Broken

So after seeing the Urgent care and orthopedic surgeon and MRI.  We went from thinking my meniscus was torn to finding out that it's actually the cartilage on the back of my kneecap that is torn.

With how it's catching and hurts to straighten and walk on, the doctor recommends surgery.
Surgery is set for next week, so I have to finish getting all the stuff together to get the time off from work.
Not excited. I'll just be happy to have it over with and be able to walk again.

Looks like Christmas and the new year will probably be spent at home.


Also, for some reason my internet is acting up. My router seems to be having issues with wireless. I already talked to them the other day telling them it's slow but they say that it's fine. Ugh. Since then my computer doesn't automatically connect to to the internet (even though it's set up to).

The area we live in doesn't seem to like the cell service and so we have to connect to wifi calling. With the wifi acting up, about 5-10 mins after talking the person I'm talking to will start having trouble hearing me. It will either entirely cut me out or get really spotty but I can still hear them just fine.

We might have to either change phone companies, get a new router or change internet company.

ARrrrrggghhh! This is really aggravating.  >:[

West Fest Concert

The only reason we went was because Z found out that Alex Boye was going to be having a free outdoor concert. Z was pretty excited.

Alex Boye was really fun.
Super down to earth and easy going.
The fireworks started in the middle of one of the songs he was doing and he had his guys slowly change the beat and then started singing Fireworks by Katy Perry.
Then he started going around the audience to people and having them sing with him.
It was pretty much all girls that would sing. He wanted a guy to get up and sing.
These girls by us volunteered their friend. He ran away, but Alex chased him around the crowd and through the pavilion that was by the stage. He still couldn't get him to sing.

I think he liked having the little kids sing with him the most. He'd make funny noises and have them repeat it back. He does have a few kids that are about the same age, so that could be why.

He interacted with the crowd almost the entire time. He told us to watch the fireworks and not him because the city had paid a lot of money for the display. He even asked if we wanted him to keep singing or to "just shut up for a bit."  He was relieved that everyone told him to keep going. Hahaha.

Before we left (the show started at 9:30 and we stayed until like 11) he did a song from this movie that is coming out. The song was about boy scouts. He had all the guys (that wanted to) that had been a boy scout or eagle scout come up to the stage to learn the dance that goes with the song. I wanted them to, but little brother and Z didn't want to go up.

The song he did right as we were going to go (but I had to stay) was by none other than... MJ! You know, cuz they don't really care about us. :P   Ya'll know how much I love my MJ. Mm-hmm... ^_^
Say what you want, but he was an amazing artist. and dancer. I admit, he was a little... weird. But he's still awesome.

Sidetracked! Haha.

Anyway, Alex Boye.  He was mostly singing in English. He did a few songs in other languages. Like one song is from Haiti.

I went and got Z a cd which also has a dvd with it. He was happy.

That's pretty much all we did at West Fest. The concert and the fireworks. Before the concert we wandered around the food tents but everything that sounded good had really long lines. :(

Work Benefits and Stuff

Finally got car stuff back to us for the destroyed car! Well, most of it. I think we are waiting on one more thing. Then we can finally get that finish getting that car in the past. Yay!

I also got signed up for medical benefits through my work. Z gets his medical stuff covered by the VA (and sometimes it's rediculous! but he has it so he figures he might as well use it.) and dental and vision we are keeping through his work. Medical is a little cheaper through my work, so I've got that as of today...

All this grown-up stuff can hurt your head. So many little details to go over. All well.

Ciao for now, lovelies!

Healthy Time!

I really need to get in shape. I go up a flight of stairs and I'm dead! :[
I don't have enough energy to play with my nieces/younger cousins for very long.
I feel worn and overweight and... Ugh.
(I might not look it, but it's not very good..)

So I am possibly going to be trying to do healthy foods and do some form of exercise before work in the mornings. I am too tired or have too much going on after work to really do much.

We have been horrible about eating healthy. We mostly eat junk because we are too lazy to make something or to thaw out the meat or whatever we want to make.

Sadly, that also means I have to figure out healthier food to take to work that is easy to make/transport/warm.  Being I only get 15 min breaks every few hours, I kinda have only that much time to heat anything up.

I need awesome food ideas!

I also wouldn't mind good morning exercise ideas.  My body is not very flexible, especially in the morning (is anybody's??).  So I have to do things that I can handle at this point.

I figure, it can't hurt and it will definitely help with my bad knees and neck. (It makes me feel old! -_-)
Maybe putting it out there will help motivate me to be better about stuffs...?

Comment below with any tips/recipes/exercises you have for me! Things that worked for you... even things that really didn't help you would be helpful!  Even links to cool blogs related topic(s)?

Maybe I'll actually try that detox stuff in the future, too?

Ciao for now!

Got Cold?

Somehow I have caught a cold. It started with a sore throat yesterday and after taking medicine for that it seemed to get better. However, somewhere between taking the medicine and my throat feeling better, I start getting a headache and a cold.

Now that my throat feels basically fine again, I feel like my sinuses are all stuffy.  I probably have a fever, as well.  :(  I'll have to go check on that once the hubby has decided to stop hogging to bathroom. . . he thinks he wants to take a shower or something.

It's not fun. Not fun at all.

I'm hoping that I feel better tomorrow.  I start working full time tomorrow!

I'm not particularly excited about spending twice as much time at work, but at least the extra $$ will be nice... right?


I've listed a bunch of dresses and plan on making a bunch of baby booties to list.  For some reason baby clothes are really fun to make. They're tiny and super cute! And lots quicker to make than adult stuff. (Depending on what it is.)


Well, I am off to annoy my husband a little before bed.

Dealership Boredom

I'm almost afraid to go in there again...
I got my car last week and every time I've gone into the dealership, I've ended up sitting there for at least 3 hours. What is up with that?

Today it was to get the things fixed that they said they would fix (ie the front left low beam, the 3rd break light and the latch on the hood).

I got there probably around 1:30.  I left at almost 5:20. Of course, my phone died and my charger was in the car..and I didn't have a wall charger with me. Just the car charger. I had some yarn with me... in the car. Stupid me thought it wouldn't take more than an hour. Boy, was I wrong!

I watched some Leonard Nimoy/Zachary Quinto associated stuffs.  If you haven't seen the commercial and you are even slightly geeky, you absolutely must watch this ad! I laugh every time.

I'm pretty sure the thing that took the longest was the break light.  So many people came and went while I sat there dying from boredom.  When they finally came to get me they told me that it wasn't just that the bulbs had died. They had to replace the whole light fixture thingy. Being it was a Honda dealership and I got a Chevrolet (used car, baby!) they had to go get the parts. At least the parts were only down the street a little.

This is how I wasted my day. There were things I would have liked to have done. I'm glad it was nothing important. We were going to go on Monday, but hubby's toothache took priority.

He was using oragel and this close to what I'm sure woulda/coulda ended up an overdose on ibuprophen. He has this problem where his body doesn't respond to pain meds, and if it does he has to take a lot or really strong medicine.

When he called them, the soonest they could get him in was 2 weeks from today. However, somebody cancelled so he got in that day! Yay!

When they shot him up so they could give him a root canal they had to give him about 4 shots. The assistant told him that he was eating through the numbing stuff like it was candy. They couldn't finish the procedure because the nerve was "too hot" and got far enough to close him up. They gave him lots of antibiotics and pain meds and scheduled him to come in again in 2 weeks. Hopefully, the infection and stuff will be all healed up by then and they can finish him.

Poor guy. He has problems (like his shoulder is messed up... 4 shoulder surgeries can do that) but pain meds don't do crap for him. He takes them, but it doesn't ease very much --if any-- of the pain.  :(

He said that the stuff they gave him this time actually seems to be working!  Although, it makes him sleepy and he loses his appetite.

Well, that is my week thus far. How is your's?

Sore Sunday

Yesterday was really fun. Hubby and I spent the weekend with his family. We played paintball (which is fun, but you get sore really quick. I have a lovely bruise on my thigh from one shot.). Then we went to lunch and I got to meet hubby's sibling's grandparents (still his grandparents, i suppose. just not biologically).

We went and walked around the mall and I got a lovely paint-splatter lanyard which I will be putting my work badge on.

I got a pedicure, which was great! I should do it more often...Mmmm.... 0:)

Today, I had a very hard time walking. Thighs are sooo sore!  I went and soaked for a bit. It helped a little but doing anything makes my legs die a little more. Funny thing is, it's just my quads. Hamstrings are fine. It's probably because I was squatting behind cover most of the time. Not much stretching of the hammis...

We then ran around with my nieces at the little park at my in-law's apartment complex.
They had fun, but it didn't do much for us older people. I'm not even that old and I have no energy! Gah!

All this soreness just proves that I am horrible and need to exercise more!  My arms hurt, but not as much. Probably because I don't need to use them as much.

What fun and exciting things did you do this weekend?

Out Another Car

We got in an accident yesterday. Now we don't have any cars!

We were going to get gas and then planning on going to see my inlaws. Needless to say, we didn't go. Instead we waited for the police (who actually showed up pretty fast. last time it took about 3 hours) and then fill out witness reports. We tried to get a rental car, but for some reason full coverage doesn't cover the rental. You have to pay extra for that.

We went to get the rental the insurance company told us was being held, but found out there is an extra $200 deposit on top of what it was already going to be to use it for a week. We don't have the extra money. We tried to use another company today that is a lower price, but the only location we could go to on a Sunday is at the airport. They do not accept debit cards."It's airport policy to only accept credit cards for local customers, but if we had a flight confirmation we could use the debit."

We don't have a credit card. The closest is out visa/mastercard debit cards.
Looks like we have to rely on my parents until we can find a car. Unfortunately, hubby works at 4am. He is going back to the regular non-swing shift schedule and we don't have to worry about a ton of back-and-forth commuting.

I hope we get a good car soon.

The car looks like it got it's jaw broken off.

Broken cars and frustration...

Good Things

The Oldsmobile is sold and I do not have to worry about so many things...
Examples:
-Rain.  The windshield would leak! Seriously, if it rained more than just a few drops, the inside of the roof would get damp. Right over both of the visors... or over the rearview mirror. It depends on what mood the car was in that day. Really. If it rained hard, it would drip. I would have to lay a blanket over the steering wheel or else the seat would be wet when I would climb in the car.

-Windows. You can not roll the windows down. The driver's window was stuck. I was just happy it was up. The winter after I got it, the motor broke and the window got stuck down! It was so cold driving to work. Like 2 coats, gloves, a scarf, a ski mask and the heater on full blast kind of cold. The other windows were starting to do the same thing, so I wouldn't let anyone touch the little controllers for them. No sir.

-Freeway.  I suppose you could also say long distance? If you went 60mph the car would shake. It really hated going over the speed limit on Bangerter. We usually took Legacy instead of I-15 (slower speeds and fewer cars).  We only dared go as far as Layton because we didn't want to be breaking down and stranded where we didn't know anybody. In Layton and Bountiful we at least have family.

-The ac and the heater were basically dead. They would finally be working by the time you were parked at your destination... and even then it was iffy.

-The suspension on one of the tires was about to give out, so I dodged that $300 bullet, too.

-The belts didn't seem to like to last long.  :/

Don't get me wrong. For the year and a half we had it, it was a good little 1st car.  It was just getting old and the plastic was getting brittle and not looking too pretty on the inside.

Although, I've seen some that I felt I would need to go get a shot after riding in it. We all know how deathly afraid of needles I am... LIke hyperventilate and have a panic attack and the thought of getting a shot kind of afraid. I know. I'm terrible. I try to get over it, but I can't. I have no idea how.  Hubby jokes that he's going to take me to get a tattoo to get my fears to magically vanish. I really think that would not help in the slightest. That poor tattooer (artist? tattist?) would have the hardest time. I would be the worst ever client.  I could only imagine what would happen...

Good news is, we got approved for a car loan and we are looking for a good car. I'm thinking a wagon or a hatchback or a sedan. Something not little, but not too big. Something we can carry a table in if we bought one. Not to sound Goldie Locks or anything, but I want it just right.  :]



My computer should be all better by tomorrow!  We ordered a new battery and a new charger. The battery came today and the charger should be here tomorrow. We are pretty sure that is what was wrong with it. I sure hope so.



All we have to do now is get the washing machine fixed and then we have the 3 problems fixed!!! That and find the just-right car.  Then things will be golden! (hehe)   That is, until something else decides to go wrong.  Cross my fingers that that doesn't happen for a good long while.


Love, cars and fixed computers....
Meagan.  :]

All Of The Things Are Breaking!

Everything around here has decided to start dying!! Ok, not everything.... yet.

The washing machine, the car and my laptop all have. I really hope nothing else decides to go next. It would be appreciated...

We are getting rid of ye olde cutlass cierra and working with just one car again. Difficult.

I cleaned out the car and found my husband's long lost original wedding ring. I also found a cell phone. Methinks it is my seester's that she lost. Good goin' sis. :P *loves*

Right now I am making one of my favorite foods to make lately.. Super easy and relatively fast.

Chili!

And , no. Not from a can.  From many cans! LoL  :)

You get a can of diced tomatoes, a can of either kidney or pinto beans, a pound of hamberger and some spices.

If you get a package of McCormick chili seasonings it will give you the recipe.
You could do any spices you want, though.

First, brown the meat. Drain the grease once its done. Dump in the spices, the tomatoes and the beans (do not drain the beans and the tomatoes. dump the juices in the pot too!)

Bring the heat up to a boil. Once it starts bubbling, cover it and bring the heat down to a low temp. Let it simmer for about 10min. (You can go longer if you like.)

Dish it up with cheese or sour cream or cornbread or whatever floats your boat!

M-mmm... I love making this stuff.

Stupid Car Died. . . Again.

Noo!  My car decided to die this morning on my way to work...

I'm driving along and I notice it smells weird.  My temperature gauge is ALL the way to RED.  Not just touching red... it's ALL THE WAY!   

See??
(Don't worry, I'm parked.)

 I pull over and park the car. I text my husband (who is at work) that the car is freaking out. I call work to tell them I'm not going to make it in.  I call the mechanic and tell him what's going on. He tells me to wait about half an hour to an hour for the gauge to get out of the red before driving anywhere... or call a tow truck. About an hour later, the temp gauge is still in the same place. We call the insurance company, who calls the towing company.  I wait until about 9:30, when the tow truck driver calls and says he doesn't see me. I'm on the side street. Right by the main road. He had pulled into the parking lot of the town homes next to where I was parked. *sigh*  He finds me and he gets the car hooked up to the truck.  

Once I've been dropped off at the mechanic's and the car is unhooked from the truck, I drop the keys off and get a ride home. It was freezing.  Today I did not want to walk.  (They usually offer to give me a lift, but being they aren't far from home, I just walk.)

I hang out at home, wondering what is wrong with the car and feeling bummed.  

Around 3 o' clock, the mechanic calls and tells me he would rather not be calling me.  The car is super dead. 
Ugh...  

The intake manifold broke. It caused antifreeze to mix with the oil. The engine sounds ok right now but they don't know how much damage had really been done to the engine. That also made the radiator hoses soft, so they will need to be replaced in the near future, as well. Everything to fix it will end up costing upwards of $1000.  

Not to mention the $300 is will cost when the problem with one of the tires (I believe he said that the shocks were wearing out on one tire?) finally decides to happen. 

Considering the trade in value of the car is maybe $950 in good condition, $700 in fair condition. About $1200 for the private party value in fair condition.... Basically, it's not really worth sinking more moolah into this car.  Unfortunately, I think it's time to find a new car.  

Arrrggghhhh!  (Very angry pirate, I know.)

I'm still making payments on the car for other things we have had to fix!  The driver's window went out in the middle of the winter before last and had to get a new motor to keep the window up. The serpentine belt went out when we were completely broke. That was not terribly long after getting the window fixed. 

If we had money, that car likes to make sure that it doesn't stay that way for long. There are other things I would rather be focusing on.

Looks like we get to go do the dreaded car shopping thing again...

Anybody want to go buy me a new car?   ( -_-)

Not a devil car.  I want working windows (they go up and down and do not leak!). Cup holders. This new car must not be a clown car. I hate driving in little cars. It scares me.

Yeah. If you could just do that for me, that would be great. ~Thanks 

Ch-ch-changes!

I've decided to change the look of this blog a bit. Ok, maybe a lot.  If you remember what it looked like before, it's very different now.

I have also started up a separate blog for my shop. I will start posting that stuff there and then anything else I feel like talking about on this one!
See the side or my profile for the link to that blog. :]

The other day hubby and I decided to take a very spur-of-the-moment trip to Park City after he got done playing a few games of bball with a friend of his and that friend's buddies.

I even got a compliment on my lovely hand-doodled shoes I colored on forever ago.

Aren't they so purty...

It was one of the guys that worked at the first store we walked into. It just so happened to be a shoe store. Haha!  Said guy asked if I had colored them. He then told me he might have to hire me to color on some shoes for him.  (I had to go get more shoes later to color on... for myself. I have been wanting to for a long time.)

We had fun window shopping and being spontaneous.

We came back down to the valley after we had wandered our fill (and had even stopped to get some pretzel bites!) of Park City.

We got some much-needed hair cuts (my hair gets so thick and heavy! With a bad neck, I have to thin it every time I get it cut) and got my thick-framed glasses fixed. They were so uncomfortable that I couldn't wear them.  So I didn't... for almost a year! I've just been bad and not taking them to get adjusted.

The Shop Is Open!

I finally got the shop open!  Just today!  I have a few listings up. Eight, to be exact.  I need to take a few more pictures and get them uploaded for other items.  I also need to talk to miss Jena about the items she took and see if she has finished with them yet.  I'm sure it will take her a little while to get the photos edited...

I am thinking about listing some bacon ornaments/bookmarks.  I get the feeling people will like them.  I don't get the bacon obsession...

Any suggestions?  If you would like to check out the shop, go to

Etsy!

I haven't posted in almost 2 months!

I've been trying to figure out all the legal/tax stuff for Etsy and it's a little confusing.
I've read that I don't need to get an EIN (employer id number) but it's better if I do.
Then that I have to get a business license. Or not.
Then that I need all this other stuff.... maybe?

Some say get the EIN, state tax id and business license just in case.
I found a forum/team for Utah "Etsians" and they say they were told they wouldn't need all this stuff, but then when it came time to file taxes, they got in trouble and threatened with fines!  Some can be up to $15,000!
Better safe than sorry, I suppose.

At least the EIN is free. The license is like $20~ .
I have to find out about the city I live in and if they require certain things.  A lot of that has to do with if I sell anything to anyone that also resides in Utah. Some in that forum joked that you shouldn't sell to people in Utah because it's such a hassle and there are technicalities...

Some day I'll have it worked out. I'm hoping soon.  I want to get my EIN so I don't have to give my SSN out to everybody... That just seems like it could cause even more troubles for me. :/

I already have the store name and everything signed up for Etsy. I just have to list stuff and post pictures. I want to figure out the shipping profiles and get that attached to my account. I think after that, I will be golden! Then the fun can begin!!

Taxes and legal stuff.... bleh!
Until next time...

crochet football applique pattern

just wrote this up this morning!

(this hat is a newborn size, so don't worry if you think your ball
turns out a little small.. just use a larger hook!)

if there are any questions.. let me know!
use any size hook you want. i used an H  hook.

abbreviations:
ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
sc = single crochet
hdc = half doulbe crochet
dc = double crochet
tr = triple crochet
sp(s) = space(s)
st(s) = stitch(es)
FO = finish off

ch10, sc in 2nd ch from hook.
one st in each of the next few sts as follows...
hdc, dc, tr, tr, tr, dc, hdc,sc.
ch 2. now working up the other side...
sc, hdc, dc, tr, tr, tr, dc, hdc, sc.
ch 2 and sl st in the very first sc. ch 1.
now you will sc around. the only ones you will do differently would be in the tops of the 1st and 3rd tr on both sides. you will do 2sc in each of those 4 sps.
also in the ch2 sps on the points of the football, you will (2sc, ch1, 2sc).
sl st into the very first st of this round to join and then FO.
now with another color you will stitch the football's stitches on.

happy crocheting!

Starting Out The New Year

So far this year hasn't been super eventful.  I wrote out some new patterns. I'm in the process of typing them up and making them look all pretty.   (^_^)

Hubby caught the flu last week and is finally all better. Yay!  I also am very happy that I didn't catch it from him. Double yay!!

I found a new app for my phone that is called Noom. It's a weight loss / get healthy type app.  I have gotten soo out of shape, that it isn't funny!  I plan on getting back down to my "healthy" weight and the plan it has set up for me (which is on easy mode) should get me there by Christmas.  Literally.  The date they set for me is 12/25/13. It seems simple enough and not too much of a hassle.  I just hate having to count calories and mark down all this stuff day after day after day.  With this I just scan the bar code or type in what I have eaten. Mark if I did any exercising and then it makes my phone it's own little pedometer! I just have to turn it on and put it in my pocket.  If I want it to stop counting step, I push pause. Easy, right?!  I sure hope so. I'm even having hubby try it out, being he keeps telling me he wants to get closer to his Army days. Not exactly like back then, but healthy and toned. I'm cool with that.


Hubby and I finally used some movie tickets we got from my Christmas work party of 2011 (they were good until the end of this year) and just hadn't been to a megaplex with a movie that we wanted to see AND the tickets could be used. Finally did. We saw Django with Jamie Foxx. It was really good... other than all the blood.  You can't really find a Quentin Tarantino movie that doesn't have and exaggerated amount of blood and spraying in it, though.  Some parts of it were really funny.  There is one part where this little town has the whole townsfolk out in the street because the sheriff just got shot (he was really this outlaw going by a new name and the bounty hunters got him).  There is one towns person that looked to me like she might be one of the prostitutes, and she had a crutch and a really big cast on her ankle/foot/leg.  Everyone in the town starts running away and she's just hobbling away as fast as she could. I have no idea why this was so funny to me, but it just seemed really odd.

As a whole, I liked the story.  I just wish it didn't have so much blood. I would definitely not recommend this movie to my mom, but my dad might like it.


The last few nights after hubby went to sleep, I stayed up and watched random documentaries that I found on netflix.

One was about the "Silver Pharaoh."  He was around not long after king Tut was. He also ruled at the beginning of a time that is referred to as Egypt's dark ages. Dark ages because they don't know a whole lot about that era. His tomb was one of the only tombs they have found that was intact when it was found (i.e. no tomb robbers or other outside forces messed with it!).  It was found around the beginning of WWII, which is why it isn't as well known as Tut's. People were much more preoccupied with Hitler.  He is the "Silver Pharaoh" because his is the only sarcophagus that was made of silver and not gold. Very odd.
I would totally say check this one out!

Another was narrated by Mr. Spock himself and was about human sacrifice and the religions that practiced it. They cover placed from India to England to Mexico and the Aztecs.

Last night was one about King Herod the Great.  I'm sure you know who he is!  Think Herod that was the king when Jesus was born. This one talked about how he was a really amazing architect and created rather beautiful buildings. They also say how he went kinda crazy near the end of his life and all his people hated him. They think they found his final resting place, but aren't completely sure. It was an interesting show, too.
