Cupcakes and Check-Ups

Wednesday, May 14, 2008
I can't believe it's only Wednesday! Tomorrow I'm co-hosting a shower for a gal at work who is due in a few months with a girl. She loves all things Asian (including her husband whose family is from China, though she is not) and so I get to recycle my Asian theme, I'm excited, and also ready to be 'done' with it.....which is typically how I get once I've thought about something long enough! Tonight I iced 48 cupcakes and stuck mama, and baby cranes on each (you can guess the color scheme). I've said it before, but several years back a student from Korea taught me a few origami tricks, if he only knew how far that little trick would take me! I spent yesterday dipping fortune cookies in chocolate at school for favors with some other teaching buddies, it was a fun break from 'real work.' I'm sure I'll have pictures of that tomorrow. In other news, my ear needs some divine intervention. I finally went to the doctor after months of a 'clogged' up ear and hearing lose, and then Monday the rest of my head stopped up, my temperature went up, and my back hurt. A few months back I was at the doctor about a rash that suddenly appeared all over my arms and legs and wouldn't leave, and I was given a mega dose of steroids, and I had her look at the ear then, but she just saw a lot of fluid and chalked it up to allergies. I guess that answer was only good for a week or so more and I should have gone back in, it's a lot worse, and she couldn't (or wouldn't) tell me anything more than it's not normal. I got super powered antibiotics for the 'rest' of my issues, but.... It's now off to the ear, nose,and throat specialist and my prayer is that it's nothing but a case of stinky ears. My biggest issue yesterday as I felt yucky, was....really, how old is too old to wear your pjs to the doctor?
P.s. No, I did not wear pajamas, I just wanted to!

Are you putting the fortune cookies in the Chinese food take-out boxes (that I think I've seen you use before)?

Sorry to hear about the ear! Hope they can figure out what's wrong. (That's the worst part - them not knowing. I have a story about that...)

Please tell us that they discovered what was going on with your ear, rash, fever and backache! YIKES!
Hope all is well now
