Sawdust, Aggie Football & the Mini Masseuse

     Wednesday evening Andy and I had to dog-sit Sawdust for Andy's parents.  His dad had a business meeting out of town, and Sawdust is pretty picky about who he stays with.  I remember the first time we kept him was pretty tough because no one slept, but he's much better now.  It's still a madhouse with Sawdust, Maddie and Lonestar all under the same roof!

Exhausted after playing all evening

     Last night was yet again another Aggie football game - A&M 59, LA Tech 57.  I can't handle these stressful games.  We kick butt in the first half and then make it a close game in the second half.  I would just rather win by a lot of points the entire game!  Andy and I kept up with our tradition of making some "football" food.  This time I added a cheeseball on another Aggie dish.

 

     So, most of you probably know, I get migraines.  A couple of years ago I actually went to the doctor to try get some relief from them.  He prescribed me this huge pink pill for tension headaches, but I am not a huge fan of taking medicine so I haven't used them much.  Do they work?  Oh yes, they do and I should probably take one more often!  The longest I've had a migraine is three days.  Usually they last about 24 hours.  I haven't ever thrown up, but I do get that sick feeling in my stomach like I'm going to.  Typically if I can get home and take a nap for an hour and then take some Advil, I can make it through.  Of course I still feel the remnants of it the next day, but my head doesn't feel like I need to rip it off.  Long story short, Andy's mom gets migraines as well.  She will try any and everything to get rid of hers because hers can last for a week.  She discovered this machine called the Mini Masseuse.  It has these little pads that you put on your shoulders, back, etc. and it sends a shock through your muscles to "massage" it.  It's actually pretty cool, and for me, it works about 80% of the time.  So, if you get migraines and need some relief, try it out.

 

P.S.  Having an iPhone makes it so much easier to take and post pictures! :)  And, my OtterBox came in the mail - love it!!
