Memories

Memories...I hope you will play along.Here are the directions:

1. Add a comment on my blog and leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot just do anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments!

The Color Purple

For Christmas David got me tickets to see The Color Purple. We finally got redeem those tickets yesterday. Danyell & EuGene watched the girls for us so that in of its self was a treat not to have 2 little girls vying for your attention constantly. I love this story - it is one of the only movies that I will watch over and over again - and learn something each time I see it so seeing the play just added to that. Now I know what I will be reading until Breaking Dawn comes out.


The only annoying thing was that there were a lot of people that were late and they kept letting them in so for the first half of the play I kept having to move up and down or side to side just to see the stage - I was starting to get really upset and was about to say something when someone behind me started complaining (I was glad that it wasn't me that had to make a stink and I know David was glad I kept my mouth shut).

I also discovered that Les Miserables (hey Danielle- that brings back some memories) and Wicked are also coming before the end of the year. I just might have to make this a habit.

Okay, let me get this straight.....

So much for going to the doctor. Now I know why I don't go - then you find out things that are wrong with you. What's wrong with living in abyss? I kind of like it.

I finally got in to see the dermatologist - not even 5 minutes the PA (not even the dr) came in took a look at me, asked me what my concerns were, wrote some prescriptions and was gone. Hey that's okay - I just want to get rid of my acne. Then I go to fill it. Ha Ha Ha - dealing with insurance companies and formulary charts, not my idea of fun. The first prescription I received was sulfa based - guess now is as good as any to find out that I am alergic to it - Good thing I figured it out sooner rather than when the hives were really bad. Then I had to get the dr to call in a different prescription. Go to pick it up and register reads $120 - I felt bad for the pharmacy tech because I was not about to pay that much money for a month of prescriptions. So I spent the next week trying to get a hold of the nurse to call the insurance company to get a PA (pre-authorization) for one medication and making sure they prescribed a medication that had a generic that was on the formulary list, what a mess.

Then my annual visit to the OB/GYN. When I told her my concerns about the acne and some other things I'd been experiencing she decided to do a blood test to check hormone as well as other things. 1st test came back with high insulin levels so she wanted to do do another blood test - oh great (I do not like being stuck) 2 1/2 hrs later and a bruise on my arm that just went away (its been almost 2 wks) I get my follow up visit. I am now insulin resistant. Still trying to understand it all - it's all a little overwhelming because a lot of times it is tied to PCOS or Diabetes but I don't have either one of those. I have a lot of reading to do.

4th of July



Jill and Ashley came to visit for the weekend. All us girls had lots of fun - luckily David doesn't mind being the odd man out. Kaia was in heaven having someone to play with all the time. Kiersten was trying to keep up with the big girls and I enjoyed just having Jill around. We went swimming and went to watch the fireworks. It was very pleasant - not hot and sticky (which made it even better).
