Me: "I was really looking forward to eating dinner tonight"
Shauna: "If it makes you feel better, I haven't eaten either."
Me: "Why would that make me feel better? 'Oh boy, you're hungry too'?"
Stupid abdominal pains. More to follow later. 
UPDATE: After getting home at 6AM, the doctor couldn't really say more than "here, have a Lortab".

So I got tagged for an Internet meme, and the only thing I can think of is something my wife has said before:

We've been terrible at socializing over the last couple of months. We missed parties, we don't call or e-mail and we even skipped our normal New Year's Eve gala this year.

Just a quickie to let everyone know that we got home from the hospital yesterday afternoon. Shauna's been sleepy (oxycodone/Percoset will do that) but we've had a few welcomed visitors over today. Anyone looking to do well-wishing should drop by or give us a call.

Appendicitis.
More specifically, Shauna's sitting in St. Mark's Hospital (room 9 in the emergency room if you're interested) with a "gnarly-looking" (quote from the doctor) hunk of everyone's favorite vestigial organ.

For years I'd been hearing about Settlers of Catan and about how much fun it is to play.

Her mom was in town and invited us down […]

Last night, I asked Shauna for a sip of her Cherry Pepsi. She obliged and I remarked that, while it's good, I like Cherry Coke better. According to her, this means I'm a communist.
