So, you might be wondering how I'm doing... Well, I went back to work on Monday and just have been trying to take it easy. Not lifting any heavy weight, but trying to move as much as I can. The pain for the most part is gone. Now it's just more tender to the touch and to press up against anything. I just wish the body would get back to normal. I had one of the stitches come out. I called the doc to inform them, but they told me to keep an eye on it and if it gets any worse let them know. Anyways, as you can tell by the pictures that follow, I haven't lost the gas/bloating/swealing that happened since the surgery. I tried on some "Fat day" jeans the other day and I could BARELY get them on. I'm still wearing the 2 pairs of maternity pants that I bought before the procedure. And if you look at the pictures... I look like I'm pregnant. Maybe soon! I can only hope!

We dropped mom off on Saturday, on the way back we stopped off to Bavarian Inn, for their famous chicken dinners. It was VERY yummy with not a pretty price tag along with it. Oh well! After we ate we were off to Bronners - We got a few things! We walked out of there with only spending $22! That's a record for us!

Here's a few things that I got:











































I also got a few more Snowman Ornaments and a banner. But I have been going around looking for a snowflake, snowman or a star Tree topper. No success, yet! But I will find one! I have though gotten a few other things. Take a look and everything that I'm getting is $10 or less! Can't beat that!






























































Christmas Invites DONE! They are even mailed out now too! I worked on these for a couple of days and I think they turned out really good! I liked using my scrapbooking skills!

Here's how they turned out!

































When I was at Micheal's looking for the supplies for to make the invitations - I found some recipe cards that had the snowflake design. I thought it would be interesting to put them in with the invitation to have everyone bring a recipe and exchange them at the party - whomever was interested.



















I went to the dentist today to get a filling. The numbing took FOREVER to fade, but finally it has! I also went to Goodwill to buy another pair of Maternity Pants. Since as I said earlier - I can't fit into my own pants. Which SUCKS! But I'm hoping it won't take that much longer to get back to normal.

I don't get another day off till Black Friday. Which is alright I guess. Considering that two of the days are only 4 hour shifts. That being Saturday and Thanksgiving. I know Saturday I'm decorating my office. That should be fun. Mom gave me a little Fiber-optic Christmas tree, which I'm taking that into work. Now, I just need to load all of the Christmas music back onto my Ipod, since it's becoming that season! Where did this year go, honestly. This year has just flown by!

Here's a picture of the small tree!
Isn't so cute? It comes with the ornaments!







I was hoping that there would be some good sales this year, since money is a little more tight than it was last year, due to all of the doctor visits, co-pays and medications. Hopefully we can still get some nice things for a good deal, without seeming cheap. I have taken a look at the flyers for this black friday. The good site that I like going to, since I like to "look" at the ad and not look at a list is http://www.blackfriday.info/ Great Site! There's nothing that really catches my eyes or Eric's eyes. He did see a Blue ray disc player at Sears and Kmart that he was interested in, but I'm a little resistant on that. I just don't want to switch everything over to Blue Ray. Does that sound stupid or no? The best thing that I saw was movies and more movies for dirt cheap! That's what we are getting! That's fine by me! :-)

I have been working on the class reunion stuff lately. Trying to find some of the people that I haven't been able to get the addresses for. I think I still have 22 people left for addresses. I need to really get a move on it, since I have to have the list sent in sometime in December.

Well, I think I'm done for now. I will write more, when I have more to say! :-P
