Something Funny:

I got on my home scale the other day and it read 238.5.  I know my hair extensions weigh 1.5 lbs because I weighed the bad before I had them put in!  I also know that the scale at the doctors office is about 2.1 lbs less than my scale at home!  I told Steven (my darling husband, who happens to be Caucasian and doesn't know a whole lot about the weight of extension hair...) that if I didn't have my "Her did" and I was on the scale at the WLS office, I would weigh 234.9!  He stared at me and said mildly, "Yep."

So, I had two options at this point.  I could have gotten mad or I could have used this as a mini training session.  Now, since I was in a good mood because of  the whole scale thing, I didn't have the heart to fuss, so I took the opportunity to gently guide my 4 years younger husband on how he should have responded to this good news by saying,

"Whaaaaaat???!  No Way!  Shut up!  That's Cool!"  

We both started laughing and he corrected himself by immediately saying, "That is cool, honey."  Mission accomplished.

Something That Sucks:

I called my insurance company the other day to find out if they had gotten my paperwork.  They claimed they had not.  Then I said my main focus in making the call was to find out when to start counting my 7 days.  She asked me, in so many words, "WTF?"  I said that I was told it would take about 7 days for a decision.   I said, that I was then told it might take 2 weeks or 10 business days.  She was like, "I'm not sure who you spoke to on your previous calls, because it could take up to a month for a decision to come back unless they put a rush on it." 

So, crap.  I really have a lot going on and it isn't in my nature to freak out for real about the decision or the time it takes.  I like to know these things for reference, planning and excitement, but I'm not thinking about it every second.  Just every other.  :o)  What ever is meant to be will be. 

The Brighter Side:

This fall, my goal was to evaluate the products in my product line and decide what I was going to add to the line and what I was going to drop from the line.  I've done that.  I also needed to evaluate what products I can make from the ingredients and containers (bottles and such) I have on hand and what I needed to buy.  I've done all that, so today I started ordering a few things.   Starting Wednesday, Kaelyn will be in preschool for 12 hours a week, so I can take a week or so to clean the house after the crazy summer and get my kitchen prepared to start cranking out products again.  (It's been almost a year since I made a LOT of products at one time.)  Then, I can gear up and do that.  Plus I've got to get my book done, so it can be published before the end of the year.

I've got plenty to do this fall regardless, so I'm going to do it!  Crazy insurance people.  I simply don't have time to freak out, so I won't.  "Take all the time you need, crazy insurance people.  I can wait...I'm on a mission."
