Tupperware!

August 9th, 2009 janie Comments off

In my profile, I mentioned that I am a Tupperware consultant. At the end of the month, there is a new catalog coming out for the holidays that will have some limited time offerings, and some neat new items. And starting this Saturday are the new monthly specials. This month is focusing on the microwave cookware line, Vent ‘N Serve. If you are interested in the Vent ‘N Serve line, August is the time to get it as there are some great deals available on it.  For those of you out of town where i can’t hand you a catalog, you can shop on my website at www.my2.tupperware.com/janiefoster

Happy Sunday!

To the guy in the dark grey dodge truck

August 9th, 2009 janie Comments off

This is for the guy in the dark grey Dodge truck. I really hope karma catches up to you without harming any innocent by standers.

How important you must be that you can’t wait 30 more seconds for a light to turn green so you can turn left into Target! And since you did it, it must be ok and the little old bat in the car in front of me ran the light too. It took more time for you to make the right in front of chick fila than it did for the light to change.

Oh and how special you are that you can run yet another red light leaving the Target parking lot AND try to make a right turn from the center lane that is supposed to go straight or left.  You actually pulled out to try to block my view of oncoming traffic and pull out in front of me. Did you really think that was going to work?  No i didn’t make it easy for you to get out. And oh my! you actually had to wait for me to make a right on red from the correct lane.

Sorry, but i’m not afraid of your big Dodge truck. I sit high enough in the van to see your stupid face. I also got the first part of your license plate. KLU- sorry i missed the numbers on your Virginia plate. But don’t worry. If I hear about any accidents today involving a big grey Dodge truck, I’ll be happy to contact the police and let them know how you’ve been driving today.

And for all that effort to get out of the parking lot, you sit at the green light in front of the mall! Thankfully Jefferson wasn’t that busy yet, because you couldn’t drive straight either. As slow as you were going at that time, you should have managed to go in a straight line even with your hands off the wheel. You should probably get that looked at.

and a little side note to the cashier at the market today: hey vera, it’s great that you are friendly and all that, but if you paid more attention to ringing up items instead of talking to EVERYBODY around you, 3 other cashiers might not have had to come up and take care of the line that was forming. You also might have noticed that i was done signing the slip and waiting for you to take it if you weren’t turned around talking to a customer in another lane.

Stitches

August 5th, 2009 janie 1 comment

YAY!! Today the stitches came out and I got to take a real shower.   Until they came out, I could not get them wet, so that meant no showers. I had to carefully take a bath or wash up in the sink, neither of which really make ya feel clean. And since there were no showers, that meant i couldn’t wash my hair either. at least not on my own.  Sunday, before the rehearsal for Lynn’s wedding, I had to lay down on the kitchen counter while Carl washed my hair. To make sure the stitches stayed dry, I taped gauze over the stitches and then held wash cloths over that in case Carl got a little crazy with the sprayer hose.  Yay, clean hair.

Today after spending 2 hours in traffic because people here are morons, I got to take a real shower and wash my hair. YAY! All clean!

yawning update

August 1st, 2009 janie 1 comment

On Wednesday, I had arthroscopic surgery on both sides of my jaw to try to straighten out the issues from dislocating my jaw on Memorial Day.  I really don’t remember much of anything after the anesthesiologist gave me the first round of meds in the prep room. I do remember giving me oxygen and putting my out on the operating table and then nothing after that until i was in recovery and i was awake enough for them to wheel me over to where Carl would sit with me. Trying to eat crackers when your jaw is bandaged up is not fun. Neither is trying to get a pain pill in your mouth to swallow it.  When they bandage you up after having this surgery, you end up looking like a chipmunk in a water polo helmet. Your cheeks get mushed leading to the chipmunk effect. and the bandage that go over the sutures are covered in tons of gauze and then you get a wrap that goes around your head that makes it look like a water polo helmet.  Not the most flattering look. Thankfully that came off on Friday and not I am left with stitches on both sides of my head right in front of my ears. At least they are low enough that I can wear my glasses without touching the stitches. Now I’m just waiting for everything to finish draining. Eating is still an adventure.  I can chew food if i can get it into my mouth. So I’m back to cutting things up small enough to get into my mouth so I can try to chew normally.  The sooner I work my jaw like normal, the better.  I go back to the oral surgeon on Wednesday and hopefully everything will be healing like it should.

Tomorrow, we have a rehersal and dinner for Lynn’s wedding. Then the wedding on Monday. The girl is a junior bride’s maid and has to get dressed up and everything!

Have a good weekend!
