Only in Big Spring. . .

My family are not known as "big spenders" . . .we are more like "big savers." Get ready for a visual - my entire family (well, my two aunts, mom, cousin & I) all croweded into KFC at lunchtime. We are all fighting - over two pages of coupons - the coversation goes like this "I think I want a chicken wrap". . ."but we don't have a coupon for a chicken wrap - why don't you get the snacker meal" (insert wisecrack in the background). . ."we only have 2 coupons for the buffet - but we could get a family pack as long as we all agree on what side" (as if that would EVER happen.)

Somehow we survived lunch - which was good because we had a girls spa day. . .manicures & pedicures. I told them we could just have waited for our cruise & thrown in something weird like mud wrap w/ some bell therapy. "But this place has manicures & hair cuts for half off during June." Since my mother was there - I told the lady at the front to add me to her bill & to add me haircut too. My mother left there with her astounding bill - $22 (which included 2 pedicures, 2 manicures & 1 haircut plus $2 tips for all our practitioners.). . .ok - so it was the College Cosmetology department - and she has an employee discount & my aunt is in charge of the program. . .aghh well.

I have to drop Jezabell off at the kennel tomorrow - I feel like a mother who is about to leave her child at the evil daycare for the first time (I can say that because I am a prodagy of daycare - so I know that it isn't that bad & that I turned out alright). I've let her in the house & played with her more today than I ever had before - she is lapping it up! I know she'll love being with the other dogs - but I'm gonna miss her. I think that is the only reason that I didn't take Rianne up on her offer to take Jez to Dallas (and then on to El Paso) while I'm on surgery rotation isn't because I thought that Ada & Cory would object (they probably would) - but I'd miss her too much.

Well - Rianne & Kirtana - I wish you the best tomorrow & I will be praying for you! Cory - any niece yet? Lina & Ellen - moving day! how exciting! Rachel - move now please!
