Chicken

So I must admit, as excited as I am to have it over, I am totally freaked out about my surgery tomorrow!! I wasn't close to being this nervous before I had my knee surgery. There is just something about the thought of someone messing with my eyes that gives me the creeps.

There is also a bunch of unknowns. Like how do they keep my eyeball from moving? Will I see the surgical instrument coming at my eye? I've been stressing all day! I know that does me no good but as hard as I try to not think about it...there it is.

On to happier thoughts...I have a new hobby! I have discovered that I like (and am even kind of good at) making furniture. I've made one dresser so far but have plans to make my own kitchen table and benches, lockers for the mudroom, pedestals for my washer and dryer, and a dress up station for Shiloh, just to name a few.

For the first time in years I actually know what I want for Christmas...a compound miter saw with stand! Wow I didn't see that coming! Who would have thought I would like to make furniture? I'll post a pic of the dresser and you can tell me what you think (maybe I'm not as good at it as I think..be honest) Either way, I am having lots of fun and have no plans to stop.

I am off of school until April so I hope I can get several pieces done in that time. It depends on if I can find reasonably priced wood and the weather and all kinds of things. I am grateful to my good friend for sharing the DIY website with me because it's not something I would have thought about on my own.
