It’s been a long time since last post. I feel better now. Yay!
So here’s what happened: I slept a lot. But seriously, TMH was great from what I remember. Everyone was really nice. They gave me something to “relax” that promptly made me fall asleep. I woke up once in recovery to throw up on myself. The nurse said something and shoved a towel on my shoulder. I fell back asleep. The second time however, I was aware enough to tell the nurse and she gave me a cup. The towel I think had disappeared by then. By the third time, I was pretty awake and got a new cup and they decided to give me something else to combat the nausea. Which almost immediately made me fall back to sleep. Andrew said it took a lot longer to wake up than they had told us.
We stopped to eat on the way home. My throat was really sore from the breathing tube I guess. I had to take a sip of water with every bite to get it to swallow. I didn’t eat much and I was falling asleep again. That’s pretty much how it went for a few days. They gave me Percocet, but it is more of an uncomfortable thing than a hurt thing, so I only ended up using a few. They didn’t help. I hate sleeping on my sides. I think I’m over the sleeping-on-my-side thing because Andrew said I was sleeping on my back snoring a few days ago.
We went to Ruby Tuesday for some “roughage” because all I had eaten in as few days was fries. When Andrew left to use the bathroom I began arguing with a song on the radio just as the waiter stopped by. I might be embarrassed the next time we go if I could remember who the guy was. Silly anesthesia.
Andrew’s family came over for pizza on Monday. It was the most that I was able to sit up without being dizzy. I think everyone had a good time.
I have one more appointment to get the stitches out and then I’ll be golden!
On a completely unrelated note, it was so cold this morning that all the grass had frost on it. I hope I didn’t kill my spider plants. We went to get coffee and there was such a layer of ice on the car that the cup kept sliding off the roof. Silly ice. Temperatures in the teens are too cold.

Xmas Eve!
Happy Xmas Eve! I’m so excited!
Last night almost all the Watkins’ got together for dinner at Morallia’s (sp?). Man did that waiter work! 20+ people and he was all by himself. But I don’t think he got any orders wrong. It was nice to talk to Carly and Aunt Shelly. It was nice to see everyone else too; we were just sitting next to them. At the end of the table. Near the wall. lol
Tonight is dinner with “the in-laws” and presents I think. I’m making Andrew wait until Xmas morning to open his from me. I don’t really know what’s going on though with stockings and such on Xmas. I guess it really doesn’t matter :)
I had to go get a blood test today. So I figured it might be busy. I forgot it was Xmas Eve. It took like 15 minutes. I got there at 6:30 and was walking slowly to the car since I don’t know where my office keys are. The lady was wonderful. He roped off my arm and patted and patted and patted. I told her that you can at least see the vein on top of my hand. So she flipped my hand and was like “Woah, that’s much different from your arm. I’ll make a note of that.” She hit it the very first time. Yay! And luckily the office was open. I think someone forgot to lock it last night though because I did a walkthrough and didn’t see anyone. I have a Dr. appointment later this morning too. I have a big ol’ band-aid on my hand though because she didn’t want the cotton ball normal thing to come off.
Woohoo! It’s Xmas Eve! At 7:45am, Santa is in Khabarovsk, Russia *<]:{D}}}

Budget?
Redneck 12 Days of Xmas. <- after much upload trouble, here it is.
Kittens running up a slide. This is too cute.
For a bit of Xmas music. They’ve been playing it since at least Thanksgiving.
An awesome potato song.
The feast is mine!
We had fun playing frisbee golf with Hoyt and Carrie this weekend. We also had everyone come over for dinner so Andrew could play with his deep fryer. I like it when the family is over. Addy only made me nervous once when she threw the panda, but she was very very good! We played Apples to Apples and Balderdash. It was only until Addy had her meltdown that folks decided that maybe it was time to go home. :)
We got all of out Xmas shopping done. Now all we need are a few more things for stockings and for me to get my craft act together.
December budget? What December budget?

Busy weekend
This weekend was wonderful. Andrew played poker with his family, I got our house decorated, we played Frisbee golf with Nicole, Robert & Addy, watched the Xmas parade thing, went to Market Days, made fondue, watched a movie and played a game that Lauren gave us for Xmas.
Friday night Andrew went to play poker with his family at Grandpa’s place. That gave me time to decorate the house without whining :). I managed to get everything out this year that wasn’t broken. I was going to wait for Andrew to help me put up the tree because I didn’t remember how to do it, but when I got it out to look, it was easy. The hardest part was finding the lights plug for the middle section that I forgot to plug in. I love our Xmas tree. The snowbabies are perched perilously on the china cabinet. But the display is impressive I think. :)
We woke up later that we were planning to to go to play at the park. Robert is too good at Frisbee golf. It was fun. Addy came and was cute. Nicole played some too. That night we went to the Winter Festival thing downtown with the family. It was fun. Andrew had to work until after it started, so we decided to skip the headache and just park at FSU and walk from there. Let me tell you, that is a haul. We walked through the lights on Park and Addy got her face painted by Daisy the Clown (aka Lauren). Andrew got some food and I got a corndog. We watched the top half of the parade since we were so far back. We saw Lauren on stilts. Woohoo!
Sunday was Market Days. We wandered around all the booths and bought some stuff. We got a crapload of scrubbies. These should last all year. We wore the one we have completely out. It was so worn out it was soft. :) We got some Xmas presents and a birthday present. Andrew also got some dip stuff. It was totally fun. Addy managed to pour an entire bottle of water on herself, so they bought her a new shirt to wear. She was out cold before we left.
The plan was to cook dinner for Lauren & Paige and then take them to see the TCC production of A Christmas Carol. Well, we did the dinner part. Andrew made cheese fondue. It was wonderful. Better than last time. We also had chocolate fondue for dessert. We piled into the car and made it to TCC, but it was strangely deserted. Whoops! No play tonight! Saturday must have been the last day. It was a nice ride though. ;) Instead we watched A Muppet Christmas Carol. Only the best Xmas movie ever. Lauren gave us presents. I got a game that is totally the Calvinball of board games. It was so much fun to play! Andrew got a deep fryer. He was so excited about it. Thanks Lauren! We love you!
We are going to start the shopping tonight for what else we need. I like my secret stocking person. They are easy to buy for :)
You know how they find images of Jesus in toasted cheese sandwiches?
Cream filling!
Flamingos v gnomes
Ew! Dog germs!
If Chuck Norris was a dog…

Xmas decorations!
