Reasons Why I Love My Husband's Work

Some points of clarification:
-The Hubby aka the Bunny returned to work today after spending 2 fun filled weeks at my "beck and call"

-He started the tradition of "decorating" someone's office when they were on vacation at his work

-He recently dressed up at work (along with the rest of the managers) in 70s attire to kick off their employee appreciation dinner

-Someone at his work spent a LOT of time cutting out bunny ears and photos of the Bunny in his 70s attire

-I LOVE THIS!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!

Medical Math

Rachel came and visited me yesterday and we thought of a fun blog topic - "Guess the total of Jenn's medical bills". Now not everything has been billed yet, but we thought it would be fun if everyone made a guess...perhaps I'll even dig up a prize for the winner.

Items to be billed June - December 2007:
2 CT Scans
5 MRIs
3 Office Visits with neurosurgeon
3 Office Visits with regular doctor (pre-op physical, staple removal, follow-up/release to return to work)
1 Brain Surgery (I was under for 6 hours and spent an hour in recovery)
4 days in hospital (2 as ICU patient and 2 as a regular patient, though I did stay in the ICU room)

For the purposes of declaring a winner I will only be calculating charges for the items listed above. Make your best guess now!! I should have most of the amounts within a few weeks but I won't be able to get a final total until January though.

Follow-Up on the NASA Shampoo

I introduced you to a cool product a few weeks ago. Unfortunately there was one thing I failed to consider - NASA Shampoo does not allow for weird crusty stuff like blood or sealant. So I didn't use it.

Margot was a WONDERFUL friend and washed my hair in her sink with baby shampoo using extreme caution so as not to get the incision wet.

Once my staples came out, I showered with baby shampoo which I have to use until the end of the month.

Should I find a time to use the NASA shampoo, I'll be happy to review it at that time. Otherwise I love washing my hair too much not to.

I wanna be a cat!

They lay around all day and nap. People take care of them and feed them. Oh wait...that's what I've been doing since my surgery... :) (How fat is my cat getting?!)

Why you shouldn't always read signs...

When arriving at the hospital last Tuesday VERY early, I was leading my entourage to the front door where I had entered several times the prior day. It was not until this approach that I noticed the lettering on the window next to the automatic doors.

I was scheduled to arrive at 5:30 AM, but because my mom is always at least 15 minutes early everywhere she goes, we were arriving at approximately 5:10-5:15 AM.

When the door didn't budge with my approach, I groaned, turned around to get the camera from the hubby and then took this picture. As I inched closer to the sign to maximize the size of the text for easy viewing on my blog, the doors slid open.

Darts & Smart Wives

No, I'm not suggesting that anyone throw them at the back of my head (although I can see how that might be tempting). Since the hubby and I have been holed up in Colorado, he's taken to playing darts with Aaron several times. Today as I was attached to the laptop (I MUST be feeling better!) he went out to throw them by himself.

I was chatting with Bianka on AIM:
JennAnn (4:04:03 PM): i think willard is finally going to hang the dart board when we get home
JennAnn (4:04:22 PM): he's been playing darts with Aaron and now he's throwing them in the garage by himself
JennAnn (4:04:42 PM): shoot he might go all out and organize the garage while he's at it!
Bianka (4:05:27 PM): THAT would be nice!

JennAnn (4:11:43 PM): willard walks in from the garage and says "i think i'll have to hang the dart board up when i get home"
JennAnn (4:11:51 PM): i just pointed to what i wrote
Bianka (4:12:23 PM): lol
Bianka (4:12:27 PM): Wives are so smart

Random Pondering of the Hubby

We were eating brunch at the Ontario Airport Saturday morning at Applebee's when Will shares this pondering...

Hubby: "Why isn't cantaloupe a melon?"
Me: "What?"
Hubby: "There's watermelon, honeydew melon, and just plain melon. Why not cantamelon?"

This is the guy you've all come to love (if you didn't already)! :)

These are the reasons I love him. Sorry there are no photos...the cell camera is still broken :( I'll send the hubby out to have it fixed after tomorrow's mass-texting.
