Some sort of bag.....and what was even more funny or surprising, was the fact that it has MY name on it. No other name, but mine! No other clip art that was on this page and any names on it. So, could be some sort of a sign??? I wasn't particularly have a good morning, so maybe this means I'm going to have a better afternoon. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Funny.....
We have a website at work that we use to search for clip art. I was doing a search for "White Sale" for an ad I'm working on. As I'm searching through all the clip art (200+), looking for some kind of frame or header to use in this ad, I come across this......

Jell-O, Jell-O and more Jell-O
Because of my wisdom teeth being pulled,
this is what I'm forced to eat for the next week, maybe longer.
this is what I'm forced to eat for the next week, maybe longer.
Tonight I tried to eat spaghetti (sauce and macaroni noodles)...I didn't get too far because I was again afraid to chew and it just plain hurt. So......looks like I'm sticking to Jell-O, Pudding, Mashed Potatoes and drinkable soups. Unless you absolutely have to have your wisdom teeth pulled, I strongly encourage this statement -- "If it aint broke, don't fix it". This has been a non-enjoyable experience, it started off good, but has gone down hill. I only worked until 2:30 today, after a bad episode this morning of almost passing out. I think after 4 days of not doing anything and no appetite caught up with me when I actually had to roll out of bed at 7 a.m. I'm rinsing my mouth out with warm salt water 4 times a day. I'm not hungry for the things that I can eat and dream about the things I CAN'T eat. (Oh.....Fried Chicken.....Tacos......Pizza.....STEAK!!)The only good thing to come of this is that I get to eat ice cream more often than I should, it's the only thing that makes my mouth feel good.

Toothless.......
Yesterday I had all four of my wisdom teeth pulled. I was very nervous going into this whole thing, this was the first time I've had any kind of surgery done -- never had an IV, never been put under.
I got into this room where they were going to be pulling my teeth, they covered me with a long blanket, strapped me to the chair, hooked me up to heart monitors, a blood pressure cuff, put a mask over my nose with some oxygen and then the lady comes into put in my IV. I think I was more nervous about that, I don't particularly like needles. IV went it well, thank god, and then the drugs started flowing. As she's putting all these tools on top of me, she kept asking me questions -- When I was going to Taiwan, for how long, why I was going, asked me where I worked and what I did, kept asking if I was starting to relax, I said not yet, then she assured me I would and that I'm getting some good stuff. Then the room started spinning and I said "Okay, now I'm starting to feel relaxed" And the next thing I knew I was waking up.
That I think was more scary than anything, and I'm not sure why, maybe because it was all over and now the real pain is going to start. I kept hearing the dentist and the nurses talking, the one nurse kept telling me to open my eyes....I was trying, but it was so bright and I was tired, and I was having a hard time taking breaths and shivering constantly. Then my mom came in the room and then the tears began to flow, again, not sure why. Not feeling any pain and not being able to feel my lower half of my face was pretty weird. Someone could have sucker punched me and I wouldn't have even known it!!
Around 6:30 I was able to talk normally and feeling pretty good. I hadn't eaten anything all day, it took me about 2 hours to get down a small malt. I'm still afraid to chew anything, even soft stuff. Even today I'm a little afraid to eat anything. My jaw is really sore and tight, but other than that I'm not in that much pain. I'm planning to just veg on the couch and watch movies.
These are some flowers that I received from Nick and his parents. And I couldn't resist playing with them in Photoshop. Flowers always make you feel better!

Three Haases + A Lemondrop Shot = Way too much fun!
The first weekend in January, Nick's cousin Becky came to visit from Wheaton, Illinois. She came to see Nick's other cousin Cindy, who is getting married in June and wanted to help with "wedding stuff". We don't often get to see Becky, so we drove down to Omaha to meet up with them for the day. We ran around Omaha getting measured for a tuxedo (Nick is a groomsman) and I had been upgraded from a personal attendant to a bridesmaid, so I went to check out the dresses. After all that running around we stopped by this bar/grille and ate some lunch and had a couple drinks. It was a good time and when you get these 3 together there is non-stop laughter!!

Update
There has been a lot of things happening and I figured I should get everyone up to date. Marisa is still loving living and working in Taiwan. My parents and I are planning to go visit her March 18-23. We are so excited and I think Marisa is even more excited that we are coming. She sounds like she is doing well and she calls home all the time.
My dad started a new job beginning of the new year. He is now working at Northeast Community College in Norfolk as the Associate Dean of the Applied Technologies Department. He now has a desk job!!! I think this job will be really good for him and he so far has been liking it. Although he said that the drive is kind of hurting. He still is working at the shop some evenings to work on paper work and such. Mom had her yearly body scan and check up for her Thyroid came back clear. So that is a good sign!!
Nick's family is all doing well. The kiddos keep growing up and get to be more cute every time we see them. Augie is now 5 and quite the little man. Abby is 2 and talking more and more, she's quite the chatter-box. And Kierah is 18 months and starting to talk.
Nick and I are great!! Still working hard. I keep telling myself I need to start looking for a new job and I always end up staying at the Wayne Herald. We've many times found ourselves contemplating the idea of moving, but then we think that we'll have to start over and we've got it pretty good here in Wayne. But sometimes a change would be nice! I guess we'll have to see........
