Warning this May Cause Anal Leakage

You know what I'm talking about. The commercials about medications that are out saying that they are great and can improve your life. Earlier today I heard one that may cause death or high pressure which could lead to death. That's what it said word for word! Man, I want to go right out and buy that medication. I just do not understand, why put a medication out that can cause a stroke, heart attack or death and that is taking the correct dosage. That's my Wednesday rant. :)

Death by Soup

So as you know I had my wisdom teeth removed on Friday, and if you have ever had yours removed..you know that you have to eat soft food (ie. soup, mashed potatoes). I tell you one thing, I am SO tired of eating soups. It doesnt fill me up that well. And also, it just get old. I dont exactly know when I get to eat "real" food, but hopefully soon. I tried to eat a granola bar for breakfast this morning...it didnt hurt, it was more the oh gosh what if I have some in the holes in my mouth, then I get an infection. So I was a little scared. My jaw is a little sore today also. Perhaps it's the more chewing thing or possibly I did talk a lot today since I worked and we all know I can chat. (It runs in the family)



On another note, I officially have many presents under the tree. Mom and I wrapped all the presents for Christmas this weekend during my recovery. I am so excited about Christmas coming up. I cant believe it is almost here.

D-day is Over

Well..today was the day. I had my wisdom teeth removed. I had the surgery at 10:40. It only took about 30 min. Of course I was knocked out. I dont remember much of the car ride back. When I got back home I of course when straight to the bed and slept. I woke up here and there to change my gauze (NASTY). I slept until about 4. Now watching Y&R. I know I know....it's just I am addicted to the show. :) I currently have numbness on my face. I feel like that is the worst part. I'm just ready for that to be over and also the ability to take these darn gauze our for good! I am also ready for some good food. I havent eaten anything since 11:30 last night. Just really havent been up to the whole food thing yet. Probably next time I change the gauze I will eat. I have to go back in a week so they can check and make sure everything is doing fine. It should be. :) However, it is nice to be able to just sit and relax and have my mom wait on me hand and foot! :) My dad is coming over in a few hours and I think he is coming over tomorrow night..so that will be nice. That's all for now...I am going to relax some more! :)

It's That Time Again

This weekend I put up my tree with all of the decorations. Putting it up was the easy part. I had my mind set on the colors I wanted to decorate my tree in. PINK! I thought I had it all planned out. I saw the lights I wanted at Target and all I needed to find was the ornaments which should be easy to find bright colored ornaments. So I went to Target and they only had 2 boxes of lights. And 2 boxes definitely will not cover a 7 foot tree. So I asked one of the workers if there were any more and she said they didnt have anymore and was able to look at the other Target inventory. Of course...no other target had any. And they were not getting any more shipments in. I decided...well Walmart should have some...NOPE, Hobby Lobby: Nope, NO ONE HAD THEM!!! I was freaking out because I really had this all planned out and had my ornaments ready to go. Right when I was about to give up, my mom called me and told me that Walgreens (who would have known) had pink lights. So I stopped by and got 7 boxes. My sister Lori also bought me a box for my birthday. Now my tree is pretty in pink! :) Here is a picture of it. I will be getting a tree skirt too. Cant wait...because my mom comes along with the tree skirt and unfortunately so does my wisdom teeth surgery. :(

Crazy Weekend

So mom came down for Thanksgiving! It was great seeing her. I was sad when she left today. We had a very very busy weekend though. Thanksgiving day I was at my dads until I went to pick up mom at the airport. Then of course off to see the beautiful Ava. Then I took mom to Mrs. Dots because she was spending the night since they were getting up super early for shopping on Black Friday. Then I drove home all the way to Hodges at 12:30. LONG DAY. Then the next two days we shopped shopped and shopped! I am so worn out today. I usually get to sleep in at least one day...but that didnt happen. This week is going to be fun. It's the last week of classes before finals start and also my 22nd birthday. I cannot believe it's already here. Where did 21 go? Also, our work Christmas party is Friday at the Wine Cellar and Saturday Darrell is taking me to dinner for my birthday. Yes...great weekend of food! :) Also, this weekend coming up I am going to set up my Christmas decorations. Ugh...busy busy busy!!! I'm very excited. Mom comes back to Jacksonville in two weeks when I get my wisdom teeth out on the 12th (not excited about that!). But I am ready for a day of relaxation. Here are a couple of pictures of mom, ava, and myself from this weekend.

O-town....Here I Come!

First off....what a miserable day. Work went well, except the crazy man on the phone getting mad at us because we would not give him a refund. But I have been sneezing, sniffling, blowing my nose, EVERYTHING today! UGH...the allergies are back. Driving me crazy. I'm tired of having to buy medicine for it that is $15. That is ridiculous. So I did have some sinus medication (the drowsy kind) that I took when I got home. So I'm writing while I'm sleepy and have a headache.

But on to more happy things...

This weekend is going to be a fun filled one. Darrell and I are going down to Orlando to visit Tina. I havent seen her since...gosh July maybe (too long). Her birthday was last week and mine is in a couple weeks so we decided to celebrate both of our birthdays. So I am very excited to see her. We really dont have any plans but I do get to spend some time with her. I miss having her as a roommate. She is doing great down in Orlando though. I am so happy she loves her job. That was very important to her. But I wish she still lived here. We still cant decide if we are leaving Friday night or early Saturday morning because Tina has a work thing Friday night. So still undecided. But either way this is going to be a fabulous weekend! :)

My Best Friend

My mom moved almost 6 months ago to Atlanta. It's tough not seeing her as often as I used to. I went from seeing here every weekend to maybe once a month. You don't realize how much you miss someone until they are gone. I am excited for Thanksgiving because she is coming down. I usually don't go shopping the day after Thanksgiving because it's SOOOO early! But I am this year since I dont get to see mom much. She is coming down when I get my wisdom teeth out which will be nice. You always need your mommy when you are not feeling well. I am ready for her and Jim to come back to Jacksonville. I miss the both of them very much. I know eventually they will be back here but it's not soon enough. However I am glad Jim did get this job in Atlanta because it did allow my mom to quit her job, which was WAY too stressful, and is now able to relax for a while and do something for herself. However, it is possible they could be moving to Alabama for another job. Which would be awesome for Jim. But I hope it takes them home soon!

ps. GO NOLES!

They're taking my wisdom away....

So, for the past 4 days my tooth has been aching. So today I decided to go to the dentist to get to the bottom of it. My worst nightmare happened. Dr. Yorko said that I do have an infection so he prescribed me some antibiotics and pain meds, THEN, told me that I have to get my wisdom teeth taken out. YAY! So in about 2 weeks I am going to get my wisdom teeth taken out. Yes right before Thanksgiving. I thought to myself...OH NO, what if i cant eat at thanksgiving. I know, leave it to me to think about food right? I am kind of nervous about the whole thing. I'm not excited about this at all. So for now I'm doing alright with the pain medication and pennicillin. Just ready to get it all over with.

My First

So..I still have about 2 years of school for my bachelors degree here at UNF. But I am definitely not finished there. Four more after that at Optometry school. I feel like it will never get here. I feel as if I have been in school forever. Right now I am trying to finish as soon as possible so I am taking full loads during the summer semesters also. I miss having my summer breaks. Sometimes I feel like a zombie with constant school work. I got a letter from The Southern College of Optometry, in Tennessee this weekend telling me they are going to be at UNF on Thursday. So I am kind of excited to see what they have to say. I hope I have time to get to talk to them because I do have class that day. I am ready to go to Optometry school. I really enjoy learning about the job at work. I wish I was able to work a little more during the week so I could much more. But school takes up so much time right now. But eventually I'll finish.....
