Happy B-Day Erieannapoodlehead!

Three things about today:

#1-Why does everyone think I'm a kid? Every time people ask my age and I tell them they stare at me like I'm lying. And when I get a new job they always label me as "the kid" only to find out later that I am as old or older than a good portion of the staff. (My newest job is no exception although I must admit that this time I am only older than three other employees.) I'm so sick of it! Does anyone have any ideas on how I can look older? I know I am the only woman in America asking that question. I mean, I'm pushing thirty and people still think I look like I might be in high school!

#2-Two huge flocks of Canadian geese flew over the house today. I ran out the door as fast as I could to watch them wing their way south. I love to hear them honking to each other as they make their V formations in the sky. I guess it really is Fall now.

#3-I went to the doctor today.
You're probably thinking "Why the heck is this important?" Well-

Most of you will never know what it is like to be ill all of the time and unable to get medical care. And I pray you never get to find out either.

I have not been able to see a real doctor for more than three years because I didn't have health insurance. But now I do and boy am I going to use it!

The first thing the doctor did was give me some pills for my allergies. Second he scheduled a long needed surgical procedure for my leg. Third he informed me that I have no septum divider thing up inside my nose! He said that I am only the third person he has ever seen that in. The first two were coke addicts. Then he asked me if I was a coke user. Ha! After I stopped laughing...He also said if I wanted a nose ring that all I would need to do is insert it no piercing needed!!

Crazy! Who knew? I didn't, that's for sure. However, I think I'll skip the nose ring for now.

Today was our first ever Grey School Seattle field trip! We met up at Pike's Market for lunch and some magical shopping!

We ate crepes and then checked out a few of the shops near by (stopping for giant cookies along the way!)

Then we caught the bus up the hill so we could check out another shop. After we were all shopped out we grabbed some coffee and had a stroll around the Seattle University campus. We took lots of pictures and had fun hanging out by a fountain. After a bit we caught the bus back down the hill and said our goodbyes.

What a great day!

We finally cut the tags off of the couch because...It's been a year since we bought it and it is now paid in full!!!!! 

Happy 28th Birthday Scott!
