Well, it has been a very long time since I last blogged.I really don't know why I stopped, other than I really never had a lot to say.Sometimes I felt like Steve just said it all.I do have some new news. I have started a 1200 calorie diet per the recommendation of an Endocrinologist at the U of M. I have been trying to lose weight for many years and nothing seems to have been working.It has to

I have been thinking about getting a sewing machine for awhile now. This mostly occurs when I buy new pants. I am pretty short, and even the short lengths are usually to long. So I usually have to hit my mother-in law up for a hem, or go and pay a ton of money at a tailor.Steve said that it is going to be hard to get the cost of the machine out of the money saved doing my own hemming. I agreed

This was the bookmark that I embroidered for Grandma Eck this year for Christmas.I freehanded the design and then just started to stitch.I do not know how to do counted crosstitch and this was my first attempt at working with aida cloth.Grandma Eck has beautiful crosstitching at her place. She used to be able to do it when her eyes were better.She called and said she liked it, and I said that it

The Dakota County libraries are really very nice. They have a ton of branches and offer tons of selection.My favorite thing about them is the online services. My friend Andrea told me that you could request items online and also have a huge list of materials you wanted but where not available at this time. Some of the books I am waiting for have huge request times. On one of them I am 165th in

I really enjoy Halloween, and not just because of the candy!I like all the cute little kids and their costumes, and I like handing out the candy.Steve likes to eat the candy.In the years past we have just had enough candy, had almost the exact amount, and also ran out of candy twice.So this year I was not going to run out. I bought around 180 pieces of candy, a 12 pack of teddy grahams, and a 12

I started my vacation on on Monday of this week. I flew to Boston to stay for 2 days with Steve as he finished up working.After that we headed to Hanover, New Hampshire, to visit with Sarah and John. We drove out to their place in Lyme and spent the rest of the day chatting and visiting downtown Lyme.Today we headed to the Franconia Notch to view the mountains and historical sites. Along the way

I have my own computer! It is very exciting for me.I went to a garage sale on Friday just down the street from us and low and behold they had a Dell LCD 15 inch monitor for 15 bucks! I of course had to have it, and asked the guy, "does it work?" My neighbor for not much longer as they are moving soon said, "yes, Dell sent it with my laptop. I have never used it."Luckily for me he was telling the

Today is the big day, and guess what? It rained as soon as all the stuff was put onto the driveway for the sale!What a pain! I had to drag and lift it all back into the garage! Plus now a lot of the stuff will probably not go as the garage is pretty crowded.Oh well, my 4 customers so far all bought something.Oh yeah, I also sold the 13 inch Magnavox Tv that mom and dad brought over.

Today while I was talking to my Mom on my cell phone, I heard a beep. I then told my Mom she had another call, and she should hang up and answer it. So like the good, believing Mom that she is, she did just that.After she hung up though there was another beep and I looked at the display and it said that Felicia was on the line. So I hurriedly pushed talk and said Hello? kinda quietly, still

Tomorrow Steve and I are leaving to go to Florida! We are lucky enough to be traveling with Steve's parents. They have a timeshare that sleeps 6 this time.We will be in Long Boat Key. It is about an hour south of Tampa.I am excited to go as it will be all relaxation all week long.Well I will blog when we return!!

Linzy is sick tonight, and so was going to miss her self-imposed once-a-month blogging regiment. Since she's covered for me a few times, I thought I would return the favor.Two weekends ago when I was in Cambridge, Linzy went down to Austin, MN for a bridal shower for Felicia. This one was a family shower, Linzy, Anita and Angela are throwing a 'friends' shower on the 10th.Linzy said the shower

I am sure by now that people may be tired about my endless back updates, but read on, this one is good!My primary care physician started me on a new medicine for chronic pain. They generally use this drug for diabetic neuropathy, so they do know that it is safe for people with diabetes which I also have. It is non-addictive and non-narcotic which is also a plus. I am very happy to say that the

Well, the news is not good.We saw the specialist 2 weeks ago and have been trying to make a decision on what to do. The specialist is with the U of M and a very good surgeon. He said that I have 2 options, live with the pain, or have a 2 level spinal fusion.Not exactly what I wanted to hear. If I live in pain there is a chance that in the future I can make my back worse by not having surgery.

Today I woke up at 7:30ish and went into the kitchen to see what the weather was like. Let me just say this, COLD! 25 Degrees cold!There was even a dusting of snow on the deck from the previous nights storm.Later this morning at around 9:30 I went to check to see if it had gotten any warmer, 27 degrees out. 2 whole stinkin degrees warmer!Now you may ask yourselves why I am complaining about this,

Last week Steve and I went on vacation in Brainerd, MN. Once our friends came up on Friday we went to Pirates Cove Mini Golf and Go-Cart park.All I have to say is that Go-Carts Rock! Although Steve managed to pass me almost immediately in order to compete with Mike to see who would come in first! Figures!

Yesterday Steve and I went to the renaissance festival with a bunch of friends. It was a great time, other than all the mud and rain!We left our place at about 11:30 and headed out in a drizzle. We got about 15 minutes down the road and it started to really come down.Now, most people would turn the car around and head back home as the Fest is all outdoors, and you park in a field and walk in.Not

Tonight we are headed to the Vikes Preseason Game against the Raiders.Steve and I usually go to one of the preseason games every year.It is usually a good time!Although we usually go to the third game as the starters play longer and it is usually more interesting!I am wondering how many plays the Raiders will put Randy Moss in for. I would guess maybe 1 or 2. But we will have to see!

Pippen's Exhausting Day:First, wake Mommy up after Daddy leaves for work at 6:50, 7am.Accomplish this by stuffing nose under bedroom door and making snuffling noises.If this does not work, start whining.After waking Mommy up, slowly waddle to our bed and lay down for the rest of the day. Every once in a while check to see that Mommy is behaving by craning head out of bed to check out the office.

I am sure by now people have heard about Guitar Hero.Steve bought the game and loves it! I on the other hand enjoy it, but am not in love with it.Anyways back to the title of this post. I thought that I would enjoy another game with the same kind of format, Karaoke Revolution. (Same format because it is an interactive music game.)Steve graciously let me whine about this game for a few days and

Steve posted this site: egosurf.org today on his blog.So of course I had to try.Here is my score: 1159I thought it was sad.Although I am the top result for Google. So there.

I had another MRI done in December that showed another herniated disc. This is the third time that this disc has herniated. disappointment set in. I thought for sure that this last surgery was going to work and fix the problems that I have been having for so long now. But it didn't. I made an appointment to see a spinal specialist on referral from my last surgeon. I made the appointment with a

As you can see, someone loves snow!!The day we left Duluth it snowed a ton, Pippen thought this was the best thing evar!Steve took this picture after she did crazy puppy laps around my grandparents house, the field, the gardens, up to the pond and anywhere she could think of to run!

A couple nights ago during dinner I asked my darling dumpling husband if he would get me a small glass of lemonade from the fridge.This is what the stinker brought me:A DIXIE CUP!As you can see there is a small blue glass sitting right next to it that would have been perfect!He thought he was so funny!!

Yesterday Steve and I went to a late lunch with Steves parents to celebrate my graduation and also to celebrate them singing in the Church Christmas production Gloria. Becky and Warren joined the Prince of Peace choir this year and have been working really hard at it. They had a crazy schedule of practices for the production. It started on Saturday the 10th and ended Sunday the 11th. All in

I know it's been a while! But I could not resist posting about Pippen (the neurotic doggy). As you can see in this photo the Pip decided that she really was not hungry, after dragging 4 kibbles out on the the carpet in an artistic manner. She has gotten into the habit of scarfing down kibble when we walk by the dish, take the vacuum over to pick up piggy crumbs that are everywhere, or anytime

So it is the second day of November and low and behold it is gorgeous outside.Other than the wind.But you cannot beat 70 degrees right now!At least that is what the weather channel says for Farmington.It makes me want to spend all day outside, even though I have way to much to do inside. (Like homework, cooking, laundry, oh yeah and that internship!)

Happy Halloween!Do you like my carving skills?Pippen Getting into the Halloween Spirit! All in all we had around 106 trick or treater's last night. We ran out of the first batch of candy and I had to have Steve run to the store to get more for the little beggars.I really enjoy Halloween. I love to see all the little kids in their costumes. They are so cute.

Steve and I were talking last night about how many of our friends/acquaintances are having babies.We came up with 5. In the span of 3 months.This is crazy!It's like when we went through the multiple weddings in a year. In the course of 4 months we had 6.My friend Laura is having her baby soon. She went in to start the induction process today and said she would hopefully be have the baby tonight

So I maybe forgot to post that I did get an A in the online class that I was taking. I received the email back from the instructor about the last assignment stating that mine would not be counted late. So there!! Still got an A. Hope I never have this many problems with an online class again!

Yesterday Steve left to go to the Washington D. C. area for an Oracle class.Today all Hell broke loose!Pippen decided that today we might go back to being a little sick. Thanks, Pip.Then the smoke alarm above the ledge in the kitchen decided it's battery did not want to work anymore. It went off shrieking madly every 5 minutes for about a minute at a time. I had to get the ladder, then stand on

Well, I am not as dedicated to my blog as Steve. I have to admit it is daunting to have to come up with a new post every single day. Plus I just was plain busy. My parents came for a visit over Labor Day weekend. It was a very nice visit. Even though Steve makes fun of my parents in his blog entry, I feel we had a good time. School is winding down. This week is when the big presentation and

Thursday Evening we went and bought new cell phones! Yeah! Mine was being pesty and would not hold the charge. We got really nice camera phones. I was teasing Steve while we were waiting for Dude to figure out how to ring up our phones that it will not take long and soon there will be scars on my phone. (From dropping, scrapping ect.) Well I proved myself right. Today on the afternoon walk

Yesterday I went to the Sprint Store in Apple Valley to check out new phones. The ones we have are 2.5 years old and mine will not hold a charge. I constantly have to charge it in order to use it. So while there I noticed that they had 2 Samsung camera phones for 49.99. They were cool looking and were a great deal. While pondering if I should just go ahead and get them, I decided to check with my

Ok, so I finally received my bills for the back surgery. Thinking that I would have a 250.00 inpatient copay I was surprised when I received bills for another outpatient back surgery I had the same day.WHAT?? My surgeon decided to admit me to the hospital for 2 days turning my back surgery into an inpatient stay. Then that same surgeon decided to get a little more money out of me and bill that

Just a short post today as I am getting crazy busy!I am hosting a Baby Shower for my friend Laura on Friday!I love to give parties, just ask Steve! I think they are a fun way to hang out with friends and not have to go to the Bar! I have been busy making decorations, ordering the cake and corsage for the Mommy to be, ordering balloons and deciding on the menu.We are having chips and dip, veggie

I currently have a project that I am doing for my online class. It has me making visuals for a section of a report to be handed in to a theoretical employer.First let me say that I hate Excel! This will get me moans and groans from my father-in-law and my husband. (They LOVE Excel.) I spent almost 2 whole hours just trying to figure out what type of graphs/charts to use for the visuals that I

Steve and I have finally figured out where we are going at the end of September! It looks like Boston!I love Boston. I have been there once when I was a senior in high school and we went on a trip with the orchestra. We did tons of stuff and played with the Boston Pops. It was amazing!We also hope to visit with Sarah and John who live in Hanover, NH. We have not been able to get out to them so I

Have you ever had a pet that spends most of the time laying around the house and sleeping? Well we have one and her name is Pippen the Slug.Pippen is 2 years old and has mellowed out quite a bit. The first year and a half were pretty hectic. Pippen was full throttle for most of that time. She would get into anything and then try to taunt you into chasing her for it. She would usually walk really

Last night I watched the new Phantom of the Opera. Steve went to the movies with friends and I stayed home as I cannot sit long enough to go to the theater.Overall I liked the new rendition, the music was great and some of the actors were good.Glad I did not go to the theater when it first came out though because it was just "OK."

Thank goodness that this salon was great! My stylist listened to what I wanted and everything went fine. Plus they were a little less expensive than the other salon. All in all a good choice.I know I said I would try to post a picture and here it is.This picture had to be taken the next day as I stopped at Walmart on my way home and had a very different experience. There was severe weather

I'll start this post out with a little background info. My mom is a hairdresser so I had been spoiled for 22 years. This is where all the whining about going to the salon comes from.When I moved to the cities to be with Steve I had to find salon here. It was to hard to drive home to Duluth when I needed a cut or a color. (I had tried this for the first year I lived in the cities.) Not to mention
