The Comment Dual is Over.

*I want to publicly admit that Laura Tomlinson won the Comment War. She received far more comments than I did, even after Caleb got all his Medical School class to leave fake comments. Thanks to all who joined in.*

So on to actual Butts' News....
Last Friday night was really fun. We attended a big bonfire in honor of A. Lott's 21st birthday out at the Marbut Estates. I want it noted that I really did want to take pictures to post on the blog, but I'm not breaking out the D60 in sub-zero weather, and Caleb wouldn't let me take his dig. camera either. Thus, no photos to post here. I promise to get better about that.

Saturday was started at ITT at 8 am and then at 2 pm I went to job #2 at David's. We had to stay until 9 pm straightening the store which was a huge bummer because Sean and Laura Townsend were staying with us that night and I made them wait to eat dinner with us, so I'm sure they were starving. FYI: Sean had an interview for PA School and we really want the Townsends to join us in Mobile!!!

For dinner, we went to Los Casadores (duh) and quickly realized we have successfully become Regulars, which has always been a dream of mine. I tried to be a Regular at Arby's in HS, but they changed shifts too much. Well everyone at Los Casadores greeted us by name, asked me how work went, and why we were getting in so late. They also brought out our cheese dip before we even had to order it, and Lee, the guy who sings and plays guitar in the corner chatted with us a few minutes. I really ate this up.

Sunday- my right eye started giving me problems but I made it through the day at DB.

Monday- made it through work at ITT despite a cough and right eye pains.

Tuesday- woke up for work, looked in the mirror and saw this:
I had Quasi Moto Eye.
It was freakish. Turns out I had an infection in my eyelid gland. Yuck. So I didn't work Tuesday and then my sinus infection kept me down for half a day yesterday. I'm getting through all day today and hoping this gunk clears up quickly! Being sick is no fun, even living with a student doctor.

I also have to say another bummer about the weekend was not being able to attend my friend Amanda's Baby Shower in Memphis. But I am dying to see little Kate when she makes her debut! I'm really proud of my baby gift and Heather is going to send me a picture because, ugh, I forgot to take one. Anyway, I made a baby blanket out of the Bridesmaid Dress I wore in their wedding. All the stitching is pretty zizagged, but I tried and I'm proud of my so-so seamstress abilities. I'll put a pic when I get it to show off.

Have a great day everyone and look out for Eyelid Gland Infecting Bacteria!
