Now we're cooking!

Kind of a rambly entry...

Car accident stuff is moving along. Still no rental. Got a lawyer. Dad's fiancee is going to be letting me use her car until I get a rental since she doesn't have to work all week. Thank goodness :) My car is still in the back of the driveway... and it makes me sad to look at her. My poor tank :(

Went to the hospital on Friday night to get checked out after everyone (literally... my parents, uncles and aunts, friends, co-workers) insisted that I should. Nothing broken and no internal bleeding. No concussion (which I coulda told ya). A lot of bumps and bruises though... bruised ribs, banged up knee... lots of pulled muscles. But nothing that some heat and rest won't cure. My lawyer, and several others, were really shocked that I walked away from it in that good of shape. I don't know how it happened but It's definately a wonderful thing.

Anyway, in a bit my mom, aunt and I are going shopping for Thanksgiving food. I offered to make the cranberry sauce and the pumpkin pie. I'm excited to make both. I'm making Orange-Cranberry Sauce and a Pumpkin Pie... the pie isn't quite from scratch but it's also not going to be one that I take out of a box and throw into the oven either. It's an "Easy" pumpkin pie recipie I'll try to get pictures of all of it on Wednesday night when I make it. If anyone is interested in the recipes that I'm using lemme know and I'll post them later.

Also hopefully going to do some shopping while out with my mom. I need shirts like whoa. I also need to get on listing some of my old clothes so I can do a sales post on LJ's fatshionista this week.

I went to bed at 9:30 last night and woke up at 8 this morning. I had taken a Flexerol earlier in the day to help the stiffness and the pain was so bad at night that I took a Vicoden. I had a reaction to the Vicoden I think, which has never happened before (not that I've been on it a whole lotta times either...) but I'm all splotchy especially on my legs. Yikes.

Went out with my dad and his fiancee yesterday. We went to a fabric store she frequents and as an early Christmas gift my dad got me a book on knitting as well as yarn and needles... I'm excited. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time. So hopefully that will be started soon.

For now I'm going to go read more of Goldengrove by Francine Prose, until my mom gets here to pick me up.

... How I despise not having a car!
