BIG MISTAKE

Well, as many of you know, I've been a bit under the weather with a head cold. No bigee except it just drives me nuts!!!! I started taking a daytime/nighttime cold medicine. It worked okay except the nighttime stuff made me loopy as all get out. Anne Marie has just gotten over a sinus infection and told me that Musinex D really helped her a lot!!! (She actually borrowed the first couple of doses from me and my medicine drawer). So I took some yesterday morning and it really opened up my sinus' so last night I took a second dose (every 12 hours) before bedtime. BIG MISTAKE!!!!!! I was soooooo wired that I was on Facebook at 2am. I finally dosed off around 4am and was wide awake at 7:45am. (NOT too much sleep there). Anyhow, just thought I'd warn you that if you take Musinex D, you might want to NOT take it at night. (Unless of course, you like being on your computer around 2am) I think tonight I'll just try sleeping with a stuffed up nose!!!!!

WAAAAAY Behind!

Okay, so I'm way behind and out of date (well duh!!) I've just gotten on Facebook and I think it's a really cool way to keep up with friends you don't hear from or haven't heard from in a long time. I've already had several friends "add me as their friend" that I haven't seen or heard from in eons! Cooooool!!! Anyway, just a small blurp about how I really enjoy keeping up with my friends from now and way back!!

Sad!

We received a phone call this afternoon that an old friend, Reed Bowman, had passed away. It makes you think about how short life really is. I remember when Brandon and Lauren turned two. Brandon came to Lauren's birthday party. It seems like only yesterday. We're never promised tomorrow and should live each day as if it were our last. The happy part of all of this is that Reed was saved and we all know where he is today. My heart goes out to his family and I know he'll be missed terribly!

Is it Friday Yet????

Wow! What a week. Is it Friday yet???? I've been in surgery every day this week. Tuesday we traveled to Birmingham for surgery, Sandy Springs today, Stockbridge tomorrow, Lawrenceville on Friday and then, back on the loop again next week. I'm getting old and I need to RETIRE!!! Also, to make things worse this week, I decided to move my office from the bonus room to downstairs and Danny's office from downstairs to the upstairs bonus room. What a trip! You should have seen me pushing and pulling all that furniture up and down the steps! It was quite comical. It's a wonder I can even move!!!!! The good part is the heavy stuff is done. The bad part is that as I'm moving things, I find more things to move. Oh well, in a hundred years it won't make a difference anyway. I'm off to bed so I can get up at O'dark thirty and do it all again! Heeeeee Haaaaaaaw!

Kim's Baby Shower

We gave my friend Kim (from work) a baby shower on Friday after a loooooong surgery day! I can't believe she only has about a month left until her little one comes. Is she going to find out what she's having??? Of COURSE NOT!!!! I can't wait to see what "Baby Grant" is! The picture below is of Kim and Lori (my boss' wife). They are both due at about the same time. We'll be loaded up with new babies! DON'T drink the water at Woolfson Eye Institute!!!!

Happy Birthday Tim and Greg

Today was a crazy, fun day for our family! We celebrated both of my brother's birthdays. We had an "old fashioned" birthday party with cake, ice cream, balloons, games, prizes and presents. We pulled out the old birthday party games of "pin the tail on the donkey" and "drop the clothes pins in the jar". (You probably would have to be old to remember these games!) Danny won the drop the clothes pin game by getting 11 of 12 pins in the jar. (Go Dan!) Lauren actually got the "donkey tail" the closest and won the prize for that game. We even had trick candles on the cake and made Tim and Greg wear party hats and the whole works! Sometimes it's just a lot of fun to go back in time and celebrate the way you did when you were kids! God has really blessed me with a wonderful family!

Work, Work, Work

Not much new going on here. This was a "FULL" work week. (It's really hard after having several short weeks!) For those who don't know what I do, I work in Lasik Eye surgery. It's an interesting job and I've been with Dr. Woolfson for 7 1/2 years. I'm what's known as a traveling tech. We have 12-13 offices all over the southeast and I travel to all of them for surgey. We do what's called a loop every other week. We either go up I-85 and do Greenville, SC, Asheville, NC, Bristol, TN, Knoxville, TN and Chattanooga, TN. , or, we go up I-75 and do it the opposite way. We leave on Monday morning and are usually home on Wednesday night. We also throw in Birmingham, AL once a month. About every 2 months we do Columbia, SC and Hiawassee, GA. Then we have offices in Cumming, Sandy Springs, Lawrenceville, and Stockbridge. I write everything on my calender so I'll be in the right place at the right time. It gets a little hairy sometimes. Last Friday we had a huge surgery day in Sandy Springs and our laser went down which extended the day 3 hours (a 14 hour day). Today, we were in Sandy Springs again and our other laser went down. We couldn't get the parts for surgery today soooooo, we'll be working on Saturday morning this week. JOY!!!! If you ever need Lasik eye surgery (not for reading glasses - SORRY) give me a call. I probably can't get you a discount, but, I know the best surgeon around!!
