Tonight, I decided to have a little fun shopping trip by myself. It was my own, "lindsay fun day"... I decided to go to Kohl's, and then go to Ross. I went to Kohl's and it was okay, but I didn't find any good deals.
So I went to Ross. Now, I do not need to say what Ross I actually went to, because all Ross's are the same! For instance, You always walk in and there is the "Lost Prevention" vested guy, by the shopping carts with a fake walkie talkie and ear piece. There is a lot of spanish going on in the store, to the point, when they make an announcement on the speaker, they always happen to say it in spanish. One time, Eric and I went in Ross and they happened to be playing "Hey Jude" in spanish rendition... Now, I do not complain, because for the prices, I can handle a little diversity.
Also, whenever you walk into the dressing room, there is ALWAYS 2 friends giggling about outfits, and there is always a baby crying at the top of their lungs.
I had a lot of fun tonight. I also went to Target, where I made my big purchase of body wash, and icing decorating kit. Altogether, It was a great night. Oh, I also went to TJ Max, and got a dog collar for Dix, for 3 bucks. It looks more like her. Anyways happy Easter!

drama...
I feel like I need to tell you of my latest drama, because I think Eric is sick of hearing about it. Today, I got to work, and noticed the worst pain in my left arm. It hurt so bad, that I could barely type. Now when I searched "Left" and "arm pain" it came with up with many ideas... I noticed that it could be... a heart attack, gangrene, or carpal tunnel syndrome... OF course! It all makes sense now, its probably carpal tunnel syndrome. After coming to that conclusion, I was excited to tell Eric that may be the cause, and how I didn't automatically go to the worse case scenario (Heart attack or gangrene).
I told him that I believe I have carpal tunnel syndrome, and he just started laughing. He said, there is no way I could have that, cause it takes repetitive motion for a long time, like "decades". Now, I knew this, because I of course researched it on wikipedia.com. But I told him, that I probably got it faster because I type all day, and I reach over to the "shift bar" alot. He then rolled his eyes, and begged me not to tell anyone but him.
In case you are wondering, my arm still is tender. I have taken some IB prophen, so hopefully I can go back to my normal life. Poor Eric....

The Post Office
Eric and I went yesterday to the post office to drop off our taxes. I have not been to the post office in a while. I walked into the post office, and stood in line, I couldn't help but notice that all post offices are the same. There are always 5 stations, but only 1 person working, and 2 if you are lucky. As I was waiting, I couldn't help but think, "And these people will run our health care." After standing in line forever, we finally got helped.
We happened to get the lady whose uniform is skin tight (I'm sure they wouldn't be flattering on anyone), and with a ponytail down her whole back , and I couldnt help but wonder when the last time she actually got a "trim". We got the normal questions, asking what type of postage, things like that. But I had no idea, all the extra add on questions they ask. I felt like they were trying to sell me an Old Navy Credit Card...she asked if we needed extra stamps, insurance, and if we needed a receipt to show that we sent in our taxes, and to guarantee it will be sent. Eric, said that he would. The worker than informed him it would be an extra $2.80 (PER ENVELOPE)! Eric turned to me, saying, "Shouldn't it be guaranteed anyway?" I then said, "No we should be okay" (IN a morris pursed lips way).
As we left the post office we did notice that she charged us anyway for the confirmation receipt. I told Eric, "It was so not worth going back and getting that cleared up." As I sit here tonight, I cant help but think, What is this world coming to?

Orange Crisis
I think I have a problem... I am addicted to oranges. December time is when i started to get hooked. I have cleaned out all the good ones at Fresh Market. (sorry whit, I know you shop there..) It has gotten to be a problem. I eat to about 4 each day, and sometimes average 6 a day.
Yesterday, I had heartburn really hard, and I couldn't figure out why, then it hit me... THE ORANGES. I had to google, "Oranges" and "heartburn" in the search engine, and apparently a lot of people feel my pain...Literally. I dont think many people understand, how good those "Chilean Oranges" are! They are so sweet, and so easy to peel.
Dr. Teynor once told me the definition of normal..., that its not normal, when it gets in the way of living... Well it has gotten in the way, for sure. I have had really bad heartburn for days, and tums aren't working!
i know i need to change my diet, I just need to cut back on the oranges. Today was an all time low though... I had my third orange while on break at work, and I noticed a fruit fly that wouldn't leave me alone, after I ate it. That's when I knew, I need to stop. Stupid fruit fly...
I had to do this comic just for Marne'... this is funny, because they only live for a day... LOVE IT

More Dixie
There is a few times where I walk in the room, and Eric is talking to Dixie like a person. I hear their conversation, and when I "interrupt", I find it very awkward. The other day I walked into the kitchen when Eric was telling Dixie, " If you can talk, blink your eyes twice." In the same conversation, he added, " I know you can talk dixie, I promise I won't tell anyone." Eric claimed that Dixie blinked twice.
Eric and I always try to figure out what Dixie is doing in her room, while we are gone. We have come up with many ideas of what she is "doing", for example:
Play poker with the other neighborhood dogs, break dancing, yoga, hopscotch, working out to P90x, scrapbooking, etc.( We might have too much time on our hands, but if you have any suggestions, on what you think dixie is doing in her free time, let me know!)
Eric has informed me, that Dixie would be more productive if she had "thumbs". This would be the answer to dog problems, if dixie had thumbs. She could open the door knob and let herself outside. He thinks, that she would be more independent, if only Dixie could grow some thumbs. I am so sick of hearing about the "Thumb Theory!" Anyway, don't be suprised if one day, Dixie comes to visit with implant thumbs. Have a good one everybody!

A few things....
Just a few minutes ago, I woke up from a scary nightmare. The type that you have to hurry and turn on the light. Nightmares are so stupid, and I don't understand why we have to have them. Maybe it could be because I'm reading a book called, "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter." That is probably it.
Or maybe it is because I went to work today, and sometimes have to call "Parasitology and Fecal" for some technical questions again. I do have to call a lot of different labs to get answers for clients, which is just fine. I have found, that when I call over to the Fecal lab, the people that run it, are crazy. Let me put it this way, who would get their doctorate in fecal matters... Well I am just happy there is people out there, but let just say, that they are not the normal-ist of people.
I have had the weirdest calls while working for a lab. Sometimes patient calls about their results. ( we deal with more hospitals and doctors ), so when a patient calls, it is quite fun. The other day, a patient called wanting to know how long certain drugs stay in her system, so she can take a drug screen for work. I tried helping her out, I mean at least the drug dealer wants to work...it's hard to find a job these days.
Well, I know its been kind of random thoughts, but I must go back to reading my Vampire hunter book. See ya!

Wrong side of the bed...
I thought I would list some things that I really don't like... Milk, wet paper towels, a shoe chewed up by your dog, bills, laundry, dixie's evil twin, when people say "hubby", waiting for your food in the microwave, all these michael jackson tributes, scratched dvd's, bad dreams, my alarm clock, biggest loser's "branding" (taking time to do a commercial during the show), tailgaters, red lights, slow internet, coughing fits, water weight, spiders...etc
Feel free to add your own! I really am in a good mood, but thought about venting, anywho, Have a good one everybody!
