The Accidental Boilermaker

It's been one week since I got those pesky wisdom teeth out, but I am feel lots better. I made spaghetti and meatballs tonight for dinner - probably the most normal (and substantial) thing I've eaten all week. Last night Nate bought me a pot of beautiful yellow and orange mums! I didn't see them till I woke up this morning.

Other than getting to see my mom and Meredith, getting my wisdom teeth out was not fun. Nate took the day off from work on Friday and stayed home with me, so that was nice too. I did get to run a little this morning and that helped me feel better. Then I spent a good part of the morning and again in the afternoon, sleeping. I still can't chew anything and that's super annoying too. Here's some pictures of Penny because she always cheers me up.

I've stocked up on foods I can eat after I get my wisdom teeth out on Thursday.

I saw got to see Maroon 5 in concert last night in Indy with my mom. They were amazing! It was really fun to see the different types of people who came out for the concert - alot of older women (no offense to my mom). There were some cute teenie boppers in the row ahead of us who only knew Maroon 5 most recent songs. When they played something off of Songs about Jane they just looked at each other, shrugged, and then kept dancing. That made me feel like a real fan and also made me feel kind of old.

remember those red onions?

Pat and Paul came down for the weekend. They brought a desk for Nate, taught us a new card game, and took us out to eat. It was lots of fun. I tried making spritz cookies for when they got in Friday night. The first batch turned out really well. The second batch not so much. The dough and cookie sheet got too warm. I guess that's why they are more a Christmas time treat. The second batch had a more tie-dye look because I had to keep putting the dough back in the cookie press. Tons of tomatoes! Not enough for pasta sauce yet though. I picked the rest of my red onions today.

Nate and I canned green beans last night. It was quite the process but it was fun. Heating up jars and lids Green beans ready to be cooked Jars lined up in the pressure canner The final product
