I simply could not make this stuff up if I tried… and
because of this… I know that “The Secret”
That asinine book I’ve been reading is totally full of it.
So on Thursday, AKA Thanksgiving Day, my husband cooked the
turkey. It’s his thing, he loves to do
it, I don’t… and that’s that. He started
cooking the turkey early in the morning.
Around 3:00pm I notice that the light in the oven is off.
Note: at this time the turkey temperature is 160*’s and it
needs to get to 160*.
I look up to turn the stove light on, and the whole display
panel is off… indicating that the power is out. Initially I thought we blew a fuse. I ran to the fuse box… we did not blow a
fuse. The oven, just the oven, as the
stove top still was working called it quits.
I believe it belted out something to the effect of… “and Im
spent!!!!!!!!!”
All of our sides were cooked/warmed on the grill…. Along with
the pumpkin bread pudding I had prepped for dessert.
You know, because life simply has been too easy on us. Now lets add this to the mix.
Dinner was a success, although the universe is truly trying
to sabotage me. ( I stick two middle fingers up to the sky!!!! Take that sucka’s!!!!!!)
We ended up going and getting a new stove on Sunday evening.
The sales guy laughed while he informed
us that we got to Sears exactly one hour before the sale ended.
Im not quite sure whether I am winning or losing these
days.
I still have a giant hole in my stomach. The pictures don’t do it much justice. I am about 5 weeks past surgery. This is
insanity. The doctors don’t seem to care
that there is a HOLE IN MY STOMACH! I
kind of liked my stomach sans hole.
This Lupron is sucking the freaking life out of me. Actually, I am not sure if it’s the Lurpon or
this fucking “journey” that is sucking the life out of me. I feel like I am in the video game The Oregon
Trail. This FET had better work, if not…
I do not have it in me to do this again. I think
if it doesn’t work, it’s game over.
PS. I DVR those shows... Dateline mysteries. The most recent one that recorded....
The guy who helped write The Secret, or develop the philosophy was the same guy that accidentally killed the people in the sweat lodge in Arizona. According to the principles of The Secret, he is a murderer. I did not know this.
Yikes...that's nutso that you still have a hole in yo belly! I hope that it heals soon! I too still have a hole in my belly...super slow to heal (surgery was 26 days ago). Here's to hoping we both heal soon!
ReplyDeleteHoles are not cool! However together, we would make a really cool new drinking game alternative to beer pong!
DeleteOMG - that's the same guy? That guy is nuts! That's it. Put the book down.
ReplyDeleteI know, right! I think the universe was telling me not to listen to that guy!
DeleteA.) Now I'm going to have to catch up on the belly hole story
ReplyDeleteB.) Never read a book whose title is overly ironic
C.) Lupron has side effects. Big ones? Of course it does. I will be taking it soon.
Best of luck and YAY for no food poisoning!
Ill catch you up... :)
DeleteA) the hole is what happens when you are allergic to surgical glue. It's at the incision of my laproscopic surgery.
B) good advice... I was desperately seeking answers.
C)typically I haven't noticed major side effects to any of these meds. This go around im exhausted. It's likely just me.
Also the turkey did finally get to 165. Clearly I'm losing my mind when I wrote 160 twice.
DeleteOuch. I Can't believe that you still have that gash in your stomach. It looks so painful. :( I can't believe that there is nothing that they can do to speed up the healing process. WTF?! Also, that pumpkin bread pudding sounds totally yum. Where did you get the recipe??
ReplyDeleteLuckily, the hole does not hurt. It just makes me want to throw up a little in my mouth. I agree... Wtf!!!! Shoot me an email and I'll send you the recipe. I got it on a sugar advertisement in a magazine. I substituted sugar for toxic splenda.
DeleteI think they should do a remake of the Oregon Trail for the Wii or Xbox. I would buy it.

You are in luck... there is a Wii Oregon Trail game available for sale.
DeleteThe picture doesn't do it justice? I think it looks incredibly painful, so I am glad to hear it's not really.
ReplyDeleteI can't IMAGINE if the oven went out while I was cooking Thanksgiving dinner! We don't own a grill so we would have totally been screwed.
And I absolutely agree with returntogobaby.com about a remake of the Oregon Trail. I loved that game when I was a kid. I don't know if that means I was normal, or a nerd. Either way, I don't really care. I loved it! lol

Deletelooks very similar to the holes i had post lap. i wish i had pictures to share with you but it was years before i started blogging and therefore i didn't take any. mine took about a year to heal and in the process were responsible for me contracting impetigo and folliculitis. the impetigo cleared up but after multiple rounds of antibiotics as well as applying a layer of antibiotic ointment and wearing wet clothes over the area while sleeping for a week, it looks like i will be dealing with folliculitis for the long haul (it's been about ten years since my surgery). folliculitis is a form of staph and as i'm sure you know, staph is often resistant to antibiotics. i hope, for your sake, that this is not your fate, and before i totally freak you out, let me just say, it's unlikely that it will be. good luck!
ReplyDeleteoh, i almost forgot, i was on lupron for three months after my second lap, i had hot flashes, night sweats (like, i would wake up and feel as though i just got out of the shower) and i couldn't sleep past 4 or 5am, regardless of how late i stayed up the night before, i can't WAIT for menopause!
ReplyDeletelast, but certainly not least, i DID get pregnant after my 2nd iui post lap (my first lap was due to an ectopic pregnancy and i wasn't trying to get pregnant afterwards), so don't lose hope!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Of course the oven picks a holiday to stop working. I love Dateline mysteries but often forget to record them (this is why I need a DVR) - I just watched the sweat lodge thing so that little tidbit was very interesting!
ReplyDeleteVisiting from ICLW.
At least your dinner went well in the end. Pumpkin bread pudding sounds delicious, I love bread pudding!!
