Turkey Lurkey Giggle...

Food... Oh Gawd... Food

Today for lunch I'm eating the last of the turkey via the soup I made on Sunday to relieve the neverending Thanksgiving leftover nightmare that was/still is our fridge. I imagine that for dinner I'll be eating smashed tater/green bean casserole/gravy/cheesy goo surprise again... really though... it's not that bad. I mean... seriously... too much food... never a bad thing.

I just finished the last of the chocolate sex bars last night... which is definitely for the best, because as I have so very sadly discovered, one of the very, very bad side effects of the most wonderful migraine medication ever is that it makes chocolate cause very bad tummy boiling. The good news out of that is that I will likely eat less chocolate during the holiday season. The bad news is that I will not eat no chocolate, therefore I will undoubtedly have some serious tummy boiling. I ate half a bottle of tums just for turkey day food stuffs... what's gonna happen for all the other food stuffs? GAWD I'm gonna die!

Things to do to piss me off:

• Take my keys from me like I'm a freaking idiot.
• Answer me condescendingly when I ask you a completely logical question (Should I leave the car running?), especially considering I'm handing you the keys to the most expensive thing I don't even own, and won't even own for years to come...
• Answer the question one way then do something else... for instance (Yes, then reach inside and turn it off as soon as I've gotten out.... that's why I asked the fucking question you asshat!)
• Tell me you'll provide a courtesy shuttle with no problem (when I call ahead) and that getting me back to work before my lunch hour is over will be no problem, butdefinitely don't have a courtesy shuttle available, and keep telling me that it'll be here when it gets here when I ask... and that I should just be patient.
• You should also definitely try to convince me to have my brakes checked and realigned as well... especially since the car only has 5000 miles on it. And when I tell you that I can handle that myself because I have a mechanic in the family, you should tell me that yours are better and more certified.... (I really like the look on your face when I tell you that mine is a certified automotive instructor - so suck it asshat!)
• Also, you should definitely not apologize for the inconvenience, because I'm definitely going to tell one of your biggest customers all about this experience... and that will actually be the highlight of this experience for me.

I know it's bad luck... but so what!?

It's now been 6 days without a migraine... perhaps the new drug is taking hold of my system very quickly? Perhaps it's all in my head (yes you may groan now). Whatever it is... I'm freaking thrilled. I'd like it to hold out through next week. I really need it to last a bit longer....

Maybe I can make it a whole week! How sad is it that I am this excited about a week without migraines?! That should be a normal part of life... part of existence. Oh well. I'll take what I can get.

Perhaps I'll write more later. Maybe I'll even add pictures tonight. I make no promises though. I'm not good at keeping them.

So Yay for Insurance...

I had me a little chitsy chatsy with my insurance company last night. It turns out that they will indeed cover my drugsy wugsy... this is good!

I'm done with the baby talk now. I do have to meet a $150 deductible then it's a $60 a month co-pay, so the first month will be $210... which does indeed hurt.... but then I can send them in to the mail order prescription plan and get three months for the price of 2 so the it will only be $40 a month... so not bad when all is said and done. My insurance plan really isn't that great, but it's better than nothing. Without insurance, the drugs would cost me what I pay in rent a month! So that's a bonus.

Here's to 5 days in a row without a migraine! And here's to great insurance help representatives on the other end of the phone who also told me that my birthcontrol would be dirt cheap if I sent it in through the mail order thing!

Sometimes... being a girl sucks!

Like today - and approximately 5 days of every month.

I started reading again last night. I seem to have forgotten how since I finished Harry Potter 7. I think that I figured nothing could live up to that book, so I didn't even try. Last night in an effort to assuage boredom and to broaden my mind, I started reading "Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister" by somebody Maguire.... I think.

So far I think I'll like it. It has taken a rather weird twist on the Cinderella story... and as I like weird twists on classics (read: "Lamb: the Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal")... I figure it will at least entertain me a bit. I still can't handle anything too intelligent as far as reading goes... I think my brain's still on strike from college (probably not a good time for me to consider getting my masters...).

..................

Our house is in shambles right now, and one roommate is absolutely displeased with the entire situation. He's very angry about all of it. The downstairs bathroom (his and other roommate's) is mostly missing a wall in the shower.... The good news: the new window has been installed. The bad news: no showering in that bathroom for probably a week. The even badder (yes I just used the word badder, which likely isn't a word, but remember my brain is still on strike) news: this particular roommate takes 2 showers a day. Since Nick and his brother are out of town most of the week, this isn't a problem... yet. It will be by Thursday night. By Thursday night... it will be hell. Four people - one shower - 5 showers a day... boo.

So that's what I have to look forward to. I'm considering going to Casper this weekend for my dad's birthday... and also to avoid the shower issues. I haven't seen my parents in a while, so that would be nice, and it would also be nice to say happy birthday to him on his birthday. He'll be 52. That's weird to me. My parents seem so much younger than they are. It's crazy growing up.

And now I'm done.

I only got 4 - How lame is that?

So Halloween is my most favoritest holiday ever. Something about too much make-up, obscene amounts of candy, and dressing like a fool... anyway. It is my favorite. Nick and I went to a costume party at a Synagogue in Denver this weekend, so I got my fill... It was a wind-down party from Burning Man, so there were some fantastically disturbing costumes. There was some nudity, and definitely a few people who needed a bath or two. That's neither here nor there though.

Nick and I went to the ballet before the party, so we dressed up and then wore fancy masks to the party. It was a swell time. I'll post pictures - maybe.

Last night I was sooooo excited for trick-or-treaters. We live in a family-friendly neighborhood near the mall, so I totally expected to have at least some cute kiddos in rediculous costumes. Nope. I had 4 - all in their teens. I wanted cute little kids. I wanted the shy teddy bears and princesses... I got two girls in their school colors and two girls dressed as witches. Needless to say, I was bummed. A big frowny face for this year's Halloween.
