We eat a lot. We drink a lot. We don’t exercise.

We travel to foreign countries.Tonight all those factors collided inside Heuer’s body.It is Tuesday afternoon and I find myself sitting in a Kaiser waiting room, staring at the lightly colored wood door in front of me. That door leads to the room where doctors have been poking and prodding Heuer for more than 45 minutes in the hopes of finding what ails him.Needless to say, I am scared shitless.Hoping Kaiser knows what they are doing…and that they return my Heuer to me in one piece.Stay tuned.UPDATE 1/9/08: Heuer got a call from the doctor this morning and it has been confirmed he has Giardiasis. He caught the bug while we were in Mexico, had it treated then, thought we killed it. Obviously the bug liked being inside Heuer as we had no idea that was what was causing him grief as of late.He also has high blood pressure, high cholesterol and is pre-diabetes, but the ‘bug’ is the thing that was freaking us out the most so happy to know there is a name and a cure. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but I am hopeful we caught all these ailments early enough to do something about it.2008 will be the year of ‘health’ for us.

I can be a forgetful ass sometimes…

Yesterday was January 7th, our 6 month wedding anniversary.And I completely forgot it.Well, I forgot it until Heuer came home – flowers and card in hand with an invitation to dinner so we could celebrate. Oh Lord. I am such a bad wife.People always joke we picked 7/7/7 so that it would be easy for Heuer to remember. Little do they know it is ME who is the forgetful one.Good thing that boy loves me. If my memory is this bad now…think what it will be like in 20 years. ☺Also good thing he understands I am not perfect. The momentary look of disappointment was quickly replaced with a laugh, a hug and a proclamation that I was buying dinner since I was the goofball who forgot.I do love that man.So it all worked out in the end, especially since little does he know, I used his credit card. ☺
