Life… Or Something Like It

This may turn out to be a very scattered post, as there’s a lot that I haven’t been writing about lately.

Candles
I have been gathering the final bits of information for our first potential order to get the business up and running. Since I already have the name of the business picked out, I have to figure out if I need to register myself as a business owner, how much that may cost, and how to figure out if that requires me to charge sales tax or not. So much stuff to figure out. Meanwhile, I”ve been trying to collect pictures and write what I want my site to say so that Hubby can make a mockup website, so we can play around with a good look that will attract a lot of people. Lucky I have a web manager at m personal disposal… :)

Kids
Now that we have the house, we’ve decided that we still want to wait a bit before having kids. We want to gather a bit more money to stack up in savings so that we aren’t scrambling around trying to feed and diaper change a baby.

Nose
I recently had my nose cauterized to help fix my bloody nose issue, however, I don’t feel that it worked. My nose bleeds if I blow it, and it bleeds if I try to pick the boogers out. It still bleeds sometimes if I get warm, or stand up too quickly. I thing the Doctor only fixed the superficial blood vessels instead of really looking deeper for the problem. He had a camera shoved up there for Christ’s Sake. I really do not want to have to go back in. I’ve been doing what he told me to do, if my nostrils feel dry and uncomfortable to breath through, I moisten them with some vaseline and nasal decongestant. The vaseline upsets my stomach though, but I have to use it.

Puppy
We’re looking at getting a puppy. We’ve been looking online at different breeds. We have a friend in Colorado who owns a Chorkie, and the breeders just had a new litter, so we thought about getting one of those, but we’d have to arrange for it to come up from Colorado. One of Hubby’s coworkers parents breed Toy Poodles (a cute kind) and we are waiting to hear back on how much his parents might want for one of those, and if we can pick our own, and when they’ll be ready. We know that TomTom, our cat, probably won’t like us getting a puppy, but that’s too bad. :) It will be nice getting a puppy in the summer time too, that way when it needs to run out for emergency potties, it won’t be too cold for us. We can walk it around a near by park and let it run around. We can also walk it around through our housing development.

Our House
We finally got the last minute things in our townhouse fixed. Thank God. Turns out the company that built them all is going out of business, and it’s last business day was Thursday. They were supposed to build a whole two other buildings of units, and aren’t. We’re glad we got the unit we did though because we don’t actually have to see the freeway. I think I am going to write a quick letter of suggestion to the HOA letting them know it would be helpful to turn that land into a little bit of extra parking, and maybe a grass area and playground for the 5 buildings on our side of the development. Hard to say what they can even do since the land is likely owned by the bank. It doesn’t hurt to make a suggestion though. :) Some of the units aren’t even occupied yet. The one directly behind us is still vacant. I think I saw that one is still for sale, but I’m not entirely sure if it really is or not.

Well, there is my random post. Hopefully I will get my booty in gear and start writing more.

 

Thanks for reading!

Good People

My boss’ boss was kind enough to excuse me from a mandatory meeting on Saturday to spend time with my ill grandpa. Most of you know who I am talking about because I’ve written about him before. He and my grandma will be here for a few days and Hubby and I are driving up to Bellingham to visit.

I don’t know if I can describe how thankful I am that she let me out of the meeting. I could have gone, but it would have put us in Bellingham around noon or later depending on traffic, and that would have given us only a few short hours with them, but now we get to spend the whole day.

I am very happy right now.

Obsession!

Some of you now how much I am obsessed with my dear ‘ol Gilmore Girls. There was a backstage special on ABC Family today. I love it! I love that they’re explaining every scene.  I have all of the words memorized of course. But I love hearing their interpretations of the scenes they acted in.

And thanks to DVR, I get to re-watch it. I am really that obsessed. HAHA

The Latest

From an e-mail I sent my dad just a few moments ago…

In the past few years I’ve been geting them more often, and they’ve gotten pretty bad. But, since working at Ross and unloading the truck I’ve gotten them more frequently, which I expected, but the intensity is getting a bit out of control. I had one in March where it lasted an hour. It’d taper off and I’d remove the tissue and then it’d start again. My boss was very cool about it though. She has been, which is really nice.

I’ve finally made the appointment because I did have one the other day out of nowhere and I had one drop land on a shirt I was hanging for the Maternity section. I can’t be ruining merchandise.

I am 80% sure it is likely a standard sinus bleed issue, but it does scare me a bit that it’s so deep. I will spare you the details because they’re kind of gross. But the only way to find out what it is is the endoscopy (camera).

The doctor I saw at our regular clinic said it could be a normal cauterization procedure they could possibly do at the time of the endoscopy, or it could be a slightly more invasive surgical procedure where they have to remove some blood vessels or capilaries/arteries (he said so much so fast, I don’t remember). I am sure it is one of those options, but I think we both know the unknown tends to scare me.

I watched some procedures online on a medical website, so I know what the endoscopy should look like, and some options of what they find/do to fix it, so I do feel better about them really finding the issue.

Well, there ya go.

Moving In

I’ve actually done quite well in this moving process, Asthma wise, anyhow. My allergies are kicking up causing my lungs to tense up since it’s hard for me to breath, but I’ve been pretty productive. Hubby and his friend should have been home by now from running a car load over to the new house, but something’s got them taking their sweet time. Who knows. Boys can be slower than girls sometimes.

I just wanted to give a quick update to everyone, we’re not dead, just busy moving! :) Pictures to come soon!

Electric Cigarette?

I found a new product today. The electric cigarette. It apparently allows a smoker to have something to do with out toxins of real cigarettes. It puffs smoke but says it doesn’t harm the user. I wonder how it puffs out smoke without actually harming the person using it. Smoke generally equals harmful. Right?

When I smoked, many moons ago, I was a fan of a type of no burn cigarettes that had a casing that was some type of metal or something, that didn’t burn, but the innards did. I thought they were cool. My friend bought me some for my 18th birthday. I also really liked clove cigarettes.

I guess there is NOW something different for everyone.

My ‘lil Friend

So, my friend is going through this nasty breakup and it is very hard on her. She’s been with the guy for 11 months and he’s picking her up and dropping her off like a yoyo. I wish I could tell her to just dump his ass and stop going back to him. But I’ve been there. If she doesn’t learn on her own, she may never learn. I really enjoy hanging out with her, and she’s told us a lot that she really enjoys hanging out with us, we get her mind off of the guy, and we play off of each other’s humor, etc. It is nice to have a girl-friend again, but it’s hard for me to watch her go through this all. I know it’s a fact of life, and it will happen sooner or later, but I still wish I could sheild her from it. She’s only 19, she should be having fun, not being depressed.

PayDay Loans

A lot of people I work with live paycheck to paycheck. I am fortunate enough to not have to live that way. I don’t have to worry about taking out Pay Day Loans. I think that when people use them responsibly and know how much they will make in a given time period, they are a good resource to have. I would like to know that if I needed that resource in the case of an emergency it would be there for me. I have credit cards that I could use, but if Ineeded more than my limit, I could use both resources.
