swet sour

 Well, another weekend down: Finally ended an epic game of phone tag with 1 of my 2 'opponents'. The boyfriend is still in the middle of nowhere and with such spottie cell/internet service I haven't really talked to him in a week. (Which kind of makes Birthday Week Vaca planning a little difficult...)

I did manage to get the house clean, rearrange the dining room (don't look so shocked), filed my taxes (BANK!!!, and even got to play with Robbie -- my camera, I named it that after my last one was stolen 2 years ago --

Happy weekend every body, I'm going to start planning my gym attack plan for tomorrow! 5:30 spin class comes very early!

he's a willing test subject

Hoping everyone out there in cyber land had a great holiday season. 

Christmas came and went, and I enjoyed every second of the down time with my family.

Lex and I packed up Friday after a 1/2 day at work then went and stayed at my parents for 3 nights. It was great. Got to see Ally on multiple occasions (and she got to meet Davis!). 

  Don't judge, I know we're no pro bakery, but still ... decorating sugar cookies are a tradition in my family. Just about one of the only one's I remember doing every year. The other, the Hershey kiss reindeer. The Hershey kiss reindeer is a little cloth reindeer who's mouth pops open and my mom hides kiss inside it. Growing up, who ever woke up first would get to eat the kiss. We've done this for as many years as I can remember, and this year, all 3 kids got their own Hershey kiss reindeer. AWESOME. Picture to come soon. Swear. 

After a day of rest, a day of celebrating, then came the day FINALLY getting the living room in order. And, as promised, here are the newest pictures.

Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah from me & Sir Lexicon ... he's worn out from all the chaos!

sx: hip, the 24 hr aftermath

24 hrs after waking up, this is what my hip looks like. Not too terrible. The betadine refused to come off -- although I did give up pretty quickly after soap and hydrogen peroxide didn't work.Today was pretty smooth for the most part. Was up most of the morning, from 5am or so till about 2. Then I passed out all afternoon for some much needed rest. Got dressed and went out to dinner with 2 friends while one's mom was in town visiting. It was super nice to get out of the house, not that Lexicon hasn't been great company and all. "Nurse Lexicon" has been running amuck all over my bed to get me to play with him. He's only pounced on my leg like 6 times, but he means well ((as seen by him using his abnormally large body mass to hold one of my ice packs in place)). 

I'm getting around the house really well on just 1 crutch, but I still need both when I'm out in public -- mainly to get up and down the scary steep steps to my condo, but also because I get tired quickly on just the one. Well, really on both, as I learned quickly yesterday during the shopping adventure. 

(still pretty excited about my LOFT sale buys!!)
