A week into the new year, I went under the knife to have my (super annoying) tonsils removed. I was nervous to have this surgery alone in a new place and ALMOST convinced my mom to fly out to take care of me, but in the end I was ok. (Many thanks to Steve & IeLi for taking care of me for the first day!)
I took about 2 weeks off work (or was it more?). The recovery was horrifically painful. My tongue was the last place for the swelling to go down. My taste buds were injured and I did not taste food normally again for 6 solid months. Some items still don't taste the same, which is really for the best because who needs to love the taste of movie popcorn anyway? Now with some separation, I am so glad I had them removed as I had a full year without strep or other irritating tonsil issues.

Apparently I sent it to Ken. I have no recollection of doing so...
Ken came out to DC for his Trial Advocacy Traveling Team Competition. We explored DC together.
I scored an AMAZING deal on an Anthropologie floor sample couch. I can't believe I never blogged about that...

HaHa! That tongue picture is gross, and even so weird that you can't remember sending it.
