Happy First of Feb....

So Saturday hubby and I went to Alexis's birthday party. She and her mom (son's fiance) live with grandma and grandpa out in the Riverview area, which is about a 45 minute drive for us. I've met her parents before because I has at her party last year and also at the Downriver Cruise in the summer with them. But hubby has never met them yet. So now he has....

She loves Hannah Montana so I got her a HM tote bag, hairbrush, and shampoo. She really liked it. I also gave her a couple scratch-off lottery tix. They had lots of pizza and salads and veggies and dip. I didn't do too bad. I ate mainly salad, veggies and one small piece of pizza. I had NO beer cause I'm on my no-beer-for-at-least-three-months diet. I took a bottle of Smirnoff's with me...haha.

After we got home, I saw that the Miss America pageant encore was on at midnight so I watched it. I remember when the Miss America pageant was a BIG deal and it was always shown on a regular local channel. Now it's on some cable station and I didn't even know it was going to be on cause I never saw any advertisements for it. Guess it's not a big deal anymore. Anyway, I wanted LA or NEB to win, but Virginia won. I always keep my own type of scoring when I watch that show and I had her down for strong points for looks cause she is really pretty and high marks for her talent cause she really blew the roof off the place with her singing, but I hated her evening gown....guess yellow just isn't my color. But I'm glad she won.

Tonight is major TV....."The Bachelor" on at 8 and "24" on at 9...which means I have to tape Bachelor cause it's on for 2 hours and hubby and I are both hooked on 24. AND TOMORROW IS *L*O*S*T*!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The premier of the last season starts tomorrow. OMG...I so cannot wait!!

Today I went to the Doctor for my 6 month checkup and everything is fine. My LDL cholestrol had been a little high at 167 and he put me on cholestrol pills and it's down to 99...! And besides the pills, I also switched to EggBeaters which has 0 cholestrol compared to a lot that regular eggs has. And since I eat a lot of eggs, I'm sure that switching to EggBeaters helped alot.

I told my doc that I wanted one of those C-125 blood tests that tests for Ovarian cancer because I don't want to wait until I have symptons cause by then I'll be in a Stage 3 or 4 and that's why it's so deadly. I told him I wanted to have it tested now BEFORE I get symptons. Well, he told me that that test is very very inaccurate alot of times and if I got an inaccurate result then he would have to send me to my OB/GYN and I and her would both get upset and involve a lot more expensive testing and everything would turn out okay anyway. He said unless I tore his arm off, he won't do that test. He told me to talk to my OB/GYN. ??????WHAT?????? So, in other words, when I get actual symptons, then they'll do a test???? Right, and bury me in 6 months while you're at it!

Now does that make any sense???

Oh...and I'm starting my tax job on Wednesday....
