Could I possibly?

This, is what may or may not be greeting me every morning when I wake up Nachito. There is no doubt in my mind that every little boy is born with a gene. A gene that makes them want to at some point own something like the above. Some opt for a frog, I could handle. Some, opt for a snake, no possible way. Then there are the ones that want a lizard, excuse me....DRAGON. A bearded dragon. That is what this is, a bearded dragon.

I was waiting for this day to come, it actually came about three months ago. He's researched...he has taken the trip to the pet shop to LOOK at them, he has plead his case numerous times. We have researched, we have plead our case numerous times. He won't let this go. We (Buddy) included can not for any moment come in contact with this supposably friendly lizard/dragon. "I will feed him, I will clean his habitat, I will do everything, I promise!" That is what he is promising. I am having an anxiety attack at this very moment, just imaging walking down the hall and coming face to face with ? I say ?, because who knows what his name would be. I am sure, that he would be very creative with a name.

Three months ago, we prolonged this encounter with the promise that if we bought him some fish, and he took care of them, we would consider the, the....dragon. Well, with the exeption of two of his six fishes they are alive and well. He has fed them, he has named them, he has kept them alive.

"What if I buy him with my own money?" Well, his little green camouflauge wallet has been getting thicker, and thicker. He opened up his Halloween envelopes last weekend and quickly added them to his growing wallet. He has a birthday coming up on Saturday, he knows that more envelopes are to follow. By gosh, he lost two teeth in one night, could it get any worse?Any day now, he will be able to afford this lizard/dragon. What then?

That is when I ask, could I possibly?

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

Good things come to those who wait...

I was having one of those bad Mondays. One of those Mondays when everything seems to be going wrong. 1. Our phones at the office are not working. 2. Statements went out over the weekend and angry patients are calling to complain. 3. My coffee got cold and I had to throw it away, and now I have a caffeine headache. 4. My cell phone has been tied up all day because I'm having our calls forwarded to it. (good thing for rollover minutes). 5. My boss has just added two more things to my darker pink "TODO" notebook. And just as I was about to roll up in a ball and hide under my desk, I got this e-mail. Dear Kindle Customer, Today, we introduced Kindle 2, the next generation of our wireless reading device.

Where do I begin???

After a long absence from my blog, I am finally sitting down to post. So much has happened in the past month that I honestly don't know where to begin. December 23, 2009 turned my world upside down. My mom suffered a minor heart attack, and was taken by ambulance to Chandler Regional Hospital. When I arrived, she was in good shape, and she was talking. They ordered a CT Scan of her chest. When she got back to the ER from her test, every thing that could have gone wrong, did. She suffered another heart attack, this one was much worse. She was in-tubated and things were not looking very good for her. The next few days were spent waiting for tests to be run, consulting with Dr.s and praying. A lot of praying. We were finally told that she would need to undergo a quadruple bypass. There was a problem with that, because she was in critical condition. Her kidneys were failing, her blood pressure was to high, as was her blood sugar. And, she was to weak. The surgeon said that we would ...
