31 for 21: Four things

Some of you know how I feel about participating in forwards or email chains or whatever...I'm a party pooper and I never participate. But since some of my oh so dear friends sent me one today, and they put me in the "friends who will respond" category, I did oblige this once, so as not to disappoint... So since I had to go to the trouble of filling it out, I thought it might be a good post, in case I don't come up with anything better. If you're looking for blogging fodder, feel free to take your own shot at it...

Four things about me that you may or may not have known, in no particular order.

Four jobs I have had in my life:
1. Wendy’s, Madisonville, KY
2. Special ed teacher, Salem, MO
3. Patient accounts supervisor, Urbana, IL
4. Practice Manager, St. Joseph, IL

Four movies I have watched more than once:
1. What About Bob
2. The Matrix
3. Runaway Bride
4. Sneakers

Four places I have lived:
1. Irving, TX
2. Hot Springs, AR
3. St. Louis, MO
4. Wayne City, IL

Four TV Shows That I Watch: ( I watch all of Dulcy’s plus these….)
(Since you didn't see Dulcy's... it was The Office, Scrubs, Everybody Loves Raymond, and King of Queens.)
1. CSI (Vegas and Miami)
2. House Hunters
3. Iron Chef America
4. Pushing Daisies

Four places I have been (for fun - not work - ha!):
1. Singapore (well, kind of for work and fun)
2. Montana (does visiting family count?)
3. Austin, TX (also family, but fun too)
4. I don’t have a 4th…no honeymoon, never had family vacations, husband hates to travel…sad, I know.

Four of my favorite foods:
1. Chinese
2. Mexican
3. Homemade chicken pot pie
4. Anything sweet

Four people who email me regularly: (This was supposed to be individual names, but I couldn't get that specific.)
1. My clients
2. Parents
3. Employees
4. Sister

Four places I would rather be right now:
1. Anywhere in the parallel universe that’s 2 years behind this one.
2. Singapore
3. (Can’t think of two more…that pretty much covers that.)
4.

Four friends who I think will respond:
(I didn't really fill this in since I only sent it back to those who sent to me.)

Four things I am looking forward to this year:
1. Braska turning 1
2. New landscaping next week
3. (Can't think of anything else...again, sad.)
4.

  4. I'll have to sit down and make a list sometime of all the places you've visited that you don't remember :o)

    Would you like turkey pot pie for Thanksgiving this year? I think I can arrange that with the cook...

  5. Hey, these are great to read! I really enjoy your blog! And turkey pot pie sounds WONDERFUL!

    Oil Belt Camp or Christian Camp of the Living Word or Big Spring, TX, etc. might be "places you've been for fun."

    Love and "early" Happy Birthday!

31 for 21: What to say

I have encountered plenty of people who ask "How old is she?" when Braska and I are out together here and there. They always guess her age about 5 months younger than she is, but that's ok, since that's what size she is. I have said several times that I can imagine it will bother me a bit more, although still not a huge deal, when she turns one next month and I see their reaction to that, as she still is in her car seat/carrier when we're in a restaurant or in a store since she doesn't sit up. Today, I met some friends for brunch. The waitress was a nice enough, very young girl, and she started cooing at Braska right away. That's nice. I don't mind, Braska likes the attention, and I'm proud of my cutie. The waitress asked her age, and I told her 11 months. She then said, "But she's not walking yet?" as she noticed that she was up to the table in her car seat/carrier. I just agreed and said, "Not yet." She said she h

Little call, big letters

This will make more sense to you DS moms and families out there... I apologize for the cryptic nature, but you'll have to trust my reasoning. Braska had a lab draw on Tuesday last week. The GI called me Wednesday and said there were some significantly elevated levels in the results. Ok fine. Not like we've never had an abnormal lab. But then he used *those* words...the C word and the L word. Said he'd be talking to hem/onc. We needed to go redraw on Friday morning. We didn't freak or anything, but when I hung up the phone, I thought, "Wow, so that's what it's like the first time they mention it." We took her for her draw again on Friday morning, and we figured everything was fine since we got no call over the weekend. Yesterday I checked in with them. Dr. R confirmed that everything was clear, almost in a "weird way," but they checked with the lab to make sure it was a viable result. All is well. Follow up in 6 months as usual unle

Can I get a do-over?

If you are in need of a laugh at another's expense, I invite you to read on... really, it's totally ok. I can take it. This might end up long, but I wanna remember this special day. Oh so special... Today is my first day to have both girls and be on my own. Yeah, it's been two weeks, but I'm apparently slow at learning how to deal with this kind of thing. I knew it would be a challenge, but I thought with starting way early, we could make it. The quick ending is that we did make it...but that's not really the whole story. Kinlee's been sleeping til about 9 am or so after getting up twice in the night. That's ok, I'm dealing with it. But since Braska is supposed to be at school at 10 am on Mondays, I thought I better not sleep in like I prefer, and instead, I should get up and get things moving earlier to be sure we're on time. Not a problem, since Braska decided to be up twice last night in addition to Kinlee's two times. One time overlapped...so
