Wisdom

W H Y do they call them wisdom teeth? So my wisdom teeth have been coming in for the last two years now. And I finally made an appointment to get them taken out. Why do some people have 4 and some only 2.... I was one of the lucky ones that only have 2. I'm not looking forward to it at all. All I know is, they better put me to sleep while they take them out. Mine area also weird, the come in and then they go back down under the gum line. Wisdom teeth., got to love them.

Costochondritis

C O S T O C H O N D R I T I S- Say that 5 times really fast.... I can hardly pronounce it.... Anyways though this past week I had been feeling some chest pain and some hard time breathing. For the first 4-5 days I thought it was just stress from work, but Andy finally talked me into calling the doc. I called for an appointment and they couldn't get me in right away of course, so I had to wait another 3 -4 days till they could. Of course the nurse is asking me all these questions to rule out a heart attack or whatever else. So I finally get in and they decide the want to do all these test on me. I really dislike the doctors office.. They did x-rays, and blood work and EKG.... And all that for a word I can't even say.... It has to do with the Lungs and the cartilage around them being inflamed. Yet they don't know what causes it. Mmmm and they get the big bucks... Anyways though today I'm feeling better but still sometimes it's hard to breath... They said I could have this for 3-6 weeks and it will just disappear on it's own.

Cooking

This past week I decided I was going to make dinner before Andy got home from work. Normally I would wait because I hate cooking, I think I get that from my mom. Anyways though I had a craving for stuffing, like you eat at Thanksgiving, so I went to the store and got a box and I was going to make that with some chicken and veggies. That didn't happen so much. As I was standing in the store, I started to read the back of the box with some recipes on it. If you look on that back of the box you will find it saying, 1 box 3 meal ideas ,30 minutes... So I started liking this recipe for Easy Chicken Bake... Sounded easy and what not and I had all the ingredients. So I followed the directions and it says 30 mins, wrong, it cooked for like an hour just because of the chicken. But in the end Andy came home we ate dinner and he liked it and I was proud of myself for cooking something besides stir fry... Here's the recipe if you would like to try it....

Fall is here!!!!

So it's finally fall here in Madison Wisconsin. That is probably my favorite season here, all the colors of the trees and the nice cool air so you can sleep well at night. Fall also means there are tons of new shows on. Some of my favorite shows that I'm watching this season are:

Dancing with the Stars, The Bachelor,Grey's Anatomy ,Private Practice, Deal or No Deal, Oprah, Rachel Ray,CSI and Young and The Restless

Of course these are all shows I tape and watch on the weekends or late at night when I get home from work if I have time....

Also in the Fall time Andy's schedule changes, so once I get familiar with one he has to change it for the fall time because of bowling. That's OK though we still see each other through out the week...

Did I mention that FALL was my favorite season.

Big Brother Update

So this summer I watched Big Brother 8, what a show. Never thought I would get hooked on it, but boy did I..... This was a good season, lots of drama and lots of good game strategy... Anyone watch this season? Dick won the final game with his daughter coming in second place. They did a great job playing the game... Can't wait till next year.

BMW

So I know I have been bad about writing on here , but I have been busy... So after Labor day we got back into town. That next weekend one of the Pro Golf tournaments was happening near by. I said to Andy lets go... He looked up some tickets and off we were... The best part of it was , I was like 3 ft. from TIGER WOODS...... I watched him and many others play the BMW Championship. I told Andy that we should make this one of our traditions. We went to two different golf tournaments this year and both were a blast..... Unfortunately I don't have any pictures from there because they didn't allow cameras.Maybe next time...
