Doctor, Daughters, and Doggy

So, I've been off from work now for about a month because of this Anxiety/Stress/Heart issue and just found out that my Doctor forgot to send in the paperwork to my insurance company so that I could get paid for Short Term Disability while I'm out. Now the dumb #$%$ is on vacation for two weeks and I'm halfway through my savings. Just goes to figure that when things go bad, they go realllly bad.

Well my two evil daughters loved there Easter, we had the requisite egg hunt, and they received their new Bikes. We had a great time of it, this year rather than cooking a huge meal we all decided to go out to our local fancy resteraunt and let them do the dishes for the night. The food was great, the kids behaved, and jokes were told. I think we should do the eat out thing more often.

Jecynda, however, is home from school for a few days with Broncitus (sp?) and even sick she still has the energy of 15 of me.

Well, it's spring, and spring brings water and water brings a wet dog. Every single time I take Winter out for a walk, she gets to the bridge, looks back at me with those wide innocent brown eyes, and jumps in the river. Normally this wouldn't bother me but wet dog on a muddy trail = muddy car seats on the trip home. At least this time the beaver decided not to show itself and cause my lab to try and navigate herself across the fast current of the river to chase it.

On a political note, the US has decided not to allow us Canadians to use our Passports if we want to cross the border by land. They have it in their heads that "special" identification cards are the solution, yet, they can't seem to agree on what the cards will ultimately do or how they will be authenticated.

I'm at the point now where I think Canadians (Business/Individual) should just not bother visiting the US until Bush is out of office. He's a twit. Of course, the lady that I'm currently involved with is an american and lives just across the border...DOH!!

Anyways, I'm not sure they are aware that you have to go through a very thorough screening to acquire a passport, denying entry to those that use our passports is downright rediculous.

Tattoo Experience

Well, I did it. With the moral support of two of my best friends I went in today to get my tattoo. It took about 2.5 hours and it looks AMAZING!!!.

I'm going to take a picture of it and post it on my blog later. Can't take the bandage off for a few hours. For those of you that don't have one because you fear the pain...didn't hurt much at all to be honest. I had my self freaked right out, but when he started, there was really nothing to it.

The only time it became sore was when "Billy - The tattoo artist" took a quick smoke break. When he came back and started working on it again, that was a bit tender, hehe. I'm most likely going to get another one in a few months or so, I'm extremely impressed with the work he did.

These guys are brilliant artists, I really never took much notice before, I always thought that tattoos were just traced on, but to be honest, there is alot to it. And the skill and talent of some of these guys is just amazing. I went through some of the work he had done previously and it really just blew my mind how detailed and unbelievable some of the images were.

And I didn't cry once. hehe.

On a seperate note, I've decided to not purchase the Mustang GT V8. I'm going to hold off a bit. For the record though: I LOVE THAT CAR!
