My Left Foot

Here I am, resting comfortably on the sofa with my leg propped up and iced. I had surgery on my left foot on Friday and will have to stay still for a few days. This is the best time of the year to be laid up - for several reasons. First of all, Thanksgiving is coming up with the tons of preparation for the big feast and I can't walk. So .... Kara and Lindsay will be doing all the planning and cooking, with a little help on the appetizers from Ben. The menu they've planned sounds wonderful and I can hardly wait to taste their delicious creations. Second, while sofa sitting, I've spent hours upon hours internet Christmas shopping as well as searching for the perfect Christmas card and pictures for personalizing them. My favorties are on Shutterfly, but making a final decision is very difficult. It's a good thing I have three or four more days to decide! I'm attaching a link to one of my favorite Shutterfly cards. I'm excited about its simple design that is cool but allows for four pictures that will give all our friends and relatives an idea of what our family looks like this year! I also need to make our family calendars for 2011, which Shutterfly offers as well. I'm waiting not so patiently for Rick's siblings to send photos of their families. I can hardly wait to get started on the cards and the calendars. Tomorrow I begin the actual process, foot propped up and all!
