Thursday Thoughts

This week, I'm doing the linkup that Jen hosts over at Ramblings of a Suburban Mom.

- Stella has been sick for the past week.  Long story short, she stopped eating her food, and nearly $2,000 in vet bills later, she got spayed and spent all of Christmas Eve in the hospital.  She's home now, on bed rest for a week, and enjoying being hand fed and fussed over constantly.

- J ruined the surprise of one of his Christmas gifts this year.  Ten days before Christmas he sends me a text saying he was about to order himself a rice cooker.  Well, one of the first gifts I had actually bought him was a rice cooker/vegetable steamer so I kind of went off.  Needless to say, he was thrilled to unwrap it but totally not shocked.

- Because of the whole ordeal with Stella, J and I didn't get to go up north to his or my family's Christmas.  Now I need to figure out how to get everyone their gifts so I don't have them hanging out in my living room for several months.

- Since we couldn't go up to spend Christmas with our families, we Skyped each house yesterday.  J's mom took a while to figure it all out on her iphone since there was no one up there to help her set it up, but it all worked out.  My uncle set it up for my grandmother, who was mortified once she realized I could see her since she didn't have her hair done. ;)

- It's J's birthday this weekend!  Since Stella requires supervision and medication so frequently, we can't go out and adventure all day, but I told him he could decide what we do at the house and we could get take-out of his choice.  Honestly, I'm just ready to give him his gifts.

I feel like I had more thoughts when I started this, but my brain is too mushy to remember it all.  Hope you all are having a fantastic day! <3
