Blood Work, BBQs and Brazilian Beans!

I FINALLY got my blood work done today. I was not too impressed about going at all but I'm tired of being tired....

So I sat in the chair, had some small talk with the nurse taking my blood, then she looks at the paper and starts counting what needs to be tested. One, two, three, four..... ten... fifteen. Good God! How much do you want to take out of me?

She puts the rubber band thingy on my left arm and starts to feel around for a vein. As she starts to do this I think of my stylist who is TOTALLY in the wrong field and should try this job out! No vein there. She wraps my right arm.... Should I tell her that I'm going to be a challenge?....

She looks up at me and says, " It's probably because you've been fasting".

"Oh no, when I came through the door my veins decided to hide! Hehehe!" She's looking at me funny. Ok, tough crowd. Is this mic on?

She looks at me and says, " I don't get why you are so scared of getting blood work done when you have tattoos."

Maybe that's because I've never gone to a tattoo parlour and they've drawn vials of my blood thank you!

She finally got a vein and now she has become my new best friend! One time, no need to look for another vein. Thank you cranky nurse!!

Once we are out of the lab we head out to Wal-Mart where we go in search for a BBQ. We decide to get one from the grocery store near the house because it looked like a longer lasting BBQ. But is it just me or do some BBQs look like NASA space ship rejects?

So for being such a brave girl I decided to make my favorite dinner. Brazilian Beans! Feijoada! YUM-O! But the best part of it is that my daughter is just as crazy about them as I am!!!



This post today is for my mother! Thank for you teaching me to make a great meal and you can now stop bugging me about getting the tests done!
