I admit it...I'm "Vein"

A few months ago, AC decided to buy a $600 rifle without telling me. (bad boy!) So I thought...hmmm. What can I do for MYSELF that is a little out of the ordinary. Since a boob job was way too expensive and I don't REALLY need one anyway (although AC may argue) I decided to check into Sclera Therapy which would take care of the awful spider veins that have invaded my legs with every pregnancy. I decided (with his permission) to have it done. It was pretty yucky to sit there for 30 min and have hundreds of shots injected into my legs but I thought it would be VERY worth it. The worst part, as some of my friends knew, was wearing these awful, TIGHT, ITCHY compression hose for a WEEK after. I had 2 seperate treatments which meant I had to have the exact yucky procedure done twice within a couple of month period. I just kept thinking this would be worth it since I would have new "vein free" legs. Especially in time for our trip to Hawaii with the kids. Well, other than a lot of bruising, I wasn't noticing much difference throughout the months and was getting a little nervous. I went in last week for my follow-up and the Dr. said hmmmm....it doesn't look like too much change, huh? I wanted to cry since I had spent $600 on NOTHING. He said in 90% cases they have great results but EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE they don't. Well, just my luck to part of that 10%. He told me I would probably need a couple more treatments. I am in a dilema and that is my reason for sharing this with you. Should I spend MORE $ and go through more pain to get results. At least my $600 would go towards something or should I just accept my yucky legs and quit being so "VEIN"?

I am a Lonely Blogger

I am feeling kind of lonely in the blogging world. I don't even know if ANYONE will read this since I only have 2 people on my list and one of them is my sister who I talk to anyway. Maybe I am just feeling sorry for myself because nobody is looking at my blog or commenting on my blog. I get up everyday excited to check out my blog to see if ANYONE has commented and I am disappointed over and over again. I am deciding that this blogging thing isn't all it's cracked up to be unless you are a part of AMY's world. I am on the outside looking in. BOO HOO!!!

I am actually TOTALLY kidding. I am just trying to gain sympathy comments! Afterall, those are better than NO COMMENTS AT ALL!!!!

What a Week I Had!!! Does Anybody Care?

I had the best week last week! On Tuesday I spent the WHOLE day with my 2 sisters! It was so special since that only happens about once a year. Tara came up for the day and that night all of us went out to dinner. (Brothers and all!) I have posted a picture of all us. Then to top it off, Amy came and stayed with me until Saturday. I haven't had so much fun in a LONG time. We ate out TONS which is always fun for me. We shopped. We played with the kids and we just spent time TOGETHER which is something Amy and I haven't done in a long time.

Amy, you are so awesome and such a great example to me of a truly HAPPY person. You are so loving and generous and sweet and I could go on and on. It's times like this that I am actually GLAD you live in Chicago because if you didn't, I would NEVER get you to have a slumber party at my house for an entire week. Oh yeah, we even bought matching pajamas. I wish I would've gotten a picture!!
