Posts Tagged ‘Allergies & Eye Drops’

Spring is here!!

Finally all the snow has melted!
It’s starting to feel like spring.
My allergies concur.

Earlier this week was spent hunting for sinus med’s & eye drops to aide my tear ducts that no longer produce tears (due to previous brain surgeries’)…
Most recently (that I’ve heard) Fergie summed it up- Big Girls Don’t Cry.
Or, well, this bionic Amazon won’t be shedding a tear anytime soon.
I imagine with all the shit my surgeons put in my head I’d rust up like the tin man.

Spring Cleaning-
My room doesn’t even look the same.
All of my saved concert tickets are put away in a box.
Random obsessions and nic-nacs I’ve accumulated over the years are boxed up in the attic.
My walls are rather bare compared to before.
I just wanted one spot in the house where I can get away from all the clutter in my life.
I’ve been pretty good with the New Year’s Resolution of not putting up walls to keep people out of , but I did paint a brick mural in my room recently, hope that doesn’t count!
My closet is now completely cleared of all confusion… I mean oversized clothes I just HAD to have while my body was doing it shrinking woman stint post surgeries in 2008.
Who knew brain surgery could shrink my waist?!
I’ve turned the page am all about quality of things in life, not quantity… ECSPECIALLY IN MY CLOSET!

St. Patty’s Day-
If you were at the bar that morning looking for me, it would have been like Where’s Waldo…. But I would have been no where to be found.
Actually the morning of St Patty’s I was sleeping in the chair at the dentist office while having my teeth cleaned.
Yes, sound asleep.
My cousin told me after for next time they have blankets… just what need?!
With my luck I’d nap have the day away like the time Erin woke me up an hour after the tanning bed shut off and I decided to keep napping while I was in the buff… Oops!?!

Lepracan’s for Dinner-
With my fresh pearly whites and in my bright green coat I went out for dinner green beer with the Rent’s.
They were so cute because my mom has never had green beer.
She sign- “OMG I’m so old, but let’s do a beer run next year. (By beer run, she meant pub crawl).
Dinner was yummy!
Biggest surprise of the evening was the green beer gave me green teeth.
A simple fix of just brushing my teeth, but this is the last year I’m drinking green beer.

Kiss Me My Sister Married Irish!

Next year we'll do a beer run! -Mom

March Madness-
I was in AA yesterday for… ugh I sound like an alcoholic saying AA after St. Patty’s!? LET’S MOVE ON!
In Ann Arbor yesterday for my post shunt surgery appointment.
CT scans of my brain look good.
The fluid is draining from my head, so simply put the shunt is doing its job and my surgeons kick ass.
This is where I would tell you the good stuff planned to come from what I learned at the appointment, but instead there’s a big “TO BE CONTINUED….”, just like the cliff hanger endings to leave you in suspense.
Completely serious, and the shitty thing about is that it’s a cliffhanger for me too.
Upside to the medical cliffhanger this month is March Maddness!!!! Nothing better than
Even though I am U of M property (I’ve got the scars to prove it too!!), I’m routing for State all the way!! GO GREEN!!!

Oh, hello Detroit-
After my appointment we brought my cousin Erica in Detroit her baby shower gifts (she’s on bed rest. read the last post understand where the shower gifts came from.).
I don’t remember the drive from AA to Detroit…
As soon as we got in the car I crashed…
In the backseat I crashed and let my mom and aunt do their thing…
Then I wake up and TA-DAH!?
What’s up, I’m on the other side of my Michigan Mitten!
Who cares about the other gift’s my cousin scored from the shower (I mean I’m sure they are nice things, but that isn’t the point I’m trying to get at.), she really liked the gift from me!!
I got her a Sign Language book for the baby!!!
She liked the book!
…and it made me feel a little closer to her, because these were just a few little signs she would learn too.
(This is where I would totally do the chick thing and start to cry…. If only my bastard tear ducts worked…. Eh, I’ll just let an eye drop fall on my cheek and call it a good!).

TGIF-
Dude, I do kind of miss the TGIF line-up on ABC!?
Full House… *sigh*
Perfect Strangers… *double sigh*
Dinosaurs… *HAHAHAHA! Ear to ear smile*
…I’m having a nostalgic moment, please stay tuned….
Welcome back to 2010!
Even though I didn’t get back to the west side of the Michigan Mitten till late last night, On top of that running back out to get organic milk and egg to feed my asparagus omelet kick I’ve been having this week I was awake before with the birds.
Paired with my asparagus omelet was what I like to call my Green Sludge Garden Smoothie.
Don’t ask what exactly the smoothie consists of, because I honestly couldn’t tell you.
Little bit of this… little bit of that… whatever vegetables & fruits are at my disposal, and there you have a Green Sludge Garden Smoothie.
The glass that my smoothie was in best sums up, because once I drink it I feel like the Incredible Hulk…. Only a more ADD version… The Incredibly ADD Jolly Green Giant??
Let’s just leave as this- I love my veggies!!! ♥

Green Sludge Garden Smoothie

Snack time one of my pea snaps fell out of the container, and he had a face.
Well he had a spot where a face would be if pea snaps had faces, so I drew one on and named him Louie.
He’s been hanging out on my laptop all afternoon.

Louie The pea snap with a face

Time bid you all bid adieu.
Someone brought home some Girl Scout Cookies, and I’m certain they won’t make it through the weekend!

PS- Doctor’s appointment next week for my throat, be sure to stay tuned! xoxo

Peace, Love Rock on!
