Under the Knife

Kristen has her wisdom teeth removed on Friday and has been recovering these last few days. This experience has led me to a few realizations:
1. You can really get a sense of your love for a person when you see them in pain and unable to fend for themselves. Seeing Kristen after she woke up from surgery made my heart break. She seemed so sad and weak. Needless to say, she got over that stage pretty quickly and was running around the house days before I was when I had the same thing done. She's one tough cookie!
2. You learn who your friends are. It's refreshing to see the things people do and say when you've experienced some sort of trauma, no matter how big or small. This year I've experienced it through my back surgery, my grandmother's passing, and now Kristen's surgery. We have some fantastic friends.
3. Lost is a great drama, and I'm so glad I kept myself from watching a single episode so that I could start at the beginning. Six episodes down, quite a few to go.
4. Milkshakes are good. Don't believe me? Blend up one banana. Add a cup of homemade vanilla ice cream (or store bought, I suppose...) and 3/4 cup of milk. Blend till smooth. Drink it up! Delish! (If you're really crazy, throw in some peanut butter too!)
5. Dogs are weird. When you really think about it, they just are.
6. The human body is an amazing thing. This is never more apparent then after watching the olympics. To see a person swim like a fish, then another person run twenty miles, then another person lift twice their body weight, then someone else jump and flip on a four inch bar, to a person...
7. Not really a realization, but on the subject of the olympics, did you know this is the last time baseball and softball are going to be part of the olympics? Yeah, I guess they don't have much room for pseudo-sports, what with table tennis and badminton and all. Maybe it'll come back as synchronized baseball. After all, we have synchronized diving now!
8. Laying around the house doing nothing is awesome if your name is Wes, not quite as awesome if your name is Kristen.

Now we're off to PC3 for the 12:30 service. Then to Best Buy to get Apple's wireless keyboard, two volleyball matches tonight and then hopefully a couple more episodes of Lost tonight!
