Tomorrow, Ruby and I are going to brave the elements to have some fun.

She suggested going to Snoqualmie Falls during the day, but I honestly think the weather is going to affect our ability to do that. If we get as much snow overnight as the forecasts say we will, the roads will be pretty messy in the morning.

So...that is only tentatively scheduled right now. Maybe we can replace that with something else. We need to talk tonight and discuss a backup plan.

However, tomorrow night we are going to the Auburn Performing Arts Center to see Giordano Jazz Dance Chicago. I got orchestra seats, although I don't know how close we'll be to the stage. I can't imagine the theatre is that huge.

Before that, we'll be getting a pizza at Garlic Jim's.

So if nothing else, tomorrow will be about pizza and dancing. And that's never a bad thing.

Apparently, I have Angina

You learn something new everyday.

So it all started Monday when I called my doctor's office to switch out a prescription. She took me off my bc pill and put me on the Nuva Ring. Well, after 3 months of using that, I absolutely hate it, so I called to get switched back to the pill.

A short while later, the doc's office called me back to confirm that they called my prescription into Target and I could go pick it up.

I tried to pick it up later on that day. Target told me that they had absolutely no record of the prescription.

So the next morning I called the doctor's office again. I was told that they had indeed called the scrip into Target, but that they would do it again for good measure.

Today I was in Target. Checked at the pharmacy counter. Again, no record of my prescription.

Now I was getting angry. Since my doc's office is just a couple miles down the hill anyway, I decided to go there in person.

Walked in and talked to a person at reception. She looked up my record.

"Oh yes. Target called us on Tuesday evening to reject your prescription. According to their records, you have a history of Angina, and they refuse to fill your scrip."

*blink blink*

What?

I started laughing, almost maniacally. "Angina? Wouldn't I know if I had that? Wouldn't it be in my medical records?"

So I was told to sit in the waiting room and a nurse would speak with me.

She came out a short time later and was kind of chuckling. She explained that she was the one who called in my prescription. No, she has no idea where Target got this idea that I had Angina, and when she asked them about it, they told her that I gave them that information.

Uh....okay.

So then I asked her why they had no problem filling my Nuva Ring prescription, yet refuse to give me Ortho Tri-Cyclen. It was my understanding that they had roughly the same hormones.

"I was wondering that myself," she said.

We laughed.

So anyway...my doctor will take care of this tomorrow. And if Target insists that I cannot have this prescription, they will call it into Walgreens for me.

*rolls eyes*

That's it. My stupid quota has been met for today.

Heavens to Mergatroid...why is it so hard to find a chocolate chip cookie recipe that doesn't contain shortening?

I have everything but the shortening, and I want to make dessert for Ruby and I to have with our dinner tomorrow.

Anyway, I found these. So I guess I'll be trying this recipe tonight.

(ETA: I only have 6 oz. of chocolate...not enough for a normal batch of cookies, and this recipe calls for exactly the amount of chocolate I have.)

Because we're getting 0-4 inches of snow overnight, baby! So why not do some baking? Hehe.

The plan tomorrow is that we'll go to Waxen Art to make candles at around 1 pm. When we're done with that, we'll just hang out somewhere and do whatever until 5-ish. Then we'll order a pizza. Then we'll go to the dance show.

And the cookies...

...are really greasy. Yikes. But 2 sticks of butter will do that.

I'm not fond of this recipe. But I am freezing half for Lance. He'll eat them. The other half I am giving to Ruby & her husband, although I suspect he will mostly be the one eating them.

I had my reservations about the recipe, but I didn't want to make a run to the store, I had butter that was near its expiration date, and I don't generally use baking chocolate unless it's around Christmas, so I needed to clean that out of the pantry.
