my life is boring.....

im just so bored lately.
i think thats why i have not been here daily.
its not that i dont have things to do, i do, i just dont care about doing them right now.
and that my friends is me having a shitty attitude.
i need time off.
its been great being back to working mon-tue-wed.
but i think i need a vacation.
like for a month.
but that will never happen.
crap...
i shouldn't put it like that.
i'll end up breaking my leg or something.

so hubby went and had acupuncture for his back.
he was very impressed by the whole thing.
he spent more time with the acupuncturist talking over every aspect of his life before the guy even put one needle in.
he had needles in his ears, hands, feet and ankles....for back pain!
crazy huh?
but it worked.
that night the pain in the middle of his back was gone.
all he had left was some tightness in his neck and shoulder, and a little pain still in his elbow.
and a headache....but he was told that he could get one as a side effect.
it has been since friday, and he still only has the tightness and his elbow is bugging him, but other than that he feels so much better.
he goes again in a week.
its really amazing how well it worked for him.
after 6 months of pain he was ready to try anything.
he had several massages, a few chiropractor appts, many doctor visits for muscle relaxers and pain pills, and finally ended up with a home electric pulse/shock machine.
and none of it was curing it.
it helped to ease symptoms....but they were not going away.
it finally took, as he puts it, a 4,000 year old treatment!
obviously it works or it would not have been around this long~

weeeee.....i get to go AGAIN!

Last Thursday I went to the dentist to get my crown put on.
I get to go again tomorrow.
SQUEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
I'm so excited!
**insert MAJOR sarcasm**
His assisstant ruined it.
She was shaving off some of the sides to get it to fit, and she took too much off one side.
I don't think he was very happy with her.
So I get to go back tomorrow and do it all over again.
Blargh.....

Randomness follows.....

I was happy with the outcome of Dancing with the Stars. I loved Nicole and Derek's dancing. Geeze....some people are throwing absolute fits over it. They are claiming she was a pro dancer already. Please....just because someone can dance Hip Hop doesn't mean they know how to dance a waltz, jive, paso, tango quick step or any of the other dances. Those people have no clue how difficult those are. They all have different requirements. Body position, foot placement, heel first, ball of foot first, not to mention the hip action! It's all different. That is why there are pros who specialize in only one dance. They have been saying this for years. Pop-Stars who sing and dance on stage are "street" dancers, not ballroom dancers. They worked their butts off and deserved to win. I didn't hear this many people complain with Drew Latchey won. He dances on stage too! What about Donny Osmond? How long has he been singing and dancing on stage? A long freaking time! I think a lot of it is women jealous of Nicole. She is a beautiful woman who can move. I loved watching her. So congrats from me!

Idol.....

Honestly....I didn't think either of them performed that great last night. And I love both of them. Lee sounded like he forgot some words at one point and so did Crystal during Black Velvet. Which I thought she screamed most of. Bad song choice. That song needs to be all sexy low and smokey and smooth sounding. Not screamed. So I was not that thrilled with the show. Either can win.

GLEE.....

OK....I admit it. I am a GLEEk. I didn't watch this show at all the first half or so last season, but was recording it for hubby. He loves his Journey, and any show that starts off with Journey is worth watching in his book. So he liked the show, thought it was funny and asked me to set a series recording. I started watching it when he would have it on....and I started to like it. Then they had on Kristin Chenoweth. Then I started to love it. Now I watch each episode twice. The night it airs, and then the recorded show when hubby watches.
Love it.
Love it.
Love it.
I have embraced my inner GLEEk.
:-D

of spiders and banana bread.....

yesterday i stopped to get my mocha and i bought some banana bread. i ate some of it in the morning and then later in the afternoon i started to snack on the rest of it. i ate a couple bites, then broke off another piece and i looked at it and something was in it. i took a closer look and i could see spider legs. there was a big spider cooked in the bread. the body was mushed and cooked and the legs were sticking up all around it. it was so gross. i spit out what was in my mouth and threw it away. i was sick to my stomach the rest of the afternoon. it was so nasty. i should have taken a picture when i first saw it. i tried to later, but once the air hit the legs they shriveled up. ok...i'm queasy just talking about it!
so this morning i stopped by to get a mocha and girl at the coffee stand asked if i wanted anything to eat. i said "well i dont want any banana bread thats for sure!" her and the other gal were all "why? what happened?" i told them and they freaked out. omg we're so sorry. omg thats so gross. she told me she was giving me my drink for free. i told her no, it wasn't their fault and it really wasn't the bakers either. things like that happen. she insisted on giving me the drink for free. she brought it to me and said "i made you a large one. i'm so sorry. you're being so nice about this." we were laughing it off, but i think they felt really bad about it.
not their fault, but i will never eat banana bread unless i cook it again!

hold on to your butts.......

we are suppose to have a little storm tonight.
they are calling for highish winds and rain.
kinda typical spring weather here.
here it is....



i will take that waaaaay over this......



i can not even imagine what people in the midwest have to go through every spring and summer when it comes to these monsters.

i would love to go on a tornado chase, but i want the tornado to be out in the middle of no where.

running across a field of corn or something.

the tornado...not me....i would not be running anywhere....i would be cowering in a car probably peeing my pants.....

but i would still go and do it.

i have wanted to see one ever since i was a kid.

wonder if it has anything to do with my favorite childhood movie....

the wizard of oz....

hmmmmm.......

hahahaha! look at that....i didnt come here alllll weekend!

and i totally enjoyed it!
i thought about it a couple times...
but then i just did not care.
i had nothing to say
i was busy doing the things i wanted to do
and i had a great time doing them!
well except when i was folding the laundry.
that was not so fun...
i did see 3 movies this weekend though.
thursday was iron man 2.....blargh...
friday was letters to juliet.....loved it....
and sunday was robin hood.....ok...not fantastic....but ok none the less.
we saw the last movie at cinetopia in the living room theater.
that theater is for 21 and over only.
we had beer and wine and some spinach artichoke dip w/chips!
yummo!
they also have a wine tasting room where you purchase a card or something and they have a huge wall of wine bottles and you put the card in a slot above whatever wine you want to taste, and it pours out a sample of the wine into your glass.
looks fantastic!

i want to go back to at least do that before a movie sometime.
maybe get a little tipsy before a comedy!
might make the movie funnier :-)
