Slow learner...

Why do I have to be a slow learner about some things?
Maybe if I had stayed off my foot in the beginning it would be better by now.....ya think?
ok....so, I'm sorry I cut the soft cast off for the third time!
I will be good
I will be good
I will be good

Looks like a storm is coming.....
Want to know what I think about Winter?

Stay away...don't come....
Please bring my sunshine back!

Broken :(

This is what happened when I dropped a 45 pound weight bar on my foot a the gym. It has been a month and it still isn't healed, but that is probably because I have cut the soft cast off twice. The first time I cut it off and went back in to see the doctor he wasn't pleased that I'd removed it. I told him it is hard to jump rope with the boot....the jump rope gets caught in the velcro. He wasn't amused! So....he put another soft cast on and told me to leave it on. That lasted about 5 days and I couldn't stand it...cut it off again and canceled my next appointment.
How long does it take to heal a broken foot?

All that Jazz.....

We went to the Jazz game the other night.....Terryn and Nick won some Jazz tickets through Twitter for the same game, Nick brought his cousin. We knew their seats were in the upper level and since we are on the 10th row & we had an extra seat because Griff was the only one that wanted to come with us and the people with seats next to ours weren't there...we decided to ask Nick and his cousin to come sit by us.
so.........
I texted Nick and the conversation went like this.....
Me: Come sit by us we have extra seats and half time treat passes.
Nick: Who is this?
Me: HaHa, it's Julie.
Nick: Julie who?
(at this point I thought Nick was just messin' with me, being funny)
Me: Julie, as in your Mother in law!
Nick: Funny, I don't have a Mother in law yet!
(Now I am kind of wondering, so I leaned over and ask Roger what number he had in his contact list for Nick...oops, it was a different number than I had)
Yikes I'd been texting some random person!
Me: Sorry.....

Dude, where's my car?

Funny story....

After Griff's Scouting function tonight I walked out in the "DARK" parking lot with Hadley and Megan. Not really paying attention to what I was doing because I realized I'd driven the suburban and for some strange reason the headlights have not worked since the weekend?? I'd driven the suburban because the BMW wouldn't start....I'm thinking dead battery.....anyhow, sorry for all that background....

So.....I hit the remote on the keychain to unlock the door, usually the interior light comes on. When I opened the door to climb in the light still didn't come on. I assumed the light not working had something to do with the headlight problem.

Ummmm....no, that wasn't the problem. I'd gotten into the wrong car, in fact it wasn't even another suburban, IT WAS A TRUCK!

OOOPS!

I could hear Hadley and Megan saying something to me, so I looked out through the passenger window and wouldn't you know they are standing next to my suburban two parking spaces away. They were saying, "you are in the wrong car, that is a truck." Actually I couldn't quite make out what they were saying because they were laughing too hard! I kind of did a slow look around.....oh my gosh, I am in the wrong car!

We sure had a good laugh driving home...without headlights.....in the dark.....

online shopping....

I placed an order this past week for an ABMAT

Here is what I ordered.....
Here is what I got.....Size 11 weight lifting shoes. What the heck am I supposed to do with these?

Happily Ever After.....

Congratulations Taylor and Megan!

I wonder what her Christmas list will look like.......
