Pain Pain Go Away

Why yes she has on 2 kitty shirts and matching pants.  She got chilly and made her grandpa put on the t-shirt she took out of her own diaper bag.

Last night's fortune.  I think my local restaurant is worried about my love life.

I had my nerve test today and everything is normal.  This is great news but provides even less in regards to answers about why my arm always hurts.  I'm hoping my doctor calls tomorrow with a follow up plan.  I can't take this too much longer, chronic pain is not my thing.  I'm starting to get scary depressed and only want to eat for comfort.  I'm forcing myself to be social and to keep working out but this motivation won't last too long.  I know my cycle.  Here's to happy thoughts and a reasonable explanation to my pain.

Celebrations!

CHHHHEEEEESSSSSEEEEE!!!!

We were singing to them, hence Sara's cutest face!

Sheer bliss over auntie's present

After everyone left and the new toys were put away we had some music time.  

I was teaching them how to salsa.  

Saturday Baking Day

If you let BooBoo play with your phone she will take 47 selfies in 4 min.  These are the highlights!

Half of the cupcakes for tomorrow.  The chocolate ones are brown, how boring!

Today was a great day for baking.  Cold rainy and horribly unseasonable.  Overall I was in my element however now I'm paying for it.  My hand is throbbing and I want to chop it off.  Totally worth it to see people enjoy what I've made.  For sure not my best effort in decorating but they'll taste delish!  Presents are all wrapped up and in the car too.  Cannot wait to see my kiddos tomorrow!

Happy 3rd Birthday to my favorite Twins!

2 days old

Year 1

Year 2

Year 3

They just keep getting better and better.  I cannot wait to make them cupcakes tomorrow and celebrate on Sunday afternoon.  This year they finally understand what a birthday is and how special their day is.  I can't wait to see what 3 will hold for them.  2 was quite tumultuous so for their Momma's sake I hope 3 is a breeze.  Happiest of Birthdays to my Lil Buddies and Sara Beara!

Angry Strawberry

This child's face pretty much sums up how I've felt the last couple days.

• I had to go to Apple and wipe my hard drive in order to get the new software install.  Now I'm trying to restore everything and not having favorites is making me stabby.
• I was diagnosed with tennis elbow.  I got a cortisone shot which hasn't seemed to help at all. Tomorrow I start physical therapy and I'm banking on that to help.
• In the mean time my hand hurts, a lot!  I did very little computer work today and it's throbbing.  I'm guessing cutting up a huge watermelon wasn't too smart.  Then again I just realized I need to take my pain pill.  Maybe that will help.
• I've been getting some great kudos at work for being in ND and my time in SW MN.  The agent in Windom sent the nicest compliment letter for the 6 of us I've ever read.  She was so kind to all of us, and went out of her way to accommodate all of our craziness.
• My nieces and nephew have been the highlight of the week so far.  They make me laugh so hard.  BooBoo took my sunglasses tonight, put them on and headed towards the door with a bye-eeeeee.  Danyal told me he's going to be 4, not 3.  Just Sara will be 3.  And my sweet Sara told me I'm pretty.  All in all, they make me feel pretty fantastic

ND you aren't winning me over

This is a Cobb salad in ND.  Last time I checked a Cobb salad should have more than 1 kind of lettuce, bacon, egg, and avocado.  Next time I read the description before I order.

Same restaurant, 2 toilets and sinks in a bathroom with 1 door and a lock.  Is my ass so big I need two toilets?  I'm so confused.  So far I'm not planning a return trip unless mandated for work.

No, just NO Dakota

This is where I'm staying.  It's honest to goodness called the Wagon Wheel Inn! The nicer Americinn is full due to a wedding in town.  In my 10 yrs of travel this is the FIRST time I've ever stayed in a motel, aka door to the outside, not a hallway.  The room isn't that bad, it's stinky and the wall unit AC isn't really keeping up in the 95 degree heat, but I'm kinda cool and all my stuff should be safe for the 5 days I'm here.  Plus the guy I'm helping is so far behind I won't be here very much at all.
