Random Tidbit #2: A friend of mine (I won't mention any names--Jimbo) was just talking to me about kidney stones and drinking too much caffeine (which I do). Yes, I think you jinxed me. Yes, I blame you. :-P
Random Tidbit #3: Going to Wal-Mart early on a Saturday morning is a good time to go. I am not stupid brave enough to go to a store with 2 kids by myself yet. Since Adam can only accompany us on the weekend and the kids are already up at the butt-crack of dawn, I thought we would get up and go. Surprisingly and thankfully, it did not start to get crowded until we were checking out.
Random Tidbit #4: I love gumbo. I mean, I REALLY, REALLY LOVE gumbo. But, in all my years, this born and bred southern girl has never actually cooked gumbo. So, since we were grocery shopping this morning, I decided, on a whim, to buy the ingredients and try it out. It wasn't great, but it was pretty good. I will just have to tweak the recipe next time...
Random Tidbit #5: Just call me Doubting Thomas. I admit it...never in a million years did I think LSU would beat Alabama. Don't get me wrong. I am a Tiger fan through and through...come on, my son can spell Tigers before he can spell his own name. But, based on previous gameplay, I just didn't think it would happen. I did, however, actually enjoy watching this game. There were still frustrating points, but there were also some really exciting ones too. In short, GEAUX TIGERS!
Random Tidbit #6: I love cold weather. I am so glad it finally showed up in Louisiana. It always makes me think about the holidays and the smells of the season. <insert shameless plug> My favorite is my Holidays scented candle from Lagniappe Candle Company. The mixture of pine, cinnamon, and cloves always makes me think of curling up on the couch with a chunky sweater, wool socks, a warm blanket, and a steaming mug of hot chocolate...with marshmallows, of course.
Random Tidbit #7: I think I am going to go back for seconds of gumbo....

Sorry you're not feeling well!!! Gumbo sounds awesome right about now though. I think you're entitled to quite a bit longer before you have the courage to venture to the store with two in tow. It certainly is not easy...
Hope you get to feeling better!
Love the post! Sounds like it was a kidney stone you passed. To make you feel better... at least you weren't on your HONEYMOON like Markus was when he got his and passed it. Hope you don't have more coming, but I'm curious, was that feeling worse than childbirth? Markus swears I will never feel such pain. Your thoughts?
P.S. I made gumbo for the first time on the Auburn game... loved it!
Jenn, it hurt, but it didn't hurt that bad. But that could because I was already in pain from the c-section. It sounds crazy, but I just felt relief that I could finally pee!
