Wordless Wednesday From the Recovery Room

10.13.10

That’s my bedroom….and it’s wordless (from me at least)

I intended to do a quick update last night, but Percocet is a crazy drug. I am going through a cycle of discomfort, then pain, then trying to eat a little something so that I can take Percocet and then being in a Percocet-induced stupor for several hours. It gives me some crazy daydreams and real dreams. Last night, I daydreamed an idea for an Office episode. I know, strange. 
Dwight starts a blog about beet farming and is all excited about it though no one reads it. So, Jim starts leaving comments and leaves hundreds of them. Dwight is excited at first and then realizes he’s being mocked. Jim says he’ll stop. Then, Jim and Pam hijack the blog entirely using some totally predictable Dwight password and actually put on some interesting posts that draw readers. Real comments start appearing as people are drawn to the blog, and Dwight gets mad and then deletes the blog entirely. Sounds like some good material to me. Maybe the writers there take Percocet.
Surgery went well so the doctor said, despite a tough time waking up from anesthesia (I was in a panic for some reason). I now have a 1/4 cup of fat from my belly in my vocal cords. Odd. With that 1/4 cup, I feel like my throat is very very small. So, I had what was like an asthma attack in the hospital. Despite all my oxygen numbers being good, I felt like I couldn’t breathe. So scary. 
So, for now, I lay in bed with a nice-sized cut in my neck and a full girdle on my belly. Definitely no skinny jeans this week. 
Don’t forget to enter the giveaway, my way of getting lots of comments, business for Jiayin Designs, and We Are Grafted In ideas to keep me busy over the next few days.

A Pick-Me-Up Giveaway

10.12.10

I love giveaways. I love entering them, and I love winning them. And, I love hosting them. I love giving something to someone just for fun or for some purpose–like some free advertising for something cool.

So, since I am going to need a pick-me-up myself this week, I’m hosting a giveaway. The winner will receive their choice of one of the following–a custom charm from Jiayin Designs (up to a $50 value, may I personally tell you how beautiful these are? Love them! Okay, I’m biased, but they seriously are super cool) or a neat Ethiopian-themed charm and magnet set that I won in a giveaway elsewhere and that I thought might be fun for a family with a little one from Ethiopia joining their family.

These are just some examples of the charms. Check out the custom word charms here and the custom name charms here.

Here’s how you can enter:
1. Go to Jiayin Designs and take a look around. Leave a comment here sharing which item you like best.
2. Go to We Are Grafted In–the adoption site Mark and I are administrators for–and take a look around. Leave a comment there responding to any of the posts. There are some good ones, so don’t rush. I am so blessed by the articles posted there. You won’t get any bonus entries for checking out the forum. But, I do want to point out that there is a forum there with some amazing members, a community of folks really worth being a part of.
3. Leave a comment here with a topic you’d like addressed in an article posted on We Are Grafted In. I have so enjoyed finding pieces to post there, but they have been ones that have touched me. I want to know what readers are most interested in reading. Feel free to make suggestions of specific authors who you think would fit the site well.
4. Blog about this giveaway, Jiayin Designs, and/or We Are Grafted In for an entry.
5. Add a link to Jiayin Designs and/or We Are Grafted In in your facebook status to get the word out for another entry.
6. Send me flowers or send Mark a gold medal for 5 entries. (Kidding. Don’t do this. Our 2 silly cats would probably eat the flowers and then promptly throw them up, creating even more work for my poor dear husband this week.)

So, that’s 5 possible ways to enter. Do one, or do all 5. Up to you!

I’ll let people enter up until Tuesday night the 19th. We’ll pick a winner on the 20th, assuming all are well and I don’t have carpal tunnel from “talking” too much this week.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
