Well, today Mom had her dental appointment. All went well. It is calm in New Mexico LOL. We will be camping September 8th, I can hardly wait. We plan on camping on the Mescalaro reservation in Ruidoso, NM. The last time we camped there many bears came out at night. They(3)literally ran in front of our vehicle when we came back from another location. It was really fun! As we were making a run for the front door of our camper we could hear one growling. We didn't dare look around, just ran into the camper and locked the door and then about died laughing! As the evening wore on we could hear them rummaging through the trash that people had left out. During the night (3:00a.m.) one of the bears paused under our pullout bed to eat some trash/food. It was scary but really exciting at the same time. Needless to say, I was glad we had a toilet in our camper so we didn't have to leave to hike somewhere in the dark LOL.

I haven't posted for a while so I thought I would. I haven't been busy in my own life. Mostly busy with my mother's life and problems, but oh well, such is life. I am greatful that I don't have any major problems in my own life or my children's lives. I did get to pick out carpet for my house. My floors currently have berber, which I hate (no offense if you have it). I will be getting a plush/textured carpet. It feels sooo soft to my feet, which I love :) My doctor said my red blood cells are too big again and wants me to get a bone marrow biopsy. He wanted me to get one 6 months ago, I didn't and my blood got better. I don't have any other symptoms of a disease so I'm not wanting to get the biopsy. I made the mistake of watching a BMB on youtube. I thought I'd faint. So, I will get a couple of other opinions first, then if I need one, I will demand an IV sedation or I won't get it, unless I begin to have more symptoms of disease, then I will get it anyway. Oh well, no more drama, at least not until my mom calls me. LOL

The bridal shower was great! I thought I'd only know the bride, but when I arrived I found that I know 80% of the women there. I ended up making a "wedding survival kit" for the bride. I loaded a small wicker pic-nic basket with bath products, matching scented candle, chocolates and miniatures of Tiquela (wine would have been better but I couldn't find small bottles). The gift was a success. It is wonderful to have a bit of "normality" in my life.

Bridal shower

I was invited to a bridal shower tonight, cool huh. Well, the thing is I've never been invited to one before. Crazy huh? Here I am 45 years old and I've never been invited to a bridal shower before. So, what do I buy? I'm really not sure. I'm sure all the guests aren't suppose to give lingerie. Anyway, I guess I will go shopping and find something. I don't even know what to expect at the shower. I feel silly being nervous about such a common event, but I don't want to look out of place. Oh, well I'm sure it will be fine.
