Come have a seat
Adam and I are finally getting our new furniture. Its not the Pottery Barn stuff I had originally picked out but I liked it much better. We are getting a Broyhill couch, loveseat, and swivel rocker chair. I am beyond excited! It should be here the first week in November and everyone is invited to come have a seat! We dont have room for everything in our small living room so we are going to store the loveseat until we have a bigger place, which will hopefully be in a few years!
This is my couch. The loveseat will match it.
This is my chair. Adam said it kind of looks grandma-ish but I dont care! I think it looks country and it matches all of my other decor.

#1 I have to clean my house in order. Dishes first, then pile the dirty clothes, then clean the bathroom, then dust the furniture..first the wood then the electronics, then dust mop hardwood, then orange glow hardwood, then sweep the carpets…in this order; living room, rug, spare bedroom, kitchen, then fold clothes and put them away. If any one helps and it gets done out of order I wait until they leave and then start over. No one ever helps me 
#2 When I am in charge of medication at work I have to write down everything I have to give and the time to give it. Each is placed in a certain spot on my paper (even though it is all listed out on the computer) I then highlight oral meds and accu checks in yellow, piggybacks in pink, respiratory treatments in green, Saline locks or IV restarts in blue, and important info in orange.
#3 It gives me anxiety attacks if my house is out of order and not picked up but the inside of my car looks like an atom bomb went off inside of it.
#4 I can not eat chicken that is not white meat and has not had the fat and veins picked out. If Im not sure if the chicken has been prepared this way I will pick at it until I get the “good” pieces out and then give the rest to Piper.
#5 I straighten my hair every day just to pull it up in a pony tail.
#6 I can not stand pimples, whether they are on me or someone else. It takes every fiber of self control I have to keep myself from reaching out and popping them on peoples faces…even random people!
Yes, I am a very anal person.
Specialist
For a 25 year old, I see more specialists and doctors than anyone I know! I have my family doctor, my gynecologist, my reproductive endocrinologist, my dentist, my oral surgeon, and now I have my periodontist. I had my routine dental appointment today and was referred to a periodontist. About 5 years ago I had a benign tumor removed from between two of my back teeth. The tumor kept coming back and wouldnt heal so in the end it ended up being surgically removed twice and cleaned out multiple times. My dentist has been keeping an eye on the bone lose and today they informed me that it has begun to worsen. My bone is at the absolute maximum lose that can still be treated without losing my teeth. So now Im seeing another specialist to save my teeth. My insurance will pay 50% of whatever procedure they do so Im praying its nothing to invasive. They can not replace the bone that has already been lost but my dentist thinks if they put in a graft of my gums that it will help slow or even stop the progression. The other option is that my tumor is starting to return and I will have to have more surgery which will probably end in me losing my back two teeth anyway. Its so frustrating because I am so anal about taking care of my teeth and always have been. I know people who could care less about their teeth, brush once a day if that, and still have all their teeth without problems. I go to my dentist twice a year like your supposed to, I brush my teeth twice a day if not more, I get my flouride treatments and my xrays, and yet I still have issues. I just dont understand how someone who cares so much about her health has ended up with so many issues requiring specialists. Ive decided that at the beginning of each year I should just send in my entire detuctable to my insurance companies because I end up paying for it all and then some every year anyway! I would love to go one month without seeing a doctor or two or three! Well now that Im good and frustrated/stressed Im going to clean my house. That seems to be one of the only things that can take my mind of all my issues and help me relax.
I promise
Last night on the VMA awards the band the Jonas Brothers were put down repeatedly for choosing to wearing a “promise ring” stating that they would remain pure until they were married. Here is a band who many young people, including my youngest sister, really look up to. What a great example for such a famous group to put out their for our youth, yet instead of society looking at it this way and the music industry applauding them for trying to change the image of pop culture they are putting them down and showing young children that its not “cool” to save yourself. Granted, Jordan Sparks, another pop singer, stood up and said that there was nothing wrong with wearing a promise ring but then went onto say “because not everyone wants to be a slut”. Horray for her standing up for her peers but boo for the jab and unneeded comment at the end. Its not about whether you choose to sleep around or not its about choosing Christ and wanting to live a life of purity to glorify Him. Its about wanting to tell you husband or wife that they were on your minds from before you knew them and that you wanted them to know they were the a precious gift from God. Its heartbreaking and frustrating to me. No wonder its becoming increasingly hard for our youth to know which way to go when they are getting such mixed messages. And no wonder its becoming increasingly hard for the youth who do choose to wait to keep that promise when they are constantly being bombarded about how wrong their decision is. I pray that the Jonas Brothers are able to stand their ground in the face of adversity and continue to set such a strong example, for my sisters sake and for the sake of the millions of tweens and teens who listen to them!
NKOTB…IS BACK!!!
I just took a step by step back in time to when everything was the right stuff! I was 8 years old, sitting on my NKOTB bed spread (with the sheets and pillow cases) wearing my NKOTB tee shirt, playing with my NKOTB barbies and listening/singing to my NKOTB tape. I remember begging and pleading for my parents to let me go see them at the grandstand and being completely devastated when I was told no. I remember buying every back to school product that had their face on it. I remember turning the volume up in my moms van everytime their song came on the radio and then rolling down the window and jamming like I was the coolest person on the block!
The Kids have come out with a new CD and even though they aren’t the teeny boppers they used to be they are still the coolest!! Im so excited about this amazing news that I can hardly contain myself! They sang a song from their new album and then Step by Step on The View this morning and I had to to sing along! I amaware that this probably makes me the biggest dork in the world but I dont care! I will buy the CD when it is released and I may just have to roll down my car window and jam or get my barbies out of my grandmas attic and have my own concert
