Let me tell you, this NCLM thing is bringing great advice and comments to my blog. Thank you all sooo much for letting me know Im not crazy in thinking that the anesthesia is costing way to much. It's just ridiculous. Im going to call my original dentist tomorrow and see what we can do. Cause $8000 for teeth, way too much. Anyway, I also lurve NCLM because Im finding fantastically phenomenal new blogs that Im getting very addicted to reading (as if I have tons of free time to be doing this, but oh well.) I very much love getting comments and leaving them. This may be something I do even after June 25th. Anyway..
Let me set the stage of the next 72 hours (is that 3 days?) I think it is. Tomorrow we leave for Rogers, Arkansas (which is 12 hours away) at 4am. It's gonna be tons of fun being in the van with my parents and fiancee. My dad and fiancee are basically the same person (they laugh at dumb jokes, for like 20 minutes after they've been told) etc. And I don't drive with my parents in the car (I know, it's childish, but my dad is such a BAD backseat driver, I'd only drive with him in the car if he was tranquilized). Anyway, the LOW for Rogers is like 85 which means the high is like 10,000...and there is NOTHING to do there. It is however, near Bentonville, where Wal-Mart was invented..so maybe there'll be something fancy there..yeah right. So we'll meet up w/my two aunts and grandma sometime tomorrow night (they went down today so my grandma could be there and rested for the rehearsal dinner tomorrow night.) Then the wedding is Saturday, but not until 5pm, so hopefully this place has a nice pool and more then 7 channels on the tv (yeah, the one at Santas Lodge had 7 channels, it was neat). The wedding begins at 5pm and it's my cousin Megan, who's mom is CRAZAZAZY. Seriously, certifiable. Maybe I shouldn't talk that way about family, but I'll have to tell you all about her in a later post. Lets just say that she made a comment when I was like 8 about why my parents couldn't have kids and they didn't talk for a few years. So the wedding will last most of the night Im sure and I am PRAYING it's an open bar. Then we'll drive the 12 hours back home on Sunday. So out of the next 72 hours, 24 of them will be in the car. Neat. Im super pumped...uughh..pray for me. Lol. At least I got my codeine cough syrup for my throat today. That should make the trip easier.
Okay, thats all for now. Not my most interesting post, but oh well. I must go return comments and leave some new ones. Oh, and we WILL be getting a second opinion on the dental thing. We heard some diconcerting news about the dentist we chose to do the surgery so we'll see how it goes. I'll update most likely, when we get back, unless there is wifi in the hotel room. Have a great weekend!

SOOO PISSY
Tell me why when I had my original dentist appointment, the one wherein they told me it was going to cost $5000 to fill 4 cavities and do peridontal work, they also said that since Im a candidate for sedation dentistry, I would have to meet with the anesthesiologist. Okay. And they said, it never costs more then $800 for anesthesiology. Okay. WHY, WHY, WHY did the AS tell me his bill was going to be for almost $3000 MORE on top of the $5000!??!!? That seems a bit much to me. That almost divides out to $800/HOUR!! Im loosing my shit! I don't have that kind of mine and I also don't have dental insurance. WTF?! Also, the dentist that is performing the surgery has already CHARGED me for the procedure I am yet to get! Why?! Why didn't they just charge part of it and not all of it and at the same time, if I can't get seen until late June or early July, why in the f*ck am I being charged now!?!? I am so angry I could spit nails. I just don't have this kind of money. Am I being unreasonable?!

Happy Anniversary
Hi5, Xanga, Tagged, Blogger Comments @ 123glitter.com
365 days ago (well 366 because of the Leap Year) I met an amazing man who has changed my life. He has taught me how to enjoy the small things, re-fall in love with Colts football, that I am worth being loved, that I am beautiful inside and out. He is amazing, funny, caring, honest, nerdy, and the future father of my children and my future husband. I am the luckiest girl in the world and I can't wait to marry him. Evan, I love you more then life. Happy Anniversary

Hmm...I can't think of a good title
Happy Adoption Day to me!! (Well actually it was yesterday, but I was super busy last night, more on that later.) 24 years ago I was adopted, I was 18 months old and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. It's funny, but I look EXACTLY like both of my parents. I don't know my birthmother, she didn't "give me up" I was taken from her by DCFS. She wasn't a good mother, she was abusive, drugs, etc. You get the picture. I couldn't have asked for a better life. I am so, SO, lucky!! So yay to me..
Anyway, last night I had Moo-Moo stay over again. I just love having her here. If I could adopt her, I really would. I would just love to keep her with me all the time. We played outside in the mud, blew bubbles, had pizza, took a bath in the BIG bath tub with TONS of bubbles, watched Family Guy (which she loves, though it may be a TAD inappropriate)she let me sleep in til 7:45am (and let me tell you she is NOT a quiet nor still sleeper. I got MAYBE 5 hours of sleep, neat)then today we went to the 500 Festival Parade (which I've gone to almost every year since I was a baby) and she LOVED it. Nothing attracts more attention then a beautiful blonde hair, blue eyed girl. The people in the parade waved RIGHT at her. And she danced to the band music and waved and wanted to walk with the horses and floats, and big balloons. She was hilarious. It was really neat to see the parade through the eyes of a two year old.
Tomorrow Evan & I are going to Holiday World for our anniversary, Im pretty excited. We had a couple of arguments the last 2 days, but nothing huge and nothing we didn't get over quickly. Just sometimes, he does dumb shit and I can't stand it. And his sister has been getting in our business a bit too much and we had to go over that. But anyway, things are fine now. I need to start my NaComLeaveMo tonight so I don't get too behind over the next 2 days.
Okay, thats all. He should be here soon. Im kind of nervous about driving, but it will be okay. Love to you all!!

Retarded Underwear..
Can you please tell me why my scrubs make my underwear go retarded!? Every night during class I have to readjust like 30 million times. The scrubs are too big, but they make my underwear roll down and my bra roll up. It's so annoying! And if I lean too far over, Im definitely showing some plumbers crack. Not on purpose, but it happens. And it annoys the piss out of me. Any suggestions? This is ridiculous. It's gonna be a huge pain in my ass (literally) when I do my clincals and I have to wear them all day.
Anyway, how about that it's be a C*nt day at school? So basically there are these same 3-4 girls in my classes who are ghetto. Thats the only way to describe, well besides the above mentioned word and ignorant. They are constantly making comments abotu everyone else while failing to realize the things they criticize, they also are doing. For instance, yesterday I missed class and apparently they made comments about Miss Bethy and her piercings/tattoos etc. And they DID NOT STOP. They just kept going on and on about how inappropriate they are and how they aren't "womanly" etc. Guess what, most of them have 5-10 UGLY tattoos on weird, "unwomanly" places like their necks, arms, thighs, etc. And they aren't even cute or pretty. At least Miss B's are pretty and intricate. And her piercings are original, and awesome, and part of what makes her HER. And I love her for that. For not giving a shit. And I also love her for not going postal on them thus far. Because every day, for the last SEVEN WEEKS they have made some kind of snide remark in class. And we have these same girls in all THREE of our classes. They are c*nts. Literally that is the only description I have available for them. And this has nothing to do with me, I know that, but it affects my friend, and therefore, I take offense. I also take offense because I think people should be able to dress/pierce/tattoo/marry/live with/date/etc. whomever/whatever/wherever they want. And we shouldn't judge. If you don't like it, keep it to yourself. I've never told any of them how ugly their attitudes or tattoos are. It's just ignorant. And Im thinking that tonight if any of them say anything, Im going to have to comment and I know for sure, that Miss B will. And of course NONE of the instructors say one word if her defense. In fact, one in particular called her a freak to her face!!!! Then of course said "oh I was kidding." Doesn't matter if you were kidding it's hurtful and ridiculous. Ughh...thats all I have for now. I have to head to that dreaded class in a few minutes..
Leave your suggestions for the retarded underwear.

So BIG news!!
So pigs are flying and hell has frozen over because....................
The Super Bowl for 2012 will be held in....INDIANAPOLIS!!!!!!
I am so excited! Seriously. I think Evan and I will run out and buy tickets tomorrow! My dad promised to take me when the Colts got in (which was in 2007) and he never did and now he's saying he won't take me when it's here..meanie..But Evan and I need to get tickets! It would be SOOOO amazing if the Colts are in the Super Bowl in their home town! I know it's 4 years away, but still, Im super excited! Yay for Indy! One small glitch in the plan....well 2 actually....First of all, the company that is overseeing some parts of the construction of Lucas Oil Stadium is bankrupt (it's something Irish Company)..They owe $5million..oops. And it involves the heating/AC/plumbing..but the news is trying to play it off like it's no big deal and the stadium will open on time. Umm how? The stadium is scheduled to open in August 2008. Im thinking it won't w/no plumbing/heating/AC..another small possible problem..Have you ever experienced February in Indiana? To say it's unpleasant would be an understatement. I'd say it was the coldest in February here. Cold, ice, snow. Tons of fun. Tourists LOOOOVE cold weather. Who doesn't want to go to Antartica for vacation? As I recall, at one point this February it was WARMER in Antartica then here. So that might be detrimental..But either way, the Super Bowl comes to Indy on 02/05/2012. Umm I think a new counter is in order...It's an addiction.
PS: I chose this graphic cause I say "woot woot" all the time. Like a nerd.
PPS: Im starting the commentathon early because I will be gone on the 25th & 26th..So yay for that!!

Umm I heart this..
Myspace
Graphics- At Myspacejunks.com
Now, that has nothing to do with this post..But i ADORED that graphic and needed it. So here's the news for this post. I went and met with financial aid and they said I owed upwards of $700..which I FOR SURE don't have. So I went and met with her to see if I could have half of that paid off by the end of the quarter. She said I'd have to have it paid off by June 30th (which I could most likely do)Well as it turns out, I was supposed to get $500 in April because I became a 2nd level student in April. Well my grant just came through and I only owed $169.59..which I paid TODAY in full. Then I don't have to pay for classes again until SEPTEMBER!!! DO you hear me?! SEPTEMBER!! Then for September-December I only have to pay $68/month!! OMG! This is the best news I've had in 90 million years. Im so, so, SO happy! That is such a load off my shoulders. Now I have gas money..lol..Since it's like almost $4.00/gallon. Ridiculous. Anyway, thats my good news for today..
Procrastination is my middle name
So there's an HOUR before class and I JUST NOW remembered all of the workbook pages I have due for MOA and for some UNKNOWN reason..I STILL am siting here typing instead of doing my work. What is wrong with me?! Ughh..Im an idiot!
********UPDATE**********
Notice the tickers? (All 75 of them?) The wedding is 4.5 months away!!! OMG!!

My 100th post
I've been waiting around to write this, hoping something "exciting" will happen so it can be my big, huge, 100th post, and I realized, LIFE is exciting! Everyday little things are exciting. My 100th post doesn't have to be something out of the ordinary. So here's my exciting post..
It's exciting that:
-I've actually kept and written in this blog (relatively regualarly) for 100 posts and more then 1 year. I've never really been able to keep up with something like this before.
-Im getting married to an amazing, fantastic, wonderful man who is the absolute love of my life. I never thought I would get to this point. To be ready to settle down and make a life with someone. I so totally am. And I am so very lucky to have found a guy who can deal with the crazy that is me and actually tells me he loves me for it. My sweet E, you are loved more then you know.
-The commenting fest begins in less than 10 days. This is something really big for me to be taking on. I read blogs CONSTANTLY but I rarely leave comments (and when I do, I screw them up, refer to previous post on this). But now, some of these people need to know that sometimes it's been their blog that has kept me from dropping into the pit of despair. Hopefully I can do that for someone else. It'll be neat to actually get comments on my blog. I know people read it cause I've looked at the counter, but no one usually comments. I'll be popular..yay!!!
-Next weekend Ev & I are going away for our 1 year anniversary (which is actually the 27th.) It'll be the first time we've gone anywhere with each other. I think it will be really nice and we really need the time to just be with each other.
-2 weeks from today my cousin Megan will be married!! How exciting. It's weird, but Megan & Tim's wedding has been a gauge for how close my own is..and now, it's here. My wedding is only about 4.5 months away! Holy cow!
Okay..thats enough exiciting for the day. Happy 100th Post to me!

PURPLE
So basically purple is my most favorite color (on the other hand there isn't one SPECK of purple in my wedding, which surprised everyone who knows me.) So I decided it was time to change my layout..so here it is. As much purple as I can fit into one space. Okay i can't find a freakin "graphic" thats purple so screw it. Im going to be adding more graphics cause, uh, I found this site, and it has 50 gabillion and I love them. It's an addiction, what can I say?
Okay..tonight we went to JB's and FINALLY settled on our reception menu..
Appetizers: Cheese/crackers/chopped/cut vegetables/wine/beer
Main Course: Apricot Glazed Pork Loin & Lemon Pepper Chicken on Almandine Rice
Side Items: Buttered Peas, Tossed Garden Salad, Mashed Potatoes & Gravy, Vegegtable Medley with Cheese and Southern Style Green Beans (thats a lot of vegetables...is that too many?)
Dessert: Wedding Cake (ameretto w/ raspberry filling, chocolate w/cherry filling, strawberry w/chocolate mousse filling and vanilla with banana filling)
So sound good? Are the vegetables too much? There are 50 million choices (I want mac & cheese because not only is it my favorite but it is DIVINE) by MOB says too much starch. Anyway, I gained about 900 lbs tonight having the tasting. It was fantastic. Getting married and getting free shit is the way to go, I promise. We talked to these people, well this girl who was a little older than me who waited for FOUR YEARS before her bf proposed. WHY!? My theory is, after 1 year you either know if you want to spend your life with this person or you don't. WTF are you waiting that long for? Seriously, I knew after like 2 months. And with the ex-fiancee I waited, and waited, and WAITED. For what?! Nothing. He was a douche and couldn't commit. Women need to see that. Ugh. Anyway, enough about that. She was lovely and got proposed to at Fenway Park, so that rocks. And she is having a grooms cake that looks like Fenway (Evan now wants one that looks like a golf course or a Colts cake, awesome).
What else? I don't know. Preschool is dumb, my parents ar still dumb, and Im getting the s-word (sounds like wick but with a s) and I don't have time for that. I did absolutely ZERO homework today which means there will be no nap tomorrow and I may have to hold off on tanning til friday night..SUCK Because I have a shit ton of work do. Im so lazy...No Im just REALLY GOOD at procrastinating. Ughh..off to bed I go. This cough medicine w/codeine is kicking in.
PS: Tell me why Im not a big commentor (which is why the NaBlaCoMo will be good for me) and the first time I leave a comment, I fuck it up and look retarded. Neat.

Oh just radomness
Oh so many things going on and I am in a bad mood. I should be taking a nap so at least help a little bit of the grumpy..but I will later.
Dental Update:
I went to my consult w/Dr. Tillery yesterday afternoon and I need 4-5 hours of oral surgery. So that will be fun. Because of the rather extensive periodontal work I need done, I have to be under ansesthesia, but one thing I like about the dentist (and MDs don't do this) is that they like to THROW drugs at you. They told me I could have Valium before, morphine during, and percocet after. WHOA!! Lets have surgery tomorrow. But back up. Because there are only like 3 dentists who are also licensed anthestisiologists in the state of Indiana, I have to go have a consult w/him as well, and lucky (NOT) enough for me, this guy only does 1-2 procedures, A MONTH!! So, most likely, the earliest I will get in to have my procedure done is, JULY!! Let me break this down for you. I actaully have really pretty teeth, but I also haven't been to the dentist since i was 19, because the last time I went, the dentist tore part of my gums off, my face swelled, and I bled out of my mouth for days. So now I have 4 cavities (I've never had ONE in my life) and my gums have gingivitis. As for the periodontal work, I have to have my gums packed w/tetracyclic antibiotics to help them heal but before that, the dentist has to go in and clean them. So, yeah, Im gonna want to be asleep for that. And the longer I wait, the worse it will get. I stopped driking any type of caffinated beverage (except for the occasional iced tea) back in the beginning of March when I was sick and that has helped tremendously, but the longer I wait, the worse chance I have of loosing bone in my mouth. It's not good news. So Im going to call Dr. Tillery after my consultation w/Dr. Sexton (on 5-28) if they still say they can't see me til July and see if there is anything that can be done. I was hoping to have this done b/f we go to Arkansas, but Im not seeing that as happening. Ughh, so that was a LARGE part of my bad day.
PS 1250 Update
Today we had a new girl start, which in and of itself, is not a bad thing (well besides that the PS is growing too fast, but thats okay as well). The BAD thing is that she wasn't supposed to start for 2 weeks and I wasn't prepared for her to start today. Her mom says she is potty trained (NOT EVEN CLOSE) and that she speaks English (NOT ONE WORD). And that is also fine with me, but why do people feel the need to lie about that? We accept children that aren't potty trained, they don't have to be to come to our PS (unless they are like 5, and then thats a problem) but this little girl is 2. But the mom lied and so did another teacher. This same teacher is one I have had problems with before. She is crazazy and w/o going into too much detail, she just makes me feel worthless. And she does things, maybe kind of going into it like she is being helpful, but, um, ITS NOT!! I just can't stand her and thats all there is. It's like, I want to vent, but after awhile, it just gets tiring. It's the same shit, different day. I know how to deal with my kids. So let me.
School Update
BLOWS BLOWS BLOWS BLOWS BLOWS. TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH WORK!!!! Is there any more to say?!?!?!
Okay, that is all for now. Im tired and need to take a nap so I don't tell off Ms. B tonight in class like I did last Thursday (that was neat).
PS: My parents are constantly at each other lately cause my dad is grumpy old man and my mom isn't taking it anymore, so it's kind of stressful at my house right now.
PPS: Evan planned our 1 year anniversary. We're going to Holiday World (I know, cheesy, but who cares) and he got us a room at a place called Santa's Lodge. It's a Christmas themed wood lodge like thing. Im really excited!!

I was hoping to have this done b/f we go to Arkansas, but Im not seeing that as happening. Ughh, so that was a LARGE part of my bad day.
PS 1250 Update
Today we had a new girl start, which in and of itself, is not a bad thing (well besides that the PS is growing too fast, but thats okay as well). The BAD thing is that she wasn't supposed to start for 2 weeks and I wasn't prepared for her to start today. Her mom says she is potty trained (NOT EVEN CLOSE) and that she speaks English (NOT ONE WORD). And that is also fine with me, but why do people feel the need to lie about that? We accept children that aren't potty trained, they don't have to be to come to our PS (unless they are like 5, and then thats a problem) but this little girl is 2. But the mom lied and so did another teacher. This same teacher is one I have had problems with before. She is crazazy and w/o going into too much detail, she just makes me feel worthless. And she does things, maybe kind of going into it like she is being helpful, but, um, ITS NOT!! I just can't stand her and thats all there is. It's like, I want to vent, but after awhile, it just gets tiring. It's the same shit, different day. I know how to deal with my kids. So let me.
School Update
BLOWS BLOWS BLOWS BLOWS BLOWS. TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH WORK!!!! Is there any more to say?!?!?!
Okay, that is all for now. Im tired and need to take a nap so I don't tell off Ms. B tonight in class like I did last Thursday (that was neat).
PS: My parents are constantly at each other lately cause my dad is grumpy old man and my mom isn't taking it anymore, so it's kind of stressful at my house right now.
PPS: Evan planned our 1 year anniversary. We're going to Holiday World (I know, cheesy, but who cares) and he got us a room at a place called Santa's Lodge. It's a Christmas themed wood lodge like thing. Im really excited!!

Weeds..
Seriously...have you watched this show? It's 12:40 AM and I have to get up in 4 hours and I just watched all of disk 1 season 2 and it is amazing. Mary Louise Parker? Phenomenal!! I get all these tv shows through Netflix and this is by far in my top 10. Amazing. I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow so I could watch the other disk. You need to watch this show!

Good and bad news
You know how a lot of good news is usually followed by some bad news (or a lot?) Yeah....
Good News:
1. I have good credit!
2. I can get a pretty decent home loan
3. I have no outstanding balances on my credit
4. The bill from Wishard, GONE
5. I won a $100 Shell gas card
Bad News
1. I also have FOUR cavities (I have NEVER had a cavity in my life!)
2. Evan has bad credit.
3. As of now, Evan can get a loan worth a poop.
4. I have no dental insurance...therefore the fillings and the sedation and the treatment which I'll need to fix said cavities, is gonna cost out the ass.
5. Im hearing on the news gas is only going to go up, so maybe, $100 will fill my tank.
Im an SUPER nervous about getting my teeth filled. I will have to take Ativan (which I also CANNOT afford) and Im hoping my parents wedding gift to me will be getting my teeth taken care of. I most likely won't have to have my teeth whitened, the plaque can be taken off w/a deep cleaning. Which saves me some serious money, but sedation denistry isn't cheap either. The Ativan will be for the night before, I'll have to miss a day of work (cause you can't work after sedation) and I'll have to do it on Friday so I don't miss school. The teachers can deal. I lost my shit when they told me about the cavities. I DO NOT LIKE THE DENTISTS!! I went 6 years ago and the dentist I saw literally tore out part of my gums. My face swelled and I bled on and off for 3 days, and now, 4 cavities. Nice. I know I HAVE to get it done however, so no matter the cost I will get it done. And to answer the question, yes my Wishard Advantage does cover dental, but their offices are crazazy bad and I would rather have my teeth fall out then go there. So I'll pay however many thousands of dollars it is. Okay, thats all for now. Talking about teeth grosses me out.

Im scared..
Im going to the dentist today..I haven't been since I was 19. Now don't get me wrong, I take care of my teeth, I was just traumatized last time I went and never went back. The dentist was such a dickweed. Im having a consultation and x-rays taken today and hopefully they can tell me about whitening (which Im sure cost a GAZILLION dollars.) Anyway..thats all for now..

Insurance B-L-O-W-S
Tell me why i just received a bill from Wishard Hospital for $231.75 for outpatient laboratory work?!?!?! I did get blood work done at my DOCTORS OFFICE but I have never been charged for any type of testing that needed to be done. I am currently using the state's insurance and I know FOR A FACT that lab work is covered. I also like how the letter said that Im not covered by my insurance when I KNOW that I am. I just used it to see the doctor on the 23rd of April...and OF COURSE there is NO ONE that can speak to me at the insurance office or the hospital. TRUST I will be calling at 8AM! This is ridiculous!! Im so irked!
Party Hats...
Do you see the party hat on my sidebar? You should definitely go here http://stirrup-queens.blogspot.com/2008/05/nacomleavmo.html (and no, I can't figure out how to get my stupid links to work) because it is a fantastic idea.
For those of you who are (maybe) reading my blog..Im pretty random. Right now, my blog focuses on work (a preschool), education (studying to get my CMA and then my BSN) and my upcoming wedding (10-04-08). It can be quite profanity laden (and I apologize, sometimes) and I am also worried (consumed) by the fact that Im 25, have had 1 miscarriage already and have had trouble w/periods my whole life. I worry that biological children aren't in my future. So Im kind of all over the board. Please say hi and let me know you're reading..
The above link has kind of been a lifesaver. When I miscarried, there was no support, the father of the baby didn't even know I was pregnant, no one did. So I did it by myself, and I've missed her every day since then. I don't dwell on it constantly because part of my feels like maybe, it was the right thing to happen at that time. I was young, in college, and most likely not completely ready to be a parent. But I loved her anyway. Now that I see that there are a lot of women like me, of all ages, I feel a sort of connection (although sometimes I feel like a fraud because I haven't been through all the testing, cycle charting, shots, pills, doctors office visits, and recurrent miscarriages) but I know the pain of loosing a baby..Even one that was unexpected. I read some of the blogs listed on the blogroll daily and have never left a comment because of the above mentioned reason. Now, I feel like I have "permission" to do so and not to be judged...Thank you for that.
Okay..it's 5AM (no idea why Im up before the alarm clock) and I need to start getting ready..

Almost wedding bells and an update
Wedding Update: Today it is 5 MONTHS until we get married!! Seriously, there is still SOOOO much to do and time is just flying by. I didn't realize we were this close. Im super excited. Yesterday Bethany and I (and Jade & Cheryl & my mom) went to the bridal store and she got her dress (and she was an OFF THE RACK size, Im so jealous) and she looks hot! Honestly, she looks fantastic. And then I paid off Angel's remaning balance ($25 to get the dress ordered) and Lindsey has paid hers completely off and Bethany paid over her half to get her's paid off. So all the dresses will be ordered on Monday, FINALLY!! And the store said we should get them by late July early August which is plenty of time for alterations (which everyone will need). I re-tried on my dress and it needs alterations is the bust and bodice area (cause I've lost weight, yay!!) And I tried it on with the veil, shoes, and tiara/crown thing and it was FANTASTIC! I love it! Also on the wedding front, I had a cake tasting at Taylor's Bakery last Saturday, and I thought the vanilla cake was super good, but the icing was SOOO thick and they only do 3 flavors, vanilla, chocolate and marble. So I don't think we will be using them (not to mention, a 5 tier cake was $1350 and a 4 tier was almost $1000). So I also met with Beth from Icing on the Cake (whom we loved at the bridal show in January, she was the maker of the ameretto cake). The only problem is, she doesn't return phone calls in a timely manner and seemed really busy the Saturday that we (MOH and I) saw her. She also runs her own scrabooking thing and a B&B. She didn't have any cake ready for us and it just seemed like we were really rushed. I am picking up cake samples from her on Wednesday (ameretto w/raspberry filling, banana w/vanilla filling, and chocolate fudge w/strawberry filling). So hopefully it's good and we can have an actual meeting and discuss pricing etc. We (my mom, Cheryl, Jade & I) are actually going to a bridal show this afternoon so maybe we can finally sign a dj contract (which we need) and taste some more cake and get all kinds of free stuff!! Yay!!
School update: Apparently I owe the school about $1100. Ooops, gues thats what missing a few payments will do. Supposedly my bill was supposed to go down in April, but Im not thinking that happened. I need to go talk to financial aid on Monday. I plan on paying them about $300 next week and then $200 the week after that. I have to have it paid down to half my the end of June in order to register for my classes. I think I can get it down further then that by the end of June. I continue getting Patho & Pharm mixed up, but only in so much as who is in which class. Well thats not true, I get A LOT of it mixed up, but so does everyone else taking those 2 classes, so I dont feel so bad. I love how my pharm teacher assigns homework like that is the ONLY class we are taking. And we are doing about 4 chapters a week. And this IS NOT easy stuff to cram into 2 classes a week. I have 3 exams Monday, 1 Tuesday, 1 Wednesday, and 1 Thursday. Next week is gonna be neat. Hopefully ( and I am praying for this) IBC offeres Clin II in the evening next quarter is preschool is gonna be pissed cause I ABSOLUTELY have to take it next quarter to graduate on ti...wait, Im not graduating on time..to graduate by December. Either way, whenever, wherever they are offering it, I WILL be taking it. Then I can start my extern. And I think Im gonna try and extern w/Dr. Jill Stanton and her RN Andrea. She used to be my doctor and she was pretty great and she does OB so that fits perfectly. If not, I can extern with my current phyiscian since she offered me a job last time I was in there to be seen. More on that later.
Health Update: I can FINALLY eat a little more normally, but I still get random nausea and times when eating doesn't work out. I went to the doctor over a week ago and the new MA's were HORRIBLE. Extremely unprofessional, didn't know how to do basic tasks, like BP/height/weight/pulse/taking a history/they were SUPER nosey etc. So I told her MA's were bad and we talked about how I knew how MA's should be and I told her about going to IBC and she offered me a job. LOL!! I need to call that lady and see if she will hire me before I graduate. The only thing I can't do is injections and draw blood. And that they can teach me at the job. Anyway, she ran LFT's, and a gastro blood culture and EVERYTHING was NORMAL. Im like, umm except not. At least everything is working correctly. But, it took them 6 DAYS to get back to me and I called every day from the first day they said the results would be back. I had to end up calling the office manager to get my prescription called in and my test results. I told her it was super unprofessional, and she agreed. Thanks for that lady, if you agree, tell your staff to get their stuff together. I was also started on progesterone because I haven't had a period since January and there is no chance Im pregnant. I've been on it for 8 days starting today and I still havent started my period. Im having cramps, bbs hurt and the zits are super special. I don't know what the deal is, but it worries me. If this doesn't work, Im gonna have her put me on prometrium, it's only 5 days and you usually start after day 3. I don't know what Im gonna do if it doesn't start after that. It CONSUMES me that this is how I have children, and that part of my body doesn't work. Im only 25. Granted, the doctor said it could take a year after the birth control (which is November) for things to be back to normal, but I had 3 normal periods in a row and now, nothing. I really am worried and I don't want there to be problems. Plus I shouldn't let it worry me since they don't refer you to a fertility specialist until you've been actively trying for a year, which won't happen until October. Still I worry.
Random Update: Yesterday, after the bridal store, Beth, Jade & I went to the mall and I sure did spend about $200. Beth made me buy 6 new shirts. I promise she did. Also got some Proactiv clay mask for my face which dries out the zits and realized that I need to just buy the stuff in the store because with shipping costs, the price of my kit is gonna go WAAAAY up. I think I paid upwards of $7.00 last month. I also bought Jade & I lunch and dinner, she got a disney cool cup and I got one for Moo, I also bought some Yankee Candle tarts cause Bethy made me. It was just a fun day.
Okay, I think that is all for now. Evan is WONDERFUL as always and I will be seeing him today. Hopefully I can update more often so I don't have posts as long as War & Peace, but I'll have to find the time first.
