today i earned a cupcake.

i was brave.  spent the day dealing with the knee, and the doctors and the big needle that then went into said knee.  it sure did hurt. {i yelled, a lot} but i felt much better when my husband brought me a giant chocolate cupcake with mint frosting and chocolate shavings from here.  i earned it he said.  it's true, i did.   

i'm not here to complain, but i did want to say that my plan for the week is now kinda on hold for a bit.  my idea for my etsy anniversary surprise give-a-way will have to wait till i don't feel so woozy (meds) and wonky (crutches).  so that's where i'm at this week, but i hope to be better by next week for sure.  let's just say i'm in better shape than when i had my first knee surgery- it was on both knees at the same time.  'nuff said.  

thought i'd show you a little preview/sneak peek into my plan...

i did a little backyard photo shoot last week with my new little birdies who will be part of the give-a-way along with more goodies i have up my sleeve. 

my current plan is to get better by staying put.  i'll eat soup (homemade chicken orzo), while i read this and then i'll watch this. 

see you soon + thanks for your understanding!
