What follows a Manic Monday?

Why that would be a Terrific Tuesday, Alex!
Ha ha who am I kidding? Today was disastrous - but only for a moment
because I decided what better to do with a day you know is already
going to be long...find something to eat up all the time with! So I
cook, and perhaps I am guilty of taking some frustration out on
spaghetti sauce but no matter because after walking away for a moments
time I came back refreshed.
So I am reading a book that I pretty much swore to myself I would
never pick up...it is irksome, it has some way too detailed play by
play moments and is all too creepy. But I just can't walk away from
it! Ahh what am I to do?
I discovered that I wish it were summer - wanna know how I came to
that realization? Because I am pasty white and pretty much glow in the
dark because I am such. UGH! Summer you can't come soon enough.
Now I've gotta go catch up on the Bachelor because I'm a lil behind
and I have my fingers crossed that Michelle had a freak out of some
sort and gets sent packin! One can only hope! I think it is safe to
bank on that though!

Livin' on a prayer!

Just sayin I love my friends esp friends who will pour pop rocks
directly into ones mouth. Makes your brain
rattle! I love the driving range, I love my new hair and I think that
some people take life waaaay too srsly!
Live a lil and learn to breath and let live - trust me it works! It
has been half time show for far too long and I'm
ready with my game face on to have surgery! Whoa did I just really say that?

Out OF Control!

Well at least I know my sleep schedule will be overcome by my drug use
after my surgery. I woke up at 3 this morning and I'm in desperate
need of sleep! My surgery can't come soon enough! And I miss my
sisters :( They all need to come back!

Yoga Toes!

So I knew my pedicure was to ensure that as I go to physical therapy
each week I have something pretty to look at. Duh - always an
explanation behind everythihng I do.
So in PT for the next 2 weeks they are prepping me for bedrest. Aww,
how thoughtful! They want to make sure I don't get bored while in bed.
So what they did is gave me a list of things to do while recovering.
I'll have to be sure to thank them for this. And yes, when I go to PT
it is not just one therapist I work with but I get the opportunity to
hang with ALL of them on most occasions!
My newest at home session includes doing yoga toes! Can I tell you, it
is the most relaxing thing that it actually borders on boring!? They
must've have been mistaken because I think they thought I enjoyed it
because they have me doing it every HOUR for the next upteen weeks!
Holy tuna I don't know what'll kill me first. The fact that I'll be
deprived of ice cream and pizza or that I have to do yoga toes! I'll
be sure to let you know when the time comes ;)
{see therapy has taught me how to be considerate and thoughtful - ha
ha yeah right}

So two weeks and counting until I hit my 8 weeks of rx bedrest! Will I survive? Will I be able to make it through this time without an ankle sprain to the oppsing foot? Will I be able to get everything on my to do list done? My paper ring countdown is quickly losing it's rings and I'm concerned time is slipping away from me. Will I be able to finish my quilt and will I ever stop craving ice cream? Stay tuned for the answer to these questions and a better post coming to a computer screen near you!

Not a creature was stirring...

Shh...do you hear that??

Nothing, eh?

It's because all is quiet in the Anderson casa this evening. Sad that everyone is gone but my ankle is pretty happy because I'm back to my routine. Embarrassing that my routine consists of sitting around most days but it's comfortable to have it silent and calm.

My family came to town for a wedding...the nieces and nephews were here and it was bliss! PURE bliss! I loved it because seriously - no contest - kids can always make you smile and feel loved. Ingenious I tell you - there is something to be learned from their abilities. It is fun to be able to play and converse with them. They teach me so much and I love it!

but alas a side dish of misery of course has to be served up with my plate of happiness...I'm sick :( I'm drugged and feelin pretty good about it though...night my lovlies*

Good Grief

Another year has come and gone...and I love it! I have surgery again in a few weeks but if I weren't this would be my motivational video for the new year. What are your new year resolutions??
