5 Vials of Blood & Other Stuff

Ok, now that the weekend and the fallout after it is written up, we can move on.  I'm typing on a new laptop and the keyboard is waaaaay bigger than  my other one, so if something accidentally gets through my impeccable spelling skills, I'm gonna blame it on this stupid thing. I hate it, but I'm far too lazy to fix the other one right now.

Anywho, they took 5 vials of blood on Tuesday afternoon and I got the results back yesterday.  Why do I have all those bruises?  Drum roll please................  There is NOTHING wrong with me.  Well hell, ok then.  I'm a little pissed I wasted $25 on a copay just to have nothing wrong.... They could have at least told me I had the plague or something.  In any case, they're slowly going away.  Tara took pictures of them and is showing them to everyone along with the pictures she managed to snap when I was asking her if I had them on my chest and back.  God love her.  She's showing coworkers semi-nude shots of me on "accident"... Fabulous.

As far as what was going on with my mom, well she had her own little bit of nothing wrong too.  She was rushed by ambulance last week from her doctor to the hospital because she had been having chest pains for a week.  They admitted her for observation that day and she flipped out thinking she was dying or something.  They ended up doing a heart catheritization (I know I didn't spell that right, but spell check isn't helping me out) and found nothing wrong.  Those of you who have never been around someone who has had this procedure, consider yourself lucky.  My stepdad almost bled to death on Christmas Eve one year in front of my kids because he moved the wrong way after one.  Blood on the walls and ceiling does not make Santa happy.

Turns out, awhile back, my niece was about to fall down the stairs and when my mom went to grab her, she smashed her chest on the banister.  She cracked like 4 ribs in the incident and apparently there was some other damage nobody took the time to look at.  When she was shoveling all the heavy wet snow, she tore a muscle right over the old injury.  Case closed, she's good to go besides being all bruised up from the heart cath.

What else?  This computer is really pissing me off.  The touchpad is level with the computer so I keep hitting it, but the program to turn it off isn't installed and I can't get it to download online.  Gay. Gay. Gay.....

Tonight Tara and I are hosting happy hour at the local watering hole.  A whole bunch of people from work and all of our friends are going up.  I have to make sure she doesn't have more than a couple of beers because after we're done there, we're meeting up with Mike and going over to Tattoo Guy's studio so Tara can get a new tattoo.  THAT should be interesting....

Speaking of Tattoo Guy, I saw him last night.  He stopped by last night after work for what was supposed to be just a minute.  I don't know what just a minute is in his world, but 2:30am is not just a minute....  Oh well good thing I don't have a whole lot going on at work today.  I just managed to crash this computer, so I'm two for two today, but I got the damn touchpad turned off.  Stupid thing.

For Curious, this is Tara and Mike

As for a pic of me & Tattoo, well, here ya go.... It's not great, but it's all I've got right now.  Personally, I like this one better because there are no boys in it....

This one right here makes me laugh.  There's so much going on in it that it just cracks me up every time I look at it.  Especially  Tara and Eric in the background.  I mean, did he goose her and she's repulsed?  I have no idea, but it's good shit.

We're retarded, what can I say?  

Oh yeah, I guess I forgot to mention the haircut.  I was bored last week and unlike my friends who get tattoos and pierce holes in their bodies, I'll usually just get something done to my hair.  This time it's bangs and a little shorter.  I'm still trying to decide if I like it or not.  I colored it too.  I was going to be different and go majorly lighter and what you see above is supposed to be "Butternut Blond". Uhh.... ok.  It doesn't even look like I did anything to it.  Oh well.  Maybe next time.

I guess that's all I've got for today.  Everyone have a good rest of your day and I'm off to read your blogs now :)
