Here we go

Well it looks like due to the stupid fracture in my wrist, I have tendonitis. I found out yesterday that I need to have surgery on it. The doctor says its like a 15 minute and he done. They have to go in and cut the scar tissue that is attached to the tendon , throw in a couple stitches and I will be good as new. I go in on Sept. 11th. I had made the decision not to let them put me under before that but after finding out the date ..... IT IS A BIG HELL NO ..... give the block.
Maybe I'm being silly but oh well.

It looks like A&P II this semster will teach me more than last semster. I also learned that I'm not the only one who had a hard time last semster with a certain instructor. Also I guess in one of the other instructor's classes someone was out and out cheating. Damn. I mean come on now. If you can't pass honestly , then take your grade and try again harder next time. People like that make me mad. But anyways I will get off my high horse. Other than school starting nothing to exciting going on this week.

Ha Ha The evil plot has been launched

* evil grin and laugh* We have finally done it. Austin and I have managed to make Chris sick. Normally we get sinus problems and he just makes fun of us. But this time it must have been a strong bug cause it got him too. Grant you he isn't as bad off as us but we got him. lol Now that you think I'm crazy..... Anyways tomorrow I start my second day of this semester at MSC. Today I had my history class. It seems like it should be easy enough to get a good grade in that class as long as I read the book. Which won't be hard. Okay I shouldn't admit this but I like history. Okay now you know I am crazy. Tuesday and Thursday will be my busy day. I will make it through okay though.

Changes in the Houghtling Household

We got the Saturn!! The Silverado will be missed, but woo hoo better gas mileage. Plus you can't beat $432 for a new car with a lot of great features. Chris is very happy to be back in a vehicle with a manual transmission. Which means the brave man has to give me a refresher course on shifting and such (hey keep it clean this is a family blog!). Also I finally got my new chairs for my dining room table. If it had been this painless last year, I would have love it. It took less than a week to get them. They look great ! We get the Vue tomarrow so there should be be pics on Monaday at the latest.

Crazy Car Dealers....

Tricks are for kids!! After a LOOOONNNNGGGGG day of car shopping , I am beat. We went to the Saturn dealership , the Pontiac lot and Chevy. Don't get me wrong we love the Silverado ( I say we like I'm the one giving up my truck) but the gas mileage SUCKS. Anyways in the end we are hoping for the Saturn Vue. The salesman at the other places were complete assholes. First the guy at Pontiac was mad that we werent over the top excited about their car and then they really got nasty when we didn't like the fact we didn't buy their car. They are way overpriced on the Vibe. We can get a better loaded Vue for the same price as a base model Vibe. And the jackasses at Chevy want Chris to bend over and take it like a man on the trade in on the Silverado. And when the Sales Manager said he wasnt good with math, he wasn't kidding. Boy it is scary who gets to sell cars!! Now the Saturn dealer was low pressure, very respectful and have a great SUV. And it gets good gas mileage. If your car shopping, click on the link.

Long Post

Hmm lets see where to start.... Oh yea I went into see the Doctor today and found it will be another week in the brace. UGH!!! I don't think I will be ever free from this thing. He said with where I fractured my wrist the I most likely developed tendonitis and will have to wear the brace for another week . Plus I get to take lots of ibprofen and then come back to see him in 2 weeks. I am now crossing my fingers that I will be free by Labor Day weekend because we are going camping. Please wish me Luck!! Next week, I start back to Macon State College. I have actually missed school or maybe I just want to get through it and get my nursing degree. Anyways we had a good weekend. Saturday we had some friends over and Chris cooked on the grill. Yummo(as Rachael Ray would say) steaks. I would have Chris marinade steaks and grill them for me then to go to ANY steakhouse. Yes they are that good.. Great food Great company what could be better! Sunday we played lazy in the morning, then went to Macon to walk around the mall for a while. Oh yea we finally got matching dining room chairs for our table. Woo Hoo it only took a year. And one of the best things to happen this week is that my best friend found out she is going to be a Mommy in March. She has been trying for about 3 years and it couldnt have happened for a better person. She is going to be a GREAT Mom!!! I wonder if she is sticking to the I can be there when she gives birth because I went through Labor to well thing??

2 more weeks

I feel kinda a groundhog... The orthopedic doctor saw a crack still so 2 more weeks in a brace this time instead of a cast. I, at least have use of my fingers again. Bad news for the idiot drivers who get in my way though. :) I apparently inherited the road rage from both my parents so I really have bad road rage. Anyways back to the wrist .... the doc said we will do x-rays again and I should be free in 2 weeks. I hope so! I never want to break anything again. But with my lack of grace, I'm sure I will. Chris is going to have to get me fitted for a plastic bubble for sure.
