Yesterday the majority of our day was spent at a friend’s house playing the Wii for way too long! After sitting on a couch for that long, I was in extremely excruciating pain last night. I was sitting at the computer and my back was hurting so bad that I just wanted to cry. I ended up plopping myself into bed before midnight (on a Saturday, for cryin’ out loud!) and sleeping pretty restlessly all night. Not a good sleeping experience :(
So I am up today and my mission is to be as active as I can be without hurting my back too bad. There are tree limbs in the backyard I need to pick up and I need to weedeat while Gene mows. I may buy some soil and flowers because our brick mailbox has a little enclosed planter type thing that is attached to it. I’d like to put some perdy flowers in it :D Oh my dear domestication.
Anyway, I am going to motivate Gene to hurry up and get dressed. We’re going to Home Depot to walk around and look at stuff. I need to go in search of Nelson. Even though I am extremely weary of spending upwords of $70 on a sprinkler for my yard, after reading the reviews I am pretty much sold. If I can’t find him in store I will be making the purchase via Amazon.com :) Gene and I really need to save money right now because there are a lot of “big” purchases in our near future but I also want to take care of my lawn and try to get it back to lookin’ nice.
Two more things before I go… I changed my domain to nerdwagon.org :D I always wanted .org because years ago I owned nerdwagon.org – I let it expire and some losers bought it after that. Well, it’s mine again! Nerdwagon.net is expired so change your bookmarks if you feel so inclined to do so! And the second thing is that yesterday morning Gene and I bought our The Cure tickets for Dallas. So it’s official, we have gone mad and spent $150 on concert tickets. We’re planning on staying in Dallas for a total of 5 nights. The things first on my list to do are Lush and Ikea. I really wanted to go to Medievil Times because it sounds like soooo much fun but there are no shows during the week we’ll be there. It’s ok.. Maybe we can make a special trip up there sometime to go.

Today Gene and I went to the Relax The Back store in the city to check out mattress toppers and back support cushions for my computer chair. We ended up buying one of the (extremely expensive) back support cushions. I’m sitting with it right now and it is making a HUGE difference for me. I would have been shifting around and in all kinds of pain at least 45 minutes ago but I am actually pretty comfortable as of right now. The mattress pads started at $495 for a Queen size, so we walked away from those pretty easily. You pretty much have to be a kajillionaire to afford anything in that store :( In my dream world, I would have a tempurpedic bed. But those cost around$3-4,000 for a queen size. And I’m sorry but I’d totally rather have an LCD HDTV right now :D
Not much else happened. We looked at LCD tvs at Circuit City, we shopped around Target for a while, we came home and have been glued to our respective computers since. I am pretty sleepy because we went swimming this afternoon for a little over an hour and that pretty much kicked me in the butt. Swimming can really take it out of you, that’s for sure!
Tomorrow is a day of going NOWHERE. I plan to play with the dogs outside and let them get as dirty as they possibly can and then it is bath time for them. I need to apply their K9 Advantix stuff and I always like to give them baths before I do that. I also would like to pick up some more sticks in the yard and put them in the dumpsters. And maybe do a little cleaning and tidying up around the house. I’m not going to over-do it or anything but those are the things on my list to accomplish. The dogs are a priority, though. I want it to be as much of a relaxing day as possible.
Got a pretty good sized lump where my allergy shot was given today. I don’t know if I ever mentioned it or not but I got at least a month behind on allergy shots back in late May. With all of the house buying stuff, moving and then our quarterly billing time at work I just had absolutely no time to go get an allergy shot. All I can say about that is that I will be officially caught up as of this Friday and I will try my damnedest to never get behind again. It has been hell!
I go back to the allergy clinic for my follow up in mid August and I think they may have to start giving me half of my extracts in each arm. A week or two ago I came home with a knot in my arm the size of a tennis ball! I am NOT exaggerating here. And today it is about the size of a golf ball. But it’s not just a knot, it is an itchy, irritated and sore lump. It hurts to even move my arm. Now, I know it’s not deadly pain but I really don’t want to have to feel like this every single week :( I’ll just have to talk to them when I go back in August.
Dad came over tonight and installed a motion sensor porch light on our front porch. I am sooo happy to finally have one of these! We put a light bulb in the porch light when we first moved in but we can hardly ever remember to turn the light on when we leave and it is still light out. Now we are worry-free! Hah.. Modern day technology is the bomb :) What would we do without it???
The only other real news is that at the end of this month we will be attending D-Fest! I am sooo excited. And also, Gene and I have pretty much made the decision to splurge with our money by purchasing tickets to see The Cure in either Houston or Dallas, Texas. I am really excited and can’t wait until Tickets go on sale :) We are going to make it into a little vacay since we never got one this year. I’ve already decided that I may take off an entire week of work if I am able. Not sure how many great things there are to do in Texas in October but we’ll find something :) Just being away is awesome enough as it is!

Gene is making me breakfast right now. I woke up starving. I really, really hate when I wake up that way. I’m not sure what we are going to do today but I’m hoping to get out of the house for a little while. I don’t necessarily want to spend the whole day out but I’d like to run to a few stores and just get out of here for a bit. Need to do some walkin’, even if it is in a nice air conditioned store. Oh and my breakfast? Two Special K Eggo Waffles with White Chocolate Peanut Butter on top :)
I got this purse from Ross a couple of weeks ago and I think I’m going to take it back today. It’s a Harajuku Lovers purse. I don’t know if anyone has heard of that but Gwen Stefani’s Asian sexy dancer girls are called her Harajuku Girls. Harajuku is a place in Japan, the place where these girls are from. The purse is seriously ADORABLE. It has oranges on it with little crowns and faces and says “I’m just an Orange County girl” – adorable. And I always fall head over heels in love with CUTE things. But I realize now that $40 for a purse from ROSS is not a good buy. If you look at the purses on their website, you will see that $40 actually IS a good buy. But I know that was a pretty big sum of money thrown down the drain for a PURSE. It’s goin’ back, ’nuff said.
Gene and I had our housewarming party yesterday and it was great. I was soo happy to see everyone. I served up 2 cheese balls, sausage balls, a veggie tray, homemade egg rolls, whole wheat chocolate chip cookies and whole wheat snicker doodle cookies. Almost all of the food was gone when the last person left and I couldn’t believe it. I rolled nearly 50 egg rolls! And I made a double batch of sausage balls. And I made TWO of the cheese balls. Anyway, it was a great turn out and I didn’t feel like as much of a loser as I usually do, haha. It was just really great to see some people that I haven’t seen in such a long time.
My mom gave us a $100 gift card to Home Depot. A family friend of ours gave us $50 gift card to Kohl’s. Malinda gave us this ADORABLE coaster set. It has a little holder that spins around that holds 4 glass coasters, in which you can put PICTURES into. And they also have little metal stands on the back so they also function as picture frames. There is no other word to describe these than GENIUS. And cute. And Malinda’s mom gave me a Swiffer Duster! I have the Pledge Duster and I don’t like it as much as I used to so I’m excited to try out the Swiffer one. V gave me a $20 gift card to Barnes & Noble, which is awesome because I love B&N! I’m definitely going to buy a cookbook or two with it. And in all of this, I really mean “us” since it is Gene and I’s house. But… ya know :D Oh and the family friend who brought the Kohl’s GC also brought a CUTE basket with 2 jars of homemade salsa and a bag of chips. Totally awesome!
Man it has been a while since I’ve last posted, this one is going to be long. Sorry about this people. I’m also extremely anal and I don’t personally like to use the “More” feature so I’m typing it all up in one entry. Anyway, the only latest developments with me are health related and they aren’t really good, at all. The first thing is that I got fitted for my customer brace the first week in May and the Insurance has declined coverage on it, saying it is “Not medically necessary” so now I’ve got a few people fighting it with appeals, trying to get some coverage. The damn thing costs around $1,600, so yes I would like some insurance coverage here!
Next would be my back. I’ve been in horrendous pain ever since we moved. I guess I pushed myself too hard and I’ve BEEN pushing myself too hard to do things around the house. I went to the Chiropractor for a couple of weeks and he got the pain down to where it was bearable and I could at least walk. But it hasn’t gone away and I can’t justify paying the Chiropractor $50 for 10-15 minutes of his back-crackin’ time anymore. So I went to the doctor on Thursday, I got a script for a steroid pack and an anti-inflammatory. It has felt slightly better since and I’ve been getting a little more sleep than before, which is good. I’m going in for an MRI tomorrow morning. Another MRI! This will be the 3rd MRI I’ve had since last July and I’m sure those people have got to be wondering if anything else could happen to me, as do I.
One more thing about the housewarming party, since my thoughts are extremely scattered right now; I feel like it totally officiated us as homeowners now and I feel ready to start the Wedding Planning Nightmare Journey. Anyway, I’m gonna eat my breakfast and maybe get ready to go out. I wanna do some shopping!
