Neglecting duties yet again.... I was sitting here today wandering around DSLR and I realized that I, yet again, have not been posting here. Shame on me. What do I think I have... a life? So.. here goes. Today at work I was typing a patients chart (name and other info not available per HIPAA ) when I couldn't believe my ears. This female patient claims that she (get this) "ACCIDENTLY" used cocaine. How the hell do you accidently use cocaine? Let me guess... she was running across the room and happened to trip face first onto a big ol pile of the white stuff. Then, because she had fallen and couldn't get up, she had to breathe so she sniffed it right up! LMAO!! Oh the stories you hear at work.

I've caught a bug. It appears that I have caught a bug. No, not the cute and fuzzy bugs that you want to hug and squeeze and call "George", but the nasty, yucky, coughing, sneezing and sniffling bugs that you try to kill with lots of meds. At first I thought, indigestion. Then I thought sinuses. Kinda think a cold now. Although today has been a pretty decent day. Yesterday was the killer. Stayed in bed all day (alone, so no - it wasn't much fun!) It all started Monday night so hopefully it has run it's course and on its way out. Plus, I think I took the green pills this morning instead of the orange pills. Bummer. I was tired all morning long. But don't worry, I was extra careful while operating heavy machinery!

To quote another "It's now official" So hubby and I FINALLY decided on a vehicle. We purchased (in my name, 'cuz it was my B-Day) a 2007 Equinox AWD!! It is pretty nice if I do say so myself. Silverstone Metallic is the color and it has a "dark" grey interior, but to me it's more like a medium/light grey. Very nice. So yes, I am officially now a "Soccer Mom". BUT (and it's a big ol but ) I did not put a soccer magnet on the back of the SUV. On a down side though, there is a soccer ball in the back along with one of those fold out chairs in a bag things. Daughter really likes it because she has loads of room in the back seat now. She sits higher so she can see more out the front. (So far she hasn't complained of being "dizzy" while in it) so that's a plus!!

What's with the margins?? WTH!?!? My journal looked much, MUCH better with the margins over to the left and not the right. EDIT: Apparently it is just my margins. Great. Well, since this is all about me and everything, I'll keep my comment about the margins until they magically go back to normal.

Soccer update So mini me LOVES soccer (and she looks so darn cute in her little uniform! ) Her team name is "Bulldogs" (appropriate since she is in the Lakeview Bulldogs school system) and they have played 2 actual games and 1 scrimmage. Results: Scrimmage game: Other Team 1, Bulldogs 1 (TIE) Actual game #1: Other Team 0, Bulldogs 1 (WON) Actual game #2: Other Team 0, Bulldogs 4 (WON) Actual game #3: Other Team 0, Bulldogs 1 (WON) Actual game #4: Other Team 0, Bulldogs 2 (WON) Actual game #5: Other Team 1, Bulldogs 0 (LOST) Actual game #6: Other Team 0, Bulldogs 3 (WON) Actual game #7: Other Team 0, Bulldogs 4 (WON) ** Got the soccer pictures back today. They are so cute. Mini me looks so grown up. ::sniff, sniff:: ** Actual game #8: Other Team 0, Bulldogs 0 (TIE) Actual game #9: Other Team 2, Bulldogs 0 (LOST) Needless to say, she is very excited about this. Now, I knew nothing (nada, zip, zero) about soccer before her playing and I had no idea it was such a contact sport. So far, 1 little boy flipped over and it looked as though his little neck was going to break. He cried for about 2 minutes and then was back up and in the game. Another boy got smacked right in the face with a ball that was just kicked. He looked shocked, looked around, and then went after the ball and tried to score. THESE BOYS ARE TROOPERS! Then there is my little one. I am so proud of her. She was never really into sports until this year. She loves the independent, non-contact things like dance (tap, jazz, ballet and gymnastics) so for her and soccer, she is learning all about the whole contact sport thing. I am glad she likes it though. She is improving with every practice and game and that is all any parent could ever ask for. I am glad that she is not the only first timer on the team though. Seems like a lot of the kids on her team have played for 2 maybe 3 years (plus indoor leagues - just found that out last night!). No more games until September 5 and then we have Ballet starting and soccer on the same night. Oh boy, this'll be fun. Go Bulldogs!!

Dance class I took my daughter to dance tonight. We got to watch the last 10 minutes of the class before hers. The class with the little 2-3-4 year-olds in it. They were so adorable. Watching them try to do their forward rolls was just precious. Their little butts would get stuck up in the air! It was too cute. When they were done, my daughters class goes in. She loves to dance. Actually, that was how I got her potty trained. She used to watch "The Best of Elmo" and Elmo would do this little tap dance. She loved to watch that. She told me that she wanted to dance. I told her that she couldn't take dance lessons until she was potty trained. Guess what? The little shit understood that one all too well. She was potty trained within a week or two of me telling her that! Then I had to scramble to find her a dance studio. She is in a class with about 9 other girls. Mostly between the ages of 5-7 (There is a little girl in there that is about 9). Anyways... I'm sitting there watching her dance and they do all these moves like shaking thier butts. Some little girls are very shy about that. They just kinda stand there and wiggle once or twice. Some even stand there and kinda move one leg only. But not my daughter!! Oh no, she gets into it. She shakes her little butt like she might even break the damn thing. She watched herself in the big mirror in her classroom and tries to add facial expression while doing this. Now mind you, the other little girls are just trying to look at the teacher and make an attempt to actually do the steps correctly. My daughter is acting like she is auditioning for a Las Vegas show! Scary!! I like that she likes to dance and enjoys it. But I'm not so sure I like her liking to shake her butt around and show facial expressions. I suppose I'll worry more when she's older and doing this. Maybe, just maybe, it's a phase and she'll grow out of it or something. A Mom can dream, can't I?

Let's focus on me now, shall we? So it's way past my bedtime and I find myself roaming the halls of DSLR. I come across the journals and think to myself, "self, why not?!" So here I am. I'm tired, but I can't sleep. I actually tried to lie down a couple hours ago with no luck. So then I got up and decided to cruise around DSLR for awhile. I like "lurking" in the forums where I know nothing. The language is completely foreign to me and I keep thinking that maybe, just maybe, some of it may rub off onto me. That has yet to happen. I know how to turn the computer on and get online. I can uninstall and reinstall my firewall and antivirus now blindfolded. Oh, and I added memory all by my itty bitty self without frying the computer! Go me!! I may be exaggerating just a tad. I have learned a few other things while on DSLR. By accident, of course. Why would I want to clutter my poor little brain with knowledge anyway? I should get to bed now. Tomorrow is the first day of my summer vacation (whoo hoo)!! Maybe I will actually get to go swimming if it doesn't storm. Thanks for focusing on me. We'll have to do this again sometime.
