Happy New Year!

We had just a thrilling New Years Eve, we weren't feeling well so we laid on the couch and watched 3 movies. It actually was kinda fun we haven't relaxed and just watched movies in a long time. One of the movies we watched was "Cars" that is just a cute little movie, very creative. Anyway at midnight Mike and Nathan went outside and joined all the other "hootin hoolerin" neighbors, some of our neighbors had some serious fireworks, so it was a colorful midnight. Last April I saw this Donny and Marie DVD at Costco. I remembered watching that show every Friday night growing up. I loved it, it started when I was 12, and I didn't miss many shows. Even if I had a sleep over all of my friends watched it too. I thought I would ask for it for my birthday. By the time June came around Costco was out of them. So for Christmas I ask for it and Mike got it for me. So one night all the guys went to a movie, and Erin let me watch my DVD. It was just 1 show from each season so it was 4 shows. But the funny thing was I really enjoyed it. It kinda took me back to the day:-)
I also got a Magic bullet, now I just need to watch the infomercial for it so I can remember how to make 60 second Alfredo sauce, and 30 second guacamole, that infomercial always cracked me up.
This is a diagram of my surgery. The white thing bulging into the yellow nerve root was the thing that was causing me all those months of pain. And that is what they took out.
Then they put a piece of somebody else's bone in my neck to keep it spaced properly.
And now I have this little plate in my throat. It is taking a little while to get used to the feeling of the lump in my throat. The second day it caused me to "projectile" vomit all day. It looked kinda funny like I was in a Saturday night live skit or something. Well now that it is almost 2 weeks behind me I think I can laugh about it:-)

Our best and favorite New Years Eves so far have been hanging out at home and watching movies. I love doing that. Cars is a cute movie, isn't it? Because of Max I've probably watched (or more like sat through) it like 100 times. But it's still a good show.
Happy new year!!!!

I have the Penney's version of the bullet, and we make fruit/protein smoothies with it. It's great. And we just lay around feeling exhausted, too. And watched - I can't remember what, but we really enjoyed it. We kept waiting for the neighbors to fire off all their fireworks they'd saved since July, and they never did. Shees - we coulda gone to bed!!
