Saturday Fun

Thankfully today is not as blazing hot as every other day for the last two weeks has been. We decided to make a family breakfast trip to Huddle House this morning. You can really get a glimpse of some interesting attire at the local Huddle House. We took this picture of one of the patrons wearing some super cute jean shorts, a.k.a. jorts. Coy couldn't keep his eyes off of them!

Feeling Better

Coy was back to his normal self tonight. I feel pretty certain that he will come home tomorrow.

Poor Wittle

Our poor little guy has been so sick. He has been at the hospital for the last two days, however I do think that he is coming home tomorrow. He has had nasty sores in his mouth from a virus and he had to have I.V. fluids to keep him hydrated.

Today is mine and JR's eighth wedding anniversary. We actually forgot about it until around lunch time. But we are going to go out to eat in a little while and then I am going back to the hospital to spend the night with my sick wittle.

New Camera

I got a new camera. I am so excited about it too!

More wagon ride pics!!!!!

This Weekend

This past weekend was really laid back. Me, JR and Coy went to Hartsville for dinner at Bow Thai. I always order Pad Thai as my first order at every Thai restaurant to see if it measures up to Thai House in Fort Walton Beach, which I consider to be the standard of which all Pad Thai dishes are measured. Unfortunately, it didn't measure up and we probably won't go back. I figure if you can't get the national dish correct, then I can't give you a second chance. We did get some fresh rolls that were pretty good, but those are so simple to make that it doesn't count.

After dinner, we drove by Lowes to check out swing set prices. Coy is getting a swing set for his birthday, because he loves to swing. Since the wooden playground swing sets are $1500 and are by far the popular, cool kid thing to do, we are going outside of the norm and getting him a $200 metal swing set. I figure all he wants to do is swing and that will be sufficient. Also, in a few years when he doesn't want to swing anymore, I want feel so bad about giving it away.

Dental Conspiracy

Recently, I have had a lot of dental work done. One root canal, a crown, five fillings and I still need to have a filling replaced. It is a little embarrassing, because I feel like I really do have a jank mouth. Also, JR has given me a really hard time about it, while he was busy bragging about how he never has any problems with his teeth.

JR started complaining Sunday evening about his tooth and jaw hurting. The pain got progressively worse until he made a dental appointment for yesterday morning. After the dentist looked at his x-ray, it was quickly decided that he needed a root canal right away. JR didn't take the news very well. To quote him "I just can't believe this has happened. I take good care of my teeth. I just can't believe that this has gone down".

I took a picture of him while his mouth was still numbed up.

One Of Those Days

It has been one of my cynical days again when I hate people and feel super self righteous. It is very unbecoming, however unavoidable. Ninety-five percent of the people that I have interacted with today have been perceived by me as idiots. I really hate days like this. Many times it is co-workers that drive me crazy. Not the co-workers that work in the office with me, but the ones that work in a building in another state. The majority of our communication is via email which can get a little snippy at times. It reminds me of how people don't mind flipping each other off in a car or swearing from a car. There's a barrier that keeps the perpetrator feeling safe. I try to be nice, but I know that I come across condescendingly. I just want them to know how freaking stupid they are, but in a nice way.

Last night we had a going away gathering for one of our co-workers. I actually like the vast majority of the people that attended, so it was a pleasant experience. The bad part was driving home in a terrible storm with science fiction movie style lightening popping all around the car. I drove 35mph most of the way with what my friend Gail referred to as "the pace car" leading the way in front of me.

Vacations Always Have To End

I had a great time this past week visiting with my family in Florida. It was great to be away from work for a week. Coy has entered a new phase. He is trying to walk, but doesn't have the coordination yet. He crawls everywhere and pull up on everything and only wants to play with things that are not baby approved. It is exhausting, but it is so much fun at the same time. I love watching him learn to do new things and become more aware of his environment.

Random: I just saw a commercial for this new workout equipment called the Shake Weight. It is the weirdest thing I have ever seen and I will be completely appalled if anyone that I know ever buys one or uses one. I could barely watch the commercial without gagging. Please do not ever use one!

Coy misses Tiny B, Doc, Aunt JaMollie, and Geg!
