Missing In Action

Wow!  It's been a long time!!!  About a week and a half ago, I had a toothache.  Turns out, I needed a root canal.  My tooth was so abscessed  that they couldn't do the procedure, and they sent me home with some antibiotics and pain killers.  To make a long story short, in a week's span, I had a tremendous toothache, a horrible stomach virus, and lymph nodes so swollen that I felt paralyzed from the neck down.  I missed 3 days of work (in a row)...which I NEVER do, and I felt like I wasn't going to make it!

All of that aside, I am much better now.  I told Geno that if I ever felt good again, I was going to make the most out of every day and be the happiest person alive.  So far, so true!!!

Like I've said a million times, I think it is so important to celebrate the small things of life, and make everyday a special occasion.

Some Random Thoughts for Thursday (peppered with puppy pics)!

1.  I am addicted to Rice Krispie Treats...homemade ones, packaged ones, plain ones, chocolate ones, and those that I slather with peanut butter for an after school snack.  I have at least one a day; sometimes more!

2. Music!  One of my favorite artists came out with a new CD on January 29th.  It's called Get Up!, and it is fabulous.  Even though Ben is a California skate boarding type of guy, he can play that MS Blues with the best of them!

3.  Cheap Mexican Food!  Mexican restaurants are a dime a dozen in Chattanooga.  Even though the food at all of them is mostly the same, everyone has their favorite.  Ours is Amigos!  It's the type of place where they have about 50 different "plates."  I always choose #1, and I'm never disappointed:  1 beef soft taco, 2 cheese enchiladas, and Mexican rice.  It never gets old!

4.  Iphone Photos!  I love being able to take a picture no matter where I am.  There are so many great editing apps that make taking and sharing pictures fun!  My favorites are "Over" and "Picfx."  

5.  Pain Free Running!  It seems like more often than not, I have some sort of nagging pain...over the past few days though, I have felt great.  Yesterday's run was fabulous.  It was about 60 degrees, the sun was out, the birds were chirping...you know what I mean!  All of the elements just came together!  I love it when that happens!!!

6. Football!  Yesterday, our favorite team the Ole Miss Rebels scored BIG on recruits!  We are so happy and excited about 2013 football!  Now that signing day is over, there is nothing to do but wait until September...gonna be a long wait!!!

Hotty Toddy and Happy Thursday!
