A 16 Month Wait.....And Well Worth It!

After waiting 12 months for the actual show and a cancellation/rescheduling another 4 months, Mom finally got to see Celine Dion. I got tickets in October 07 for her that Christmas knowing she would have to wait until the next October for the show but I knew she would love it.

Talk about an entertainer! She has more energy than any toddler, more facial expressions anyone I've ever seen and a voice to die for. Hands down this was the best show I have ever been to. Mom and I couldn't get over how great she sounds live.

Mom's friend Marsha and her girls came up also and we all had dinner before the show. Too bad we weren't sitting next to each other.

Watching Mom I think she enjoyed it. I was a lot of fun to take her even though she had to leave Grandma to do so. Grandma was quite jealous!

Today was my Friday the 13th

This morning I packed up and went down to my garage to head to the the hospital to see Grandma. When I got in my car I started it and realized I could hear outside. I looked back to see that my car had been broke into and my back window was missing. What the $&@#!

When the Sandy police officer arrived he looked at the damage and couldn't get over how they used a crow bar and tried to pry open my back window and not just break a window. When they did that the window shattered. I hope it shattered in their faces!

And what did the jack@%&'s get? My emergency kit.....that's it. They grabbed the emergency kit and took off. I took it in to the body shop and it's going to be a while before I get Maggie the Mountaineer back. When you first look at the car it doesn't look too bad but they screwed up the whole back door, fenders and bumper of my car.....ugh.

Now my insurance will go up and I get to pay a deductible just because someone else felt more entitled to my emergency kit. I work hard for my things and they need to as well!

The cute kid at the rental car company felt bad for me and didn't want to put me in car that insurance would pay for. He talked to his manager and got me a Nissan Frontier (4x4 truck) instead of a Kia Spectra for the same price. Such a sweet guy!

All I can say to you thieves out there is KARMA. It will come back to get you! THIEVES SUCK!

Minus a Couple Chompers

On Thursday I had my top wisdom teeth out. I had my bottom ones out when I was 18 so I thought I was out of the woods. Dad took me and was dead convinced it would take longer than it did. From when we walked in to when we got back in the truck was only 40 minutes. Gotta love general anesthesia! I loved waking up and having it over and done with. Dad was so sweet and stopped and got me some things I needed and my prescriptions. How cute is this little guy?!? He brought it out and said it was for me to hug.

Mom came over after work and stayed with me that night as you're not supposed to be alone for 12 hours after going under. She babysat Roo at my house on Friday and we both got to fawn over her. It wasn't too bad as it was only the 2 of us as normally we are fighting over her.

I healed amazingly with only a sore jaw as of now. If anyone is in need of good oral surgeon then call David Smoot. He is the best!

Mom and Dad are so good to their spinster daughter!
