A song from my favorite band is day 11 in the music challenge.
My all time favorite band is Dave Matthews Band. I have seen them play live 7 times. I was the weird kid in the 4th or 5th grade who liked the Backstreet Boys, but was OBSESSED with Dave Matthews Band!
Don't Drink the Water by Dave Matthews Band
I love this song! I hope you enjoy it.

30 Day Music Challange - Day 10
Day 10 of the 30 day music challenge is a song that makes you fall asleep.
I hate the quiet! I can't fall asleep when it is quiet. Too bad my husband hates noise when he is trying to sleep. So...I listen to my ipod on the nights when the silence feels a little too immense.
I love to listen to this one as I drift off
The Trapeze Swinger by Iron and Wine
Then, if I really can't sleep I go to this one
Gopala Hare by The Best of Wah

30 Day Music Challange - Day 9
Day 9 of the challenge is a song you can dance to. It is no secret...I CAN'T dance! I can do the concert dancing...you know where you bounce up and down with you hand in the air. But really...that's the extent of my dancing.
Not for a lack of trying either. I took dance classes in middle and high school. I can follow a choreographed dance...kind of, but really...it's not pretty.
Here are two songs that I can dance to...
and
There was a dance I learned in high school to this song too, so I'm sure it would come back to me...maybe.
So there you have it...I am a terrible dancer.

Military Insurance in a Civilian World
The last two weeks I have been on an insurance crusade.
We have military insurance and it is a joke! In the civilian world doctors don't take our insurance because the insurance company is notorious for not paying. This makes the list of doctors who participate rather short.
In January when I was pregnant I found out that there is only one OB in Evansville that is in our network. I made an appt with them. From the start I had nothing but trouble with his office. I called a few weeks before my appt because I was spotting and they blew me off. It took 2 more phone calls that day before they agreed to do an ultrasound. It took me 2 days and 5 phone calls to get my u/s results. They didn't want to do bloodwork. They insisted I was fine.
I was sitting in Dr. Asshole's office while he was telling me that I could be miscarrying or it could be an ectopic pregnancy and he said, "it is not my job to save babies. I know a lot of people think it is, but that's not my job. I don't save babies for a living."
Really?! It's not his job to save babies? Then what is his job?
Now, I am rational person and I know that in many/most cases an early miscarriage like mine can't be "fixed". Many times there isn't anything a doctor can do, but to tell me his job isn't to save babies? Out of line if you ask me! What if I hadn't miscarried and something happened when I was further along in my pregnancy?
So, this week I have been trying to get a new OB approved from my insurance. I had my primary doc put in a referral and I submitted all the appropriate paperwork.
Yesterday I got a letter from my insurance company saying that they are denying my request and they are "redirecting" me to Dr. Asshole. Needless to say...I was pissed!
I called them up and I was informed that part of my insurance agreement is that I will drive up to an hour to see a specialist and there 2 other doc's within an hour of me. They think it is ok to have to drive an hour to deliver a baby (when the time comes of course). Not to mention, these docs are in a completely different state!
I explained to the man on the phone what happened with the last OB and he said that requesting an out of network provider will not be approved simply because I thought the network doc had bad bedside manner.
What I don't understand is how another girl that lives 6 blocks from me and has the same insurance as me got a non-network doc approved. She never even had to endure Dr. Asshole, she requested a different doc based on my experience.
After 2 phone calls and 2 supervisors they resubmitted my request to a "tier 2" manager.
Maybe I am out of line, but I do NOT want to drive an hour to see a doctor and I ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT GO BACK TO DR. ASSHOLE!!!!!
I will call everyday, like I have been for 2 weeks until I get what I want! It should not be this difficult to get decent health care.

30 Day Music Challange - Day 7
Happy Easter dear blog readers! I hope everyone is enjoying their day, don't eat too many peeps!
Day 7 of the 30 day music challenge is a song that reminds you of an event. This is another that I could go on and on with but I'll keep it to just 2 for today. Enjoy!
Set it Off by Audioslave
This song reminds me of a very interesting night when I was in college. I was in the barracks on the base where my husband (fiance at the time) was living. I am not going to go into detail because well...I'm not sure I want to air my dirty laundry on here yet. Let's just say it involved me, a couple very large Marines, a 2 story beer bong and trouble unfolded from there... ;)
The Dynamo of Volition by Jason Mraz
This song reminds me of my first day of culinary school. I was nervous and excited and I listened to this the whole morning while I was getting ready and driving there.

30 Day Music Challange - Day 6
Day 6 is a song that reminds you of somewhere.
Hang Me Up to Dry by Cold War Kids
This song reminds me of the beach in San Diego. Oh how I miss that place!
Stellar by Incubus
This one reminds me of the barracks on MCAS Miramar. I used to live in my hubby's barracks room (WAY against the rules) before we got married. We had some really good times and some really good friends.
Blister in the Sun by The Violent Femmes
This song reminds of one of my high school jobs. I worked in a sandwich shop called Roly Poly. We used to play this in the kitchen after the boss left!
