lug nut day

there is nothing like a flat tire when you have actually gotten yourself ready for work EARLY.  i guess that should teach me a lesson about trying to get to work on time huh!?

after 30 minutes of blood and sweat (no tears) i was able to get the donut on the car!  

sexy huh?

sweat: obvious!  the 'blood' comes from me angrily opening the car door in to my shin... didn't really draw blood but it hurt like hell and is going to leave a pretty big shiner on my leg.  the 'no tears' came from knowing last night i drove home in the most terrifying rain and lightening storm with a huge nail in my tire... and i plan to drive to athens (the greatest city on earth) in less than 48 hours.  it is truly a blessing to have this occur in my own parking lot!  if thats not turning lemons into lemonade...  seriously though, you should have seen the nail i ran over (probably friday-ish)!  i think i described it as ginormous!  i am sure this flat could have happened at any time!  gotta shout it out to the boys at Kauffman Tire!  did you know they fix flats for FREE?  i guess that is so you will continue to buy tires from them... which i will!  on another note... i did find a pack of rolling papers in the compartment with the spare.  unfortunately for me Marley McSnoop Dogg took the rest of their stash prior to trading in the TSX.  (disclaimer: i am kidding... just in case i ever decide to run for something or the board of pharmacy finds this!)

little baby Mac is my favorite thing this week.  she came in to this world wednesday (as other regularly scheduled favorite things). since i was not able to get to NH until this evening to hug on the little cutie (and get a quick pic) i figured it would be quite alright to post it a day late!  it is so amazing to see my friends become moms!  i remember growing up thinking that these days were make believe and ages away.  i am not on the page to make it a reality just yet... but super thrilled to take a little (actually pretty huge) step in that direction as i get ready to be a wife!  

today also forces me to pay attention to the circle of life!  as one dear friend brings a new life in to this world, another sadly says goodbye to her last grandparent.  those days came and went for me several years ago… no one likes to see friends and 'family' hurting.  i missed the blessing of having 4 generations in the same room on my side.  all i know is that since i am taking my mother's maiden name back in just over 11 months, i can only think my dear grama is up there tinkering with things to leave her  mark on my future!

WFT: not that exciting

when i woke up this morning i honestly did not think a simple anesthetic oral gel would be what stand out beyond my REAL favorite thing this week… but that will be postponed for another wednesday.

it has been a long day and i have a canker sore under the back of my tongue so one of the simple things in life made me feel better.  

and i am really hungry but it hurts to eat or drink :(  i can not even focus on work, reading, or tv due to the annoyance in the back of my mouth.  

unfortunately i had to turn one of the things i thought was a favorite in to a "never again" item.  since 'real' food hurts to eat, i thought a smoothie would be a great supplement for lunch… how bad can Smoothie King be?  i have been drinking the cranberry supreme for about 15 years and loving every minute of it.  why TODAY did i actually decide to take a look at the nutritional content?  

calories and carbs: a gazillion

protein and actual nutritional value: 6

we will be changing the flavor of "my favorite smoothie" and if it ends up being fabulous, maybe it will end up on WFT.
