I Hate My Mouth

Well. The wisdom teeth saga continues...

After surgery I used up my entire pain prescription, part of Brian's, and half of a new stronger prescription. Brian consumed ONE pill, for the whole process. ONE. Zoinks. So then. I got dry sockets...yaaay. So that took a couple more painful visits to pack them with that horrible stuff that tastes like cloves and ruins every single meal you attempt to eat. We threw out those glorious looking socks that hold ice packs and velcro around your face thinking everything would be a-okay! Then I peaced to Florida, syringe in hand, thinking everything would be just dandy! Annnd it was. Until I got back. 

So a couple days ago it felt like something was lodged back there but for the life of me I could not get access to it because the hole was so tiny and well, I'm no oral surgeon. So today I wake up and my cheek has assumed the chipmunk position. Just the right side. So I'm a lopsided chipmunk and in pain and I have cloves in my mouth again and a largo prescription for amoxicillin. Again. So great.

Cursed I am. At least I'm pretty sure. Although things have to stop going wrong at some point right? Right. Ugh.

Stakeout of Sorts...

I do declare that today is blogworthy. So. Here we are.

Started off the day with some "lifting" at the Polo Fields gym with Sammy and Sarah...which mainly consisted of watching the spelling bee on ESPN and beating the children on the screen...needless to say, we were pretty proud of our spelling skills and kind of really upset that we never got the chance to show off our skills on television. But we got over it...mostly.

Then on the way back to home base, Sarah and I witnessed a couple of police cars beginning the takeover of the Wagner and Liberty intersection...clearly we were pretty curious and will be checking out the newspaper to satisfy that little need to know. Anyways. By the time Brian and I left to go back out that way there were approximately six police cars stationed all around this intersection. Now, either the county police were extremely bored and just decided that this intersection was the new hip hangout, or something kind of serious was happening. I was hoping to actually witness whatever was supposed to transpire, but of course I was not so lucky. So besides the fact that that was extremely pointless since I can't figure out why they were really there, feel free to inform me if you find out.

Onward with the day...headed out to Emerson to perform some simple slave labor. Putting together stationary bundles to thank the volunteers...believe me. There are A LOT of volunteers. I'm just wondering if I get one of those for putting them all together! Hahaha not really. But kind of. 

Okay so maybe today wasn't blogworthy. But I feel like I've been lacking on the posts as of late. Nothing very humorous seems to be happening...or at least nothing worth reporting! 

Time for volleyball. Peace and love.

One Dollar, Bob!

I have returned from the great state of Florida...and the lovely Islamorada Key. Twas a grand vacation with my second family, the WGs and all their glory! Learned a few things along the way...including the fact that iguanas can swim...and I guess need to be near a pool in order to drop a load, which really adds to the whole natural landscape part of things, but not exactly appreciated to the highest degree. 

The trip began with the plane ride out. I was plopped between Little Miss Sarah and a man on the larger side who came to be known as Sir Hairy Arms in my book. He conked out just after take off, with a successful takeover of the armrest and beyond, and the lovely large curly hairs on his arm started their trek to annoy me, which as most of you know takes little to no effort. 

It was a mix of sunshine and rain, but always hot (and I was so acclimated to the warm climate that I have spent the entire day walking around in shorts, a t-shirt, socks, and a blanket due to the chilly sensation that Michigan is compared to the Keys)! We had a couple of power outages to add some excitement into the swing of things, which led to games of Quiddler by emergency light...speaking of which, somehow, someway, I beat Momma Jann in a game of Quiddler! The winning combination of "claw me thin boy" shot my score through the roof toward victory! Amazing. I can quite honestly say that I never saw that one coming!

Delicious food was consumed throughout the week (naturally)...thanks to all our friends from under the sea. Poppa Joel caught some largo dolphin for dinner one night...tres delicioso. I don't even know what language that is, but it's totally fine. Pretty sure it's Spench...mmm no I like Franish better. See if you can figure that one out...I do hope you can because otherwise, we may or may not be able to continue life as we know it...whhhhat am I saying.

Time out on the boat was glorious! Minus the fact that we were assaulted by the sun...oops...but it was sweet! The ride out was roller coaster-esque, and we only had to stop once for a pee break in the middle of the ocean to avoid a potential accident of the teensing variety. The whole attempt at catching a fish was kind of a failure...but I did see a big fatty leap out of the waves which was cool, a bunch of cool fish pointed out by Captain Joel, and we witnessed some dolphins frolicking among the deep blue...well, it wasn't that deep where we were at that point, but that's okay. 

A Few Key Observations (haha)...and such:

• Nearly everyone in the Keys has a dog. Unreal. 
• Some even get to travel in strollers...or the designated shopping carts that are provided
• Mullets aplenty. So great.
• Iguanas can swim, but we've been over that already. So gross.
• It is in fact possible to overeat every single night at dinner. 
• The winner of the Key Lime Pie Contest this year was Islamorada Fish Co. Top notch cashew crust really brought it to a whole new level.
• Barbie can be beat, at least when it comes to solitaire.
• Gingerly touching tips is a necessity in life.
• Geckos are extremely elusive creatures. In other words, they're just way too fast to catch.
• Dawn and her old lady friends are all loud talkers.
• Mecca still is a sight to see. And a beautiful one at that.
• Pretty much every radio station plays oldies tunes. So solid.
• The WGs rock.

Well. I suppose I should probably go eat dinner or do something productive...but who are we kidding, I have nothing that needs to get done! Ahhh summer life. Simply greatness in a season.

Stupid Mouth.

So. I have become quite accustomed to laying around with a really attractive sock velcro-ed around my face for the past few days...and the whole Vicodin thing...and the whole not eating anything...yeah that's probably the highlight of this whole process! 

Gee whiz. They take out the wisdom teeth and I'm rather dead, Brian on the other hand is just freaking dandy! Running around playing sports and doing yard work and eating real food and galavanting about town. Killer. Another thing that's so very un-twinlike of us. Polar opposite recoveries. 

Maj and Faj announced last night that they're happy to have us home! Who knew?! Jeebs. That was rather exciting to hear slash a little reassuring too. It was touch and go for awhile back there. Hahaha. What else. Nothing. Because my life is tres boring slash not there's just nothing really reportable that ever happens. 

Right. So. I believe I'm being kidnapped by Sarah a little later to go to Target and flounce around all merrylike. Should be grand. :)

A Dumber Andrea...Coming Soon!

Wellp. We're getting ever so close to this whole wisdom teeth extraction deal. Not exactly on the top of my to-do list...especially considering I get nauseous and nervous going to the normal dentist to get my teeth cleaned. COOL. Such a baby....Iiiii know. 

Anywayyyys. Naturally I'm starving. I ate a bowl of cereal at about nine this morning and then haven't been allowed to eat since. And we were cut off of liquids at 1:30. Killer. Let's get this over with so I can start the mush food diet! WOO!

I really have nothing to say. Just wanted to post a post. Right. I have filled my time with crafting, reading, puzzles, movies, and basically just a general mixation of anything that doesn't accomplish anything. Except the crafting kind of does...but that's done in front of the TV and is a semi-mindless funtivity. 

Alright. Good day. Feel free to stop in and play with the drugged up versions of the Brain and I. Yeah...two for the price of one...well not really but you know what I mean. :)

Home again.

Hello my long lost readers! I just regained access into my GMail account!! Who knew that would ever happen!?

Anyhoozles. Freshman year is officially donezo! Thaaaank goodness. Summer shall be wonderful... and a full four months of it too! How great is that? Especially since next year starts super late. Weird. 

Ummm let's see here what has happened?! Move out twas grand. Brain came and helped me out with the whole process...it was rather laugh-filled and ridiculous for the most part, but hey it got done! I even let him carry my couch all by himself in hopes of finding a new girlfriend! I know, I'm just too nice...

So I've been home for a grand total of...three days? And the rents have already made it pretty darn clear that they can't wait for us to leave again. How wonderful. Should make for a fun summer! Hahahaha...perhaps once the rest of my friends get back and I actually have things to do that will get me out of the house they'll like me a bit more. It's a stretch, but hey! It could happen! ...right?

Yeah so I do absolutely nothing on a daily basis. It's pretty great. I got a bunch of errands done the first day...since then we've had a rather abrupt halt to anything even close to productive. I read an entire book yesterday...and I've started a crafting project! Those are both pretty good I guess. 

Right, well, if anything exciting happens I'll be sure to report it...don't hold your breath though!

Ankle will be injected Tuesday and wisdom teeth out Wednesday (haha that could make for an interesting post)! Yaaaay! Hokay. Schmadios.
