Go Grumpy, Go Grumpy, Its your birthday! Go Grumpy ... and other current items

First, I'd like to forewarn: my new blog template will be coming very shortly.

I went to the Dr yesterday [which was quite an ordeal b/c I took Erica w/ me]. Anyway, the Dr decided that I needed to get my blood taken & tested. Which was fine with me, b/c I really don't mind it at all. Erica was very good sitting still during that, which made me happy. What DIDN'T make me happy was the nurse. I have very small veins. So, I always have blood drawn thru my hand, not arm. Well, this nurse thought she knew better and thought I was ridiculous. She tested my veins and said: "They're not small at all! I can get this." Yeah, I have a huge 'bruise' on my arm now; she burst the vein while trying. I'm really really mad. Its rather hard during the summer to hide a huge bruise like this.

-Erica is in love with the Care Bears. For awhile it was Strawberry Shortcake. Then Elmo / Sesame Street. Then Bob the Builder. And now Care Bears. Well, we have one movie right now from the library; its the original Care Bears Movie. Its kinda cute. But the best part is towards the end; the care bears all get up and sing a song and dance around. OH MY WORD! Its so cute-- Erica and I dance around the room with them. Its so much fun. Throughout the song, Grumpy Bear acts like he's hating the whole thing. He has a scowl on his face and only dances half-heartedly. But at the very end of it, he steps aside from everyone so they cant see him-- and then starts dancing up a storm! I say: "Go grumpy! Go grumpy! It's your birthday! Break it down now!" So much fun.

[An aside note: I gave that link above for the care bears main website. Yeah, I'm not happy. Its new-and-approved. As a part of that, they changed all of the games. They got rid of the only one that Erica could really play. It was a find-the-bear kinda thing. There were four clouds. And you had to guess which cloud the bear was hiding behind. So Erica would point to a cloud and I'd click it. Very simple.]

I'm getting my hair cut today. Nothing major; just thinned out and trimmed. But I'm really excited. I finally found a hairdresser that does a perfect job with my hair.

Well, I guess I need to go now. Tons of stuff to do. Bye!
