Monster Truck Rally

This is a conversation that Viv and Dave had on their way home from school Thursday:

V-We went to Waco today on a school bus for a Monster Truck Rally
D-At school? Had you learned something about it?
V-We were all good so Mr. Cruz took us to Waco to see it
D-how?
V-On a bus, they had pink for girls and a dragon one for the boys
D-Did you sign something for V to go to the Monster Truck Rally today in Waco?
S-Ask her if you should call Mr. Cruz
D-Mommy asked if we should call Mr. Cruz....
V-I was just playing

S-So, Mr. Cruz I hear you took the kids to Waco for a Monster Truck Rally
Mr. C-No, they came to us, it was a Make a Wish Foundation

Free at Last

In case you hadn't heard the stone is gone, it passed without even knowing it myself.

The Stone Continues

I am heading to the Urologist on Wednesday to figure out the best way to end the life of the dreaded stone that has staked claim to my body.

Summer of COLOR



This is a summer of color. Reds, blues, coral, greens and even yellow are all hot right now.




If you bought a metallic handbag last summer don't worry you can still carry it.
Pink is even in.

Not so crazy about the yellow but the Spring Apple is very cute.
For the more practical shopper.
AND AS ALWAYS, PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM WHITE SHOES!!!!!!!

Still no Stone

I am still waiting for the stone to pass and it sucks!

The Stone

I was in the ER yesterday for a kidney stone. If you've never had one be thankful........

I spent most of the day as Mimi must feeling the urge to go and dribbling. That is an annoying feeling. I walked down the mall to get water and was attacked by some version of cupid but instead of my heart it attacked my kidney, that was about 3:30. I called Karina to get her advice and while on the phone with her I went down hill....I was sick, sweating and according to Corinne I didn't look so good so I headed to Providence. I got to the ER a little after 4 and let Dave know where to find me (being that I was in Waco and he was in Temple). I called my angel, Erin to come and sit with me. She is my new Jewish Mother. (Thank you so much for taking care of me better than the nurses). I was finally put in a room around 4:55 and Dave got there about 5:15. I decided that it might be a good time to let Mom and Dad know what was going on so I asked Dave to call (he wanted to just send a message). I was taken for a CAT scan and told I had a kidney stone that was about 4mm. (I left out a few details) I was released about 7 something to go home to pass the dreaded stone and am still waiting.

Things you don't want to hear while in the hospital for kidney stone:
1. The person doing the catheter being told by another person how one is done.
2. Your eye shadow is really pretty, I don't care just stick in the IV.
3. You know the biggest reason you get a kidney stone is from COKE- that was from Dave
4. You need to be up and active to help pass this stone.
5. I had to get this strainer from the guy next door, he just passed his stone.


Erin-again, thank you so much for everything you did. I don't know how I can thank you enough.
