Hubbs' Cardiologist Appt and The Usual Manic Monday Madness

September 29, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: family | Leave a Comment

The hubbs had a Cardio appt this morning at 11am for the follow up to the PCP appt, which was a follow up to the ER appt after the fainting and hitting of the head in the shower ordeal. Before the appt this morning, we needed to go to the hospital where we went to the ER at…not where his PCP or other doctors are out of, mind you…well we needed to go there BEFORE his cardio appt so we could pick up his medical records from the ER visit for today’s visit.

Of course, we got up an hour and 15 minutes late. Totally slept through ALL the alarms (I set like 4)…so we rushed around all morning. But…we made it to the appt ON TIME!! and WHY?? Well, because I was driving. The hubbs drives like an old man. lol

Once we got to the appt, of course they didn’t have his referral. So we spent about 20 minutes on the phone just trying to get through to his PCP…and OMG are they RUDE!!! Well, they aren’t ALL rude, but the 2nd lady I spoke to sure was. So we finally got that all straight and he went into his appt.

His cardiologist is awesome. He totally jokes with you and shoots the shit. He obviously takes the time to talk to his patients. He checked him all out and decided to put him on a 48 hour holter monitor, which he gets on Wednesday and he also is going to have an echocardiogram Wednesday.

He’s also off work until after my sister’s wedding. But he’s ok to drive. Which is good, because I was dreading the 4 hour drive (with ME driving) up north. But now he can help with the driving. We’re renting a minivan and taking the pups with us. It should be a good time. I called on that today and made the reservation.

I have SO much to do before the wedding. We need to finish cleaning the house because we are hiring someone to come in and feed the kitties and I’d REALLY like the house to be as clean as possible. I’m almost done with the dishes…one more load to go.

We need to go find the hubbs a shirt to wear…or go through his closet and see what he’s got. It’s casual, so he could wear anything really.

I need to get the dog’s food together, and froze into meals before we go. And then pack the humans all up…oh and make the Robusto!

It’s going to be a busy week preparing for the trip and the wedding. But I am excited too, I’m going to take lots of pictures and make sure that I’m even in some of them!! I usually am not in any. I will post some pix when we get back.

Ok, time for me to get to bed. I CANNOT oversleep tomorrow!!

Great Christmas Idea! – 5×7 Calendar Templates!

September 24, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: family, scrappy | Leave a Comment

These templates are a freebie and they are by Lori. You can find them on her blog.

What an AWESOME idea! I know what everyone is going to get from my hubby and I this christmas. Especially his mom and mine, and my BIL in Australia, oooh and my sister too!

The good thing is that you can dress them up, put little “icons” like a heart for valentine’s day, a cake for birthdays, etc. How cool is that? and original too! Who doesn’t love a little personalized gift like that.

And it will cost probably less than 10.00 a piece! That will be at least 4 gifts out of the way. I’m sure as soon as people see them, more will want them too!

Here’s one I did for October, 2009 just to show an example.

 
 Credits:
Paper and small pumpkin, ric rac and bow from Stolen Moments (Amber) Fright Night Freebie Colab
Web and Spider (I recolored the spider) from Digi Designs by Nicole Fright Night Freebie Colab
Birthday emb from digitreats, digitreat add on and faith sisters bday colab

I know those credits aren’t great…sorry. I was just searching for bday stuff through my files, so they came from where I said, but I don’t know who made them. I’ll go back and correct it later.

Anyways…that’s my example, We have 3 birthdays in October and actually my wedding anniversary is in Oct too on the 28th, which is also my hubby’s bday…so I usually put a cake or something. I should make it all about my anniversary though! LOL We’ve been married for 6 years…geez, and it will be 7 this year! Wow…I say wow because we had some really rough patches in the beginning. But things are great now. 

So those little calendars will be presents this year. I’ll have them printed at Costco and then get a frame. It will be great! I just KNOW they will love them!

I need to leave Lori a comment on her blog if I haven’t already.

She also has some other great templates. I’m really a template girl. I’m so new to digi with Photoshop and the templates really help me. I definitely jumped right in though!

I’m still doing wedding things. I’m frantically printing the programs and then Friday, which is also my sister’s birthday, we’re going to dinner for her and then we are going back into the sweat shop to fold these programs and then tie little tubes of wedding bubbles on them. Fun stuff. lol

My last wedding task is to make “Robusto” lol…basically it’s noodle salad. But I call it “Robusto!” lol I either need to make it Friday morning before we go up there or cut up the veggies and then make the noodlers there. Not sure which one I’m going to do. And I’m not sure how much I need to make. Enough for 150 or so people. I will be busy!!

Update on The Hubbs plus Sunday Ramblings

September 21, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: family, health, husband | Leave a Comment

Well, my husband had a doctor appointment with his PCP on Thursday. She kept him on the restrictions from his ER visit…no driving, no work…until his cardiologist releases him. His PCP is worried about the hot flashes, dizziness, and racing heart. My husband is worried too, and actually so am I. His cardiologist appt is on the 29th. So, no work until then for him. Ugh…which means no money either. Good thing the disability payments *should* start this month and we didn’t strike at work!!!! (insert happy dance here!!)

My sister’s wedding is in 12 days! I cannot believe how quickly it snuck up on us!! Last night we had another wedding sweat shop. We did the favors and designed the programs. I still have to print all of the programs here and then we’re going to get together again to fold and tie bubbles to the programs. I think that’s all we have left to do.

Then of course, we have to get there. I’m not sure what the hubbs and I are going to do if he cannot drive. I can drive if needed, I guess, but I didn’t want to. We’ll have to wait and see what the doctor says.

I have totally been in a scrapping slump. I got a TON of cute freebie kits and even some that I bought, but I just can’t seem to get inspired to scrap anything. I started a page of my nephew’s birthday, but I don’t really like how it’s coming along and will probably start over. I need to look at other people’s pages and sites for some inspiration or something. I have a zillion pictures, I don’t know what the problem is!
