Life Update and Prompts Still Available

I still have three open prompt spots for my 2014 Ficmas line up. Go claim one while you can!

2014 Ficmas Prompt Post

In other news, my dad had surgery this week. He had a double hernia. Everything went well, but he will be laid up for a while recovering. Right now, he still hurts enough that he doesn't want to do anything. The problem will start when he doesn't hurt as much and wants to start doing stuff. He's not suppose to lift over 10 pounds for three weeks.

I also turned myself into a candy maker tonight. I've been slowly perfecting my strawberry jello shot dessert presentation since February. I've now made chocolate and vanilla candy cups to hold the strawberries. If they turn out well, I'll post a picture Saturday since that's when my cousin's wedding shower is that I'm taking them to.

Sorry to hear about your dad. I sympathesise with you because I remember when mine got operated on for a stomach ulcer (that was the procedure 45 years ago), and after being home from hospital one week decided to pull some trees out in the garden, essentially because he was bored. And needless to say he ended up back in A&E *sigh* So maybe you can get your dad's doctor to read him the riot act before he does anything silly because he feels bored and needs to do something - if he listens to the doc that is.
Mine dad who'll be 92 next month, still seems to think he's some kind of superman at times - so good luck there.
Hope he gets better soon and doesn't give you too much cause to worry.

Thanks! So far he's still to sore to do much. Have to see what happens in a few weeks. I know all about the superman syndrome. There are many of those in my family. And some superwomen too. ;)

It would seem this syndrome proliferates like garden gnomes - lol
Let's hope you can convince your dad to be Clark Kent instead of superman, once he starts getting fidgety and wanting to do things before fully recovered....

Have a nice Sunday

Hugs and healing vibes for your dad!!! Poor guy. :(

You cannot tease me with yummy candy and not show piccies! *shakes fist*

As for the prompts - I already got two. Will I be allowed a third if nobody claims the last spots?

I posted yummy candy pics! I'd send you some, but I think even being in New York they won't be in good shape by the time they get there. You need to detour to Kentucky on your way back to Germany. ;)

I opened it back up for the last two prompts that are left open. Go grab one!
