Good news:
Steve and I got to spend the whole weekend together and I loved it!

Bad news:
Steve has pink eye, the Dr appt and prescription cost almost $100 and he lost about $200 by not working, I might get pink eye and I am already sick.

Ya know what though? I still really enjoyed the weekend. I'm pretty sure we've never spent a whole weekend at home, together before. He played hockey on Friday, then Saturday morning I took him to urgent care. Here's the review I wrote on Yahoo! for that place:

My husband was miserable with pink eye this morning so I got up and tried to find a Dr to take him to. Seeing how good the previous reviews on here were, we decided to go to Canton Urgent Care. The recording said they opened at 10:00, so that's when we arrived. Someone finally arrived there around 10:10. We signed in and waited... around 10:20 we were informed that it will be about another 35 min. How? I wondered... we arrived before they even opened. As the waiting room began to fill, 11:00 approached and we were taken to a room where the wait was relitively short compared to the time in the waiting room. The Dr came in, took one look at my husband and said, "Yep, you have pin eye" and wrote a prescription. I noted that we had no insurance and asked for a generic. He told me the generic ones aren't any good, but in the next breath said they are about the same. Now, we all know they ARE the same!!! We went to the pharmacy next door where they were very helpful. The pharmacist came out and gave us some info on the medicine and told us it was rather expensive (around $75) and there are other products that would do the same thing and are cheaper. Also, the Dr didn't put any instructions down for how often to take the med. Back to Urgent Care we went. We got a new script... this one was "only" $55. Ugh, the pharmacist wrote down two different meds on a post-it and gave it to us to take back to the Dr. This time, he agreed to use one of the suggested medications. Somehow I remained polite. I've heard doctors make money by writing scrips for certain brands... this proves it in my eyes. Finally my husband got his script for $7 and we were on our way. I'm glad that at least the pharmacy was helpful...

So, yeah... that took the whole morning. For the rest of the weekend we pretty much just hung out. We ordered Chinese, played video games, watched hockey and football, played cards and watched Fox Sunday (I love those shows!). Oh yeah, we also did a lot of hand washing and disinfecting! lol

I love that guy sooo much. I never get tired of him. Infact, I can't get enough of him... even if he's sick and oozing puss from his red,swollen eye. Here's a little picture I edited for him:

He wouldn't let me take a pic to send to his dad, so I made my own. :o)

On another note...

To those who think that we wither dropped off the face of the earth, are stuck up, or are ignoring you...

We aren't.

We've just not been hanging out with anyone lately. There isn't really a reason for it other than the fact that we both hate the cold and Steve has hockey on Friday nights then works Sat and Sun night. The only thing we've actually done lately is go to the bar for an hour or two on Friday after hockey... and that's prolly about every other week. Infact, for 3 weeks in a row, I came home on Friday night and didnt leave again till Monday morning. Last week I did a little shopping and it was right back to it this weekend.

Speaking of shopping, I've decided it was a good idea to be really cheap for Christmas this year. We've placed a $20 limit on everyone except each other. Last year was way out of hand. Here are the people I'm buying for this year, so if you're not on this list, please don't get me/us anything either! A card or a pic of your kids will be just fine if you are in the giving spirit. Well, Jen, Krissy and Sam, I better be getting pics of your kids anyway!

People on my Christmas list:
Steve, my mom, Dad K, Nancy, Jimmy, Chase, my secret santa person at work and maybe my dad.

***********************************************************

Oh, and speaking of Christmas lists, here is what I'm asking Santa for this year...

1. A pair or two of jammie pants size medium. Not cotton, unless they are men's size small. (otherwise they end up way too short).

2. Swiffer Wet Jet

3. Godiva Chocolate

4. Clothes are always good. size Med

5. I could use some new undies. size Med

6. Slippers that go all the way wound my feet, not just slip ons. Cartoon character heads are a plus, or animal feet. The funnier, the better. :o)

7. Nintendo Wii (I thik Santa's fresh out of these though)

That's all I can think of right now. I might add more later
