First Weekend Recap of 2012

Happy New Year, blog friends!

Thanks for reading my lengthy story posts over the past couple of days,

and many thanks for your amazing and sweet comments.

How about a little lighter reading today with some

photos of my weekend?

Cool.

I seem to manage at least one thing to ask Santa Claus for each year. Usually that thing is poo-poo'd by Doug and Carrie, combined with rolling of eyes and a bit of "what would you do with that?!?!" mixed in. This year's thing-I-wanted was a mini-donut maker. {Who's rolling their eyes now, eh?!?!}

I have been going crazy wanting to make donuts since I opened this package but it didn't seem doable with my right arm in a sling. I couldn't stand the waiting anymore, and busted out these bad boys yesterday.  {Confession: Since Doug was away on a hunting trip, I had donuts for dinner last night.}

I'm so excited about this goofy little thing that I'm thinking of doing a donut feature on my blog and making different donuts every week. I'll call it: "52 Donuts." {LOL... Check in with me one year from now and see if I weigh an extra 52 pounds!}

This sling I'm lugging around? Totally.Over.It.

I see my doctor for the two-week follow-up tomorrow morning and I'm really hoping he'll have good things to say about my recovery progress. More specifically, I really hope I can at least get rid of the foam block underneath the sling. It's bulky and hot and stupid.

Carrie's sweet friend, Lindsay had a housewarming party that we attended on Saturday. I made this little card for her...mostly with my left hand...

And last, but certainly not least as it was a big part of my weekend: my new iPhone.

I asked Santa and he delivered. Proof that I was a very good girl? I think so. ;o) Anyway, I swore I wouldn't be one of those people with my nose stuck to the phone but I'm there. Hoping that it's a phase and will wear off soon, but this phone is amazing and probably deserves its very own blog post in the future.

On the agenda this week? Continuing the practice of driving a mouse with my left hand, I'm looking for a job and doing lots of online reading. I finally figured out a way to tie my own shoes which means I can resume my daily walk around the neighborhood. Getting out of the house is huge for me right now. And my mind is swirling with potential blog posts...

My 2012 is off to a fabulous start!

How's your year so far?
