LOL!

This is just so wrong. But it's still funny:

giggling like a little girl

I *heart* Sprouts Farmers Market. I really really do.

I stopped in there on my way home today to pick up some stuff on their current sale. While I was looking for their Cornish hens, they were offering samples of something. I came to screeching halt.

It was gluten-free chicken nuggets, and gluten-free corndogs. I wasn't that impressed with the chicken nuggets (reminded me of Ian's), but the corndogs. It was just like being a little girl again.

And they have a beef dog and chicken meat version. Both are now in my freezer.

And both were the same price as one box ordered on the internet. Happy, happy, joy, joy.

heat wussies!

No offense to my neighbors.

It started getting in the mid to upper 80's for a high. This is way better than a year ago. I remember a year ago yelling at the gods saying it couldn't be 100 degrees before my birthday. I also remember getting a bit sunburned at the Civil War weekend since it was pushing 90 in the middle of March.

This year is so much better than last year.

But still I already hear a few homes around me are already running their AC units!

What the hell?

Granted, I'm a cold wussie. So I'm enjoying this with my windows opened. The only exception is hearing the drone of AC units.

brain zapping

When fiance and I went to Seattle, I had to come to a decision. It took me forever to get special screening at Sky Harbor. Lucky for us, we had just enough time for TSA to produce a female screener to get me through. At least I had my wonderful fiance was able to grab my carry on bag so it wasn't just sitting there because they wouldn't let me reclaim it until after screening.

After that was all done, I said "Screw going through that again, I'm going to chance it coming back. We'll see what happens."

After our lovely, chilly, whirlwind trip to Seattle, we walked through the line to go through the x-ray. I agreed I would play dumb and produce my medical ID card if it went off.

My turn comes, and I hold my breath and take a couple steps.

And nothing happens.

So we walk to a in-terminal restaurant for breakfast since we were dropped off a bit early. I grab my remote and check to see if it turned off my MCS. All green lights, so all systems are a go.

So whatever. We'll see if I ever set off the scanners.

Then I went to the grocery store a couple days ago. Ran into my gram, but did grab some stuff I needed to make a birthday cheesecake. In leaving the store, a lady next to me set off the alarm to deter shoplifting. They let me go, and eventually let her go. Drive home, and a few minutes later, I bent my head down in just a way and

*wham!* Sharp radiating pains start stabbing my face. So I go looking for my remote since I had just removed it from my purse due to lack of space. Trying to turn up the power, and there's this series of beeps. Sure enough, it was trying to tell me you can't change the settings when it's not even on.

Dang. TSA couldn't touch me, but a grocery store could short out my MCS to cause it to turn off.

It was a validation to me that I went through the whole brain surgery thing for something that wasn't a placebo effect. Since I was not expecting it to be turned off, and the pain came back within minutes. I still don't feel anything when I turn the device back on - just cessation of the pain.

I was also surprised that while I got the white hot zingers of pain, it wasn't that bad. Though I suppose a few days of that would make me feel differently.

happy spring!

It's spring now.

Fiance and I are starting to really hash out wedding details. Our current strategy is to get married at Saguaro Lake. I hope there's some group areas we could have a reception thing there. And hopefully they'll let us have a scenic vista spot for the real thing.

I have so much to blog about, but it's hard since I'm slammed at work I have no time for blogging ;-(
