Good Afternoon everyone!
Last night DH and I went out for dinner and to by me a new hair dryer, as the one I had died. On our shopping excursion we went to BestBuy and did some Xmas shopping for the kids. We ended up buying Wii with extra controllers, a charging station, and a game. This will be the big gift for both of them. Now just to get some small items for them, and my shopping is complete.
My DH and I are going to buy a new flat screen TV for our present this year.
DH went to work this morning, and left me sleeping until 12 noon.

This is the norm for me, as I keep going and going during the week. I am finishing up the 4th week of my 5 week class, so I need to get cracking on the final papers. The quarterly close at work is finishing up, so I have not had much to do except preparation for October's month close. I had to get six people from our Northbrook office moved and settled in yesterday and that is not an easy feat. On the way out of the office last night, I stopped to use the restroom and as I was leaving the stall my cellphone fell out of my jacket pocket and landed in the toilet

. I am glad it was after it had flushed. So now my cell phone is no longer working and I had to call and file an insurance claim with my cell phone company and they are sending a replacement that should arrive by Thursday.
In regards to surgery, Thursday I contacted my insurance company to follow up on the reciept of my paperwork for surgery. The said that they had my psyc eval, which was sent separately due to Maggie forgetting it in the initial pack. But, the insurance company did not have the authorization request form. I contacted Maggie and left a message and she had called me back within 15 minutes. I explained what I had found out and she was a little preturbed, but I had to remind her that you are dealing with the federal government. I asked that she resend the informaiton, but to also mark the box urgent, and well will have the review done within 72 hours. I checked the authorization/claims on the internet for my insurance company this morning and it is in process

. So, I should have word by Tuesday or Wednesday this week if I am approved or not. I have ordered some Unjury samples and they should arrive on Monday. Once I obtain my approval (positive thinking here) I will start working on changing some of my eating habits and work towards a full liquid diet by the time survery day arrives (more positive thinking here). I am still hoping for middle of November, but I have resolved to the fact that it may not happen until December.
I am glad to hear that baby Lincoln is doing well, and will be a normal happy little boy.
Lucy enjoy the warm weather in Phoenix, as I am going through the withdrawals of summer. Gina, Pam, Christen I am glad you are all home and doing well.
Well, I now have dishes to do and home work to pay attention to. Never a dull moment around here.
