Surgery is OVER

Well, surgery went well, doctor said it was pretty bad one of the worst if not the worst he has seen. My over night was not the best, I was in so much pain and constantly be waken up to be checked on. I will post some pictures later, but currently I am so sad about my hair! They had to cut about an inch off above both ears to do the disk part. I have 6 stitches, real ones..little thread tails and all and 6 screws that I will have for life in my jaw.

Currently I have a neck that is sooo swollen, its huge, all meat head like and starting to bruise. My cheeks are all kinds chubby like a chipmonk and bruising also. My jaw I will say is nice and forward, I think I will like it once its all said and done. My teeth feel so weird too, I have always been able to put my tongue between the top and bottom and now i cant! Good news, only 6 more months of braces, we hope!

Sad part, I am on an all liquid diet, I can have up to a milkshake consistency. So that means, waters, ice cream, sorbet, jello, pudding and soups. Does anyone have any awesome reciepes for anything liquid. Or a really yummy soup that I could try? Well, time to go ice my face, and wait for my liquid lunch!

Hope you all have a great day!

Car Wreck

Well, Cole's and my families luck seem to just be getting worse this summer. Cole and I were in a wreck on Friday, we think we are okay, I am going to the doctor today and Cole is calling his doctor to try and get in tomorrow when he does not have class all day. Poor guy hurts, his shoulder that just got fixed 6 months ago is now hurting again, as well as his hip. I on the other hand, well I was thrown to the door and then in to the center console, so I hurt on both sides, my jaw hurts worse from clenching and my back and neck are killing me!

I will say Cole and I were lucky, after the driver hit us, he hit another girl and rear ended her. Worst part was the driver had his 2 year old in the car, no seat belt or car seat! Needless to say, driver was arrested for child endangerment, and got 5 tickets, now insurance on the other hand, has not accepted fault in this yet, so we are waiting on them. Oh best part, the driver who hit us, well he has a great wrap sheet of priors, which I can tell you do not make me a happy person! Why can people just not learn from the first mistake! Grrrrr

On a happy note, we only need 2 more animal giveaway sponsors! Keep sending sponsors over, we are so excited to do a pet month! We have also started to book next year for giveaways, so if you want to join in, let us know so we can get you down!

Well, time for me to pack my over night bag for the hospital for tomorrow. Any ideas on what I need to take?

Stay Safe and Smile!

Outlet Shopping on Tax Free Weekend

So, it's tax free weekend here in OK! Yay! So I decided, well half my clothes are lost and some of them are starting to not fit, better go save some money. This weekend, OKC's new outlet mall just opened today, so I decided I would go brave the crowds to see what I could find. I lasted 2 hours, waited in line for an hour at Polo to buy a few shirts. I thought of going to look at Coach but their line was around the building and most other places were just to packed. Worst thing is that people were parking blocks and blocks away, thank goodness I got a semi close spot. But once I was out there and was waiting and realized it was so long, I wondered is it worth it? Is the few dollars you save worth the hours you spend in time. What do you all think of tax free weekend, is it worth saving money during the summer to go and spend it all during tax free weekend?

So did I learn my lesson on this? No, not really because Cole, Dani and I will be there early Sunday morning to try and find shoes for Cole, look at Coach for me and see if I can find any other cheap clothes for this fall. I guess maybe next year I will decide if it is worth it after this year. But so far, the $3 I saved in tax, well it hasn't really paid off since I am sure the gas cost more then I saved.

Still need 2 more pet giveaways! We are all full for this year, except pet month, and have started on 2012! I am so excited to share my honest opinions on products that maybe you have wondered is it worth it.

Time to find some stuff for my apartment at my parents, that way it is all in a nice little pile for when I move the rest. Since, I am sure I will be very out of it after this surgery when it comes to moving! Time to work on my pile and find everything I need!

Have a Great Day!

Take Out Prices

So I dont know about where you guy's are from, but here in OKC, when you eat Mexican almost every resturaunt gives you FREE chips, salsa and queso. What I dont understand is why when I get it to go, you dont want to ever give me enough. I could eat there, drink water and pay the same price and tip the same amount, because I believe in tipping even when I get to go since it is still a server and they depend on tips. So why not give me enough stuff to feed the four people I am feeding, more so why do you argue with me when I just spent $50 on the food! Grrr so annoying, maybe one day people will realize to go needs the same treatment.

New layout! I found a NEW layout that I LOVE! I also added some more info on our up coming giveaways for this month. I will up date this every month, that way you can all see what is on its way.

*REMEMBER* We still have open spots for October for our Pet Extravaganza Giveaway! If you know someone please send them over to the blog, that way we can have a full month. We still have 3 spots open.

Time to now do some more responding to e-mails for the giveaways! We have some good ones coming up and we have even started working on NEXT YEAR!!

Have a Great Night!

It was Cheesey Turkey Tostadas, so yummy and only took an hour in the crockpot! I should have taken a picture to show to everyone. I also used a jar of my salsa that I canned last week. This week, I am going to try to make Apple Butter to can, I LOVE APPLE BUTTER! so yummy and so easy from what I have seen!

Doggie Deal

So, just thought I would let everyone know there is an awesome doggie treat deal going on right now! Nylabone has a $2 off ANY nylabone editable, I have found small treats at petsmart for .57 on clearence and then full bags that are $2.50 on clearance. This means, you can get either a FREE treat or super cheap treats! You even get the overage on the .57 treat, which means you can add a toy, they have tons on clearance for around a dollar, pigs ears or a hoof! How awesome is that?! Peaches has some new toys and treats all for under $2. My sister and boyfriend both did this deal, I even got a $3 off of a $3 purchase, from petsmart on my receipt. So the three of us got 6 ears, 4 hoofs, 2 bags of treats, 3 singles and 2 small toys, all for under $5! We are stocked up for awhile now, we are so excited about this find! The coupon last till the 15th, so make sure to get yours and go find your great deal and stock up! Take the hubby or boyfriend, brother or sister and kids, this is a great deal!

Just wanted to let everyone in on the deal! So did Peaches, she is sooo verry excited! She said Bella, my sisters pug, and Kitty, Cole's pitbull, are excited too! They love a good treat and toy deal!

Oh and we got a review and giveaway for an It Works Wrap!! How exciting! We also have one for Nuriche products! I am sooo excited for these two! Has anyone out there tried either one?

Sponsor Fall Out

We had a sponsor back out. So we are not going to be able to start the giveaways next week. We will be looking for a NEW Passion Parties consultant to fill this spot. We are also looking for other consultants from other companies and small business owners. Do you know someone who may want to join in? Send them over here and tell them to check us out!

Update on my car! Well, I was suppose to have her back yesterday, but due to my sunroof being damaged, and causing a problem with my headliner, I now have to wait longer so I can get a brand new headliner. I cant wait till I get my car back, I have missed it so much. I am worried that I will stall my car when I go to leave since I havn't driven a standard in so long. I just want my car, I just want to see her and see how cute she is and how great they did fixing her.

Surgery is going to be next week! I am excited that I finally get to have my jaw fixed, 5 years later. This surgery is going to be a very long surgery, so I will be absent for a little bit from the blog. I will be having a surgery that is over 6 hours long and requires an overnight hospital stay. But dont worry, I will keep up with the giveaways and reviews, my sister and Cole will help.

Time to get working on more blog sponsors. Do you know someone who wants to sponsor a giveaway and review? Have them contact us so we can get them on the calender.

Stay Cool, Stay Healthy and SMILE!
