I was at an auto event this weekend. Lots of people brought their dogs, this one guy brought his 5 foot long snake. He was sitting in the bleachers and all the girls around him were freaking out.

I walked right over and asked if i could hold him, which he promptly said, yes.

All the girls looked at me like i was nuts. It was fabulous.

So grandma finally had her back surgery yesterday. Good news! It was a success. There was a massive calcium build up pushing on her spinal cord, AND the cyst she had, which was also pushing on her spinal cord was 10 times the size they thought. Think of an iceburg, where you can only see the tip and its HUGE under water. That's how the cyst was. They got it all, but it was difficult, since it impeded so much.

The only bad thing is she lost a lot of blood so she needed a blood transfusion....

My lower back is all knoted up, and it goes all the way down my right side into the back of my thigh. Usually a good stretch does it fine and the problem goes away, but I did 30 minutes of stretching last night and I swear its worse. I have a heating pad on it right now.

Any other suggestions? Can't do a massage. Liz = broke and Todd sucks at them.

I'm trying to switch to mail order prescriptions, it would save us roughly $400/ year. Through mail order you get 3 months at once, instead of an order every month. This is great except for ONE thing. They want payment for all 3 months at once. Thats $312!

I'm used to paying monthly. I called them and asked if I could pay $156 one month, and then $156 the next. This would give me an extra $156 every 3 months! They flat out said no. I could shlep it on a credit card, but i really...

I'm the kind of person who has a great moment in the morning, then the rest of the day spirals out of control into oblivion.

Yesterday I head off to the farmers market in search of some flowers. Whammo! The most beautiful hanging baskets, which at a fancy garden store would be at least $25 were only $15. I take two and some other annuals to brighten up the yard. I have a delicious cup of coffee and pick up fresh local strawberries and a pan of cinnamon rolls. Delish!
