What a week!

Well Monday Clint was gonna switch my computer tower out with a new one (my front USB's had quit) Well We couldn't get the hard drive out... so forget that idea! I have no desire to reinstall any programs right now.
Plug everything back in and now MY computer days I have no OP System! Are you kidding me? I figure okay we must have not gotten it plugged back in ... 2 hours of frustration later I settle for the new comp. and a blank HD... no CRICUT, no MS Office, no photo editing.. none of my fun stuff.
So I figure okay, I'll just go play a game on Face Book.. gotta install java and a Flash.. blah blah blah.
ERROR Download can not complete! OMG are you kidding me?
Give up and just get inky!
Then I decide I'm gonna play with the pups instead..... I was chasing them, then I'd turn and run and they'd chase me.... Well somehow Joker kinda startled my dumb butt, and I spun around to run and fell.. face first!
Okay.. I am a dork ya know!
Well I'm not hurt, but I pulled a few things! LOL It really was quite funny!
We resolved to go lay on the bed and just watch tv.. an hour later I got up and things really hurt. All I thought was 'ya dummy!' Guess I am getting too old for horse play! LOL

Next morning I am nauseous, headache and dizzy. Oh oh I have to drive 70 miles to work.
I didn't even make it out the road here. I couldn't turn my head to look for a train! DAMN!
At his time I didn't think of the dumb fall.. I thought flu!

By noon I was really sick, barely see straight, my arms were killing me so bad I couldn't lift them.
Pains in my arm pits (of all wierd places) straight through to the other. My neck, up to my jaw and into the ears! OMG!
At 6 pm I was taken to the ER.... blood drawn, this and the other thing... 2 1/2 hours later the doc has the nerve to tell me its a migraine! I explained I'd suffered Migraines since I was 13 and I know the difference, well she says.. this must just be effecting you differently. And this woman keeps calling me sweetie and kiddo! WHAT!?!?!
Go home and rest.. I wanted to choke her but I was too miserable to even do that!
Wednesday, I can't move anything without crying in pain! The upset stomach was getting old too!
I called the Chiropractor ... humm sounds like you may have whip lash! Ahhh how's that work?
Well 9 am I go see him and get twisted and stretched.. wanting to die! Got sick, got stretch and twisted some more.
Laid on the couch for another 3 hours afraid to move till Clint need help with the cow. Walked around outside for a bit and kinda felt better.
By supper time I felt a lot better.. not great or even normal but definitely better.
Here it is Saturday, still dizzy and a bit nauseated, but a far cry from how I felt Wednesday!

Friday the 13th! UFF DA

OMG
Friday my boss had his shoulder surgery. I opened the store up like I normally would.. only to find major computer issues. It took 4 hours just to get some things back on track.
None of the computers would acknowledge that it was Friday the dates were constantly going backwards!
Closing went smooth, tills were on and no major concerns for the day.
I opened Saturday morning only to find that one of the computers hd crashed! GRRRRRRRRRRRR
Total loss! I called in someone to hopefully recover some data. He isn't holding out any hope!
My boss's surgery had complications and he was kept overnight.
I do not think he really understood what I was saying about the comp. :(
then I come home Saturday night.... I get here to find we are out of milk and bread so I changed so we could run to town
Go back out and find my shifting cable has broke.
Then my new phone came so I activated it only to make it not work, not only that my old one don't work either!
I spent an hour on Clint's phone with Verizon. Glad he was confused too! :)
I did stamp 30 Christmas images to color though.
Think I will go color them and watch The Wizard of Oz!

A card for the guys




























I spent many hours in the SCS gallery searching for ideas for Yukon and Wildlife Reserve.
I found some really cool ones, I still don't think I will color these animals. Just no good at that!

Cuttle Bug Set











My mom and Raye went shopping for new toys... Raye got the CB set "Build A Flower"
I got to take it home to play with

Tiles for Creep


I went with Mike (Creep) to his Home Depot Project on Saturday and they made a hot plate. Well it says you can put a 4 x 4 tile in the center instead of this wood thing they provide. So I copied Dork Beth on her Coaster Tiles and did these. Only to find out they aren't a true 4 x 4 tile. grrr!
