Kinda funny what gets into my head sometimes.
I want to go and get my hair coloured. Goldwell has these amazingly cool "fun" colours from a line called Elumen. The pure colour range blows my mind and i heart it so much.
And what could be better than celebrating turning 40 by doing something a 16 year old should want too?
So, you ask, what is my problem? I hate upkeep on those colours. I hate to have to go and fork over the bucks for someone to do what i could do if i could just take my head off, put it on the table and do it myself.
So,i heart it but i am lazy and cheap.
What is a girl to do?

Look Away Cat HatersSince there is almost nothing new or exciting going on in my life besides the usual work, never ceasing head cold and hatred of driving in the snow, i give you... a cat youtube video.
Ah, but i am dreading turning 40 later this week. Do i really have to grow up?

That is so hilarious!! When I house clean for these two cats they hate me because I am the nasty man with the vacuum cleaner. I wish that thing would chase them around.

always can use a kitty video viewing!
I see you as perpetually youthful, so no need to grow up yet :)
Happy early b-day!

Carlos' Cantina & Bird Kingdom(e:Uncutsaniflush) and i had a rare day off together. We decided to go do something fun and touristy and, as we call them, one of our mini-adventures.
First stop, lunch at our favorite Mexican place in this area (kinda tied for a place down in Knoxville we love, but that would have been more of an adventure than we had time for). Carlos's Cantina is a place we frequent regularly (e:leetee,44483) and i am thinking i need to send in a very positive review of this amazing little place to the Bill Rapaport restaurant guide.
Very yummie jalapeno corn chowder we both had to have.
(e:Uncutsaniflush)'s chicken mole enchiladas.
My delcious vegetarian buritto (inside is the best veggie chili EVER!)
Like every time we are there, we wish it were a tiny bit closer... and not across the ditch. Carlos is an amazing chef and the atmosphere is as friendly as he is. Ya'll just HAVE to go.
After all the cold weather and the wonderful food to warm us up, we thought we would continue the trend of subtropical and head to Niagara Falls to the Bird Kingdom. Temps inside were very nice.... and the birds were damn cute. The Lorikeets there were very aggressive, nothing like the tame laid back ones at the Buffalo Zoo. And no pics inside that part, because they take pics and try to sell them to you.
Ah, but i took some of my own... lots, actually.
The waterfall in the main aviary was very nice... there's something mildly amusing to me taking pictures of this waterfall knowing how close to Niagara Falls i was.
Keeping warm on the inside of the waterfall.
There was also a house inside the main aviary that had the most amazing carved wall.
The drive home reminded us of why we needed the subtropical min-adventure in the first place.

Damn, I gotta go to Canada for Mexican! What's up with that? Best place I found around here is El Canelo on Dingens.

Awesome, you two went 'north of the border' for some Mexican entrees and a tropical excursion. I love the follow up driving home picture. That is another place to add to my 'go to' list.
oh and I'm hungry right now and that food looks sooooo good, its painful.

Venting About DoctorsOr in this case, a condesending bitchy nurse practitioner. Heaven forbid i see an actual doctor.
Yeah, ok, so, i got the labs done in September. Got a call that freaked me out. Shit, least they could do is soften things a bit. Or wait, be accurate. Don't tell me disorder X is "under control" if i am not even aware i have said condition! ANd, i never did find out all the numbers and what, exactly, they mean. I went on my 'script based on faith and them saying some results were 'high'. I was asked to come back in 3 months to have the labs redone, check on things, renew the Rx, IF NEEDED. My assumption, fool that i am, was that the highness noted would be lowered with said medication.
Fast forward to now. Yep, been taking the meds. But, i reckoned it was about time to call, ask for my offical numbers and make that 3 month (ok, it's been longer, but, well, life has been busy) revisit.
This all makes sense, right? I mean, go in, get labs done, get a perscription for an issue, come back when the health care professional requsts?
Nope. Wrong. Apparently, i wasn't supposed to come back, want to know what my results were last time, do as requested and return.
Well, at least not until i lost some weight. Because, until i do, there is just no point. Uhm, excuse me, bitch, but was i not just following your orders? And, would you mind telling me what the results of my blood labs were? I got the fuzzy photocopy. I guess my job is to figure out what it all means from google searches, 'cause i'm too fat/stupid/unimportant for her to bother with?
Bitch. And she wondered why my normally low blood pressure was high? Uhm, maybe 'cause i got this lecture last time? Can you spare me the Weight Watchers advert and get to why i came?

Health care sucks. Well generally. You just need to find a doctor you like and that is almost impossible.
