Tangled

HOW STINKIN CUTE IS SHE!!!!

Yesterday Mom & Dad took Sophie to see Tangled for her birthday! They let me tag along!!! We had a blast!! We all loved the movie! Even Dad said it was really good, but at the end his eyes watered a little bit... but it was "from the 3D glasses" ... uh huh!

I cannot believe how big Sophie is getting, and how grown up she is!

I love you Sophie!

Happy 4th Birthday!!

Sweet!

 My Aunt ROCKS!!!

I had such a sweet surprise today! My Aunt Lynda called and said she had "a little something" for me! It "wasn't much" she said... She came in to deliver my "little something" and this is what it was....

Everything I need to make German Pecan Drop Cookies

This is more than "a little something" and the PERFECT gift for me!!

 Here is everything that was in it... Right down to the cookie sheet!

What is that little red box you ask?? It is "1 dozen home made German Pecan Drop Cookies to enjoy until you have time to bake your own" 

Oh yeah... that's what I'm talking about!!

What a TREAT!! Thank you SO MUCH Aunt Lynda!!

You MADE MY DAY!!!

Almost exactly a year apart... they GROW SO FAST!

Sedum

We had sedum plants across the front of our house...

I didn't like them at all...

They were big and bushy and attracted tons of bees and bugs to the point that I didn't want to use my front door. Granted these are beautiful plants, they are just not something that I like...

SO... AWAY THEY WENT!

 Dad came over and helped Andrew dig them up. They are going to go live at my parents house! Then they pulled up the plastic and worked the ground to prepare it for next year.

One step closer in our "home improvements!"

Thanks again Dad! You were a HUGE HELP!!!

Going, Going...

GONE!

Your voices have been heard!

My Playlist is...

GONE!

Thank you all for your input! I was pleasantly surprised that people actually stop by and check on my blog! I actually didn't really care about the music. I often found myself shutting it off for the same reasons as most of you!

Thank you everyone!

Stay or Go??

My dearest followers... hahaha... just kidding... I don't even know if anyone follows me! BUT... if you are out there... LET ME KNOW!!!!

Stay or Go?

No... I am not talking about my blog... I am talking about the music that plays automatically when you visit me. 

Stay or Go?

Is it fun? Annoying? What?

Do you just scroll down and turn it off as I often find myself doing? 

Stay or Go?

(CONFESSION: I also kind of want to see if anyone even reads my blog)

GUTTED

So... Last Wednesday, October 27, I was GUTTED...

I had surgery to remove both my gallbladder and my appendix.

They both had STONES in them.

Recovery is going well. I have been doing my best to get up and be moving... which has helped. I still feel like someone picked me up and shook me as hard as they could, displacing all my organs...and I guess removing some too! I have 7 holes in my abdomen...

I have been SO LUCKY to have such AMAZING people around that care SO MUCH! My Mom stayed by my side practically from 6:30 Wednesday morning until 6:30 Saturday night. She was the one who made sure I got up and moved, and took my pain meds (which I HATE)... THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I have also had so many people call and check on my, come visit, bring dinner, and their babies to make me smile! 

All in all, surgery sucks... but I have people around who make it ok!

THANK YOU!
