THURSDAY THIRTEEN: Fact or Crap Edition "The Big Reveal"

Last Thursday, I asked my readers to prove how well they know me. I have come to realize that they all know me pretty well!! We had a 5 way tie. Although, Bryan would like me to point out that he got all 13 correct and he was being funny on #10 where he said I "steal" the internet and not "borrow". Tough luck, boyfriend, you knew the rules, "Fact" or "Crap". So, I was forced to have a drawing. (Normally, I would video the drawing, but I am sick AGAIN and I look pretty rough and was not going to put my poor readers through that) The winner is.....

CARRIE CRUZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THURSDAY THIRTEEN: Fact or Crap?

Last weekend, P² and I hung out with Sandy and Mr. D. We went to eat at the local Mexican restaurant, "The Coz", and then back to Sandy's for some gaming. We thought some Wii would be fun. But originally it was supposed to be a board game night, so I suggested we play at least one. So Sandy got "Fact or Crap". It was definitely an interesting game. Sandy and I were horrible at it. One person reads a statement and the other players have to decide if it is fact or crap.

In honor of our fun time last weekend, Sandy and I have decided to do a Thursday Thirteen: Fact or Crap edition. On each blog, you will find 13 statements. You have to answer fact or crap to each statement. Please leave your answers in the comment section. Please have all answers submitted by next Tuesday. I will not post any comments until next Thursday. There will be a small prize for the person with the most correct answers. If there is a tie, I will have a drawing. Next Thursday, Sandy and I will reveal our answers in the Thursday Thirteen.

1. My favorite color is pink.
2. I have had whooping cough.
3. I have one younger brother.
4. I once was a pre-med major.
5. My childhood dream was to be a manager for WWF wrestlers.
6. I am addicted to chapstick.
7. P² and I are engaged.
8. My fave condiment is ketchup.
9. I HATE roller coasters.
10. I "borrow" my neighbor's wireless connection.
11. I collect keychains.

Happy Easter!

Yesterday, I cooked my first Easter dinner. It was delicious, if I do say so myself. I cooked a ham, potato salad, deviled eggs, green bean casserole, orange stuff (I don't know the name of it), banana pudding, and rolls. It was so yummy! I took some pics of the spread.

Saturday night, Bryan and I dyed eggs. He is super sweet and will do cheesy stuff with me. We did all kinds of colors, it just happens that the ones we wrote our names on are purple (my fave) and blue (his fave).


We went to see "Wicked" last night. It was awesome and we both loved it!

"Are you crying...."

"...Because it hurts or because you just don't like it?" What do you think, lady?

This is my arm today. Notice the lovely greenish bluish shading around the top and bottom.  That is NOT lighting!  That is actually what my arm looks like today.  

I really wish I would have just "stopped by" the doctor's office today to visit with Miss Incompetent.  I would have asked if this bruise looks like "pain" or just "dislike."

Now, I realize that bruising is common with blood draws (if done by incompetent nurses, especially) but I also know that she did not have to milk and push the blood out of my arm.  That is why I am bruised.  My other arm is fine (she had help doing that arm....). 

Several of my friends have suggested that I should have ripped the needle from her hand and shoved it into her arm and asked if she was crying because it hurt or because she just didn't like it.  I think I could have actually hit a vein... What do you think?

Oh, a quick funny.  When she asked what arm was better, I told her neither and offered to show her the spider veins in my legs.  I told her she could probably get a ton of blood from there...  She declined.  I don't know why.      

These are the "track marks" that I received from the incompetent nurse yesterday...  Pretty nice looking.  Come on, you know you like it.

97.5

Really?  Are you kidding me?  Today, when I have a dr. appt, my temp is 97.5.  But my whole body still aches and my throat is KILLING me.  I have been sick since September.  I do get better but not completely well.  So, now I'm asking for an allergy specialist and ENT.  The dr said she would do blood work and then refer me where I needed to go.

This is what was done today:

1.  Nurse stuff (temp, blood pressure, symptoms)

2.  Strep test

3.  Dr. consult

4.  Dr. stuff (look up nose, in ears, in mouth)

5.  Flu test

6.  Both were negative

7.  Blood work

8.  Nurse looks at veins and gets a worried face

9.  Ask which arm is better

10.  Sticks me and misses

11.  Digs around to find vein

12.  Can't find it

13.  Tells me to go drink two glasses of water and come back

14.  Nurse calls another nurse to come help

15.  Sticks me again

16.  Milks my arm and blows the vein

17.  Doesn't get enough blood for tests

18.  Moves to next arm

19.  Blows vein

20.  FINALLY gets enough blood

21.  I leave in tears

Oh, and the antibiotic that the Dr. prescribed can affect my central nervous system!  WooHoo!  So if I act confused or can't remember anything, it's the medicine.  So, don't tell me anything important for the next 14 days, at least.
