The Boro

We went right past Dave's stomping grounds. I beeped and waved.

My sister's yard and the pups

Virginia trip

Well I promised some photos from my trip to Virginia. I assume you already saw my nephew and his smashed Mustang.
Here are some from the reunion.

From left to right: My sister Sherrie, some guy I just found out I was related to, my nephew DJ, his girlfriend Brandy, and my husband Bob.



Des and DJ entertaining the crowd

This is a picture of my nephew Jesus, I mean D.J.



5 minutes after this picture was taken, he left for work. He called about 5 minutes after he left to say someone had rear ended him, going 55 mph. DJ was sitting still.



He was hit by a lady driving a pick-up truck who didn't see him sitting with his blinker on to make a left turn.








There were no skid marks, indicating she never hit the breaks.
D.J. is a very lucky young man.

Lysol? I thought that was for my floor

I came across this vintage ad for Lysol. I was totally shocked on how and what it was used for in the past. (click on picture to make it larger and read ad.)

All in the family

Heading North to Virginia to visit my sister for a few days. Attending a family reunion. I will be armed with the camera and will try to post some pics.
This should be interesting.

Flower Power

As I have mentioned before, I work for a Pediatric Dentist. She is nice enough to supply our scrubs for us. Recently she bought the office manager and myself a new top. She was excited about it and told us over lunch, "it's got big flowers on it." She sounded so excited about it. The office manager and I just looked at each other...like "OMG what has she done now?" She tends to order us scrubs that don't fit properly and are usually 10 sizes too big. I thought "well, I will give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe this time it's not so bad"...until I opened the box and saw THIS.....






It looks like really bad 70's wallpaper. We have decided to tell her we will pay for shipping to send it back.

Some Good News

Ruben was scoped today and the doctors said they can not see any cancer. We have to wait until the PET scan to find out if it is completely gone (no longer in the lymph nodes) and then he is considered cancer free.
Keeping our fingers crossed until then but very happy with today's news. Thanks to all who prayed for him.

What a difference a day makes

It was just a cold and not the flu. (@@) )~ That's supposed to be a pig. Anyhow.....I took an Ambien last night late and slept a little better than I had. I feel about 50% better than I did yesterday. I am still not going into work today, just in case I am still contagious. I have a pattern of waking up and feeling better but by 9:00 or 10:00 a.m., I am feeling bad again.

I am glad I feel better. I have only eaten twice in the last 2 days. I have no appetite. I am drinking hot tea, orange juice and water. My mom always gave me tea and toast when I was sick. I will have to try that as soon as my stomach tells me it's hungry.

I'm not oinking yet....

I have the flu. I know, I know....
Kate said it's nothing to worry about...so I am not going to worry. But I am not going to work tomorrow. I am in direct contact with children and their parents and I don't think the parents would want me there spreading my "pig" germs. People tend to panic.
I am not running a fever, but have body aches, muscle and joint aches, headache, sore throat, stuffed up nose, no appetite whatsoever. I just feel overall crappy.
I am thinking its a bad cold. I want to think positive.
I was just at the doctor Friday. If I am not better by Wednesday I will call. No point in alarming anyone.

Still Alive

I know I haven't posted in a while. Sorry. Just didn't have anything to say. My Blood pressure is a little high so the doctor changed my meds....again.... Can we say "sick of this shit"?

I am not feeling too hot today. Not sure why. I need to eat something but I am stuck at work and there is nothing healthy in the fridge. I will grab a bite when I get home.

Bob's other brother (Norberto) from NY is down visiting the brother who has cancer (Ruben). We may meet him for dinner tonight or just go to Ruben's house. Norberto leaves tomorrow.

My son finishes college next week and will be home for the summer. My house will be so depressed. :)

That's all for now. Hope everyone has a great weekend. I sure will try.
