Music Monday

Today's music comes from the Canadian duo, One More Girl. These future country super stars, Britt and Carly McKillip, are rockin' out to  their single "Maybe" which I highly recommend. I mean why else would I play it on my blog right? Well go ahead, give them a listen. According to their website, they will have a CD release sometime later this month.

Bathroom Shelf Project

My mom brought home this shelf for my bathroom, I just needed to fix it up a bit. Of course I had some help from the nephews with this project.

P.S. That's Buttercup (named after The Hunger Games) He is mean as a snake and hisses like one too.

This is a welcome addition to my bathroom. I had no place to put my towels. Until now they've been on the back of the toilet. Plus I like anything pink.

Chalkboard Project

I found this old whiteboard behind a dresser in my hallway so I decided to change it into a chalkboard to hang in my bathroom.

The writing says, "One must suffer to be beautiful." Perfect quote for the bathroom I think.

Patio Table Project

I found this cute patio table at Kroger for only $99! 

 

Of course Red is not my color so I had to spruce it up with a lovely shade of pink!

Right now its sitting in my hallway. It makes me wish I was sitting at a bistro table in Paris underneath the Eiffel Tower. Not too bad for my first project. I have a few more on the way so stay tuned.

Memorial Day Canoeing 2012

Bailey (Meagan's Cousin), Meagan,Dani, Sam, Me

This Memorial Day the Buffalo Wild Wings Crew tool to the water again. This time we chose the Buffalo River in Pulaski, Tenn. (Get it, we work at Buffalo Wild Wings and were on the Buffalo River!) 

Anyway, we started out much sloppy but in no time Sam and I had our canoe under control. We had this!

Three boys and five girls, at least we out numbered the boys this year. 

Don't you love our hats! Shout out to Samuel Adams!

Larry, Tim, Dani, & Jarod

Just chillin' on the water!

This is Henry. His owner's last name is Winkler, so that makes his name Henry Winkler! AYE!!!!!!

Last year we saw a duck on the Duck River this time we saw a cow. Hey, it resembles a Buffalo.

What an amazing trip. We are going to try and go again on July 4th. Hopefully on the Duck, the Buffalo was way too shallow and people kept tipping their canoes, thankfully we didn't tip ours, not to mention the Buffalo is over an hour away from me. Until next time.

Tonsillectomy Recovery Day 9

I feel as though the worst of the pain is behind me. I'm still taking my pain medicine regularly. And although the pain is decreasing, I am still having a hard time swallowing and the heartburn is not helping my throat much. I hate riding in cars because it makes me sick and I've only left my house twice. I've gone through cases of cold sweats and keep getting dizzy in the shower. After reading stories online I think my experience is nothing compared to some people out there. I would rate my pain no higher than a 6 and I've had cases of strep that was an 11 sometimes. Of course the medicine is keeping me asleep for about 18 hours a day. Unfortunately it's at the wrong time. I sleep all day and am awake for most of the night and even though I take the medicine at night its like it wants me to stay awake and get heartburn and crave foods I still don't have the throat to eat yet. It does seem as though I have most of my strength at night instead of during the day. I am out of jello and soup and don't feel like cooking this late at night when my mom is sleeping and waking her up. I REALLY WANT A DIET DR. PEPPER TOO!! I haven't had one since the Monday before the surgery. I always though that was what gave my heartburn, guess not.

On the plus side, I have cleaned out over 40+ hours on my DVR. I've caught up on Pan Am, Grimm, Eureka, Unforgettable, and a few other random shows and movies that I had taped. I will be starting Once Upon a Time tomorrow.

There are times when I think I am ready to go back to work but then I get to thinking do I really want to? and of course the answer is no! I wish I didn't have to work anymore. I need to be someone's trophy wife! Any takers? I am out of money though and am still trying to decide if I want to pick up a Sunday morning possibly night shift too. I won't be able to take my medicine though. So I guess I won't be working!! :-)
