So Julie tagged everyone on her blog so that includes me :)
Rules: Write 6 random things about yourself, link the person who tagged you & post the rules. Tag six people and link them. Let them know they have been tagged. Like Julie, I'm tagging everyone! Here it goes...
1) I love to read recipes. Seriously, give me a recipe book and I could spend an entire day reading and marking all the recipes I want to try.
2) I am terrified of spiders. Size doesn't matter. I hate them. End of story.
3) Frito Lays Kettle Cooked Jalapeno chips are my strongest weakness. If you've never eaten them and you like spicy things, try them! If you become an addict, please don't blame me.
4) Sometimes after Kross goes to bed (and Wes is at work), I quietly go get him out of bed and rock him. There's nothing sweeter than cuddling with a sleeping baby that has that fresh baby lotion scent. It's the perfect stress reliever.
5) My real name is Kimberly Carol. Kacy is just a nickname. My initials are K.C., but my parents chose to spell it differently. I thought everyone knew this, but apparently not. My own cousin just discovered this fact on Christmas day! Funny.
6) I think about my Grandmother (who passed away in 1997) a lot. She was my favorite person in the entire world and I miss her terribly. I wish Wes and Kross had the honor of knowing her.

Recovering
I'm attempting to type with my right hand bandaged. It's not easy, but I need to get used to it. I never realized how much I used my right hand and thank God that this is only temporary.
I'm surviving though. My mother in law has helped me out a lot! I am so thankful for her. She has come over every night and bathed Kross and put him to bed. I can't even carry the little guy and I miss that so much! Luckily, he knows that I have a boo-boo and he allows me to cuddle with him on the sofa.
This morning I woke up sick. Not good. I think it was my medicine, but I don't know. My mother in law came over and picked up Kross so I could rest. She brought him back around 2pm and then came back over this evening to help me. Wes will be able to do the bathing and tucking in beginning tomorrow night.
Speaking of Wes... have you ever had to have your husband wash your hair? Not fun. Wes has washed mine everyday since my surgery. I'm happy he doesn't mind, but ouch!!! I'm not sure how I'm going to handle it once Monday rolls around. I may have my sister come over and do it for me. We'll see.
Well, my hand is really hurting now so I'm going to end this post. I'll write more later.

Water, Calories, & a Cyst
I only made one resolution this year and it's kicking my butt. It's simple... drink more water. As simple as it sounds, it's a true challenge for me. I'm the type of person who only drinks when I'm thirsty. I can go all day and not take one sip... trust me, I find myself doing this on the weekends a lot. It's pitiful. And I don't know why, but I really don't like water. I know... it has no taste, but it still makes me want to gag when I down a cup. So with that being said, I must say that I'm sticking with it. I have to MAKE myself do it, but I'm doing it. Of course, I'm up all hours of the night making bathroom trips, but that's okay :) Have I mentioned that I feel much better now that I'm hydrating my body?!!? Funny how that works.
So in the midst of drinking more water, I came across an article in a magazine stating that women should consume a minimum of 2000 calories/day. Less than 2000 can be unhealthy and of course over-doing isn't good either. I've never counted calories, but I thought what the heck... why not!? So tonight I started an online calorie counter/food journal. I recorded every little thing that entered my mouth. From the amount of cream I put in my morning cup of coffee to the number of banana peppers I put on my sandwich at lunch. From the two mid-day Hershey's kisses to the rib-eye I split with my husband tonight. I knew that I had to be going way over the minimum calorie intake, but I was curious to know what I averaged. Get this: it's nearly 10pm and I still have over 600 calories to consume to reach 2000! Now I'm no nutritionist, but are you kidding me? I'm going to continue to count for a week just to get an average. Maybe today wasn't a good day to test. I don't know why because I didn't do anything out of the ordinary. I'll keep you updated. And please don't start harassing me by saying that I don't need to lose weight. I'm not trying to... I just want to make that clear. There's a difference in eating healthy and dieting. If I'm not consuming enough calories, I need to know... same goes for if I'm consuming too many.
I'm having a ganglion cyst removed tomorrow. It's on the top of my right wrist. I've read that most of the time, this type of cyst causes no discomfort. Unfortunately, I'm one of the few who feels pain and discomfort. Hopefully all will go well.
Did I mention that I can't eat after midnight tonight and my surgery isn't until 1pm?!? Great.

Tagged-Christmas Version
Wrapping paper or gift bags? Depends on the gift. If it will be pretty wrapped, I prefer to wrap it
Tree--Real or Artificial? Artificial
Ever re-gift a gift you've been given? Yes, but only if I received the gift in a secret/dirty santa gift exchange. I have never regifted somthing that was specifically bought for me.
When do you put your Christmas tree up? Usually the day after Thanksgiving
When do you take the tree down? after New Year's
Like eggnog? Yes, although I never buy it because I'm the only one in my family that likes it.
Do you have a nativity scene? No
Hardest person to buy for? Wes. The things I know he really wants are impossible for me to pick out... guns, hunting gear, etc. I know NOTHING about that kind of stuff!
Easiest person to buy for? Kross, but I'm sure this is only a phase :)
Mail or email a Christmas card? Mail
Favorite Christmas movie? Home Alone & How the Grinch Stole Christmas
When do you start shopping for Christmas? very. last. minute. I don't think I'll ever stop procrastinating. It happens every year!
Favorite food to eat on Christmas? Breakfast casserole... it's a family tradition :)
Clear or colored tree lights? Clear
Favorite Christmas Song? White Christmas (although I can't remember the last white Christmas we've had!)
Open presents on Christmas Eve or morning? We open presents with my family on Christmas Eve. The three of us open ours on Christmas morning and then we get together with Wes' family sometime after that.
Most annoying thing about this time of year? How the true meaning of Christmas has been replaced by materialism.
Feel free to play along!

Follow
Our preacher started a series yesterday called Follow. To be honest, it really made me think. He preached about how many people follow Jesus because of His works rather than His worth. They believe in God because they think it’s a guarantee to go to Heaven. You’ve heard it before… “If you died today, are you 100% sure you would go to Heaven?” Of course, this isn’t a bad question, but it can also mislead non-believers. They accept Jesus and instead of truly following Him, they just believe in Him. It’s like their “get out of hell” card. They want and expect all the benefits Christ has to offer and when they don’t obtain these benefits, they become disappointed and wonder away.
The bottom line is this: If you follow God because of His works, you may be disappointed. God works on His own watch, not ours. Instead, follow Him for who He is and the benefits will follow.

List 7 weird facts about yourself:
1). I hate milk, but I put it in cereal. This is the only time I consume it.
2). I used to hate mushrooms until I got pregnant. Now I like them.
3). I'm claustrophobic... if I'm in a small, confined area, I panic.
4). I can't pretend to like someone if I don't. That's being fake and I don't like that.
5). I'm actually kind of shy. It takes me a while to warm up to someone.
6). I'm very neat and organized. Clutter drives me nuts! If I don't use it, I don't need it.
7). I am terrified of spiders. Terrified.
