cakes. crocheting. and a backache. OH my!

lets see. where to start. 

oh how about cake decorating class. 

yeah. its a class. 

at our church. 

and its AWESOME. 

a lady who used to teach those classes at a craft store- is now teaching us- for free!

it is so fun!

yesterday was week 2. 

not only did ryan and i spread the icing on the cake we decorated the top! 

i made the little bird.

ryan made the cloud rain on the bird. 

haha. 

i was pretty impressed with the outcome! 

next up. 

crocheting. 

learned a new stitch! thats going to def benefit mom! :) im working on her christmas present right now. 

im already done with all of my sister's! and my mother in-law!

there are perks to sitting at home all day not being able to do much!

which leads me to my shoulder

im supposed to still be in a sling- 

but i just wear it in public. at home i just take it easy. 

my PT is going well. 

i can almost lift my arm all the way up straight by my ear!!

almost is the key word there. 

im lifting a hefty ONE pound weight also!

i go to the doc today. let's hope its a good report!!

and my back-- well its because of the sling. 

the sling adds so much stress and tension on your upper back muscles. 

thus the major upper left back pain. 

so heat. and a massager are my new friends. 

oh and school. the only other thing i do.... 

its fine. ready for this semester to be over. 

let me get a countdown going for you: 

1 blog post (not a fun one. stupid school one)

1 group paper

1 group verbal presentation

1 exercise paper due

1 personal paper

& just completed a day early :) 1 verbal presentation

and 30 hours of clinical

thats all that separates me from christmas break :) 

almost. done.
