Dec 1962

Today I worked at Tattered Angels most of the day. Then I always go over to my Mom's to set up her pills for the week. So, for today's picture, I decided to be a little nostalgic. A few years ago I went through a box full of old pictures and scanned a bunch so I would have copies. This one was always one of my favorites. This is me, the young one, on my brother's (Don) lap. My brother Doug is about 4 or 5, and my sister Deb sits beside him. This was taken before my youngest sister, Dianne was born. On another day later, I'll post a picture with all five of us.

Chinese take out

Some days, you just gotta do the Chinese take out. Today after school I took Kaitlyn to the doctor, again. It's been nearly two weeks since our last trip to the ER, and she's still in lots of pain. So I took her to the doctor to get a stronger pain medication because Motrin just ain't cuttin' it. So after the doctor, then the long wait at the pharmacy, it just felt like Chinese food tonight. Kaitlyn gets shrimp lo mein, and I get cashew shrimp. Yummy!!

February calendar

Wow! February is almost over already! So I figured I should post the February calendar as one of my pictures of the day. Soon I will have to flip over to March.

13 hour days


The last two days I've worked all day at school, then I've gone straight to the Tattered Angels warehouse to work to help them catch up with all the recent orders. So I've been working till 8:00 each night, making two 13 hour work days. I'm really tired.....so here's two pictures from the warehouse and lots of Glimmer Mist!

"Save Me From Myself"

Today's picture is a shot of Kaitlyn as she finishes this book. I know it looks weird and creepy, but it really isn't - I read it first. It's written by Brian Welch, the former lead guitarist of the heavy metal band, Korn. It's a story of his life as a drug addict while with the band, until he finally hit bottom, and found his life again through God. The really great thing is that this book was first recommended to me by my son.

My computer

I finally have my computer back, and I'm thrilled! Thanks to my friend, Amy, her computer guy, Ben fixed my computer. Apparently it was quite full of viruses, which he cleared off for me. And the really good news is, none of my information or photos were lost!! Yippee! It's great to have it back!

Kitty torture


This was my idea of fun this morning. The kitties can't wait till I finish my cereal so they can have my milk leftovers. Here they are anxiously awaiting, while I am holding the bowl and trying to take the pictures.

My kind of caffeine

I know, I know....it's not Starbucks or a fancy latte. Nope. My idea of a good shot of caffeine is my diet vanilla Coke, or the ever delicious Tab. Kind of retro, but still tastes great! It what gets me through the day!

Kitty Fun


The best $4 we ever spent was on this laser kitty toy. It's great fun to "harass" the kitties while they try to catch the little red dot!! Great entertainment!

Not again!

Yesterday was another day in the ER. Kaitlyn was at work when the abdominal pains came back. I called Urgent Care, and they said I would have to take her to the ER to determine if the cysts had come back. I was pretty sure that one had burst, due to the severe pain she was having. To make a long story short, six hours at the ER, another ultra sound, a cat scan, and the doctor doesn't know the cause of the pain. So we left with pain killers and a goal to visit her family doctor soon. And this is Kaitlyn's meal choice again....toast and grape jelly with pineapple and strawberries. At least the fruit is healthy!
