Several Things

Several things happened last night. Some were yummy, some were painful, some were beyond awesome, and some were just...fun haha
1. Let us begin with "yummy": My mother-in-law's bf, Mark, made steaks for the fam last night and I had to work so what happened? Dan brought me some for dinner! Mmmm!
2. "Painful": After Dan brought me dinner, we were closing up. Each night we have to take the drink heads off the soda machines and wash them in soda nozzle cleaner mixed with water in a 5 gal. bucket... So, I was in the back getting the bucket of water to clean them and I started heading back up front to get cleaning with the bucket in my arms. Little did I know, there was a small puddle of water on the floor. I stepped right in that puddle and then both of my feet came out from under me... I tried to catch myself on the wall and proceeded to punch the wall instead and wack my elbow on the floor as I fell, dumping the entire bucket of water all over myself and the floor. I was soaked.  Let's just say, my butt and elbow hurt something good today haha
3. "Beyond awesome": Becca got her wisdom teeth out yesterday (poor girl haha) so Dan and I brought her some sherbet ice cream when I got off work at 11pm. We were debating whether to go that late or just go tomorrow but boy am I glad we went when we did! When we pulled in the driveway there was a new car parked in front of us and we couldn't figure out who it was... until someone started peeking out the front window of the house to see who was there. It was my cousins, Melissa, Nick, and Alex and my Aunt Lisa!! They had just driven down spur of the moment from Spanish Fork to test out the new ride! Ahhh! I only saw them for a moment but it totally made my night! (Love you Henrie's!! So glad we saw you guys!)

4. And now for the "just...fun": After we hit up my family's house, we went to Dan's mom's house to drop off Christina and have Cody cut Dan's hair. Chrissy spilled the beans in the car that they were planning to put designs in Dan's hair and I was totally against it! I was picturing random bald spot designs and I was NOT up for that haha but they did it anyway and it actually doesn't look bad! It's kinda fun. Cody cut Dan's hair and then cut a star shape into it. Not even any giant bald spots! haha What do ya think?

Slow Dancing

Today was an ALMOST perfect Sunday.
I would say that it was perfect, but I didn't go to church today because I'm still "on the mend" from the teeth episode. Hence the ALMOST.
But I was able to get some laundry done and some reading done (HP7 and the BoM, baby!)
I cleaned the house
I read with Erin
I attempted to eat cookies my mom made
I talked to my parents
I talked to my sisters
I watched a movie with Dan
and then the most wonderful part of the night happened...
We put on some music and we all (Erin, Becca, Collette, Dan, and I) danced in the family room.
Dan taught Erin to slow dance
Becca and Collette took turns dancing with him too
And then Collette and Becca picked some songs for Dan and me to dance to...
And Dan slow danced with me (and occasionally serenaded me) in my family room
It was totally romantic (even with my sore mouth and sweat pants)

Gosh, I love that guy! ♥♥♥♥♥

Best slow dancing songs:
Marry Me by Train
Then by Brad Paisley
When Did You Fall by Chris Rice

Wisdom Teeth

Yesterday was the dreaded day. Yup, Thursday Dec. 9th. The day I got my wisdom teeth out.
Well, I'll let you in on a little secret...it wasn't as bad as I thought.
I was super nervous to go to the dentist and yes, I did have a minor freak out (but really you wouldn't blame me because it really does hurt to have a needle stuck up in the roof of your mouth AND especially when you are already doped on medicine to make you tired and your mouth is so numb you can't swallow). I got really cold so they gave me a blanket and yeah, I cried a little...and even started shaking horribly haha (I told you...a minor freak out). But when they gave me the laughing gas on top of the meds they already gave me, I was fine. I got numbed up to the max and they pulled three of my teeth out "lickety-split". The last one was not in yet and was impacted a bit so they got in there and took that one out too and then stitched me right up and sent me home. My mom went with me and from then I've just been home sleeping and eating soft foods and such. At one time I thought I was going to pass out but I went and laid down and was fine.
Dan has been great to come sit with me and watch movies and my family has been taking awesome care of me.

Yeah, my cheeks are cute huh? And I know, I look lovely...

Today I woke up with a little bit of a sore mouth and swollen cheeks (more so on the right than the left haha) but I was able to eat pizza for dinner! It was cut up into bite-sized pieces but...still, it was pizza! haha
Other foods of choice include:
scrambled eggs
mashed potatoes
pudding
ice cream
rice
yogurt

My mouth has been sore off and on but with some lovely medication, I've been pretty ok.
Another secret? I'm getting sick of laying around... but it's nice to relax for a bit though :)

Because I feel like complaining

1. I hate my wisdom teeth coming in. They hurt.
2. I hate shopping for a wedding dress. They are expensive and I can't find one I like.
3. I hate the cold. My office is freezing right now. Seriously, I'm pretty much frozen.
4. I hate group projects/group lesson plans/group presentations
5. I hate when people continue to complain when there is nothing I can do to fix their problem
6. I hate the sound of the recorder (the annoying instrument kids learn to play)
7. I hate math tests.
8. I hate hang nails or the skin that comes up around your fingernails and gets all sore.
9. I hate leggings/jeggings/tight stretchy pants/etc. They are ugly.
10. I hate my wisdom teeth coming in. They hurt... Oh. Sorry. I already mentioned that
