Today was supposed to be about our Colorado trip. Unfortunately my legs have been hurting so badly I haven't done much lately. I went to the DR. today to try to get something or be told how to make the pain go away! I knew it wasn't anything bad but the pain just would NOT subside.
Turns out it is severe Tendonitis of the tendon that is connected to my fibula by my knee. I walk like a 90 yr old. Prescription strength pain killers....maybe this stuff will finally go away...I really need to clean the apartment and do laundry (we do not have a washer/dryer in our apartment - have to go somewhere to do it).....which brings me to...

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season! I had a few resolutions....
1. to blog 5/7 days - here we go! 2. to eat healthier and take more vitamins (this includes Matt!) 3. save more!
Please stick to this blog, I will not be posting on facebook and no pictures will be posted on facebook. This is the Hestilow family blog for family and friends to read!
Books I have read since I last updated!
Matched Warm Bodies Beautiful Disaster The Death Cure
Currently Reading: Wicked I posted and saved this 12/21 - it is now 1/3/12 and I have finished Wicked, The Woman in Black, Pretty Little Liars #1 and am now currently reading Son of A Witch, Pretty Little Liars #2, and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close!
Thoughts?
Matched was not bad - like a really tame dystopian novel. ALL about love. Warm Bodies - FANTASTIC book- can't wait until it is a movie! Beautiful Disaster - really no plot. just wrote about these two people who are both disasters and their love life. The Death Cure - A great ending to the trilogy. I am so sad it is done.
The new Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn't drink or swear, and she has the appropriate percentage of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance between her and the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend America, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University's Walking One-Night Stand.
Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby needs--and wants--to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the charming college co-ed. Intrigued by Abby's resistance to his charms, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis' apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match.
'R' is a zombie. He has no name, no memories, and no pulse, but he has dreams. He is a little different from his fellow Dead.
Amongst the ruins of an abandoned city, R meets a girl. Her name is Julie and she is the opposite of everything he knows - warm and bright and very much alive, she is a blast of colour in a dreary grey landscape. For reasons he can't understand, R chooses to save Julie instead of eating her, and a tense yet strangely tender relationship begins.
This has never happened before. It breaks the rules and defies logic, but R is no longer content with life in the grave. He wants to breathe again, he wants to live, and Julie wants to help him. But their grim, rotting world won't be changed without a fight...
Thomas knows that Wicked can't be trusted, but they say the time for lies is over, that they've collected all they can from the Trials and now must rely on the Gladers, with full memories restored, to help them with their ultimate mission. It's up to the Gladers to complete the blueprint for the cure to the Flare with a final voluntary test.
What Wicked doesn't know is that something's happened that no Trial or Variable could have foreseen. Thomas has remembered far more than they think. And he knows that he can't believe a word of what Wicked says.
The time for lies is over. But the truth is more dangerous than Thomas could ever imagine.
Will anyone survive the Death Cure?
So I think that 2012 is going to be an amazing year. Since I believe this one of my New Years Resolution will be to work hard at blogging atleast once every day. Even if it is HI!
Not much going on. Just gave blood - I am seriously becoming a pro at this!
I have been staring at these shoes since they made their appearance this fall. I love Michael Kors but never splurge on anything. I got these $150 for $75 in the clearance rack. I am in love.
Matt sent me flowers at work the other week - our 3 anniversary from the day he proposed to me. He is wonderful! He also remembered that Tulips are my favorite!!
off to go eat a hearty meal - HEY I was ordered by those who took my blood!
