Well it has been a long day. After getting here at 5:30 a.m., then many hours of waiting in a room filled with cranky people, wicked loud cell phones that no one seemed to want to/know how to answer, and broken vending machines/bathrooms to foil any snacking/peeing plans I may have had, Blue Eyes finally made it out of the procedure and the recovery room. In between dry heaves (love that anesthesia!) and drug-induced sleeping bouts, he rolls over and says, “Gonna let me guest blog about this?” Hahaha. Cute. :)

So after making sure he was okay, I headed back down to the cafeteria. Ran into the same hot guys with guns from this morning so I’m guessing they didn’t go to Galveston. The traffic down there is insane! Still, I have to wonder where so many people would be going to closer by and still be able to make it back here for lunch. Hmmm. Anyway, noshed on a yummy grilled cheese and tomato on wheat and some four-bean salad (yes, four – they added chickpeas). I think I could live on four-bean salad. Mmmm. Brought back some Diet Sweet Leaf Mint & Honey tea for Blue Eyes in the hopes that he’ll be able to keep something down. I am a sympathetic vomiter.

Okay, I just typed that and then the guy in the next bed totally puked all over the place. Ewww. Don’t think my lunch will look all that great coming back up… Blah.

Part-Time Law Student and GoogieBaba both tagged me for this meme. The task is to name 5 non-law blogs we like, and then tag 5 law bloggers to do the same.

Non-Law Blogs:
Pundit Mom – Excellent measured commentary on political issues for females/mothers.

Oh, the Joys – Oh.My.God., this woman is sooooooo funny!! In fact, because she is so funny, I don’t read her as often as I should. She makes me snort wine up my nose or fall down and hurt myself, hence the 179 posts backed up in Bloglines waiting for me. Bad, bad, bad.

Melting Mama – I really admire Beth for getting out there and sharing her struggles post-gastric bypass with such good humor. She’s really funny, writes excellent product reviews and is a ballsy mother.

Attack of the Redneck Mommy – Another funny-as-hell female blogger.

Random, Esq. – Don’t let the name fool you, this is not a legal blog. This guy cracks me up and you have to love the dog!

I tag:
Legally Certifiable
Magic Cookie
NewLawMom
Disturbed Universe
Thanks, But No Thanks

Sitting in the cafeteria of the local hospital eating a hard-boiled egg, a banana and some crappy-ass hospital coffee. Not here for me, for once. :) Anyway, I walked into the cafeteria and was immediately surrounded by about 60 hungry disaster response medical teams. Being so close to Galveston, I think they are being bussed down there today. While they wait, they are gassing up on breakfast burritos and sausage. There is everyone from men with guns to federal medical team members to healthcare personnel from Alabama. It’s pretty cool.

Speaking of men with guns, Blue Eyes took me shooting this weekend. I think I can cross that off my list of life activities. I was supposed to be shooting a little pistol and somehow ended up with a big rifle in my hand. It doesn’t work too well if you sight it up with the target and then close your eyes/turn your head before pulling the trigger. LOL! Still, I managed to get a few on the paper.
