Thoughts On A Thursday…I Mean Friday

this !

My sister used to write “Thoughts on a Thursday” posts quite often. I don’t know if that is a general internet trend or something she invented, but I am doing my own version one day late.

Look at this cute boy at the dentist!! He loved getting to watch Spongebob. I also discovered that I have pediatric dental insurance that covers cleanings….two years after I got it. May I have my money back, please?!

This boy is not in shape! T and I didn’t do a whole lot of outdoor running in the winter, so I’ve been running in the beautiful weather more frequently. He LOVES to go running, but he naps all afternoon after we return!

Red Hot Blues and I had to take a break from our relationship for a bit. But then they called and asked me out and I just couldn’t resist! But the thing is, I’ve eaten more than my share two days in a row at lunch, so I think we are just not destined for love.

My BFF Sarah loves crystals and all things woo-woo. I passed her favorite store, Crystal Connection, the other day and took this pic while stopped at the light there. I sent it to her later that day doctored up with enthusiasm and just said “Thinking of you”. She said it was like receiving a personalized greeting card in the mail!!

I love fish and chips and recently picked up some breaded pollock fillets from Whole Foods. I had them for lunch this week and they were quite delicious!

Mazen and I went to the mall for a rainy day activity and he wanted to play the claw machine. I put a dollar in the machine and what do you know, it was broken! I don’t know who was more upset when the claw didn’t move: me or Mazen.

We had these Blue Apron empanadas a while back and loved them so much that Thomas bought the ingredients and made them again. For some reason, they took a lot longer to make the second time, but they were just as delicious!

Had one for lunch the next day over kale salad with extra filling tossed in!

I took Mazen to the library for Lego Mania! Needless to say, he loved it. Look at that concentration!

Yesterday’s lunch was an omelet-scramble mix. Spinach, cherry tomatoes, 3 eggs, dill, and cheese, sort of folded into one big omelet. With Red Hot Blues on the side!

Then I got my hurr did.

Happy weekend!!

    Smart dog – running all morning and napping all afternoon sounds like a pretty great day 🙂 Your hair looks really nice, happy Friday!

    This may not get posted, but it’s rather tone-deaf to post about not realizing you have dental insurance the day after Congress voted to take away millions of people’s health insurance. It seems odd you wouldn’t know you had dental insurance; mine costs money, so I see the money going to an insurance company. You’ve blogged about keeping a budget; it seems like you would have noticed outgoing payments, too.

      You’re right – bad timing. It’s a really small portion of Mazens insurance which is a small portion of my bill and I think it’s required under Obamacare to have. You are totally right that it is dumb of me not to know to use it, which I admitted!! Just hoping to help others who might be in the same boat.

        Depending how long ago Mazen’s last dental visit was, it may not be too late to file a claim.

        So I don’t think that Kath is saying that she didn’t know she had dental coverage, but that she was saying that she didn’t realize it covered routine cleanings. Not all health insurance includes dental coverage at all. Mine is completely separate from my health insurance and 100% optional. The level of coverage you have will determine what actually gets covered.

    When I saw your comment about dental insurance, that was my first thought. If you are part of the ACA exchange, it is mandatory to provide pediatric dental (which rubbed some the wrong way–specifically those without kids). It was one of those things that was part of the original act passed in 2009-2010 and a good reminder to those who may not realize it. I think pediatric eye care may be included as well as routine eye care??

    I don’t think it was “tone deaf” but rather an easy oversight. Health insurance is one of those really difficult things to keep track of, and it was a good reminder to those of your readers, indeed.

    Your omelet looks amazing

    Haha reminds me of my chihuahua who gets tired from walking to the mailbox and back. Something about tiny legs or something 😉 Or maybe it’s because he spends about 23 hours a day snoozing in the sun!

    What a good reminder about dental insurance as a part of the overall health insurance. If you’re comfortable sharing, I’d love to know how you “do” health insurance as a non-traditional business owner. Do you obtain your coverage from the ACA marketplace? Somewhere else? You make it look so easy!!! 🙂

      Yes, I bought it through Anthem and have used them almost the whole time since going back to school. No complaints.

    I think Amanda has a theme called thinking out loud Thursday and Janie has Tuesday tangents. You should create one called funky Friday? Haha.

    Does your sister still blog? How is she doing with her new baby? Do you ever see her? I know it must be hard being so far away!! Doesn’t Matt’s brother have a baby too? Do y’all ever see that babe? How’s Karen? Sorry so many questions! I loved hearing about your family, but we haven’t had an update on them.. I know it’s hard once divorced to keep in touch with in laws, but they were part of your family for quite some time!! It sounds like you and Matt are on great terms, though, which is AWESOME! 🙂

      She does still blog – here! The baby is great – 6 months old! We got to see everyone a few months ago when they came east from Dallas. Matt’s brother Andrew has a little girl named Ava. We saw them and Karen over Christmas! And we’ll see Karen again in a few weeks and Mazen is going with her to visit Ava!

          No worries!! We bloggers need a mini news feed so you can get all the bullet points if you miss a few weeks or months : )

            Haha seriously! I go through phases of reading blogs daily and then just fall off the face of the earth for a while and when I come back I’m like, oh wow! Clearly a LOT has changed!

    My fiance and I also have a rocky relationship with Red Hot Blues. The two of us can polish off a bag in two days! They are THE BEST. I think we’ll have to stay broken up until after I fit into my wedding dress 🙂
