I Like Peanut M&M's

but I hate eating them all together. Does that make sense?

I have to separate the chocolate from the peanut, eat the chocolate, then eat the peanut.

I do not like regular m&m's.

Riddle me that.

I think it's about time I had some peanut m&m's :)

Ugh....

Whoever thought it would be a good idea to work in between Christmas and New Year's needs to be stabbed in the eye, and clearly has too much authority to work these days.

* I think I have threatened to stab a dozen people in the eye since 8am yesterday morning * I will continue to do so until 4:30 tomorrow afternoon.

I need another break. Normally after a holiday or vacation I feel refreshed. Not this time.

Biggest gong show EVER. E.V.E.R. No joke.

I realize my next 'vacation' will come after my surgery, but I would WAYY rather be drunk off pain meds than dealing with the issues I've been dealing with for the last 36 hours.

Yesterday, I felt better after a nice long workout last night. Maybe tonight I'll feel better after a nice long workout. Then I'm off to a little pre' new years party PARTY!

I'm so happy to have all my Calgary friends home for the holidays. Now I can play with them.

Okay, so maybe I'm a little happier after admitting that I openly threatened to stab people in their eye.

2010 Recap...

2010 has been an interesting year. It started off amazingly with a surprise 24th Birthday Party hosted by my darling friend Amanda. I don't know how they're going to be able to top that for my big 2-5 ;) ha

The rest of my winter/spring was spent on random(really random) roadtrips to Utah, and Idaho to play with my friends. I started playing on a womans basketball team thru CSSC and had a blast!

Summer was spent working my tail off, floating down the bow river and playing co-ed football(we all know how well that turned out), staying out til all hours of the night knowing full well I needed to be up at 6am the next morning. Bonfires, hiking, and camping trips, stampeding it up with my friends, watching the Chucks, and going to the gradnstand show, diving and swimming(I did all that in July) cause August brought nothing but painkillers and crutches, however I was able to go to cornfest(please see my facebook album-people of cornfest) ha ha.

Fall was spent getting back into the groove of daily activities, and trying to get around on one leg, partying it up with all of my girlfriends. I went to Chuck E Cheese for the first time for my good friend Laylas 25th bday party..her party of adults was next to a party of 5 and 6 year old children, but that didn't stop us from fighting those little terrors off the skiballs. ha.

My winter has been spent mostly working, and working out. Going to wings with my friends, and having wicked fun dance parties and hanging out with my family. I got to say goodbye to my best friend who is serving a mission in Texas.


My winter/fall/summer has not included- spinning, diving, outdoor ice skating, or sledding. However I'm not sad about it anymore. Next year I'm going to get to do ALL of those things. YAY!

Remember that one time this time last year that I was planning a super sweet 25th bday trip. Well since 3 weeks after my birthday I'll be having knee surgery I've decided to hold off on that, and wait until after I'm all better. Then somewhere warm, with beaches and swimming will be welcoming me for a week long dive trip. :)


Now that I've gone over the good points AND the bad points in 2010 it doesn't really seem that bad. I guess I need to be grateful for the bad, to recognize the good.

*Point taken* I learned my lesson. Now no more broken bones/injuries EVER again please

11 for 2011:

My 3011 is already off to a pretty good start.


My 2011 Goals are:

1.No Fast food

2.Fill my gas tank up when it's half full.

3.Go to the gym 4-6x a week for 60 minutes

4.Make my bed every morning

5.Grow my hair out

6.Eat a clean diet 6 days a week

7.Attend the Temple Monthly

8.Save $200-400 a month for a trip to South America to volunteer for a month

9.Hang out with my Family more often

10.SIGN UP for an Institute class.

11.Get rid of useless clutter.

Theses are pretty easy. Remember I like to keep my expectations low. Not because I don't think I can do it, but so I can remember them. (I have a horrible memory.)

#2 seems really lame, however I can count on the hands and feet of my whole family the amount of times in high school(and maybe in college...and maybe in real life right now) I've run out of gas and needed AMA to come bring me gas. No joke. This one time in high school I was driving to the school to meet my team for an away game. I was 2 blocks from the school and my car ran out of gas. I parked the sucker where it was, grabbed my jersey bag and RAN. Called my dad and went off to Lethbridge or wherever to play. My parents every year buy me AMA for my birthday. It pays for it's self within the first few months(oops)

#3 has a little stipulation. 4-6x a week up to my surgery and then starting up again as soon as my Surgeon gives me the okay.I'm going about 3x a week right now.

#10 needs a little explaining. I never actually enroll in institute classes, because then I'd actually have to go and be accountable. I like to just stroll in and out whenever I want too(only problem is, I never EVER stroll in) However, IF I sign up, I'll make an actual effort to go. So, this is me making my effort to go. Let's see how I do.

Dear 5 guys:

I am so glad I got the chance to have you when I did. Which was today. It was the best burger I've ever eaten. It's also going to be the last fast food burger I eat for a whole year. The fries are delicious, the diet coke really hit the spot. Thank you for opening a place in Lethbridge.

Sincerely,

Lachele Daisy Louise Wickens

This morning my mom and I went to Lethbridge to return some stuff that I had gotten for Christmas, and to get me some new running shoes. Ha. Doe's anyone else find that as funny as I do? I bought brand new runners when I haven't ran in 6 months. I needed new gym shoes so bad. Where the mesh and rubber meets on my shoes there are HUGE holes. I got new ones for 60% off. How could I not get shoes when the price was just that good? I think that's my reasoning for buying half the things I do. I normally get sweet deals, so I just convince myself that I just need to buy it. But rest assured I really did need new shoes. I probably didn't need any of the other things I bought. However. I wanted it. So I bought it.

My dad was in Lethbridge doing some running around as well, so we called him to see if he wanted to meet up with us for lunch. We decided to go to 5 guys. Now they just opened in Canada, and there is one in Calgary where I live and all my friends have eaten there, but I just never have. Let me tell you, it was sooooo good! My burger was delish.

One of my new years resolutions is to not eat fast food for all of 2011. I'm secretly trying to figure out a way to NOT consider 5 guys fast food cause technically I had to sit and wait for it, just so I can eat it when I go home. However, that's not really the way it works. It was by far the BEST thing I could have eaten as my 'last meal'. I think I'm already excited for 2012 just so I can have another burger. mmm so good!

I had absolutely no intention of cheating in 2011, cause I just don't really like most greasy fast food, however after 12:47 today my mind has changed and I'm having an internal debate as to whether I want to tell people that's my resolution so if I cheat no one will know, or if I'm actually going to try to avoid it.

This just might be the biggest test of Self Mastery I've ever faced.

Let's see if I win or lose.

Crazy old Ladies, Little kids.

Yesterday I went to my parents family ward. The ward I grew up in. It's always so funny whenever I go home. You never know who's going to corner you in the womens bathroom and grill you on your life.

Yesterday was no exception. Except for the cornering in the bathroom part.

The Sunday after Christmas when tons of 'kids' are home from school/holidays they do this thing where they call on them to bear their testimonies and give a little yearly update. Every year I think they're going to pick on the other kids, and every year I get called upon. It's almost easier to stand over the pulpit and say -I'm still single, I got hit playing football and I'm awaiting surgery, that's why I'm sporting a sexy black knee brace under my dress, and I'm still working at the Hospital. However, I got grilled by a few people for specifics on 'how many boys did you date this last year, did the person who hit you say sorry after football, and do you still like your job'

This old lady who was old when I was in highschool(so she's realllly old) took one look at my left ring finger and said 'Maybe next year sweetie' HA. I'm pretty sure she said the exact same thing last year. Oh well.

Last night my good friend Kathryns little brother Darren had is going away party. He had his farewell eariler and had some friends over for dinner and games. I've always been pretty close with their family so I went over to see him. He's going to Mexico and reports to the MTC Jan 5th. I got to catch up with Kathryn and her parents, and as the kids from Darrens party were leaving I was looking at all of them and I knew I recognized some of them as my friends little sibbligs, but alot of kids I didn't know. So I'd constantly ask 'who is that?' Yah. Most of them were the little 8-9 year olds that were in primary when I was graduating highschool. Now they're graduating highschool.I use to babysit alot of them.

The volleyball girls I coached my first year of coaching were in grade 8 at the time graduated this year. That made me feel old.

Moral of the Story. I love coming home, cause old ladies are FUNNY. Those little kids need to stay little so I don't start feeling like I should have wrinkles in tight places and I hate So.Ab winds.

So.Ab, Chinese Food, Kleneex and Clothes

I forgot my camera at Sarens after her baby shower. I have no pictures from Christmas this year.

I got to Taber on Christmas Eve just in time for the traditional Chinese food Christmas Eve Dinner. So good. Came home and chilled with the family and watched Christmas movie after Christmas movie.

One of my goals in life is to own all Christmas Movies ever made. From those old school claymation movies of Rudolph to all the Christmasy chickflicks..

We woke up Christmas morning, had some breakfast, and then opened presents. I got spoiled. As usual. I got everything I asked for and more. I shouldn't have packed so many clothes because I haven't worn ONE thing I packed. I got so many new things.

I've been sick with a head cold for the last week, and I was hoping that come Christmas night my senses would come back and I'd be able to enjoy my mom's cooking. Unfortunately that was not the case. I've gone thru a few boxes of kleenex since I've been here.

I've loved being home. It's gone by way too fast. I'm excited to come home again in 8 weeks. I'll be here for a month after my surgery to recover. I'll probably end up doing the exact same thing I've done for the last 3 days. Eat, Sleep and that's really all I've done since I got here. ha. I love vacations!

xoxo

Exausted.

Can it be tomorrow at 1pm already? That's when I get to go home. Hello roadtrip tunes and ice cold diet coke. I swear that's the only way I'll be able to make it the 3 hour drive to my parents house without dying.

I was so exausted I went to bed at 7:30 last night. I slept straight thru until 6:30 this morning.

I'm achy, I'm sore. My hair even hurts. I look like someone ran over me with a truck.No a sight to behold.

It's been such a busy week. Work/personal-social life busy.

I've been trying to tie up loose ends at work. I want to leave tomorrow with no paper work on my desk. Unfortunately, when I get one thing cleaned off, two more have appeared. Curse you. I was talking to someone today. I closed my eyes and they started watering. I looked like I was crying. Ha. I forgot to put make up on this morning. I went to bed with wet hair last night. I'm a mess. Just picture it. But don't picture it too much. It's not pretty!

Speaking of wet hair. Last night I fell asleep standing up in the shower. I woke up cause the water turned cold. Do you know how grumpy one can get having to quickly rush to wash your hair/body in cold water? Note to self: tonight. Wash hair/body then fall asleep in the shower.

I highly doubt I'm going to leave my parents house at all over the next 4 days. Maybe, just maybe I'll go to church. But if I don't- Don't judge me.. mmkay. I need to sleep.

Dear Mail,

I would like a letter from my best friend before I go home for Christmas. I think it's the only thing that will make me ungrumpy. Scratch that. Being able to breath while having my mouth closed will make me happy. However, a letter from Provo Utah will surely make this sick little lady happy just in time for Christmas.


Love: Lachele

We Wish You a Merry Christmas....

One thing I love about Christmas is all the fun things I get to do. Things that normally I would do, but since it's in 'season' I don't get weird looks for.

Like singing. alot.
smiling at people.
singing. tons.
buying presents(one for me, one for mom, one for me, one for dad.) ha you get the drift.

Anyways. Last night we went caroling. I've always gone caroling. However last night was the most interesting caroling experience I've ever had. First off I was the only girl in my group. The rest of them bailed into the other two groups. I had one guy who wouldn't get his hand off my leg while we were driving. Speaking of driving the vehicle we were being transported in needed to be started with a screw driver. I really should have just ended my night right there. However, if I hadn't I never would have experienced the next 3 events.

House 1.

We start singing Deck the halls. Or half of us did. The other half were singing jingle bells. The lady opened the door half way thru the song, and pleasantly stood with her front door open trying to heat up all of southwest Calgary. We ended with we Wish you a Merry Christmas. She thanked us, said it was a lovely surprised then asked "am I the first house you kids stopped at?" we replied "yes" and she goes "Yah, I can tell you're still practicing" hahahahahahahahaha


House 2.

We went to visit some less actives in our ward. We get to this girls house and we can see people in their front room decorating a Christmas tree. As we walk up to the house we can see them dart out of sight from the window and they were standing so tall and trying to be sneaky against a wall that was directly across from the front door. The front door had frosted glass but we could still see the outline of their bodies standing there. We rang the door bell then started singing Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer, and ended with we Wish you a Merry Christmas. As we were finishing up with the last song the neighbours dog started barking. I was laughing so hard I thought I was going to fall over, we were all laughing so hard that we didn't even finish the song. Before we even drove away they were already back to finishing decorating the tree.

House 3.

We knocked on his door, and could see him, then we also saw him hesitate and walk back up the stairs. We rang the doorbell a 2nd time and started singing. He came down the stairs...opened the door and we started singing hark the hearld angels sing. Then he opened the door wider. He stepped out onto the porch and BAM, he was wearing a bathrobe shorter than mine. You know those ones you get from Victoria Secret that are short? Well it was like that, but man style. Chicken legs. It was so awkward. It was -26. I was cold and I was dressed for the occasion. Poor kid. Sorry about that homeboy!

We decided to pack it in, and call it a night. It was such a random night. Normally we sing a few songs, give them a plate of treats, and some sort of Christ centered print out and we're on our merry little way. Last night was not the case. We weren't equipted with treats or messages. I felt kind of lame. I may or may not be trying to redeem myself sometime in the next few days. Perhaps after the Nativity tomorrow night. Who's in?

Merry Christmas Everyone.

Dear Cute Bloggers.

and my cute bloggers I mean people with cute blogs. I need help.

My blog looks like a 5 year old little girl threw up on it.

I want cute font. I want cute header. I want cute everything. Will you help me?
Where do I go? How do I get the cute font, and the super cute templates cause the only ones I can find look like the one that is already on my blog.

I hate it. Sometimes I hate looking at my blog because there's so much pink.

Help

<3

850 bones down the drain!

You heard me.

Wanna know why I just threw away $850.00

It's called Photo Radar. If I ever become the mayor of Calgary that is the first thing I am doing away with.

I speed. I get it from my mama.

Photo Radar is my enemy. I just drive fast. I can't help it. I tried.

Well this year I had to pay 850.00 in tickets before the end of December or else I wouldn't be able to renew my insurance on my jeep by the end of the year.

I think I will try not to speed as much this year. Except would it be bad if I told you that I've had to pay almost double what I paid this year in years past. Yah, that's bad. Whoops.

Do you know what I could do with $850.00? Cause I sure do. It pains me to pay that much money to the city of Calgary.

I would like to make a 2011 resolution to not have to pay anything. Normally I like to go big or go home. I know that I won't be able to do that tho, Why set myself up for complete failure at the beginning of the year? If I can keep 2011 tickets under 650.00 I will consider that a success. Disgusting huh? Please keep in mind I won't be driving for almost a quarter of 2011. It's definately attainable. ha.

P.S-- Mom, don't tell Dad. I don't need another lecture.
Thanks loads!

<3

Funniest Ever!!!

So I just got an email from a friend of mine serving a mission.

He's serving in the Washington DC South Mission. He was my home teacher before he left, and that's how we became friends. We'd BBM(blackberry Messanger) til all hours of the night. We'd talk about our respective boy/girl problems. He was just a good kid.

Anyways so I'm all about the random email subject titles. Well... A few weeks ago I emailed him and the subject line was. I'm pregnant and you're the father.

I thought it was hilarious. He want to show his companion a couple pictures I had emailed him a few weeks prior to that, and when he opened up his email there was another email from ME, with the subject line as posted above. HE DIED. He was so embarassed and his companion was really confused. So he tried to mumble his way thru explaining how I am really random, and how I just say the most inappropriate things and the most awkward times. Whoops. Sorry.


In his email to me he says " Lachele, you know that I love you, and I love hearing from you however, you need to be a little bit more appropriate. Sometimes I don't know why we're friends. You're INSANELY out of control and I'm freakishly incontrol at all times. I guess opposites attract." <---- Direct quote. Ha. That just made my day. The fact that I knew he would get all awkward about that title whether or not his comp saw it or not and I did it anyways, to me is just sooo funny. People always try to make me feel awkward and it doesn't work. I don't get awkward. Well unless you count the time I was talking about something really funny, highly inappropriate at the Stake Presidents house and he walked in. That was bad. He scares me. *Yes, Holly, your dad scares me! However, I promised him I would try to be more appropriate and that I wouldn't put anything inappropriate in the subject line. I may or may not have said I couldn't promise the contents would be completely appropriate tho. Jks. I'm not that bad.

Another funny story about email subject lines. Sometimes Holly, Cora and I will send emails to each other at work. Well Cora is a teacher, who uses a smart board(remember when they used CHALK boards. ya me too.) so she asked me to make sure that I was completely appropriate with my titles because her emails pop up on her smart board and the kids would see whatever the title was. I was slightly upset that she warned me. It would have been funnier if she didn't, and I said something highly uncalled for and all her students saw.

Point in case. I'm extremely inappropriate. It's a curse. I think it's hilarious. What an awesome curse to be blessed with. However, in 2011 I will try to be not so inappropriate, or dirty. <-- I know that will be hard. But I promised I'd try. Key word. Try. If I fail I'm okay with that ;) atleast I tried. I'm really not that hard to please!

<3

24 hours.....

If I can't even go 24 hours without missing this kid...how am I suppose to go 24 months?

This is absolutely the most silliest picture of him I could find. Which is what I wanted. Not many people saw this side of him. He's really quiet until you get to know him.

Those dang Texans better be nice to him.

I said goodbye to him last night. It was hard. Secret time. I cried...scratch that. BAWLED for like 3 hours yesterday. Not 3 hours in a row. But a good 3 hours. I'm insane. I know it.

I didn't know how I was gong to react to him leaving. I didn't think I'd cry that much. But I did. I love him. He's amazing. I may or may not have already written him a letter. a 5 page letter. Okay, it was only two pages. But still. I guess I had alot to say.

He's going to be such a good missionary. He'll leave the MTC for Houston the same day or the day before my knee surgery. Let's hope the next 6 months go by just as fast as the last 6 months. He'll be home before I know it.

I think the thing that I need to get over the most is not going to bed texting him, or waking up to an insanely random text from him. Two years and I'll get to text him again. I promise I won't become a hermit because he's gone. Mainly just to prove to him that I won't. ha.

I'll miss you Elder Sorenson.
Love you!

<3

Grinch!

Okay, so let me preface this by saying I love love love love love my parents.

But sometimes I just want to stab out their eyes. Sorry mom(remember how much I love you?)

So I got a call from my Surgeon today. He said he would most likely be seeing me sometime between mid december-mid jan right? So for the last month I've been expecting surgery within the next 6 weeks. WELL, looks like I'll be waiting a little bit longer. They gave me Feb 18th. Bleh.

I called my parents after I got off the phone with them, I was pretty upset and my mom was happier than a CLAM to hear that it was feb 18th. BLAH. Why? I wanted a Christmas Miracle. Definately not a Christmas Miracle. Lame. So she hands the phone over to my dad. I tell him Feb 18th. He says "Oh that's wonderful hunny" Well dad, no it's not. Because I was expecting to get surgery within 6 weeks. His reponse. "Well it's only 8 weeks away" GRRRRR. I just wanted someone to validate how I felt. I was grumpy that it was Feb.

Then he goes off saying the pro's and con's

Pro's:
- I can build a little more muscle before surgery.
- I can keep starring at the hot guy two treadmills down from me longer(seriously everyday this week he's been two treadmills away, one day I'll say hi)**I added this pro. my dad doesn't know about hott boy.
- I can save more money for while I'm off to (shop) Okay so I added shop. I can do alot of online damage with my laptop and credit card ;) I'll buy myself presents to make me feel better. How can anyone say no to that?
- I won't be laid up for Christmas.
- I won't be laid up for my 25th Birthday.
- I won't be laid up for Valentines day--however that might have been a good excuse not to go on a date with someone. I hate valentines dating with someone I'm not dating.

Con's:
- I have to set my rehabbing back a whole 4 weeks. That might not seem like much. But it is. I probably won't be able to dive all summer(they want me to wait a full 6 months post surgery to resume something like that)
- I can't play football this summer(yes I plan on playing again)
- I have to put my spin instructing off til the end of 2011 instead of fall 2011.


I know the con's are lame, and the pro's are legit. HOWEVER, this leg brace is starting to cramp my style. All my friends are going ice skating tonight at an outdoor rink(my fave thing skating outside) and I have to sit by the fire and watch. Lame. Double Lame. So sad.

I'm planning on a two week vacation for myself sometime after the first 3 months.. any ideas? I'm thinking of going to the Bahamas to see Ashley at ClubMed. I should be able to do some diving there, because they'll load all my gear on the boat and I can dive off the boat so I won't have to walk with the heavy gear. Where else should I look into going?

P.S if anyone wants to send me get well packages complete with treats from the states/canada and coloring books feel free I will send you my address(hoping you don't come kill me) I'll even send you a picture I've colored. Any takers? I also like flowers ;) ha ha

Happy Friday.

Elle?

What comes to your mind when the name Elle is said?

Legally Blonde right?

Right.

Now do I remind anyone of Elle from LB? didn't think so!

In highschool some people use to call me Elle...rather than Lach..or Lachele. You can probably tell that these people didn't really know me that well.Cause it's not even a good nickname

Nicknames from people that I know are okay, nicknames from people I don't know very well are not okay. I think nicknames are a pretty personal thing. There are only a handful that I like/tolerate and I only like/tolerate them cause they're from people I love.

My mom always called me Chele(shell)

I don't really ever remember my dad using my name(unless I was in trouble.)

Kayla called me Shelly Belly. (hated that one ps.)

Kait always calls me Drama Mama(totally true, but I dislike it none the less ;))

Some girls on my basketball team would call me Wick, Wicky, Wicks, Latch-elle(said in two syllables. So annoying)

This guy named Aaron use to call me PL(Princess Lachele) only because I refused to answer him when he called me anything else.

Ryan use to call me Lady-anyone who calls me lady now automatically makes me think of him. Bleh.

One title/nickname I hate being referred to is 'Sister Wickens' It makes me feel so old. Gross. Maybe if I went on a mission it'd be different. But I didn't, so it doesn't.

Point of this post. One of th Dr's I work with always ALWAYS calls me Elle. I think it's because he can't pronounce my name and doesn't want to ask. He use to mumble fdgfd-elle. Now he just calls me Elle. One day I want just say LA CHELE. LA SHELLE. feel free to practice it. ha. I have a pretty good relationship with him so I wouldn't feel awkward asking him to say my name properly. However, it's been almost 3 years since I started working here and I haven't corrected him yet.

If you know me, and you know of a nickname I've forgotten feel free to leave me a comment, and how you know I have that nickname. I have a few more that I just choose not to share ha. They're embarassing. Also, what are some of your nicknames. I'm curious!

Happy Friday

<3

Secrets Out.

Okay, well it's not really a secret...but people around here are starting to find out I have a blog.

I don't really tell too many people.. for a few reasons. 1. I talk about a lot of personal things on here, that I don't mind COMPLETE strangers knowing about me, but have a hard time with acquaintances knowing. 2. I tell a lot of really funny, yet very unfortunate stories about people that they probably wouldn't find as humorous as I do. 3. When I do tell people I blog I always get the same response "what, you blog? WHY?"

A friend of mine last week told me that she was reading my blog, killing herself laughing because when she was reading my blog she could hear my voice commentating everything she was reading. She says I blog like I talk. I was exactly sure how to take it, since a lot of times my posts don't make sense, there's tons of spelling errors and punctuation. So for those of you who don't know me. Apparently I blog like I talk. So now you know how I talk. If you'd REALLY like to hear my super sultry voice just give me your number and I'll leave you a spicy little message ;) haha!

One more thing. I always go back and read my posts after I've posted them. Not to check for spelling errors, or grammar mistakes, but to make sure I think it's funny. A lot of times I give my own stamp of approval. I think I'm funny, I find the stupid things I post about very entertaining...and I'm pretty sure most of you do too, cause you read it. I think that means I'm slightly narcissistic.

Okay, so one more thing. It's the prettiest little blonde haired blue eyed girls birthday today. Happy 6th Birthday to my beautiful amazing little niece. She is so stinkin cute. I took her for a birthday surprise last week. I kidnapped her from her mother and we went to build a bear. She was SO excited to be in there. We made the cutest little rabbit named Rosie. Ahh I just love her so much. I called her today to wish her a happy birthday and she's sick. She was so cute tho, her voice would crack and she sounded like a little old man. She kept getting mad at me cause I'd laugh when her voice would crack. I can't believe she is getting SO big. Pretty soon she's not going to think her Aunt Lachele is too fun. Dang it. I sure hope that day never comes. Everyone at the mall thought she was my kid. She must take after me, cause she's dang cute ;)

<3

Now they're taking a kidney!

Remember how a few weeks a go I blogged about how I had a dream that while I was having knee surgery I asked for a boob job too...

Well apparently they're taking a kidney now too.

Last night I had a dream that they're just going to cut out one of my kidneys. I woke up this morning FREAKING out. ha. This just needs to be over like right now. When I was getting ready this morning my back hurt. Right in my kidney region. It felt like I'd been punch in the back. So today I google ACL surgeries to make sure that in no uncertained terms anyone has ever lost a kidney while getting a ACL reconstructed.

They haven't. I'm good to go. Only a few more weeks. Hopefully. Cross your fingers. There's going to be so many more blog posts from me for that first month.

My 3 favorite F-words happened this weekend.

Food-lots of delish food. What a way to start off the Holiday seasons.

Friends-Lots of those too. Some that I just haven't seen around in a long time.

Fun- FUN. I had so much fun this weekend.

I feel like maybe my life is starting to go back to normal. I'm not saying that too loud tho, I don't want the universe knowing things are going well for me. *despite* a few minor hiccups. Okay, maybe a little more than a few minors.

One thing I was hoping to get a taste of this weekend was some humble pie. I could really use a little bit of that before it's too late. *too late being this time next week* oyi.

Call me Crazy.....

I love listening to church music after the gym.

It really calms me down.

Back in highschool when I played basketball,I'm very competitive, and with competitivness mixed with me = a very unhappy girl when we'd lose so I'd sit in the locker room listening to Cummorahs Hill, Remember the Promise, and We Believe. All EFY Musics.

It would make me less pissed.

I love listening to it while I cool down after working out. Especially right now. I feel so great after I work out, but I get so frusterated that I can't HIIT anymore, I can't spin. So this helps me focus.
