Beatrix Potter

Did you know that today is Beatrix Potter's birthday? Google told me so this morning. I love Beatrix Potter. When I was little we had a huge book of her stories with her illustrations and everything.

Poison

I have never really understood why girls get so excited and scream their lungs out when they see famous singers/moviestars/whatever. Until now. We saw Poison in concert last night. I guess I somehow thought I was immune to this syndrome until I saw Brett Michaels in person. I mean, I'm sooo excited now just thinking about it, and I didn't even think I was that big a fan. But WOW! Let me just say that I think that Brett may just be the reason bluejeans were invented. And I may never forgive myself for leaving our camera in the car. (Just as Jennifer may never forgive me for going without her.) And for all you Rock of Love fans....side note: this is my only obsession with reality tv....Amber was there, not even 10 feet away from me. And, there will be a ROL 3. This one will be about touring/being on the road, at least that's what Brett said. And there will be footage from last night's concert on the first episode, so maybe I'll get to be on tv. I'm sure if I had flashed my boobs like lots of the other girls up front, I'd make the tv cut, but I'm just not that kind of girl....although for Brett Michaels.....JK. Anyway, all that to say that it was fabulous.

Thank you

I just want to say thank you to all of my wonderful friends who took care of me last weekend. You are the best friends anyone could have. At least now we'll have a good story.....Remember that time at Jennifer's that Heather passed out and hit her head? She wasn't pregnant or anything, she just had an infection. And even though she had to go to the ER and was sick, she stayed all weekend. Good times, good times.

And now, related to that, here's a little rant/question: Is it ethical for a doctor's office to make you come in for a followup and charge you for another office visit, even though you called like they said you should, and all you needed was a prescription? Couldn't they have just called that in for you? As I'm sure is obvious, this happened to me today, and I only spent aproximitely 1 minute with the doctor.

Anyway, I hope everyone has a great weekend!

"Feminism run awry..."

to which the reply is "Patriarchal society run amuk." Believe it or not, those are actual quotes from a conversation (not an argument, just good fun) about cooking at our house last night. It seems that I always do the "woman's job" of cooking for us; but, alas, the alternative is far worse. I really don't think Wade can cook. His idea of something as simple as a grilled cheese sandwich is two pieces of toast with cheese between them. So it's in my best interest to cook. But don't worry, Wade actually does most of the laundy and a good portion of the cleaning. And most of the time I don't mind that I always cook.

A New Look

So I guess you've noticed my new look by now. I just hope you're glad I'm finally posting again. The page is still not up to date with links and such, but I decided that 4 hours on my home computer is enough for one night. My goal is at least a post per week. Let me know what you think.
