BUSY TIMES

I have been away from here for a while and I apologize! Its been pretty busy.

I have been to the dentist, then to a cat scan place across town to see how my jaw is. He has told me my teeth over the next year are going to cost thirty thousand dollars. THIRTY THOUSAND!!! And you know what? The day he finishes will be the day I have a heart attack or something and die. At least I will have fantastic teeth in my casket. Not sure if I am going to do it or not.

Both Bill and I went to the doctor. He has COPD (emphazima) and my blood pressure is 190 over 90. So now we have to do things to make that better. For Bill it means going to the gym and for me it means either going to the gym and losing 100 pounds or go see a specialist. I would rather cut my eyeballs out than go to a specialist so this just might be the motivation I need. We figure Bill got COPD from second hand smoke and allergies. Poor guy. But he will for sure outlive it!!

We have been to Oakridge, Apple store, four times in the last couple of weeks (have I even been home that long?) Bought new ones, fixed old ones etc.....had lunch in a sea of Asians....which is totally awesome because the food in the food court is so delicious. Wait!! Thats NOT good. No more eating for me.

Somewhere in here, after the cat scan, I had Bill drop me off at Aryn's and she took me to lunch. Mmmmmmm noodle soup. We had a fabulous visit and caught up on all things needing caught up on. She then drove me home!

On Tuesday night Jay and Christine took Bill and I out to a fantastic dinner in Cloverdale in a place called the Vault. Its a converted old bank and we actually had the table in the for real old vault. It is just big enough for a roomy table and we got premium service and a fantastic meal. Christine was as entertaining as usual!! and Jay was his usual interesting sweet self. We really had the best evening with them.

On the way out, we swung by Cheryl and Bill's for an hour (right at their dinner time too bless them) and had a wonderful visit. I could just sit and listen to Cheryl all day. And between the two of us, the two Bills had no choice but to just sit there and shut up and let Cheryl and myself rip. Hahahaha!!!

This weekend we are heading up to Kamloops. I really need to see my mom. Its been way way too long. Plus I really want to see my family. We had a nice visit with Stan the other night but it was too short. And, dumb me, I gather that its Grey Cup weekend. Bill and I are not into the football at all and didn't even know!

I still don't have any pics to post on this computer. That will change this weekend! So I shall be posting a little more from now on. TTYL
