The first several surgerys were done at 2 military hospitals, 2 civilians hospitals and 2 at the VA hospital. Most were orthoscope procedures to clean out tears and bone fragments. One was a major surgery where they took part of his hamstring and rebuilt his ACL. Then 3 years ago he finally got a total knee replacement but it is not right, the spaces are too small and the ligaments have pulled away. Needless to say, he is miserable.

Granted, I sure have a lot more time now that I'm at home FT (since quitting my 3 day/week job last Oct.) but there's so many projects to do here, that I feel like I'll never quite catch up!<br /><br />Instant mashed potatoes, I agree with you on that one - gross! I don't like fake "anything" when it comes to food. ;-)<br /><br />Your poor husband with his knee.

I tend to be a procrastinator and get more done under pressure. When I'm home, time just slips away.

I think you spent your gift money very wisely. Ug, sorry about the more surgery for your dh! I hope he gets over it very quickly and that this will be the last one forever.<br /><br />My crock pot cooks everything so fast that I would never leave it. If I ever buy another one, I need to get one that cooks slower, like yours.<br /><br />My dh hates instant mashed potatoes, but I like them. So I make enough just for me in the microwave. <br /><br />I bet coming home from church to all that good food and the delicious smells was very nice.<br /><br />Have a great Wednesday!Debbie Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01610913789958390802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146108932998813686.post-32822925384197455492013-01-22T20:40:59.642-06:002013-01-22T20:40:59.642-06:00Bored?

There is always something to do and new projects to beckon us. ha.<br /><br />I saw that triple crock pot at Sams and thought it would be so nice for holidays and a big crowd...just to keep things hot and free up stove/oven space. I'm sure you'll enjoy it!Betsy Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807795605763246015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146108932998813686.post-7906956796275892182013-01-22T20:36:53.794-06:002013-01-22T20:36:53.794-06:00what yummy meals you are coming up with!!
