Catching up...

I'm catching up here. I've posted a couple pictures of my car since my accident. In case you wondered how much damage it takes to total a 10 year old Alero. Make sure you have your glasses on to see the damage. The back bumper (three components) are damaged and my trunk is smushed in.

Now I have some pictures of my pride and joy.....My pineapple plant. It started shooting up the flower 3-4 weeks ago. When we first moved here, we ate a pineapple. We cut off the top and I planted it in an empty plastic salsa tub. It appeared to not be doing anything so it ended up in the garage for maybe 3-4 months with no water or sun. Then I realized it was still alive...so I planted it on our upstairs lanai in a real container. Then I watered it about once every 2 months for over a year. Then I upgraded it to the downstairs lanai. I started caring for it and watering it. Still no flower. Next I started making comments to it, like...."you are such a disappointment to Brian and I", "you're not getting any younger you know", " after everything I've done for you, your not even going to make me a pineapple?!"....Then, before I knew it, we had the flower. I will take weekly pictures.

Still Kindicted....even can read it in the rain at the beach thru a ziplock bag. I'm reading the "House of Night" series which is like a cross between twilight and harry potter. But since its on my kindle, maybe people think I'm reading something intellectual.

Kindicted


I realized today I have a problem....I'm Kindicted! Brian has been complaining about how all I do is spend time on my Kindle. I sit there and read all night and ignore him. This week, I even stopped doing dishes. Today, I realized I have to cut back. I've read 8 or 9 books since xmas. Brian pointed out that I was reading two books a week. Sometimes I think I read that much because I haven't been sewing since my car accident.

Good news is that I start my physical therapy on Feb 7th. I'm very excited to hopefully be feeling better soon. I'm hoping to learn exercises to help me throughout my life as a dentist. My Dr. isolated my right arm pain to my neck. Apparently, it is radiating from my neck to my shoulder and down my arm to my fingers. I take a lot of Ibuprofen, but it doesn't always work.

I'm also enjoying my new teapot from Ahmie, because I can enjoy my pounds and pounds of chinese tea!

I have to go into work on my day off...Monday this weekend. Total bummer. Its a long story, but it involves me getting a decent paycheck and 4 crowns that didn't arrive in time. My paycheck is based on monthly production..

I am going to try to only "play kindle" for an hour a day (outside of work of course)....

I'm BACK!!!

I'm sure everyone has given up on my blog...but I'm back. I just received my new laptop today fully loaded courtesy of my bro....Its awesome. I've been out of the loop since the beginning of Oct when my previous laptop died. My amazing brother saved all of my data, pictures, music...

Now Brian and I are back in business! Its already improved our lives in the past 45 min. He's watching American Pickers and I'm busy with this!

I will upload pictures and be back at it this week!

Love u all!
