// one // it was a long, long weekend. late thursday night/friday morning we went to the ER because kip was having stomach pains. long story short, kip had appendicitis and had to have his appendix removed. I went a whole 40 hours without sleep, and then haven’t slept much the rest of the weekend either to make sure he wakes up to take his pills every four hours. he’s been feeling awful since surgery. one of my best friends husband had the same thing happen three weeks ago, and they had gotten back from a three week trip to Italy just days before. they were so lucky they were home and not abroad or on an airplane. it scares the living daylights out of me that this just comes out of nowhere with no warning, and without the surgery asap can be extremely, extremely dangerous. anyways, we look so happy in the blurry pic above, which we were not so it cracks me up. he was on morphine prior to surgery but I have no idea why I am smiling. (we did luck out and get put into surgery quickly after his CT scan and diagnosis. originally we were told it would be 5 hours until they could get him in for surgery, so I guess we were really excited about him not having to wait). but anyways blah-blah-blah. prayers were answered and surgery went very well; thankfully kip is safe at home and resting and doing much better than he was a few days ago.
// two // I went to Target on Sunday morning to pick up some groceries and meds for kip, and I was all excited because I had seen on instagram that the new 2015 sugar paper planners were out. alas, no planners to be found. I was excited for a cute and affordable new planner. however, I DID make it out of target without buying anything superfluous – I stuck to my list 100% – which is definitely the first time that has ever happened.
// three // mackenzie horan from design darling posted about the lively show on her friday links. I had ever heard of it before and now I absolutely love it. I downloaded a few of the podcasts and listened to them while I was tiptoeing around this weekend making sure not wake kipper up when he fell asleep. how sweet eats was the first one I listened to, I love her blog, especially the “crumbs” section where she just rambles about anything. shocking that I enjoy the long rambling posts the most , right?
// four // ummmmm something tells me there is no way that Tom Cruise and Lilo is possible. this may possibly rank as one of the most ridiculous magazine cover stories ever. there is just no way.
// five // did you see the crazy pants wallenda walk across the tightrope in chicago last night? it was seriously unreal. {I was very jealous of the people that live in the condos in that building and could watch it from their balcony. it must have been insane to see in person.}
// six // I used our le creuset dutch oven for the first time on sunday to make an incredible recipe I’ll be sharing tomorrow. I understand all the hoopla around them – I love it love it love it. For some reason it made me feel super married and chef like and grown up. but then I read the pottery barn teen magazine that was delivered and wanted 90 things in it, and I felt like my true immature inner 13 year old again. (like…. when I wrote dutch oven up there I giggled internally because how often do you hear dutch oven when it is referring to a cooking tool and not…. ya know….)
Oh my gosh – I am happy to hear Kip is OK! So scary (and not in the good "Halloween Scary")
Looking forward to that recipe – I need to use our dutch oven 🙂
Glad he is ok!! I have a Le Creuset dutch oven on my Christmas List!
I had my appendix out in the spring and the first few days are rough. It gets better but he will still probably be pretty tired for a week or so because of the meds given during surgery and after.
I heard today that Tom Cruise and Miranda Kerr were dating!! Who knows how reliable my sources are… Wonder if his church has to approve his new gf.. Doubt it that Lindsay Lohan could pass any test like that.
