Hero or Villan? You pick...




"Yes, it really is Angela Patrelli and me. We're total buddies". P.S. YES, she is nice and wonderful in real life. She told me she was going to a family reunion. I nearly had a coronary, because I was looking around for her unpreditable children, Nathan, Syler, Peter, etc. She has a wonderful smile, and she's very engaging. Fun lady.

A Hippie in Utah....


My wonderful neice, Ashley, sent this to me. She must have sensed what I've been feeling about living here in Utah, and missing Santa Cruz and the Beach. Not sure I've quite fit in yet. I'm finding my own path, but I'm really thinking about growing back my hippie hair, and wearing my CaliClothes! I feel like I'm on the mend, and coming back into my own. :-) It's gonna be a great summer!

Birdie is gauze-free at 10pm



She's a SUPER DOOPER TROOPER! P.S. Yes, they are my Pippi Longstockings Socks, FULL OF ICE.

The Spa Treatment for Wisdom Teeth Removal

Anyone caring for a person with wisdom teeth removal? Here's the drill.
1. Get medicine IMMEDIATELY (Keflex, Lortab, Big IBU and Phenergan)
2. Small rolled up neck towel
3. Two small rolled up neck towels for side (to hold up ice packs).
4. Take two nylon knee socks and tie the toes together.
5. Take two large ziplock baggies and fill 1/4 with ice, and roll it up and seal it.
6. Slide ice packs into each of the nylon knee socks. Then tie the tops together.
7. Cover patient with warm blankets (2) to stop any shaking (which can be normal).
8. Change gauze every 15 minutes. We mean it.
9. Take the meds with a little bit of yogurt or applesauce.
10. Rest and be sure you have a lot of papertowels for patient comfort and "droolies".
11. Reassure patient they are doing really well. Hugs and kisses. :-)

By the time you read this, they will be out!

By 11:00am on Friday, these little babies (wisdom teeth) are goners!
This used to be a Bird, but now it's a Chipmunk.
I'm in nursey-mode now until Monday. Bye! :0)
