CRISP-AY!

Yup, that is what I got today at the Pool!

Little Man's 8th Birthday is next Friday, but Grandma & Grandpa Savant will be on their way to MN to visit Grandma Savant's Mother and Sister (Same place the kids and I just got back from.)by then. So, we had the Big Birthday Bash this afternoon at the Leawood Pool.

The temperature stayed close to 90, the water was exactly right, and everyone had an awesome time. The only thing that went wrong was that I, the Incurable Savant, forgot to put sun block on. Thanks to my forgetfulness, I now look like a piece of bacon.

BTW, Little Man CLEANED UP!

Immigration Test

Mujibar was trying to get into America legally via Immigration.
The Immigration Officer said, "Mujibar, you have passed all the tests required to enter America except one."

Mujibar said, "I am ready now sir for taking your testing."

The officer said, "Please make a sentence using the words Yellow, Pink
and Green."

Mujibar thought for a few minutes and said, "Mister Officer, I am
ready now."

The officer said, "Please go ahead."

Mujibar said, "The telephone goes green, green, green, and I
pink it up, and say, 'yellow, this is Mujibar.'"

Mujibar now lives in a neighborhood near you, and works at
Microsoft on the Help Desk.

Are You All Sitting Down?

Go ahead, I'll wait.......

I mean it you better sit down, cause if you don't you will fall down when you read this.


The Incurable Savant actually drank a Diet Coke at lunch today, and sorta kinda maybe liked it a little bit. There is still that nasty after taste to deal with, though. It is very amazing to me how much better it tastes now that it is the only thing I can drink!

Hey, get up off the floor. I told you to sit down didn't I? Now, fan yourself a little and you'll come around.

Interview

I have an interview for the job I was telling you about on Wednesday the 3rd at 3pm. Wooo Hooo

Wednesday, July 27, 2005

The Dr Says....

Loose weight and stop drinking Coke. Gee, I never saw those two things coming.

All in all it went well. Got more meds to take, and have to see a dietitian. Eventually, I will have to check my sugar twice a day.

As I walked out of the office she said, "Ok, when I see you in a month, I had better see less of you!" I pray that she will, much less.

Off To The Dr.

I am off to my Dr. appointment today at 1:00pm. Hopefully, I will be feeling better soon!

GASP, It's Been A Whole Week!

I am soooooo Sorry!, I haven't posted for a whole week. I would like to say that I've had my head in my new Harry Potter book, or running around in this 100 + degree heat, but that has not been the case. Unfortunately, I have been doing as little as possible. I actually feel very wonky, and my dr appointment is not until Wednesday! (You know I feel like shit, since I haven't even read in a week.)

I was able to pick my children back up last Wednesday. That meant I left work at 12 noon, drove to Joplin, transfered their stuff from one trunk to the other, had dinner, then drove home, arriving at 10:30pm. Which means that I was more whooped that ever the next day at work.

I will post more when I feel like it. I hope that is soon.

PS THANK YOU GREEK CHICKIE FOR THE POST CARD.

You Will Assimilate!

I have hooked a friend on blogging. Muuuuhahaha!

Please welcome Wichita Mamma...

I have already blogroller her to the left. Time to leave so don't have the minutes to link her in this post.

Warning, she is a very good friend of mine "PLAY NICE!" LOL

New Job, Maybe?

I just applied for a transfer to another account that has an opening, with my company. I like the person who will be my boss. (I have worked there before in another roll.) Plus it is much closer to home, I won't have to pay for parking, and I can sleep a little longer in the morning!

It is not what I really want, lots more money at a different company, but it will keep me from having to worry about what to do when the account that I am at closes.

I already know that the person who is doing the hiring likes me alot. Hopefully, the interview will jsut be a formality.

I will keep you all posted.

BAD NEWS

Dr. office called today with test results. My sugar count was 495. For those of you who don't know, normal is about 120. Looks like I am Diabetic. Now for the bad news, NO MORE COKE! boo hoo

I'll live, water will have to do the trick for me. I go back next Wednesday to talk to my regular Dr. about the results.

On The Road Again

I will be leaving at noon today to go and pick up my kids in Joplin. I hope this is the last time I will be on the road for awhile.

Won't be home till late tonight.

17 More!

Another 17, over at Kansas City In Focus !

What Kinda Ho Are You?

My previous post got me to thinking about all the different kind of Ho's I am. I thought I might list them all here. Then you can tell me what kinda Ho's you are.

Book Ho
Movie Ho
Photo Ho
Art Ho
Collector Ho
Music Ho
Decorating Ho
Blog/Internet Ho
Christmas Ho
German Ansestry Ho

Now it's your turn, Ho's. LOL

"Decorating Ho" Gets A Job

While Big Sister is at her Grandmother's house for the next few days, Daddy get to redecorate her room. Actually, this Decorating Ho isn't doing the decorating this time, it's Big Sister's Vision that I am implementing.

She wants a blue cealing and walls, with a sun and clouds on the cealing, a tree in the corner (Already had one in the basement) and Birds all over. She already has a white canopy bed, and will be getting new roof and curtains for it. I think white so they will go with the next time she wants to decorate.

After she is all settled in, Little Man wants, you guest it, Spiderman in his room. He has decided that he wants Spiderman blue on the bottom, a wide Spiderman red boarder around the middle with silver spider webs on it, and a HUGE black spider like the one on Spiderman's chest in the middle of the boader. Daddy chose Grey for the top half of the room.

Of course, there will be "after" pictures on Kansas City In Focus.

Magical Appearances

While I was shuttling my children to their grandparents, 2.5 hours one way, today Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince magicaly appeared on my door step. (with a little help from Brown) Anyway, I can hardly wait to sink my eyes into it!

Health Update & Splenda SUX!

I went to the Dr. this afternoon regarding weather or not I have aquired Diabieties. I went to the Urgent Care at my Drs office, so I didn't get to see my regular GP, whom I simply adore. I did, however, see the Italian Dr in my office. I thought of the The Peanut Queen as soon as he walked into the room. He was Tall, dark, fit, and had HUGEMUNGOUS Biceps! Frankly, if I ever decided to give up women, yeah like that would ever happen, I would go after this guy in a NY second.

Anyway, after explaining everything, and answering all of his questions I started donating. First I gave 6 gallons of blood. Then they requesed 4.5 gallons of pee. ( Actualy I was glad about that because I had to goooooooo baaaaad!) Then Hot Doc says we are going to do a whole work up on you just to make sure. (He things it might be thyroid (sp). Then he says, "Now comes the hard part." Until we know what we are dealing with we realy can't sart treating anything. That means you will have suffer until we get the results. UGH! My next appointment is a week from next Wednesday.

At Target when picking up my regular monthy assortment of drugs, for my children and myself, I bought the new DIET COKE with Splenda, and some fruit flavored water sweatened with Splenda. Can you say.....

ICKY DANCE?

I will say it is not nearly as bad as the old diet coke, but it still ranks way high up on the PUKE FACTOR SCALE. I don't know what I am going to do, I have to drink something. Maybe I will have to get myself over ice tea.

Added Honor

I was just selected to be the bi-monthly book reviewer/columnist my region's employee news letter! I did a guest column last summer, and now the regular columnist left the region.

*Snaps for me!*

I promise to use spellcheck, and better grammar, than I do on my blog.

Belated Happy 4th Of July!

Bop on over to Kansas City in Focus, and see tons of Fireworks Photos!

Sunday, July 10, 2005

OK, Photos On Parade!

Let's all check Kansas City In Focus for the 17 Minnesota Zoo pictures I posted this evening. I only posted the best, otherwise I would have drown you. In the last 10 days I have taken well over 500 pictures. About half I can't post because either or both, Little Man, or Big Sister are in them. It really is a shame since they are so damn cute, ya kown. (There I go, talkin' like a Swede again. Will probably do it for some time yet. Get used to it.)

6:27 p.m. And Still Awefull Damn Grumpy!

OK, I am now somewhat comatose after sleeping most of the day. I have eaten twice, the car is unpacked, and the laundry is spinning in the washer and dryer. I am still not ready to relive the trip home from Hell, but will share it with you some day soon.

I am currently holding myself back from dumping all 300 + pictures on my photo blog, all at once I will download some from the zoo later this evening.

Maybe by Tuesday evening I will be back to something close to normal.

Another Trip To The Library

Well folks, I have squeezed in another trip to the library. I am all excited because I did eventually did catch 3 fish Wednesday night. Wooo Hoooo. I will be going out one last time with Big Sister this evening.

This morning I did something that I have never done in all my 39 years. I washed my clothes at a car wash. Actually, small towns tend to double up on businesses, so this town has a Laundry Mat/ Car Wash.

I have taken tons more pictures and can not wait to show them to you all. I bought a new hat yesterday, and will have to take a picture of it to show you all.

I tried to catch up with all my blogs and am about to go crazy, I don't know if I can do it. I think I am about to throw in the towel and just were start where everyone is when I get home. The next post should be either Sunday pm or Monday pm. I am leaving for Minneapolis after lunch tomorrow, then heading home from the Twin Cities on Saturday am. Deppending on how long I sleep on Sunday, will determine just when I start posting about the vacation complete with pictures.

In health related news, I believe the reason my vision is going south is because of the fact that I may now have Diabeties. It runs in my family, and I am sure my extra lbs. have contributed to the issue also. The straw that broke the camel's back was the fact that I am getting HUGEMUNGOUS leg cramps that start on the top and bottom of my feet, and work their way up both front, back, and sides of my legs until they reach my ass bone. This happens multiple times a night, (5 or 6). I guess that means a trip to the doctor's office when I get home.

Even before I realized what was up, I had planned on jumping head first back into my diet/exersize program to continue on my lbs. loosing journey. However, now it looks like I have no choice at all. Don't you just love getting older?

Well, I guess it is time to take my sunburnt ass back home. My children seem to be getting wrestless, and that is not a good thing in the public library.

I still miss you all, loads,

I.S.

Mid Vacation Update

Well, I got to the library. To this point, we have had loads of fun at the MN Zoo (With many awesome pictures), and found that I missed my Grandmother's house more than I knew. (More later) So far we have done a few things I will suprise you with later (including pictures) and the fire works were a big hit as always.

Fishing update:

I have yet to brake tradition, and have still caught nothing. Big Sister, however, halled in a 5 lbs. Northern Pike this morning, just after Little Man pulled two smaller ones into the boat, within the first 15 minutes out on the lake. Umph!

I and my Aunt will be going back out this evening, hopefuly I will catch some then. I only have a few minutes and must be going so I can't make the blog rounds before I have to be back for dinner.

I am missing you all.

I.S.
