I got 99 problems...
Wait. No I don't!!! And I plan on keeping it that way!
I don't think I can truly explain how difficult it has been for me to find silly khaki/black straight leg/tapered leg pants for work. I've been looking for at least 3 months and still I haven't found a pair I'm stoked on. How ridiculous. I'm thinking of going with a skirt instead, I think it'll be more comfortable anyhow. Also...that gives me another excuse to go shop shop shopping.
V-Day is coming up and Etsy keeps teasing me with amazing goods, like these sweet earrings.
And this amazing card:
A girl can dream, right?!

My first robot arrived!!!!!!
And it's amazing! I'm looking at him as I type this and he's WONDERFUL!!!! It was a nice surprise to see a package from Adam D sitting in my mailbox!!!!! I'd post a picture...but he's a present and I'd hate to spoil it!
Today was spent in San Francisco with shopping with Katie and Brandon. We arrived at the Bay Bridge at 4:40pm. We soon realized if we pulled off for a few, we could make carpool and save $4!!! Since traffic was so heavy, we decided to play a fun game where we let EVERYONE who wanted, merge and zipper in front of us so we'd be further back and waste time. We got a little too close for comfort and we just pulled over to the side where Brandon pretended to be on his phone making a call (since he was driving and technically it's illegal to drive with a handheld phone).
We finally saw the carpool lane open up. And it opened up 6 lanes to the left of where we were, in completely stopped traffic. Oops!!!! So we made Brandon maneuver us all the way over and we got to the lane JUST before the lane separators started!!! Phwew!
We hit up a few stores and got a couple gifts. Thanks to me being all handicapped and what not, parking was free and it wasn't as crazy as I expected it to be. We picked up our friend Vince and went to some delicious place that had friend plantains with bean sauce. I fell in love.
On the way home we stopped by Candy Cane Lane in Vacaville to take in all the beautiful Christmas lights. It was a good day.

The game needed me
This "weekend" of mine has flown by. With friends making coming in from out of town for the holidays, the baking and the xmas crafting I haven't had much time to sit around. Gone are the days of being a cripple who does nothing. It's a blessing and a curse I suppose.
Tuesday I got to craft in a group and it was amazing. I hope it can be a more regular thing and not just a once. Ever.
Wednesday I was supposed to go shopping, but decided I should sleep instead. I never usually turn down shopping, as it IS one of my favorite past times, but I was tired. Brandon comes and wakes me up about 40 minutes later to see if I wanted to ride motorcycles. I couldn't go back to sleep so the two of us did about an 80 mile trip out to Lincoln and back.
Katie was in town and we went to dinner and then to the bar. I had a ton of fun and chair danced a lot of the night. There were quite a few people there and it was far from a dull evening. I didn't get to bed until about 4. I was very tired when I woke up at 9 to get to my folk's place to start baking.
Today I made 3 lemon meringue pies and helped with the pound cake Jeannie Mae made. I ate so much I thought my stomach was going to explode. I filled myself so full I didn't have much room for dessert, but...me being me, I shoveled it in anyway. Fat kid status. Brother and I got so full that once we sat down we were physically unable to get up. It's a good thing I spent that 3 minutes working out on the rowing machine before dinner got started. I showed that meal who was boss. There were only 8 of us for dinner, which seemed awfully empty, but it was an extraordinary group of people that I was very happy to have close and share dinner with. I can't think of a single Thanksgiving where the entire party could fit at one table.
Katie came over pretty late after visiting with her family and I drove her home. I'm not looking forward to going to work tomorrow, but I am happy there won't be any traffic. Gotta be happy about the little things, right? Gotta keep that PMA until my new schedule come January!

Number six? Really?
Or am I just making mountains again?
For the past 2 weeks or so, as my knee has been catching and locking up on me, I've become more and more concerned with my healing...which has led me to small pity parties with only me in attendance. Luckily, they only last as long as I am alone. Once someone comes over (or home) or when I get messages it usually cheers me up enough to not think about my knee. I've got extraordinary friends and family. Even when I don't think I seem like I'm putting out a Debbie Downer vibe, someone seems to know the right things to say or do.
The catching that's happening is obviously something deep inside my knee and it's cause enough for me to have called the doctor just before 5pm today. Apparently he works pretty late and shows concern for his patients because I received a call back from him around 9pm. Once I explained that my knee is now catching multiple times throughout the day and causing me pain on the regular he asked me to go in tomorrow morning so he can take a look at it. He reminded me that there's probably not a whole lot he can do, especially from just taking a look at the outside of the knee. We quickly talked about an MRI to check if we can see anything as far as progress goes. He also indicated that it's possible he'll have to go back in arthroscopically. Fortunately I still can't walk yet and arthroscopic surgeries are cake. There would be little rehab for the procedure.
My gut feeling is that this surgery hasn't taken. Wow. Writing that down makes it real, doesn't it. Maybe if I strikethrough that I still have a chance? Ahhh...that feels a little better. Still not quite reality.
Other than that silly knee thing, today was fantastic. I woke up late, got lunch made for me, was dropped off at PT and even though once I'd crutched home the doors were all locked, Brandon showed up soon after I had gotten there and let me in!! I got great news earlier and I'm going to try to make it up to my grandma's on Friday. She's a guaranteed "pick-me-up!!!!" What else is a fantastic pick-me-up?!
SHOPPING.
Handmade sweater jackets
I'll need these for my "uniform" for next year
I need these just because
This is funny and matches my wallet
Who DOESN'T want a mustache?
Upon my search of stuff for Jody and Amanda
I found things like this
But I can make things like this
But not like this. Link 80, go crazy.

I apologize now
For yet another extremely addiction site: Uncrate
It's the "buyers guide for men" which obviously doesn't help my case in proving that I'm not completely a tomboy and am into dudes, but it's a good site nonetheless.
To help maintain the fact that I'm still a girl, I DID find Outblush which is the babe version of Uncrate, however they do not have all the ish that I think is way cool like cars, motorcycles, electronics and furniture. They DO, however have shoes. Which is my favorite part. I double checked, so not to make myself a liar and it looks like they DO have cars and stuff...there's just not as much content. Maybe they need an expert like...me? Probably. I would love to have a job where I sit on the interwebz shopping all day long.
If you do, in fact, decide to go get lost on these sites and decide you need to purchase something...you can always check here: The Bargainist to see if there's a sweet deal.
I probably SHOULD get paid for advertising. I'd probably make a killing doing so.
