Yikes, abandoned you guys again! Unintentional, promise! Happenings over the last couple of months...

Medical stuff:
- Signed up for private health insurance! (Yay, body! Ouch, wallet!)
- Signed up for a dental plan! (Ouch, teeth! Ouch, wallet!)
- Found out I have gallstones & need my gallbladder removed. (Whuuuut?! Have been in tons of pain lately, so surgery is scheduled for next week.)
- Found out I have gingivitis & need treatment before they can start regular dental work. (Gross! Yet, I'm still eating tons of candy!)

Fun stuff:
- SPRING IS FINALLY HERE FOR REALZ!! Hallelujah, there IS a sun!!
- Wind-blown hair from all the convertible rides! Messy, but worth it!
- Hanging with friends! Always a delight!

( Pictures! )

More spring & summery goodness to come! I'll try not to be a stranger. ;)

Finally gots my hair did today! I went for rainbow bling this time. It's crazy amazing, but I think I need more in certain spots. Or maybe I just need to move my hair part over a bit, since one side seems more glitter saturated. Either way, it's bling-tastic, and I love it! ♥







I also received my order from Urban OG, where I may or may not have totally went on a shopping spree after they sent out a 20% discount code for Easter. I told myself I wouldn't buy a bunch of clothes & shoes I don't need this year, but look at these! Obviously, I need them!

[The rest of & 'em!]

No regrets! Just happy, happy feet! Well, maybe not so happy after walking around in these, but whatever! My eyes will be happy! ;)



I also received my health insurance approval today, complete with membership card (and bill!). Such a dull thing to be excited about, in comparison to the hair and shoes, but it's exciting for me, because I've been without health insurance since... probably since I was a kid! We're paying out of pocket for a private plan, which feels like a knife being twisted in my gut, but hey, I'm covered for stab wounds now, so it shouldn't be a problem! ;P Amy asked if she could punch me, now that I have coverage. So polite, asking permission! :D

Anyway, I suppose it was unwise to be sailing along with no health insurance all this time, but on the other hand, I can't say I regret it, since I was lucky and never had anything go crazy wrong. Just time to stop chancing it, I guess. Amy's the paranoid sort, so she is especially happy with this development. I'll call tomorrow to schedule my first physical in over a decade! Hopefully, nothing inside me has rotted... lol.



Working on my taxes was the only downer today, although progress was an upper. It's taking me forever to get all my stuff together for that... Schedule C forms are about to give me an aneurysm! Oh, but now I have health insurance, so it's ok! ;)

I told Amy I think it would be fun to have an Easter egg hunt of our own, with things we like inside plastic eggs (not necessarily food, although I'm drawing a blank on other things to use), and she seemed game. I didn't think of it until Easter Sunday, so I figured good idea for next year, but now I'm wondering if I should scoop up discounted eggs at the store and arrange a hunt this weekend. ;D We'll see! Might rather go kite flying instead. We haven't done that in years, and plushdreamer reminded me that we MUST!

Easter was great, and I have a few pictures from the first week in April, as well. Is it weird that I judge a month's "fun-ness" by the pictures I take? Maybe it's because the things I photograph are the things I can actually remember months/years down the road. The rest just falls out of my head with all the other useless junk we absorb every day. ;P
