A quick update

Its been awhile again.

BabyDsitting and working with Hubby have been taking up a lot of my time. So much so that I haven't posted here, my farm at Farmtown is empty and my house, or everywhere the baby cant get to, is a mess.

This week is going to be just as busy. Hubby left this morning for Spokane. We had a blow out on the way to the airport. What a way to start a trip, a blow out on a busy highway. There wasn't a lot of room on the side of the road so naturally, you just know it happened on the drivers side tire. We had to call Andy to bring another vehicle so I could get Hubby to the airport and poor Andy had to change the tire. I was so scared for him. The traffic was heavy and fast. The icing on the cake? The jack was broke and the lug nuts were next to impossible to get off. The blister Andy got on his hand from lowering the car off the jack with a crescent wrench made my legs go weak when I saw it.

Did you know it was Grandparents Day yesterday? I didn't. My Son and DIL didn't either. Its not a big deal to me. I only mention it because my Mom is flippin pissed off that none of her Grandchildren knew about it either. So much so that she is leaving what she thinks are cryptic messages meant to make us feel bad on her Facebook page. It wouldn't have been such a big deal to her either but the neighbors, SuperW and WonderM, went all out for her Mom so now us girls, or rather our kids, are on the list. You know, the one that starts with a great big "S".

My niece who just got married in June is expecting. She wanted to start a family right away and wasted no time in starting said family. She always said she was going to be married before she was 24 and pregnant by 25. So far she is right on schedule being that she is turning 25 in two weeks. I just hope her new Hubby feels the same way. She only knew him six months before they were engaged and married another six months after that.

I learned a new word at my Gynecologist office today. Dysplasia: abnormal growth or development, as of organs or cells. She said as long as it can be classified as dysplasia, its not cancer. Yet. Next step, wait. Another test in six months and we decide what to do then. I have been sweating this since June when Kaiser called me to tell me my pap was abnormal and I needed a colposcopy. Yeah, that was like two days after my insurance was cancelled. So, I have been waiting and wondering. Finally, new insurance and a biopsy two weeks ago brings us to here. So, I wait. Again.

In case you haven't heard, I have crazy sisters. Crazy, as in they have already made hotel reservations in Westwood for the premier of New Moon. Sometime in November, I will be sitting/sleeping on a sidewalk for days on end. I begged them to let me stay home this time. They wont let me. They think I enjoy this. I don't. But, I go because, well, I guess for the same reason I go camping, even though I despise it. Its what we do and we do it together.

On Wednesday, I will be joining Hubby in Spokane. I am all packed, ready to go and nervous as hell. The thought of flying, and flying alone no less, has me sick to my stomach. When did I get this way? Stuff like this never bothered me before. The new company is putting on their yearly hardware show. I wasn't going to go this time for several reasons, mostly because he has only been with the company for five months now. With the old company, I was like a fixture at these shows, I went to all of them. Everyone knew me, customers, coworkers, vendors. This is a new ballgame. His employers don't know that I do the shows, that I help Hubby. I didn't want them to think that with me tagging along, he wasn't doing his job and taking care of his customers. What changed my mind was when I saw his flight itinerary. He was due to return home on Saturday the 19th, by way of Seattle. Ive never been to Seattle. Space Needle is in Seattle. Pikes Place Market where they throw the fish around and home of the very first Starbucks is in Seattle. Some of the ships from the Discovery Channel show, Deadliest Catch are in Seattle, although I think I am too late because they have probably returned to Alaska a few weeks ago. So, I will be in Seattle too, with Hubby, on Saturday the 19th, which is my 50th birthday.

I am so excited. Now, if I only didn't have to fly to get there!
