This picture is from our Sunday School class Halloween party, circa 1987. We were supposed to come as famous couples. We were Mr. & Mrs. Lot --- post the destruction of Sodom & Gomorrah (for those not familiar with that story -- Mrs. Lot looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt). Jim took me in on a dolly saying, "Oy vey, I told her not to look back!". I cannot express how much I miss him. We had a great time together.
Well, I went to another doctor today. I liked him. He told me that it IS my rotator cuff. It's not torn but it's very agitated. I know how it feels. I'm very agitated that it's still bothering me and that the last doctor didn't know what it was. So today was a first -- I got my first steroid shot. Yikes! I hope it starts working soon. So far I don't notice a change. He said it might take a couple of days to feel a difference. If it's not better in 6 weeks I go for another shot. Double yikes.
Today I went with two friends, M & S, to see a movie at M's request: "Nim's Island".
Let me just say that M owes S & me 2 hours of our lives back. I dozed through some of it, though not enough of it. We're not quite sure yet how she's going to make up for those 2 lost hours, but she will. Undoubtably.
Here's how pathetic my life is at the moment (other than the fact that Son #2 has once again flip-flopped and now hates me because I'm sending him to military school. He lives to make me miserable ... to show me that my love for him is never enough. Some days August cannot come too soon.) -- the highlight of my day was buying a kitchen trash can and a new shower caddie. I know --- it's difficult not to be jealous, isn't it?
Sigh ... someone has to live the high life.
Speaking of the high life, Son #1 changed his "pretend" college project Christmas list. Now I get a pearl and diamond necklace from Mikimoto (whoever the heck that is). It's only $850 (a step up from the afore-mentioned automatic pet feeder). Someone seems to be doing some major sucking-up. Major.
That makes his first year "budget" come in right at $58,000.00. I think the air on his planet is very, very thin.
All I know is he'd better find a very rich, desperate-to-be-married girl at that snobby school he's going to. Somebody has to pay for that pretty necklace!

T and C want to go see Mim's Island- They have been begging me to take them since they saw the first preview. I was going to ask if you wanted to go see it with us this weekend?? I'm guessing not!!! Now I think I will try to find a way out of that one! Who's up for Horton (again?).
I love your costumes!that is such a clever idea!I have heard you tell of that party and your costumes but I had not seen the picture. It made me smile.
I miss seeing you, seems like forever.
Maybe its because I usually see Susan at her apartment in New York and you live here? ;)
Or, maybe its because you were in Oklahoma? whatever the reason- we need to visit!
Miss you, Love you, K
Trash can?? Shower caddy?? Hmmmfff! I got the "amazing handheld glow-in-the-dark bug zapper" (runs on 2 AA batts)today...beat that! Talk about living the high life! Your brother doesn't pull any punches babe...like he always tells me he's "in the Air Force...he's loaded!"
;P
love you

Awwww...son #1 is a gem! (pun intended!) "It's the thought"...ummm...yeah.
Well, I finally found the lamb a home. Whew! That thing was SOOOO noisy! I'll tell you, if you think the kittens are bad, you should really try having a lamb in diapers running around your house! He did flips over the dogs, had a hey-day looking at himself in a mirror, and learned to play my guitar with his nose! The Boxer was NOT amused though and he got fed up and chomped the poor little guy in the head. Sheez! What does a little head-butting hurt anyway?
So what did you hate about Nim's Island? The girls have really been bugging me to take them. (Although Savannah would much rather see Rambo!)I guess I'm going to have to put it off until it comes out on video. (Should I say "until it comes out on DVD"? I must be getting old....)
Did I tell you that Tosh and I are going to Mexico next month? I cannot wait! My mom and Cheyenne will be here taking care of the girls and all of the animals. I'm pretty sure that my little toy Australian Shepherd is going to have a nervous breakdown with me gone for that long. The Newfoundland wont care...he's just a big rug, the Border Collie is happy as long as someone throws a stick once or twice a day...and the Boxer will be happy because he can sleep in our bed! Yup. I have FOUR dogs. I know....
but you have SIX kids! ;)
I got a letter back from my little girl in Kenya! She's adorable and I'm so excited to be able to help her:)
Okay...that's my novel for the night. Please give everyone my love. (Including D & M. "HELLO you two!"
I love you J. I'm thinking about you every single day!

Lis,
The movie wasn't horrible --- just a bit on the boring side for me. I'm sure the girls would love it (and so would you because it has animals in it!).
Have fun in Mexico! I'm jealous!!! Please tell your Mom and your Dad and Marilyn hi for me. I haven't heard from them in quite a while. I hope all is well.
Love you, sis!!!
xoxoxoxo
Yay! I'm SOOOO excited! I actually got a response from you:) I'll tell everyone hi for you. They read your blog every day too.
BY the way...you're a pretty cute pillar of salt!
Love you tons,
Lis

That costume is amazing - and very creative!
I had steroid shots for my hip injury in high school - they didn't help me (the hip joint is just too deep to be helped much by those), but my swimming friends with shoulder rotator cuff injuries said they helped a lot. I hope it brings you some relief (to your shoulder, anyway).
