I chose the road less traveled by #32

For Some reason he got it in his head that 24 hours advance notice was enough! I laid into him about that, in a nice calm way of course. He thinks the girls like each other but I can tell you on my girls end, there is no love lost. I did a quick check with D11 to see if she wanted to go and she said NO Way!! So I guess now he is just going to take them tomorrow as planned but is telling me to pick up the girls on Sunday night in his town. Whatever!

Ostrich-people....

Anyway, wanted to say thank you again for your "warning" about getting to the dermatologist - I went today and had two biopsies taken. It will take 2 weeks.
I also seem to have gotten a fungal thing on one little toenail from a past pedicure - its not just the tools that you have to be sure are sterilized, but that they run the tubs THROUGH with bleach (old water stays in the pipes and infects the next person). Yuck.

You guys have too much fun over here!

Kat - sorry ex is being a pain. Good for you about putting your foot down and speaking up. 24 hrs is no notice at all during the school year and with you working.

He is just still so delusional. Thinks everything needs to fall into place based on what he wants.

Donna, I hope everything turns out ok. Did they say what they thought it might be? I know with mine I kept thinking if they are pretty sure they know what it is, why don't they just take it out? Ex actually had a point, since he has worked with insurance for a while. He said if they didn't do the biopsy to confirm it was cancer, the insurance company could come back and say I had the "spot" removed for cosmetic reasons.

Me and my Avenno SPF30 are getting along pretty well thanks.

So I spent the day at a regional meeting. Actually it was a lot of fun. We had to do the dreaded stand up and talk about yourself and then the threw a twist in...say something we don't know about you. Kind of old here but I mentioned the cancer as a heads up to them. It was good because a couple people asked some questions and then came up and talked to me later. Me and my soap box! lol

Never hurts to raise awareness!

Aveeno is great stuff. It's one of the best rated products for lowest rates of carcinogenic ingredients, ingredients like heavy perfumes that can cause allergies, etc. I am in love with their basic lotion.

LOVE Aveeno moisturizer. It is the best I've ever used.

Definitely good to share your experience with others. If it convinces one person to have something checked then you could have saved a life!

I am having to work on my self-appraisal for work. Haven't I done enough reflection to last a few years??!! lol Then the fact that it covers a whole year but what you have done recently sticks out. Sadly, I have been a bit burned out. Ugghhh

I hate self-appraisals. Or writing resumes. Or anything that requires me to try and make myself sound good. I mean, I know I am good at some things, and that I have good qualities, but it just irks me to try and promote myself like that.

Don't be too hard on yourself. You have had a ton of stuff going on. I am sure there is plenty of good stuff to write about nonetheless!

Oh, I saw one thing on the list(in almost every catagory) that maybe I didn't do so well and mentioned that. I try to be honest and not just blow my horn. Sometimes I wish I had a pair of rose colored glasses that I could look at me with! lol I tend to be fairly critical of myself. Either way it financially will be better than last year as there was a wage freeze, but now it has been lifted. Yippee!!

Now if I could just be super critical about my house. Somethings I have just let go. Tired of constant battles over the tiniest things. I just need to get the house in shape so we can then all work on the status quo.
