Sthill, er, still sore. But only on one side, so chewing should be somewhat more bearable today. It was so painful yesterday to eat, swallow, even talk, so that I didn’t do much of any of these. I was thinking how during this time I wouldn’t want to speak- if I had to say something, [...]

The snow, and a sick Noah had us cooped up today, and we wanted to watch a movie. Where can a girl watch a good Christmas flick? Apparently, not on cable this year. Now, if I was on top of things (which I rarely am), I would have tuned in for (and had my mom [...]
