Wisdom teeth

I got my wisdom teeth pulled this morning. Yep, all 4. I've never been put to sleep for anything before and let me tell you, it was a surreal experience. But I would love the option for all future dental work, it's so easy.

I was kind of freaking out when I went in, the idea of getting put to sleep is a little scary... What if it doesn't work? What if my body falls asleep but my mind stays awake? Horrors... It happened really fast. They hooked me up to a couple machines, stuck a needle in my arm (OUCH) and then I started to feel calmer (the nurse said she would give me something to calm down). I remember maybe 5 seconds after that and then the next thing I know they're getting me up and putting me in a wheelchair. This part was all so foggy... I vaguely remember being helped into the car and then constantly being told to keep my eyes open on the way home (not easy). I had to walk with my arm around Jesse to get in the house and to my bed. My body felt like rubber, there was no way I could walk by myself. Luckily I didn't have any nausea which can be pretty common. We changed out my gauze and then I went to sleep for a little bit. Then I got some pain meds and a snack (applesauce!), then more sleep. A few more interruptions to change out gauze and then my numbness was pretty much gone so bring on the ibuprofen! That stuff works wonders... Then some ice cream for lunch and a visit from my baby which was nice, he is getting way too good at my iPad... Lol

At this point I am feeling much more aware and I can actually use my body again. We are waiting to see if the bleeding has stopped so I can get this gauze out of my mouth. I didn't taste any blood in my ice cream so fingers crossed!

Shout out to my husband, Jesse. He is amazing. He has been so good taking care of me today and making sure I have everything I need. I love him so much!

So all in all my wisdom teeth experience has been much better than expected. I've still got a way to go for healing but the hard part is over. :)

dusty blog

Has it really been almost 3 years since my last post??? Holy cowpies. I miss blogging. I need a place to clear my head... so here I am. Just for a quick update... here are some of the highlights of the past couple years:

I started an Etsy shop. I sell digital items and it's a lot of fun. Check it out: fortysevendesign.etsy.com

Jesse is back at FYE and is now the store manager at Gilbert.

We moved into a house. Woohoo!

I had a baby boy. Yep. I created life. Todd Lyric Jenkins was born on April 21, 2013. He is almost a year old now and just the cutest darn thing ever.

I became an independent consultant with The Pampered Chef. I'm still fairly new and I love it. I have so much fun, I just wish I could get busier with it. Anyone want to have a Facebook party???

So those are the highlights. I might go into more detail later but for the sake of catching up, here we are. I would love to know if anyone is still out there... shoot me a comment!

Current Obsessions

There are a few things I've been absolutely loving lately so I thought I'd take the time to share them with you.

Number one: Allie Brosh

She is the author of Hyperbole and a Half and some other articles on the interwebs. I've been reading her backposts and such for a while now but in the last couple weeks it seems that's all I've been doing. She is taking up all of my time anymore. For real. She is 90% of the reason I haven't been going to bed until 1 or 2 am because I can't. stop. reading. She is amazing and she just posted that she will be publishing a book next fall. So excited! Check her out:

Number two: DML Podcast

At the Renaissance Festival there is a hilarious act called The London Broil Show. It consists of three guys (Duncan, Matt, Louie) that have been best friends since high school and everything that comes out of their mouths is freaking hilarious. seriously. They started a podcast a few months ago while they were here and they have 7 episodes out now that make me laugh until I cry. They are available on iTunes but I listen to them here:

Let me know what you think!

What are you currently obsessing over?

Getting to Know YOU

It's Sunday and I'm hopping on the bandwagon. If you'd like to participate go to www.mannland5.com and link up!

1. what's your favorite rainy day activity?

Honestly, if it's raining during the day - watching the rain. I live in Arizona so it's like a phenomenon and it usually doesn't last very long. If it is a truly rainy day then I like to sit and read or something quiet so I can listen to it. It usually rains at night so I love falling asleep to the sound too.

2. what time do you go to bed?

Usually anywhere between 10pm and 2am.

3. how many magazines do you subscribe to?

We used to have random free subscriptions all the time when Jesse worked at FYE but now we don't get anything. We get a lot of magazines at work so I just read them there. Usually Entertainment Weekly, People and occasionally Cosmo.

4. did you sell all your belongings because you thought the world was ending yesterday?

hahaha no. I don't even understand what people were trying to gain when they did that...

5. what's your beauty obssesion?

hmm... right now I'm loving my Umberto Blow Dry Lotion and Umberto Dry Clean Dry Shampoo. The first keeps my hair from frizzing (I hardly ever blow dry my hair and I still love it) and the second lets me go an extra day without wet hair. As far as makeup is concerned - mine's permanent so I don't really have to worry about it. I use my Prescriptives foundation and powder every day and that's it. :)

6. if you could only wear one designer/brand for the rest of your life...what would it be?

Well, I'm currently loving the shirts they have at Target now from Stranded. So maybe them? I dunno, I'm so bad with brands.

7. what's your summer must have?

Flip flops! I wear them all the time. Also water (of course that's all the time for me but especially during summer) and air conditioning! It gets hot.

8. do you make weekly dinner menus?

Nope. I've thought about it but what if I don't feel like what I planned that night or whatever. I'm more of a "what do I feel like now" person. If I can decide on dinner before I come home I stop at the grocery store and pick up what I need. Otherwise it's frozen food or easy pantry stuff. Sometimes.

Yep.

Boo!

Just want to let you know that I am still here and I do mean to get back to blogging again. It's so hard for me to keep up with anything. I really really wanted to do a post the other day and it was going to be so awesome but I was thinking about it while at work - in the morning. Needless to say, by the end of the day when I got home and could finally sit down and type, I lost all motivation. poo. Need to find a way to get around that... I seem to have most of my inspiration hit me in the morning but seeing as I can't get out of bed in the morning I barely have time to get ready let alone eat something or sit and write. Ugh... I wish so badly to be a morning person. Alas, I am and always have been, a night owl. meh.

Looking for inspiration,

Kristi

Quiktrip

Well it's happened. I'm excited and I'm scared. Our world has officially been turned upside down. But in a good way. Something new to get used to. Jesse got the call that we've been waiting for on Monday. He officially works for QT. The company is awesome and has some amazing opportunities. He went in for orientation this morning and starts work Sunday night. Yep that's right, he's working NIGHTS. Starts at 10 and works 'til 7. I'm going to be all alone. I'm so glad I have Bella to make me feel safe. She's vicious. He'll be working 5 nights a week and working days at Broadway Palm. I'm so proud of him. Hopefully we'll be making enough money to start paying down our debt! Yay.

So like Jesse's been singing all night... Hakuna Matata!

PS. Sorry about the multitude of posts today, lets just say I'm making up for the week. ;)
