I have to record this because this rarely happens! My best friend April and I had a fight on Wednesday February 10 2016! The last time we had a fight was in high school. That was a long ago. We NEVER fight and that is just one of the many things I like about April.

This why we fought it’s dumb but I was upset. April and I have wanted to Skype and finally I said let’s chat at ten in the morning. So I get up early do my stuff and be on the computer by ten and no April till way later. I was upset that I had to wait. Basically a miss understanding she missed I said ten. So I got mad because as you know I really, really hate waiting for people and I don’t like when people have to wait for me.

But in reality I was not just mad about waiting on Wednesday. I was mad because I put aside time to chat with her at night and she would not be on or be too busy to chat. Then I would feel like an idiot because I am sitting in my office at night with nothing to do because I did it all during the day. Night time I like to watch my shows but I can’t do both. I can’t really chat and watch TV at the same time. The one thing I can’t multitask that well.

I thought we were good after our fight on the internet. Apparently not it went into the next day. Wow we really fought! Feelings hurt to making up. I hope we don’t fight again for a long time.  I have to be better to just tell her that she is making me mad but she has to be better at managing time. Which I can see be hard for the both of us but we can do it.

Saturday February 7 2016 was an interesting day. Elena and Ken came over and they brought their dog Katie

She was so cute! Koko and Scotty were really good with her. It only took an half hour till Katie felt right at home. The other dogs sniffed her but then was like ‘okay’. It was funny. Every melded together to so well. Which is good for future reference for the both of us. If Elena or Ken or us wanted to go out of town we could watch each others dogs.

The reason they came over is because of our dryer. That dryer has been nothing but a pain! We had a remember man come out to look at because it was taking too long to dry clothes. It’s brand new! He said it wasn’t our dryer but the pipe was clog and he doesn’t do that. Found out we had the flex kind of pipe. Bad. Very bad to have that because they are flammable!

So they came over and while Elena and I talked. We played with the dogs. Ken and Jeff switched out the pipes. Now we have a hard pipe and our dryer works!

After that Jeff made spaghetti. However Jeff had one of those glass bowls on the stove and accidentally heated it up. It shatter in a million pieces! It was all over the place and clean up took a bit. We still had spaghetti and it was yummy.

Will this ever end?

 February first was a nice sunny day.

Scotty enjoyed it.

February second was not a nice sunny day! Storm Bucky came by. Sort of funny the storm was named Bucky and I live in the badger state. How ironic.

Well I am ready for spring. My friend in Russia informed me that in twenty fives days they will have spring. Spring here doesn’t happen to till March 19. I am so jealous.

I dislike winter and yet I still live in Wisconsin. However winter can be pretty check these pictures that Jeff took.

The first one is my favorite. The second one Jeff likes it because of the trees covered in snow. I admit they are pretty.

Winter can also be scary! It snowed over the and we have a metal roof. Check what snow looks like when it piles on a metal roof and freezes while sliding off. The icicles look like little daggers.

In other news, last Friday I went to get another ultrasound done. Guess what nothing has changed. I have to go again after my birthday in March. The doctor I have is nice but also a bragger. I dislike braggers because I really don’t care. I think it’s okay to brag sometimes but all the time it isn’t. Anyways I do think he is a good doctor just tone down the bragging.

Blog I admit I am being lazy. I was going to write a Monday blog post but didn’t. Literally taken all week to write Friday’s and to add more to Monday’s since I skipped.

So let’s play catch up.

Friday January 22 2016 I had dental surgery done. It wasn’t too bad and I got stitches which later I ate. Yes I ate a couple of my stitches and one fell out. No biggie because there was no bleeding from not having stitches in there. It still feels a little swollen but nothing I can’t handle. They gave me some antibiotics which helps.

Sunday we celebrated my dad’s birthday he turned sixty one. It was fun with just Jeff and I and my parents. My dad had ice cream cake from Dairy Queen and Jeff made chili. It was a yummy day! I made a Green Bay Packer’s blanket.

On Monday our dryer was making a funny noise and stopped working. Sigh. So Jeff being a handy man he is decided to take our dryer apart to see the problem. Couldn’t find it. Since we got the dryer from a second hand store they weren’t going to fix it. We got our washing machine from Lowe’s. So we ordered the matching dryer online they are supposed to come and take the dryer and replace it. Didn’t have any dryers in stock, they gave us our money back. Jeff called everywhere and no one had a dryer except Menard’s in Appleton. They had one left. Jeff took Tuesday off and we got our dryer which took basically all day to do. Getting it, then putting it together, taking out the old one, putting in the new one. We got a Maytag which doesn’t match our washer which is a Hotpoint but now we can do laundry.

It is time!

It is time to get another implant done. Today I will be going for surgery for my second screw in my jaw. I am not nervous because I know what is going on. Still hate shots in my mouth though and waiting for my mouth to be numb. I hope this time I get a nicer assistant the last one had zero personality and was a little rude. Maybe she needed coffee? Who knows. Coffee can makes people happy it makes me happy.

I am hoping that is all I get done with year. I hope my other teeth do not hurt and have to be pulled out because this will mean a full set of teeth on the left side of my mouth. I am excited for it and be able to chew food properly.

Since not a lot to talk about that lets go to my arm and wrist. It still hurts and funny Jeff asked yesterday if my arm still hurt because I stop complaining about it. I told him I am sick of talking about it. Funny! Yes it still hurts and I still can’t straighten my arm or lift it very high. I get to the point of hurt and stop talking about it because I get bored of saying it still hurts. What else can I say? It hurts everyday and complain it hurts everyday? Boring! It’s going to take some time to heal.

This weekend we are celebrating my dad’s sixty first birthday! I am still making a blanket for him. I have to go slow because of my arm but I will get it done by Sunday I am determined.

On Thursday January 14 2016 I get up in the morning and the new routine is get up let dogs out go start car. Every other week I go grocery shopping in the morning and leave when Jeff’s does. So the car was outside. I get out there start and slip and fell hard!

I get up go inside then cry. It hurt so badly and I didn’t think it was that icy outside. I ended up going to the ER and spent a little over two hours there. It’s always a gamble going to the ER on doctors. The one I saw wasn’t the greatest. I always say I got the C student doctor.

Anyways they took x-rays and nothing broken which is good. However I have a sprained wrist and sprained elbow. It’s so painful! And they gave me no pain killers which sucks. Was hoping for some good stuff. The next day I found out I pulled a lot of muscles near my hip. That didn’t hurt the day I did it. So I am in the world of pain right now.

I can’t do a lot of things which also sucks. I can’t lift up my arm very high because all the muscles are sprained and bruised. I am a side sleeper and love sleeping on my left side but can’t because that is the side I hurt everything. The only good thing is I am right handed good thing wasn’t that side.

Jeff has been wonderful helping me! He is such a great husband. I don’t even have to ask him he just helps me out.

I hoping that my arm heals fast and everything else too. I don’t like being helpless and I don’t really like taking pain pills either.

This year I decided I am going to work on two things about me that I would like to change about my personality.

The first thing I would like to change is the way I act when I am hungry. When I get really hungry I become a whiny bitch! I get really crappy and lash out. I would like to change this about myself so I am more of a pleasant hungry person. It’s going to take some time but I am going to try. Instead of “feed me now!” I would be like to say “I am hungry can we eat? Or I am hungry I am going to make us…”

The second thing I would like to change is how romantic I am. I am not but I would like to be. I want to be more hands on and think more romantic. Jeff is and I want to be more like him. I think that one is hard because I do not think that way. I know Jeff likes me how am I but I want to change myself.

Now for funny. Okay here is the thing. I started to get Glamour magazine and I didn’t pay for it. Someone signed me up for it and I have no idea who. I find that magazine to be hilarious. Why? It supposedly be how all women think about clothes, guys, sex, their bodies etc. I find it funny because most of it I do not think that way. A lot of it is about guys and I am married. Definitely not geared to the married lady. So it’s really funny to me. Thank you anonymous person for this magazine makes my day of funny.

So there has been a lot going on and a lot to say in this post.

First I would like to rewind to last year. Sort of strange to say last year already. December 29 2015 was crazy! Jeff wasn’t feeling the greatest and it was the day that he had off of work. We were being lazy in the morning when my mom called to ask if we could drive Adam to the Milwaukee airport.

Let me tell you from our house to my mom’s house is about forty five minutes. From our house to Milwaukee is over two hours. At first I am like I don’t know then she hung up on me. What I didn’t know is my dad was in the hospital.

My dad has been having horrible pain in his intestines. Found out he had some of his intestines blocked with a hernia. Late the night before he went to the emergency room and they kept him over night. Now my dad was in the hospital the week before with the same problem and they told him that they couldn’t do surgery till he lost weight and sent him home with not even pain pills. He was in a lot of pain.

Adam calls me all in a panic. Telling me that no one will help them and dad’s car is stuck in the snow. He started to be Adam and cry on the phone. I told him to stop and we are coming down and I hung up on him. Jeff and I got in the car and started to drive to mom’s house. Half way there Adam calls us tell us to meet them at the hospital. The good thing is we got to see my dad. Didn’t know if he would have surgery or not. Later that night he had to have surgery. Now he is home from the hospital doing well.

Spent some time with him and then got in the car to drive Adam to Milwaukee. Basically spent all day in our car. I hate driving to Milwaukee so much. Granted it is all highway but I still hate driving there. It was nice to see Adam off. However I am mad at my siblings and writing it makes me feel better about it. They did nothing. My mom does a lot for them even more then us especially my sister. My sister decided her friend was more important than mom and dad. That really pissed me off the most!

I would never trust my life with them. I’d probably die before they came to help me. I have to remember that for the future. I am being serious. April and I always say when are parents die our siblings will no longer be part of our family. I totally believe that. I am just glad April and I can vent to each other about our families because they are similar. It’s strange how that is.

Fun things now.

I wanted to share what I made Adam for Christmas it was a hit. Remember I say I only make things that people appreciate. I made Adam the Ghostbuster symbol cross stitch. I got the pattern on Pinterest. It was free. On Pinterest they did it on white fabric I did it on black to make it pop. Then Jeff made the frame and painted it. It was so cool and everyone was amazed by it.

I got steak! You know I love steak so much. If I was on a desert island and could only eat one thing it would be steak. Jeff made steak last Saturday. Check out steak:

My friend Helen sent me some cool New Year presents. In Russia they do not celebrate Christmas they celebrate the New Year.

Look:

I got a lot of yummy tea and chocolate! Look at how cute that cat is. It’s so adorable and the calendar in Russian. It’s very cool. I like everything.

On Sunday January 3, 2016 I hit my goal of not have soda for a whole year! Three hundred and sixty five days soda free. I decided that I am an addicted to the sugary syrup bubbly drink. If I would have some I would keep drinking it. I don’t need it and it doesn’t make me feel well. For the rest of my life I will not drink soda again.

I am really proud of myself for not drinking it.
