Jul. 8th, 2007 09:01 pmJaw is less puffy but still a bit sore to touch. Stitches are annoying me. They come out on Wednesday noontime. I expect that will sting a bit.
Had a nice visit with the birthday girl and the rest of the family today including some funny stuff which won't translate very well here as it is a "have to be there" kind of thing. Let's just say there *is* a difference between a beaver and a horse and cakes should not collapse on the table. I know it's cryptic but you'll just have to fill in the blanks.
One commercial that always makes me laugh is the Ikea one where the woman is running out of the store hollering 'START THE CAR!!! START THE CAR!!!!' as if she's just robbed a bank when in actual fact she's been shopping at Ikea but acting like she robbed the place with the prices being so cheap and all. She jumps in the car as hubby starts it and she raises her fist WOOOOOOOOOOO! It sounds stupid but it's actually quite reflective of how excited you can feel if you've got a really REALLY good sale or bargain. In our family, when that happens, you ring someone up or email them and exclaim OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY. The number of "oh boys" is indicative to how good a sale you got or that you've finally got something you've always wanted. My Nan used to do that and that's where we all picked it up from.
Finished another painting, this one was a commission. Laurie's Rick asked me to paint a view of his parents' cottage for their anniversary. I just added a couple of hanging baskets with red flowers so you'll have to imagine them there.
