Surgery a week from Monday.... April 7th... It is to get my hardware removed... Scheduled for a one-hour block to get these screws and plate taken out of my distal femur.  An uneventful surgery would be ideal.  My mom is coming up to sit with my gorgeous gf in the waiting room.  Praying for a fast recovery!

Nice day to be inside

- Two eggs
- Jello
- 2.5 whole deviled eggs with mayo
- Two cinnamon flax muffins with butter
- SF gelatin parfait

Seriously, I love eggs!  They are so incredibly versatile!  Last night, I made the gf some over-easy eggs and am just amazed at how healthy they are... and the many forms that they can take!  I've heard them called nature's perfectly packaged little protein and I could not agree more.

Still waiting to hear back from my doc on my pain meds.  Turns out, they are doing end-of-the year (in March?) drug screening so that is why I will have to go in.  I think they actually just make sure that the drug does show up in my system to make sure that I'm not just getting it Rx'd to me and selling it out on the street. 

We got a huge amount of nasty, heavy snow, so I'm just gonna wait 'til tomorrow to make the hike.  The highway I take is kind of known for being super bad in bad weather, so probably best to stay home and it's probably not ready yet anyway. 


Otherwise, work is busy and I'm just counting my blessings to be working from home in this treacherous Michigan winter.  How'd I get so lucky? :)

Eggies for breakfast

- Two eggs
- Two eggs
- Cinnamon flax muffin with butter
- Lotsa jello
- Deviled egg filling 

I've been making my eggies with 1/4 cup of heavy cream and lots of coconut oil. They are so rich and yummy this way.

Low carb menu

- Two eggs
- SF jello
- 2.5 (whole) deviled eggs with extra mayo
- Sausage quiche with mayo

This sausage quiche is awesome.  While I'm an egg girl, it's the girlfriend's go-to breakfast, most every day of the week.  Every time I eat some, I'm surprised at how good it is. :)

I called in my pain meds today and the receptionist told me that I had to go in to pick it up.  I'm assuming I will have to do a drug test or the rules have changed on it because they can usually just call it in.  It's about an hour-drive each way, but it's a gorgeous day for a drive.

Other than that, just getting some work done and re-organizing (and re-contact-papering the below-the-sink bathroom cabinet, which has been a huge undertaking).

Skinny jeans, awesome lil sister & Jillian Michaels!

 Friday's Low Carb Eats:
- Two eggs
- SF jello
- Three cinnamon flax muffins with lots of butter
- Tuna salad

Saturday's Low Carb Eats
- Two eggs
- Roasted chicken leg quarter (without the skin because I was unsure of any possible high carb offendors)*
- A thick slice of roast beef, about the size of a deck of cards*
- SF jello
- Tuna salad

*I enjoyed these at my Grandma's 90th birthday celebration. Ang & I sat with my grandma's friends and
they were so amazing.  Those older women really tell it like it is, especially my grandma's friends! I was proudly sporting my size 6 jeans and tall black leather boots and feeling cute.

Been sleeping a lot lately because me and the gf have been sickie bear with colds, plus my knee has been a little ouchie.  I think it is the weather because everybody we know seems sick. 

In fun news, I hung out with the little sister a few times last week!  She was home for Spring Break and "home" is with our dad, which is only an hour away.  I found a gorgeous bridesmaid dress.  I wasn't even going to try on any halter styles, but of course, my gf knows best! I tried it on and as soon as I came out, I felt pretty & confident and my gf immediately said, "That is the dress!" (and she was right!) 

We also discussed her Bachelorette party, which I'm throwing as part of my Maid-of-Honor duties.  I feel like we're getting closer, which I really enjoy.  She is blossoming into her own woman and she is one cool chick.  I'm 12 years older than her and I guess she is considered a half-sister, but to me, she is just a regular sister.  Calling somebody a half-sibling seems weird.

Gearing up for a busy month!  We have two more birthday parties, a baby shower, a surgeon appointment, a dentist appointment & we are going to see Jillian Michaels.  This is a lot for us as we are typically home bodies.  Ang has always considered Jillian Michaels one of her life "pack leaders," so I knew that I had to scoop up tickets while I could when I heard she is coming to my Alma Mater. We are in the 9th row!
