Fishing The Day Away

This afternoon we took little v fishing. This was his first trip. Vorin took him to a place near the house. I went to take pictures and ended up fishing. Vorin pretended to fish but really watched little v. I was going to leave them to it, but little v caught his first fish! That hooked me. I stayed, and we fished while Vorin watched. Soon (in fishing terms), little v caught his second fish! Wow! Vorin and I each in term had nibbles, a couple of bites, and fed several unseen fish lunch. We stayed to fish a little while, and I finally caught my first fish! (First one ever that I can remember.) Hooray! What a great day!!

Tired but Satisfied

We had a long day today. My mother and son went with me to a lap band seminar at Baptist. I had been to one for Centennial Center for the Treatment of Obesity, but found out that while the center was "in-network" with my insurance the doctors were not. That would not be so bad, but there are no "out-of-network" benefits for this service - hmmm, nope, no extra $14,000 sitting around. Off to Baptist I go.

Anyway, left the seminar and had lunch at Cracker Barrel. After Cracker Barrel, we took my wonderful little guy to a hands-on science center. We only arrived home a short time ago. This one tired Mama! Is the little guy sleepy... doesn't sound like. Ominous microphone noises waft this way from his room, so I know the keyboard is out. LOL!

I'm missing a geo caching event in Huntsville, AL tonight, but I am just too tired to go. I sent my ID Timber wolf geocoin with hubby, "Vorin," for others to discover and log. Now, trying to watch Auburn vs. LSU and the Blade season finale at the same time without picture in picture.

Star Wars and Animals

I probably should have titled this "shameless plug", but it is for a wonderful cause. One of my friends works tirelessly to put together Celebration Pet Day each year in Shelbyville, TN. Her blog site for the event this year is: Celebration Pet Day

I mention Star Wars because she and her husband are fellow sci-fi, er, fans - yeah, that's it... not fanatics... fans. : ) They attend DragonCon every year. She has arranged for a "Meet and Greet" with the 501st Legion costuming group as one of the activities for this event.

Visit her blog for more information and to see a picture of the legion in costume. Her regular blog: Richardson Zoo also has some great DragonCon pictures.

Life is Good

Things are going well. I had a fun weekend with my hubby and some friends geocaching. Monday, my friend Jennifer had her cochlear implant surgery and made it through just fine! Hooray for Jen! Work is going well this week, and I am blissfully ignoring my school work. I also checked out books to read for pleasure from the library. Ah, life is indeed good.

Wonder how long this will last?

forgot....

I forgot to say that during all of the other activity the end of last month my baby turned 4 and my husband and I celebrated our 11th anniversary. You know... just some minor details! : )

Long time no blog

Well, I'd like to say that it is just because I am busy that I haven't written, but that would not be entirely truthful. Actually, I also forgot my login info. and the auto complete went away for some reason.

August was a busy month. The summer semester at Auburn wound to a close, and the week of the 21-25 we were on campus for the beginning of the fall semester. I love Auburn University and like the town, but it has been the pits trying to get back into things at work this go around - yuck!

I went to a seminar on bariatric surgery at Centennial Medical Center on August 29th. I have decided to try for lap band surgery through my insurance. It may be a huge fight, and it may just mean jumping through some hoops. It is covered though, so count on me to fight for it. It won't mean a magic cure for weight loss, but that combined with diet and exercise usually yields great results. Wish me luck!

My friend Jennifer just received approval for cochlear implant surgery - hooray! She is having it soon and would appreciate any prayers that could be sent her way. I know her surgery is very different from the one I want, but she has inspired me to give it a go.

Anyway... my house is a wreck and needs some attention. I am going to try and get some things done tonight so later!
