i had the surgery on thursday. ask me again in a week, but at this point i never would have chosen the procedure if i'd known it was going to be this painful. i feel like i've had a good pounding in the face by a very large man with brass knuckles, a scent of garlic and a name like vinny. my poor nose hurts (as do the rest of my sinuses) and is swollen to nearly twice it's size. this too shall pass?

i haven't gotten much scrapping done, but i manage to finish all of my c2p layouts before the deadline (well one was a little late...) sweet bug, let's go fly a kit, bubble beard, and swimsuit models were done with the delicious march kit; fancy pants daily grind papers and embellishments. while i really like most of amy's kits and always have fun working with them, this one is definitely in my top three. :)

although i've been out of it (i had a panic attack coming down from the anesthesia and that in and of itself was scary, and then vicodin is just not good to me), evie was very excited coming home from her ballet class today--they got to try on their costumes for the upcoming spring recital. i must have missed the day miss liz showed the pictures, but that'll be a nice surprise. i believe they will be blue and lavendar butterflies :) she was also told that she needs to practice at home, so we'll have to work on that. evie's not so good with independent activity. like me, she prefers to be with other people. :) school has been going very well for her--this year has been amazing to me. she's READING! and getting so good at spelling and sounding things out!

andy's about the same. they lost someone at work and so he's been busier than usual, having to take customer support calls. he'd rather program but is glad that this is spurring the new sales guy to help out with the phones more.

i've started a new project for my sister--she gave me a shoebox full of pictures that i'm scrapping for her. don't really know why i've taken on another project when i have many many many shoeboxes full of photos, myself, except that i'm no good at saying no, especially when it's from someone i love and also a sincere compliment. :) so the "too much party" and two senior prom layouts are for her.
