Quote of the Day 5/11/07

( OK OK perhaps not quote of the day, but that sounds better than quote of the every-few-days-maybe-even-as-infrequent-as-every-week-or-two )

Post a picture already!

OK, I found a picture and put it on my “about” page.  Please note that these photos were taken by children!  I place all the blame on them, not on the subject of the photos.

Oh. My. Goodness.

I would like to thank everyone who has visited my blog!  After a not so swell day, it was awesome to see a message that my blog had its best day ever (as in number of hits).  And then even more awesome when I saw an email from three days ago saying my blog had its best [...]

$5,940.60

Thats the (initial) cost of Maddie’s February 25, 2008 out-patient oral surgery dentist visit at University of Michigan Dental Clinic.
Cross your fingers that insurance picks up the total cost!  And if they don’t, cross your fingers that they don’t add any additional charges to the final bill.
