Mail-time...oh yea

Ohhhh how I love checking the mail, and even more when I get stuff. It actually makes me want to shop online more because it puts the excitement into getting something new that much more. Today was especially exciting :) I got my Ulta order (looovvveee them).

I ordered a new straightener and some other stuff spending $150..

..then had a coupon for $10 off so it was down to $140 and then I had and email offer for a bag of samples (the best way to try products) and also because I spent a certain amount I got to choose 3 other samples.

Shew, like I said I love Ulta. What an awesome deal!

So for supper last night I tried a new recipe and it was a success!! QuesadillaCasserole, yum :)

-Lovvee you :)

Tough couple of days :(

So apparently my body is super sensitive to medicine. I started taking Codeine/Tylenol the day of my surgery and took it every four hours as needed for pain, well I realized around Friday afternoon that I had skipped a couple of doses and just really didn't need it anymore. I just stopped taking it and that is when the anxiety broke loose. At first I didn't know what to think of it, it wasn't too bad and I didn't even relate it to the meds and then on Saturday I could barely get out of bed because I had the worst, I mean WORST anxious feeling. It is really hard to explain, but none the less I went to the ER on Sunday to see what was up because it was so unbearable and well I was having withdrawals from my medicine :O Whaaaa?! Excuse me doc, like a drug addict? Oh yea, I was and it is the worst most possible feeling ever!! They told me I was just goign to have to wait it out. So I have been doing so and so far it seems to be getting less and less each day, thankfully!! SO any who, I am sorry I was gone for a couple, I just really was having a hard time with getting off the meds, but my pain in my throat is better and better each day, just a tolerable pain. SO yippy :)
-Peace ; )

Awesome day..

WOW :) Feeling much better!! I have not returned completely back to normal yet, but it is so much better than it was two days ago. I had my first real meal in over a week today, so overall I would say, success!

Sooo..the hubs is off on a "wounded warrior" only trip this weekend in NY city for an event soldier ride and I am spending this weekend with my good friend and fellow wounded warrior wife, Kristin. Today we went shopping and I got some pretty awesome stuff I would. Along with some things I got there are two I am so excited about!! I got the Sally Hansen Nail Effects to try and I LOVE them!!

I think they turned out great and it wasn't that hard at all. 

I also got the "Wreck This Journal" from Urban Outfitters, and I can't wait to wreck it :) 

So overall today was pretty good! I miss Booba (my hubby) but I am so proud, he did 25 miles on the bike today which is huge for him and his type of energy, although he said he fell a couple times :( 
I am still very proud of him!!
-Catch ya later ; )

Best dip ever!!

So today has been a bit of a turn-around! I started off feeling just as bad as I have been but as the day went on I have started to feel a little bit better :) Super happy about that, and so was my husband. He has been a ball of energy since I told him I was feeling a little be he even talked me into making his favorite dip. Which I did:

 Use the whole block of Velveeta.

 Cut into cubes.

Brown 1lb of sausage.

 Use one jar of your fav salsa or you can even us ro-tel (spelling?)

 Throw it all together in the crock pot on high, put the lid on it stirring occasionally until all melted..

 Wah-lah! Yummmmmy cheesy dip in 30 minutes or less..

I will say, although the pain is still lingering, it is so much better than before. Lets just hope waking up tomorrow I will feel even better than I felt today.
-Night Night

Oh the misery..

So the whining continues yet again today. Oh geeze this whole tonsil removal experience is awful!! I have been stuck in the bedroom all day with no willingness to even come out. I am (just like yesterday) HUNGRY but yet anything I even attempt to swallow is rejected by the throbbing pain in my throat, jaw, and ears.. Sorry :( to be so wah wah but I am just ready to be past the pain. Seriously..like now!!

 

Soooo hungry!! Oh man I am going to eat everything in my path when this is over :) 

-Hugs

To eat normal again..

Oh man to be able to eat a real meal.
I would settle for the simplest thing to eat right now i am so hungry.
Instead i have been on a regular diet of :

The warnings of pain from a tonsilectomy never scared me, I always thought "I am tough, I will tough it out". Oh how I was wrong. Tomorrow will be day five and it is like the pain only gets worse. I am ready for some sense of normalcy again!! But hey I am figuring the obvious upside to this could be some weight loss?!
-Happy Eating ;)

Scooby Doo..Really?

So being stuck on the couch for the past 3 days has given me way too much time to watch TV. I am not sure I have ever watched as much TV or slept as much in my life. I went to the ER this morning to get some more medicine for pain thinking, oh this will be a relatively quick trip. But as I am sure other military related people know, in the military it is always hurry up and wait, so I did. So as I sat I realize that all sorts of people come to the ER for crazy reasons. Like one lady that had cut her finger, but even said she just needed a band-aid. A band-aid, really?! You came to the ER for a band-aid. Oh geeze..lol This only being my second post I can see how I am probably really going to enjoy this :) Well with the lack of food I have in my system, the meds hit me pretty quick so I think I feel a nap coming on. Until after while ;) (wow meds have truly taken my system over!!)
-Later Gators

Into the unknown...

So this is the world of blogging :) Ahhh real refreshing. I have decided to finally create mine. I love to look at other peoples and I always say I am going to make one. Today I have accomplished that goal. I probably would have never created one without seeing Jerrica's :) and not to mention I had a tonsillectomy on Thursday and now I have been confined to the apartment. Joy me. With all that said it's time to let you know a little bit more about me. I am married going on three years here soon to the man of my dreams. You could say "highschool sweethearts", although we didn't actually go to school together, we have been together since November 2005. He joined the military in 2008 and we were married later that year! This is him also to be probably be referred to as booba, babe, or his name occasionally Joshua ;)

So anywho.. He is the love of my life and without him I would be lost!! We have had our times but they TRULY have made us stronger. August 4th of last year he was injured in Iraq by an IED. In result he lost his left leg and his right leg is severely damaged to the point that he cannot feel below the knee. He has a hard time walking but has came so far since then. I have his progress all in videos (here) We are currently stuck in good ol Washington, DC and for a small town girl, it is a HUGE change. The whole rehab and getting him better plus getting out of the military process is so tough and it really takes a toll on us, so you will probably hear a lot about it. I am sure as the days go on my blogs will detail more into and about my life but for now I will keep it relatively short (eek..kind of long..oops) 

-Goodnight :)
