Wednesday Wrap Up

Today is officially St. Patricks Day and it's also 10 days until my wedding! For the first time in a long time, I chose not to go out for St. Patty's, for two reasons: going out costs money which for us, is quickly dwindling, and alcohol, at this point, would only hurt my stress level, not help it! So, Jason and I decided to go shopping for groomsmen gifts, which is NOT easy. You feel like you are buying something guys are never actually going to use. I don't care what you say, guys are harder to buy for. Well, at least harder to buy for when you don't have a ton of money to spend. Girls are MUCH easier.

Jason text me today and said, "I am so excited, I am going to be your husband!" It gave me chills because he really is going to be my husband! I am really excited, I have butterflies pretty much all the time. It's very hard for me to focus on anything else besides what is happening next Saturday. As much as I try, it's hard. And I will forever have a respect for brides-to-be, especially ones who are a week away from their wedding!

I really don't have a lot to say today, I just realized I hadn't really written on here for about a week so I thought I would enlighted you all with the excitement that is my life! Oh, and I used my mini-muffin pan for the first time, and my blueberry mini-muffins were delicious. Which leaves me with one last comment: a "Friends" quote from one of my top five episodes...

Rachel: "You thought you would woo him with a basket of mini-muffins?"
Ross: "Someone brought a basket to work once. Everyone went crazy for those little muffins. It was the best day."
Chandler: "Your work makes me sad."

Have a great Thursday!

Why I am Pro Universal Healthcare and Changes to Our Healthcare System

Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me.   "$61,000" she said.   I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head.   As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee.   I can't believe I just said that.   It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...

That "Thing" in That Basket Isn't a Baby, You Know That, Right?

I have had the most horrible case of writer's block lately! With that said, I saw this article on Babycenter and I just had to write something about it.   So, we've heard of the trend of eating the placenta after birth . We've heard of the trend of putting them in pill form to get the nutrients . But this? This to me, is just the craziest of them all.   As a group of beings on this planet, I've never seen any other mammal who evolves to get to a certain place, then de-evolves on purpose, to be more "natural." I am sure I am seriously about to put my foot in my mouth, I am sure there are (some) people out there that I might offend with my "closed-mindedness" on this topic. But this is just, well, ridiculous to me.   Basically, after the placenta comes out, instead of cutting the cord and detaching it from the baby, you leave the placenta on, they salt it to help with the decomp process, add rosemary (I am guessing for the smell?), then p...
