Brownies and Random

I got new recipe for brownies, that is so yummy!!!  It is so easy too!  All you do is put a regular brownie mix and one can of black beans, drained and rinsed and pureed.  You don't add the eggs or the oil.  I added a squirt of chocolate syrup and a little water to make it less dry.  Then bake them following the directions on the box.  That's it!  You seriously can't taste the beans at all and you get fiber, protein, and a little less fats!  How awesome is that?!?!?

 We had our family pumpkin carving party last week.  I love getting to hang with my familly so much, cause let's face it, they rock.  :)

 I love this cute man!!  My family did a bike race, but I wasn't back on my game from the tonsillectomy, so we cheered them on.

Apparently, my body was so ready to gain my weight back, I made Stan take me to a nice restaurant just so I could get a chocolatey, yummy dessert.  He spoils me. 

Zane is getting ready for the hunt tonight.   

Before I went back to work we went mini-golfing and I got two holes in one!  We have so much fun together.  :)

Tonsillectomy

I would post pictures of my tonsils, post-op, but I don't want to completely gross anyone out, so just imagine some nasty hunks of meatball-ish yuckiness well over an inch in diameter.  I was having problems breathing at night, and when I would open my mouth my tonsils would squish my uvula together, so I had them removed a couple of weeks ago. For the first couple of days it was pretty painful, so I just hung out at the house and Stan took care of me.  As the 5th day was ending I mentioned to Stan, "This has been pretty bad, but if this is the worst day, I think I'll be alright." Those were the worst words I could have spoken.  The next day I was eating a couple of bites of applesauce and I felt like a river of warm flooded down my throat (weird for eating cold applesauce), I went upstairs and spit in the sink ... more blood than I even knew a human body could hold.  I called Stan at work and he rushed home, but when I called the hospital they only seemed partially concerned that it looked like I had murdered a small pony in my bathroom, so I had to wait a couple of hours.  We went to the doctor and he re-cauterized my throat and gave me some antibiotics just in case there was infection.  The re-cauterizing was really bad, I stopped talking and just started writing notes to Stan for a couple of days because I was hurting so much.  The antibiotics were pills and I almost died when the pharmacist gave them to me, so I had him make them in smaller pills, but I still had to take six a day.  After I had been taking the pills for a few days I realized that I am allergic and I was completely covered in hives. Lovely.  I called my ENT and he prescribed another antibiotic, but still had to go to my primary care to get rid of the hives.  When I saw him he told me that I was probably allergic to the second one, too.  I was a giant, purple, miserable, hive for over a week.  But, now I'm mostly back, thanks to my sweet nurse who took care of me 24/7, he even woke up at 1am to me freaking out thinking that I had ringworm, actually I'm just allergic to the heart monitor stickers.  So, that's my tonsil story, I did lose ten pounds, if you're looking for a really awful diet plan, try it.
