Look at it this way MOOOOOOM. You’re bein’ good to take off the trash and recyclin’. This entitles you to reward yourself with chawklit while you’re out. That’s your positive reinforcement for bein’ good. Win-Win! 
Also, I am outta the irkplace until Tuesday as of one p.m. YAY!!!
Except there’s no place selling anything between home and the convenience center - well, except the post office. Not much chocolate there. 
It is 8Pm here and I are a teensy bit toasted :D:D
Me and my mam contemplated opening a bottle of wine at 3.20 this afternoon but we held off until about 5.30. So that is all virtuous and stuff
Yay swampy for being done with work for a bit. Whoo and Hoo!
filbert my Dad keeps bees and makes honey and loves it. Bees are awesome!
My glass is empty…
: wanders off towards the fridge flinging celebratory confetti in her wake :
I’m going to make a second attempt at making Rebo’s meatball recipe stuffed with smoked mozzarella at some point today. Although, I’m lacking enthusiasm at this moment.
The trash and recycling have been disposed of. Laundry is done, except for a little bit of folding. **FCD **is crashed out -poor baby.
What to do for supper tonight…
i’ve been a blue blur today. (Cuz I’m wearing a blue shirt, that’s why!)
One last trip to the doc, a few oddball xmas items bought, prescriptions picked up, lunch et, picked up egg drop soup for DH, a few loads of laundry, a quick “fluff and buff” of the bathrooms, and wrap gifts… Good thing I’ll be sleeping through much of tomorrow!
Weird thinking that my date with an artificial disc is finally here. Tomorrow morning at six, I’ll be at the hospital, getting pre-opped. Biggest mystery is how much of my beard will be lost.
gotti why would they need to shave your beard? Are they replacin’ the disc through your face? :eek:
I am soooooo disappointed. Devastated. Just Devastated. Devastated I say! I got me a pizza from Pizza Hut and the back of the coupon invitated me to participate in an online survey enticin’ me with the promise that I could be the instant winner of an ipod. Well, who could resist that! I got an email just now tellin’ me I was not today’s instant winner. Sniff I am Devastated. Just Devastated. Devestated I say! The pizza was good though.
Close. The usual approach for either a disc replacement or fusion is called “anterior” which means they go in from the front. If they go in from the back, the spinal cord itself is in the way. The stuff that’s in the way from the front is a lot more tolerant of being pushed aside. And surgeons are known for wanting a lot of clear space around where they’re working.
Gotcha gotti. Actually I knew that but I had this mental image of a disc bein’ inserted in your face. I blame it on all the pizza I ate. Ok, maybe it’s just cause I am extremely weird. Seriously though, hope everything goes well and that this works for ya. Appropriate/inappropriate appendages shall be crossed.
Oh no, Crocs are so over. I even deny owning them and I did NOT own lil’ skull charms.
They’re orange. And in a storage box now. I only wore them for walking the dog.
My vampire ways are beginning to bother me. Did you know it’s three p.m.? I was gone for nearly a day! I missed out on surgery preps and hugs and teasing Swampy. Should I go to bed before seven in the morning? I could kill the insomnia with meds, but I hates them…
I call mine my clown shoes because they’re bright blue and look a little more funky than usual because they’re the model made for professional use (chef or some such).
Good luck, gotti!
My meatballs were a success, mostly. I ended up using .25 ounces of cheese to 1.75 ounces of meat mixture and only a few of them leaked.
I’ve managed to wrap most of my Christmas presents and got something really, really cool for my dad. 
Now I’m watching reruns of Bones and waiting for the meatballs to cool so I can store the rest of them.
Thanks for all the {{}}. I’ll be back to trading innuendo in no time.
Right now I’m all starry-eyed over the new Hobbit trailer. (Thanks for linking this LiLi!) Is it next December yet? More importantly, is the *soundtrack *out yet? The dwarves’ song about the Misty Mountains is hands down the best sung song I’ve heard on any of the LOTR soundtracks, and I’m including Enya in this.
I’m bored. I talked to OYKW a little while ago. He’s bored too. He also said it’s been icky stormy over in the wilds of west Alabammy. However, he got to eat some homemade German chawklit cake. If’n I didn’t lurve him I think I could hate him right now.
Worked,went to the Bistro for Customer appreciating night(Not that kind of appreciating!). Texted with my “just friend”:), too. We might even see each other in meatspace on Saturday.
Good luck on the neck, gotti. (Through the front?:eek:)
Yay! How’s your arm (hand, I can’t remember)?
Well, I just came to the realization that I needed a few small, trinkety last minute gifts so I decided to whip up a few key chains. Only, I decided that they’d look faaabulous if I ran them through the tumbler. So, I’ll be sitting here for the next 1 1/2 hours or so waiting for them to tumble. :dubious:
Oh well, I’ll find something to do.
I got crabs in my pants! Well, it’s just a tiny lobster cat toy, but how on earth did it find itself up on the bed and then into my pants? Both cats are dead asleep and unavailable for questioning.
Nine hours and counting… Valium is engaging and brain is disengaging.
I just woke up from a nap and it seems I’ve been sleepwalking or sleep-eating. Do I dare investigate outside? I sleepwalked to the store once and visited a neighbor on another occasion, so I really want to believe I stayed in-doors this time. This is not a good feeling!
Nothing but soup is out of place and I even put the bowl in the dishwasher. Doors are all locked. I don’t seem to have bought anything on-line. Maybe it’s okay.
the hands better, the prednisone has the swelling down, and it only hurts sometimes. Have a beer, that helps me staring at things for hours on end.
