On the Oregon Trail

Just to update those of you who might look at this, (Hi Brandon and Samantha!!) we are supposed to close on the 30th of May. They want to move in on the 25th though. So we may be on the road to Portland on the afternoon of the 25th! I am still planning on working that day. So we will see. Kevin is going to go up to Portland in a couple of weeks and look for a rental so we have somewhere to go!!! Then we need to find jobs too I guess! Bummer. Anyway, that's what's happening.

These are some daffodils that I took a picture of when we were in Portland in March. Pretty, huh?

Wisdomless

Here I am 8 1/2 hours after getting my 3 wisdom teeth removed. Can you tell I'm not real happy about it?

Actually, the procedure itself didn't go too bad, since I was knocked out! First time I have ever been under general anthesisia. Not bad! Woo hoo! But they said that I did have a tooth that was up against the bone, so that was a little harder to extract. That is why they tell you to have it done when you are younger, so that they don't have time to grow. But even with all that, they said that the actual extraction of all 3 teeth only took 20 minutes! We got there at 9am and were out by 10!! Kevin was nice enough to take me and wait for me! He said he felt like the waiting room was an assembly line. They were calling people back constantly. One of the nurses told me that the surgeon does 20 extractions a day!! Kevin is just lucky that they didn't hustle him back there and pop his mouth open too!

As you can imagine, I have spent the rest of the day icing my face and napping. So far all I have had to eat is a cup of pudding and a yogurt. I will try for some soup a little later. It is about 6:30 and I am trying to fight off the urge to sleep after my last pill. I want to be able to sleep tonight!

I suppose my face will be all swollen tomorrow. That is when it is supposed to be the worst. I am already noticing it on my right had side where they removed two teeth. Plus it is starting to bruise. More pictures of that later!!! :>)

Hey Kevin, can you pass me another Vicodin?!?!?!?!

ROD STEWART IS SEXY AND I WANT HIS BODY!

Saturday night Kevin, Tanja, her husband Bruce and me, Bozo the Clown, rocked out at the Rod Stewart concert. I was afraid that it was going to be a bunch of his new "standards" stuff, but it was all rockin'!! Not too bad for a 62 year old! His dance moves were a little stiff, but I thought his voice was pretty good. Wish I could have said the same about my hair!! Thank goodness it was a rock concert, or I would have had to stay home!! Wish you could have been there with us Trevor!!
