If everything goes according to plan I will be ordering my Invisalign tomorrow. After almost 6 months of waiting for insurance to catch up. I finally have all my funding, coupons, and excreta straitened out. I have to pay the doctor first before he will order my case. I received a coupon back in April for a staff discount from the company. I only have to pay the lab fees and that is it. I have the funds but my coupon expires tomorrow. If it doesn’t happen tomorrow it probably won’t happen. I have never been so excited about my teeth before. My sister has braces right now, the metal traditional kind that hurts. I know this isn’t going to be a pain free process. My lowers are the only real problem and that will go quick. It should be less than 8 months of trays to wear and they are CLEAR. That is the best part. You won’t be able to tell. This is my last chance to have straight teeth. I am getting to old for braces.
Today I got up early (for a weekend at least) and got some things done. I went to lunch with Mike and then we went to Wal-Mart and did some grocery shopping. I had my coupons and the weekly ads. I spent the most on house stuff like light bulbs, cleaning supplies, plastic bag, paper plats, and a lot more of the same type of stuff. I didn’t realize how many things I really needed. Well maybe wants some stuff more than needed. I am going to wait until Mike goes to work tomorrow and go see him for his lunch and do the rest of my food shopping at his store. I have a long list of produce I need to get. The dogs and cats need more food also. I am only half way done with my list.
I went and say the dogs tonight. My sister is having company in town so they are staying the weekend at my mom’s house. She was going out to a concert tonight and they were going to be along for a good 10 hours. We went and hung out with them for a while. I brought them bones I got at the store today. Once I gave them their bones they didn’t even care if we were there. I made sure they went out for a walk and then left the TV on. They didn’t even get up to say good bye. They are coming over for the weekend next Friday.
Dinner turned out really good last night. I just covered the fish in olive oil, fresh rosemary and lemon. I put them on the stove top grill. For no ones help it was really good. I had to make Mike chicken because he won’t touch fish unless it is in the shape of a stick or comes out of a can. Its still fish so I don’t get it. Mike made stuffed pepper for dinner tonight. He had to call my mom and ask her how to do something. He made them so much better than I have ever had. He can some times go overboard with the spices but he keep it under control this time.
We have to make a weekly plan for dinner. There are a bunch of receipts that we want to make. We have enough ideas for almost two weeks of meals. Tomorrow night is going to be BBQ chicken pizza. We will see how it turns out. Mike wants to use his Ronco Rotisserie to make a roast. I am excited about that. Anything we have ever cooked in the rotisserie has come out so good. We have never tried a roast before. I am going to go lay down and read some of my book Mike said if I get up earlie enough than he will make me breakfast.
I know it has been a long time since I even had the urge to sit down and write something. I think about how this is just a waste of space and money each month for nothing. I haven’t been in the mood for anything the past two months. I have been working a lot and when I am not working I am trying to catch up on a long list of things to do. I have slowly been getting to everything on that list. I have found that if I break things down it is easier to get them done. I have been getting more organized lately and that always help. We have had to minimize what we have since we moved in with mikes mom. She wants to live with us so she can save and she didn’t need all this space. So she moved out of the master and we put everything but our bedroom in a storage unit and moved it. He lease is up at the end of August and then we will all move somewhere with a garage and a real yard. When the time comes to move all of our stuff will already be in boxes. I sent my dogs to live with my sister for a while. Mikes mother has two cats and with my two it is already a animal house. I need more room before the dogs come back to live with me. I miss them so much I have them over every other weekend to spend the night and have some quality time.
Speaking of animals I took the cats to the vet today. It was time for their annual check ups. They both got shots in their butts and a thermometer up there too. It was hell to get them there. I tore the bed apart tying to get Lilly out from under it. Then the whole car ride was filled with nothing but cries from them. I had a head ache before we even got there. I had to take them all by myself since Mike had to go in today. He was sick on Tuesday and Wednesday and switch with someone who had the day off. He has been through a lot this past month. He went to a check up with the ear doctor and they found out his cholesteatoma grew back. His surgery was planned for two weeks later. Last Friday he went in at 8:30 and was out of there by 12. The good news was they didn’t have to cut his head open like last time they just went through the ear cannel. The bad news is he is going to have to have the surgery done every 6 months to a year if they keep growing like they did. He can’t hear very well out of his right ear. I feel bad for him because he is so young and losing his hearing.
I finally bought a flickr account. I have been waiting for ever and my dad sent me some extra money because he loves me. He just randomly tells me hey I sent you money. I will never complain. It’s nice because it helps out when you need it or is that extra cash so don’t feel guilty about buying something you really don’t need. He is coming out next month just for the weekend. He wants to spend time with my sister and I since he lives on the east coast and we don’t see him that much. Usually he flies out here twice a year for a week for so just to hang out. I always look forward to him visiting because he buys good dinner.
That is pretty much sums up everything new and interesting going on in my life. I trying to twitter when I can remember and I hope having a pro account will make me us flickr more. I seriously haven’t taken out my camera in 4 months. I have my iPhone now and use that camera a lot. I always told myself that once I got a iPhone I would update my website, be more organized and all that other crap I told myself I would do. None of it has happen. I find myself playing games and listening to music more than anything. I am going to go cooks something for dinner now. I took some salmon out of the freezer today maybe I’ll let you know how it turns out.

I always write things on my blackberry and then send them to my email. I never remember to post them and I feel wrong about back dating my post. I decided to clean out my email along with a lot of clutter in my life and here is all the post I had sitting there waiting for something. They are dated from furthest to current.

I always want to write at the wrong moment like when I am in the car driving, in the bathroom, or right before I go to bed. it’s my thinking times. I think it is strange how I am going to start my life and all that wonderful stuff but there are people who don’t plan who don’t choose to start their family it just happens. I am just lucky that I have had the chance to really plan my life and know what I want so maybe one day I will be happy and not regret the choices I made because they were a hasty decision.

I find that life takes you in the place you need to be. Destiny is something I thrive for. The fait of my like in trigs me to no end. I must know what life hold for me. I must know my next path in life. I talked about a lot of people today I told the thoughts in my mind with no concern I am tired of telling my tales to mike with no reply. It’s time to explain what’s on my mind with no concern.

I think it is funny how I go see my husband at Whole foods and I still drive by another one on the way home. I wish he worked at a closer store and still had the same people on his team. They closed down his store.
Hi, It’s been a while I know. I really am not good at this anymore. I try and try again. I didn’t even post anything last month. I have been relishing in the New Year. 2009 is not the best year yet but it is better than last year to start. I haven’t been up to nothing exciting. I am still working at the dental office. I like it more and more as the time goes on. It is not my ideal job for the rest of my life but it will get me through. It is a lot nicer than anywhere else I can think of. The health care profession is a lot better than retail. I think it is the fact that our patients need us more than we really need them. My pay has got better. There is even talk of bonus. With the way things are looking up we might be able to buy a house by the end of the year. With prices so cheap right now we are stupid if we don’t. Good things are coming.
I can say on thing I have been keeping up on is my flickr 365 project. I started on the first of the year and whether I remember to take a picture or I have to grab my cell phone right before bed I have taken a picture. It makes me proud to have gotten through all of January. Maybe it can be a kick start to me updating more. I have been in the creative these past few weeks and I need to focus that energy in to something productive. I will try I promise.
