I guess I'll start back in Feb. one of the highlights of the month was I coordinated a "pre-reunion" get together with all my old high school friends. BOY OH BOY! I had a blast! It was as if we were in school yesterday. My friend Liza.. I haven't seen her in 23 years! It was WONDERFUL to catch up and share stories of what we used to do at her house after school.. and what everyone else did at her house after school. Tara (& Jim), Susan, Alida, Lianne, Suzanne, Kim, Jason, Amy(s), Frank, Patricia, Paul A., Colin, Patrick, Peter P., Peter C., Jen, Paul W., Marc, Derek & Darren, Sophia, Rick, Johnny S.... I think I covered everyone. I wish the place was a little bigger and that we had a "room" just for ourselves. I can't wait to do it again.. this SUMMER!!! Here are a few pictures ..
This was taken IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET when we got there.. a car was WAITING for us to move to get by.. but we had to wait for the flash to go off!!!
those are some of my favorites :-)
So.. let's see... the week after the reunion.. Jack was away in CA all week.... I enjoyed another little girls night here.. nice, low key... fun.
The first weekend in March I went to see the Vagina Monologues at the Wilton Town Hall it was pretty intense. My friend Susie was one of the readers, it was a great performance. Sadly, many people aren't aware of the violence plaguing women in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which was one of the aspects covered in these monologues.
As Addy continues to GROW like a WEED, I HAPPILY CONTINUE to "sell" my baby items!!! I enjoy the pocket money I've been collecting :-)
Other than that.. I hurt my back last month. Was in SEVERE pain.. was on steroids for a week, they didn't work. Ended up taking a muscle relaxer along with an anti-inflammatory medication which when taken together.. WORKED WONDERS!!! ALTHOUGH, I had severe stomach pains from the HOLE the was being made in my GUT from the anti-inflammatory medication. Thank GOD, I only needed to take it for a week - then I felt "good as GOLD"... I had an MRI this past Tuesday.. UGH! Clasutrophobia + MRI = DISASTER... EVEN WITH VALIUM! :-(... It was TOUGH.. but after the 3rd time I freaked out and had them pull me out... I FINALLY was able to sit in that DAMN machine for 30 minutes...WHEW.. The results... 1) I have a "mass or cyst" on my left side that needs to be followed up with my gynecologist by way of ultrasound. 2) I have 2 bulging discs that aren't "bad" enough to warrant surgery. So, I'll just have to do my exercises and stretches I've learned in my months of PT to keep a somewhat healthy back. TODAY, compared to 3 weeks ago.. I'd consider my back significantly HEALED. I just have to TAKE IT EASY. Poor Jack.. I'd just cry on and off because the pain was SOOOOO unbearable.
There is a new bread store in town.. THE GOOD LOAF.. and BOY .. IT IS GOOD. I stop there weekly. Here is a picture of Addy enjoying their "famous" baguette:
Other than that, it's been typical week to week stuff... school, dance, school, play dates, school, dance, library, school, shopping... etc.. YOU GET THE IDEA .
I'd like to get to watching my 5th Season of Curb Your Enthusiasm .. so.. PEACE
