GMA

So next Thursday, June 26th, my Mom and I will be VIP guests at Good Morning America thanks to someone my Mom petsits for. Apparently this person works with an account for ABC and rubs elbows with "the" people who can get you hard to find tickets for tv shows. But I ask you, who the heck wants to get up at the crack of dawn to go to some tv show on their vacation? Only I will do this for my mother. I'm sure it will be fun and it's definitely something I've never done before.

Happy Birthday Deidre!

I hope you have the most beautiful day my friend! I love you!


Oh, and I have survived Recitals. And my tongue is just about healed up (yay!). I will find out on July 1st what exactly it was. My poison Ivy is drying up (thank GOD!), but there are still times I itch like crazy....oddly enough Absorbine Jr. makes it stop itching instantaneously. Who knew!?!?!?! Aveeno bath soaks have worked tremendously too! Whew! We officially have our tickets for New Kids On The Block. I know it seems crazy, but I absolutely can't wait for the concert! I've been jamming to my NKOTB greatest hits cd in the car. haha

T-minus 10 days until I leave on vacation to NYC! It can't get here quick enough!

Words you never want to hear at the dentist

So I went to the dentist last Wednesday so he could have a look at the tongue "bump." So I stick out my tongue and he goes, "Oh gosh I have no idea what that is. What is that? (rhetorically of course)" So he refers me to an oral surgeon to have it looked at. I went to that appoinment yesterday and after he pulled my tongue almost completely out of my mouth says, "well the botttom line is we need to get that off there and sent to a lab." So today at 10:45 am I got my tongue "bump" removed. My tongue felt 4 times the size when it was done from the numbing medication. It was weird. But, the lump isn't there, just fresh tongue tissue and cauterized bleeders. SO, here's to hoping it doesn't grow back!



This past weekend I helped build a new fence for my backyard. As a result I have poison ivy covering my entire body, bruises, and a cut phone wire. The phone/internet should be fixed by 7 pm tonight. I also have quite a tan starting on my shoulders. So, I don't look so pale, which is nice except I itch too much to really enjoy my new darkness. On Saturday morning at the house I was housesitting at I got up super early to let the dogs out and as I was walking through the kitchen I slipped on dog slobber and fell knee first to the floorwhile banging my arm along the island. I looked like I have been beat up. I'm glad last weekend is over!



This week is the last week for dance until August! Woo-Hoo! I'm ready for a break! All my costumes have finally come in. Now all I have to do is spray paint and glitterize some magic wands for my 4-5 year old class and everything will be done! Recital is on Saturday and though it will be a long exhausting day, it will just mean that Sunday officially starts summer for me! YAY!

Luck will visit you on the next new moon

So, it's been a while since I've written, so I think I should just bullet my life:

• There's been a few times where I was gonna do this and I was gonna do that, but in the end I just stayed home and did nothing and it was actually quite fullfilling.
• It's one month until I go on my vacation to NYC. We now have tickets to 3 musicals while we are there. One is "Young Frankenstein." You better know that my favorite part will be the tap routine to "Puttin' on the Ritz." I know this without even seeing it.
• Our Scott and Kristin are finally married and I couldn't have pictured a better wedding ceremony for them! And the reception at the wine place was absolutely perfect. And the Reisling wine was AWESOME!!!! How cool it was that you guys picked these 3 wines and then had your pictures and info put on them?!?!? And I love the mixed cd. It's on rotation in my cd player :)
• I was suffering from insomnia for the past week and have now finally rested the past 2 nights. I don't understand how a person's body can function on 1-2 hours of sleep per night, but somehow mine was. It wasn't pretty, but somehow I was pressing on.
• Mike McClure at Hank's was fabulous. The girl I was sitting next to thought it appropriate to tell me, "I don't mean to be a bitch, but I'm like really good friends with Mike. We go to his shows all over." I wonder, how is that being a bitch? And how far from the truth could she have been? I'm pretty sure Mike couldn't give a rats ass as to who you are. Of course, she may have been pretending to be his sister at the hotel that night. Who knows.
• We finally got Lori to a Johnny Cooper show on Thursday night. And I'm pretty sure she enjoyed it as she said to me, "I know you've been trying to get me to a show, but man I didn't know it was going to be like this." or something to that effect. He pretty much kicked ass that night. And it didn't hurt matters that Matt Powell was playing guitar with Adam Hood and that Miranda Lambert got up on stage to sing "22 days." I'm pretty sure though that that wasn't coke in her glass....i'm just sayin....it was a far cry from that little 17 year old I once saw at Bills.
• I saw "Made of Honor." It was really good. Makes me want to visit Scotland.
• After a few months of not having a light in my bathroom (and yes I changed the lightbulbs first and it still didn't work), I finally went to Home Depot and bought a new fixture. I even installed it myself...without shocking myself and everything! And now I can see to get ready in the morning instead of trying to get ready by a night light. I am woman hear me roar!
• This weekend I have spent cleaning. I hate cleaning, but you can eat your lunch off my bathroom floor now it's so clean. Today I drank a cider beer with Deidre at BJs and we went area rug shopping for her new residence. We heard some interesting conversation coming from some boys at the bar. I decided the reason the guy probably wasn't married was because his ideals weren't all that idealistic. I think when you are pushing 40 like he was, it might be time to change your game plan buddy.
• On Wednesday I go to the doctor to have my tongue looked at. I have what I affectionately call my tongue tumor. I'm hoping there's some magic medicine that can cure it. It's been there a little over 2 months now and it's presence is starting to annoy me. After I googled tongue tumors I think it most resembles mucolitis which is basically an ulcer on your tongue that takes some kind of special medicine to get rid of it. Deidre is the only one I've shown it to besides my Mom. So if you could all keep your fingers crossed. I mean what would someone do if they had to have part of their tongue removed? Would you be the freak friend who's missing part of her tongue? Ok I'm not going to think about that.

Everyone have a great week! And if my fortune cookie was right tonight, some luck may be coming my way!
