1 - Lights at Crown Center. As soon as I walked through this area, I knew I wanted to plan a date with Sean here sometime soon!
2 - I found these Christmas-flavored sodas at World Market a couple weeks ago! The bottles are really cute and I really just want to try them and see what they taste like! ...might be a good stocking stuffer idea!
3 - I made these little tree snow globes a while back. My best one is in a fish bowl which I will share sometime soon along with my Christmas decorations!
4 - My niece Ryleigh and her mama (my sister) had their family photos last week so here are my faves. Ryleigh is such a ham. I love my little peanut!
5 - This, my friends, is photo evidence of my first successful cake from scratch! My birthday was last Saturday and since I love to bake, I decided to make myself a vanilla (and perhaps whiskey...)-flavored cake! It was super yummy and the color turned out perfect!
6 - Sean is such a great listener/hint-taker when it comes to buying me gifts! He bought me my very first Pandora bracelet and two charms! One of which I had already picked out! I'm not sure if he knew I wanted it or not, but I like to think he just knows me that well. ;)
7 - So I mentioned about a month ago that I was in a lot of pain and considering having an infected tooth I had pulled. Well, I eventually made an appointment but just a couple days before, the tooth stopped hurting all together and I found that I was able to chew normally and all that without a hint of an issue.
Fast-forward to last week and the pain started all over again, but way worse than before. Not only that, but the whole right side of my face swelled up like a balloon.
I immediately made an appointment to have to tooth extracted. The other option was to get a root canal which I would have to wait until January or February for and I honestly wouldn't have been able to wait one more day, so I just went ahead and had it done. The operation was fine but the before and after were a complete nightmare. Long story short, I went in with the intention of just doing a local anesthetic and ended up having to be put to sleep because the pain was too much. There are other reasons the experience was the worst but it's over now and I'd rather not dwell on it. I have my medicine and plans to get an implant sometime after the first of the year. My face still looks like a chipmunk but it's getting better by the day, I think. Plus, chipmunk cheeks are cute, right? Or just maybe not on (adult) humans...
