As the Dixie Chicks would say, "Been a long time gone..."
(the Title section wasn't working...)


Ok, so the Ocho has been out of the game for a while in more ways than one, but in the aftermath of the destruction of her life that was immigration, she has decided to pick up the pieces, refocus her life and get herself organized and back on track.
First, we'll tip a little out for the immigration bill. No, HP08 doesn't want to talk about it and won't bore those that don't care with the details. Let's just leave it at the fact the the Ocho has a lot more free time on her hands now, which is good considering everything that has been going on.
So, what's been going on? Well HP08 will tell you... To start, meet the newest member of the Ocho clan, Baby Ocho:





Abigail Marie was born on June 20th, 2007 in College Station, TX making the Ocho a proud Aunt for the first time.





















Senor Ocho and HP08 spent the Fourth of July weekend in College Station with the proud parents and the little bundle of poop.















As you can see, the newest Ocho is adorable. She spends most of her days sleeping, eating and pooing. A life the rest of us can only dream of.

Other than spoiling Baby Ocho, HP08 has spent a lot of her time the last couple of weeks in and out of doctor's offices. Because the Ocho has been so busy at work, she's been putting off a number of different check-ups and tried to cram as many of them in as possible in the two days she was in town and in recess last week. The result? An MRI and MRA Wednesday afternoon and a root canal Wednesday morning. HP08 isn't 100% sure what is involved with a root canal, but here is a photo to help explain:























Get it now? Nope...HP08 either. All she knows is that it's her old dentist's fault for putting in a filling without actually getting all of the cavity out and has nothing to do with her general dental hygiene.
The MRI and the MRA are to rule out the possibility that the Ocho's brain is going to explode. The Wednesday after Little Pepper, HP08 experienced her first ever migraine. They think that it's an ocular migraine which means it has something to do with her eye sight, but they have to rule out the possibility of a brain aneurysm too (that's the exploding part.) All HP08 knows is that she had a bad headache and she had spots in her visions like this (minus the clock because the Ochos don't have a clock like that):
















Well, there really is too much news to discuss it all at the point so, for next time, the Ocho will discuss her new physical therapy to fix her hip flexor. Expect many more posts from HP08 from now on since she's got nothin' but time on her hands.

And in conclusion, she'll let the Chicks sum up her feelings about the last few months and her sad, dead immigration bill:
The rest is a long time gone
No, I aint hit the roof since I dont know when
Long time gone
And it aint coming back
I said a long time gone
No, I aint honked the horn since I dont know when
Long time gone
And it aint coming back again
