Ang’s Rants and Raves

Yesterday, for the first time I actually felt “grown up”.  We went to Saginaw to go to Trillium to check out prices there. I loved the food at the wedding I was at in September, and everyone knows how picky I am, I ate most of the meal there! The prices are decent… I think my mom is getting OK with the idea that we want to have beer and wine there.  Get a keg and pay by the bottle for wine and thats it! When its gone, its gone

Anyway, afterwards we went to the temple theatre to see jewel.  I can’t remember the last time I walked downtown. Flashbacks of hockey were coming at me left and right.  Walking down Washington was really surreal.  even more so when here I am, 10 years later from walking downtown with planning a wedding, having Steve there, and of all places, going to see Jewel IN Saginaw.  10 years ago I bought my first guitar and “you were meant for me” was the first song I learned from Kristi.  It really was good memories which was nice.  not “i miss those days” but really like “wow that was really fun times”.  The temple theatre is AMAZING.. .gorgeous.  I’d go Gwenn style and get married there if we were having a ceremoy bcuz its just so pretty.  (gwenn is getting married at the gem theatre in detroit).

We saw an ad for the ballrooms and they are unbelievable.  I called today and WAY over price range….but of course, Mom was throwing fits (when does she now?) that its downtown–unsafe, and very unsafe for elderly people to go there.  It was crappy…when I called they said guests take a shuttle bus from the GM tower…huh??? that is kinda stupid.

Jewel was really good.  Aside from the asthma attack I had during it, I was able to use my inhaler as a song ended and people were clapping.  I  had been on a caffine high all day because it does stop an asthma/coughing/wheezing attack for me, and drank more pop in an entire day than I really swear I ever have.  Then I slept about 4 hours since the caffine crash left me so tired, yet extreme insomnia.

I got another dr. recommendation and have an allergist appointment on monday.  I can’t wait.  I think this will be a life changing appointment for me.  I think I need to start getting allergy shots because this sinus thing is just out of control.  I have been sick since May at a constant rate—all drainage and post-nasal drip.  I have asthma attacks more than I ever have, and its just time.  The custodian said that his son is a completely different person since he’s gone and I’m hoping that its true for me as well.  

Anyway, this is a long blog! This weather is so strange, I just want to get my robe on, grab my netflix movies and just veg on the couch the entire night!
