It’s His Turn
Mar 9th
Ken sure has been having his share of doctor/dentist appointments so far this year! I swear he’s had about ten already.
Today he went to see the doctor because he has a bump on his chest. It’s been there for several months and it keeps getting bigger. I’m thinking it’s a cyst. I was teasing him, telling him the easiest way to get rid of a cyst was to have someone take a book and smack it really hard on it… it immediately goes away. I asked Ken, “Can I smack your cyst with a book?” He looked at me kind of surprised and said, “NO! Do you want to give me a heart attack?!?” I was only joking but it really works… if you can actually stand to have someone do that to you.
So he called and made an appointment and when the receptionist asked why he was seeing the doctor Ken said it was because he had an alien growing out of his chest. LOL! The receptionist told him, “I don’t think we can help you with that.”
He is at the doctor as I type this so he should know something shortly. My money is on the cyst and not an alien. 
Update (right after I hit publish)… The doctor tried to drain the cyst (I knew it!) but was unable to get all the fluid out. Take antibiotics for 10 days and warm compresses. Ken said, “I think we killed that alien growing inside!” LOL!
Planning For Spring
Mar 8th
I’ve decided since my little “garden” of two plants went so well last summer, I want to plant a real, honest-to-goodness garden this year. Nothing huge but with stuff we will actually use. I definitely want to plant tomatoes and cucumbers. Beyond that… I’m not sure. I’m still debating on having onions and zucchini.
When I asked Ken if he had any ideas of what to put in the garden, he said, “It’s going to be your garden. Put in it whatever you like.” You know what that means in his mind… my garden, my weeds, it’s going to be my job. Well yeah! I was just asking for a little input.
I was also seriously thinking about ordering a couple of rhubarb plants because rhubarb is most awesome! Little did I know (until a couple of weeks ago) that you can’t harvest rhubarb for the first year. What is up with that?!? My seriously thinking dropped several notches down to maybe because I don’t know if I could plant rhubarb and wait for a whole year to pick some off!
Loads Of Excitement!
Mar 6th
This week has been jammed packed with exciting things happening.
Monday – The new lens I ordered for my camera came in! Haven’t had much of a chance to play with it yet but I can’t wait. I’m glad I ordered it when I did because the price went up $19!
Tuesday – Ken and Rachel went to ITT Tech in Green Bay so Rachel could take a tour. They were impressed and Rachel ended up enrolling! She starts classes on March 15th. Wow, that is real soon but I’m glad she finally decided to go back to school.
Wednesday A.M. – Each day this week I was entering a contest online from a local news station to try and win tickets for Packers Fan Fest. I almost forgot this morning because I overslept and entered 3 minutes before the deadline… and just for the heck of it, I also entered to win tickets to the All-Star Rodeo Challenge and Green Bay Gamblers game. As I was putting on my jacket to head off to work, I heard them announce the winner for Fan Fest… it wasn’t me. And then the winner of the Gamblers game… it wasn’t me. Finally the last name was chosen for the rodeo… holy crap, they said my name!! I was bummed I didn’t win the Fan Fest tickets but it is cool I won 4 tickets to the rodeo!
Wednesday P.M. – Ken went to see his foot doctor and was given the all clear to stop wearing his boot! His doctor told he was healing very well and he should now start wearing his shoes without inserts (he has been wearing inserts for years). Ken is almost walking normally now but says it feels so strange not having inserts in his shoes. ALSO, we got a new stove. Finally a new stove!! It is so nice to have all four burners that will light on their own! (None of them on the old stove did.) The next best thing about having a new stove is that the casino let us win enough $$ to buy it! They have been so nice to us this year considering they basically paid for our stove, t.v., washer and dryer and Ken’s computer. I’m still waiting on that treadmill though. 
Friday – Rachel went back to Green Bay to take care of paperwork and financial aid stuff. Everything went really well and she found out 8 of her classes from Bay College will transfer! She needs to go back on Monday to see if she can test out of math.
It’s been a great week!
