Hey Look, It's Sunday!

Not sure where the week went, it seems to be a huge blur for me. I've been quite busy working, trying to put out new stuff each week, especially having this rockin new store to stock up! I really enjoyed my first week at the O. Everyone is so friendly and a pleasure to work with over there.

I haven't had any luck getting my computer reformatted yet. Only because I can't find my XP disc OR the Vista disc that came with my laptop. I did manage to find my XP upgrade disc but that doesn't do me any good.

Dan applied for a job at our local electronics store so wish us luck!!

Hmmm yummy!

I've taken over my husband's computer since mine decided it wanted to fizzle out on me, so he's making me look up a certain coffee franchise location nearest the freeway so that he can have a place to meet his buddy tomorrow. They are working out of town this weekend and going up a day early to set up.

I haven't done much of anything today. I got some work things done but I am procrastinating because they are things that I still have a little time to get done but for the most part I took a lazy day. I am sitting here looking around at my living room that was clean but is no longer as the result of my lazy day.. that and the monkeys that inhabit this jungle.

If I sound tired, it's because I am. I had a hard time sleeping last night and ended up falling asleep on the couch. Alright, it's about that time so I am off to feed the monkeys.

Have a great night.

My Day...

Today was kind of an odd day. I was in the middle of writing a fun little blog post when all of a sudden my screen went blue. Yes, that's right I got the dreaded Blue Screen of Death. Luckily, for me I have several means of backups and everything of importance was on my external hard drive and that was not affected. At least someone is looking out for me because if I had lost any of those files I'd be on the couch in the fetal position right now.

So, even though my nearly brand new, under a year old laptop computer built for heavy graphics and gobs of memory took a nose dive I am in a good mood because I didn't lose anything important. Yea me!

My son, Liam, who is 5 and starting Kindergarten this year.. provided I can get his doctor to fill out this form and have it back to me on time, has taken a shine to infomercials. He takes after my mother that way, who I had dubbed "The Queen of Infomercials". She and I used to take Sundays off from life, sleep late, have coffee, make huge Sunday breakfasts, and then spend the rest of the day watching infomercials. At one point she had just about everything that you had ever seen on tv. Wonder Mops, magical pots and pans,colon cleansers, you name it she had it.

Long story a tiny bit shorter, Liam was sitting on the couch the other day when a commercial came on tv. It wasn't quite long or good enough to be called a commercial but not yet long enough to be an actual infomercial.. so let's just call it a infant-mercial. So, he's watching this infant-mercial and he turns to me in his ever so serious sweet little voice and says, "Mom don't you want a Pancake Puff Pan?"

Of course I said no.. but he insisted I did. I must admit those little pancake puff balls filled with ooey gooey chocolate pudding really did look good. I was telling my mom about it the other night and of course the first words out of her mouth.. after the giggling stopped were "Hey, I want one too" Gee how in the world did I know she was going to say that?

Anywa, I hope y'all have a great night.. I've had a long day and I'm headed to bed.

Prescription Plans

It's no secret that I suffer from several medical conditions and that I currently am uninsured medically. My husband's job offered medical benefits but they would have cost us $600 a month out of his check, which if we took we couldn't afford to eat or pay our bills but at the same time we couldn't afford to not have it. We did qualify briefly for state insurance but lost it as hubby got a cost of living raise, so I've been having to pay for my meds out of pocket and sometimes my mom has to pay for it, at least the ones that are most important for me to take daily. The others are important as well but I won't die if I don't take them.

Anyway, I've been doing some research on prescription plans and I've come across some info on Medicare that I thought was interesting. According to Wikipedia: " Medicare Part D is a federal program to subsidize the costs of prescription drugs for Medicare beneficiaries in the United States." I always thought that Medicare was specifically geared towards senior citizens, but I can't find anything in the documents online that specifically say that and from the information I have been finding talks about folks of non-retirement age. I still have alot of reading to do but I am feeling slightly hopeful that maybe I've found away to get coverage for my meds without having to stress myself out constantly. And if not, well I'll search on.

Fingers crossed!!
