while RJ can't score me lemon meringue pies as an afternoon snack at work for his birthday (Like one of my bosses did today) he still deserves a shout out. so have a happy birthday jimmy. and here is your present, a bit of advice: pack everything for your trip... it will save you hassle and the gov't embarrassment... no one want one of the govt's OWN to be caught sneaking on evian or hand cream, though according to the TSA's latest you are allowed up to 4 oz of eye drops and KY jelly. Have an exciting trip agent wang.
....and many more.

crickity-crickity-crack
so the dr was able to realign my neck, vertebrae and put my rib back in... but he told me that it would"hurt like hell" for the next day or so. he told me to take it easy and if i could afford to say home and rest. so here i am ... again with no cable and needing to stay bed/couch bound as much as possible with the ice.

back from the doc's
no mountain climbing for me this weekend... my doctor tried to fix my rib/ vertebrae problem but i am in too much pain and there is too much swelling so I am icing for 20 min of every hour and taking celebrex, tylonal 3, and my favorite skelaxin (or as i call it skeletor). Hopefully by monday I will be ok to go to work and then go to the doc's and have him pop the rib back and realign my back.
thanks for the well wishing... i just wish we had cable... i have watched a lot of bad tv today, and i think tomorrow is a lather rinse repeat type of day, except no driving

Pain in the neck/back
so yesterday i was waiting for bill to come home and watching a simpsons episode on tv. I had to get up for some reason and as I did I heard this very loud snap/pop in my right shoulder/back area. Crap i thought, not this rib again.... but then the pain subsided and I thought maybe it was popping the rib back in place. by bed time though, I knew that couldn't be... pain radiated down my arm, i couldn't turn my head, and even laying flat hurt. then the storm came.
yesterday there were some aweful storms in indiana that spawned a few tornados.... so when i thought i heard the alarm go off (in retorspect it could have been a loud truck engine) I made bill go down stairs with me and see what the tv said. tv just showed a ton of lightening but no tornados so at 615 bill and i tried to go back to bed. *note to self... NEVER get a house with a sky light in the bedroom/attached bathroom* of course by then the pain was worse and i was exhausted. So now i await my dr. appointment this afternoon while i try to remain very still.
lovely, frickin beautiful.

Movin down the road...
It seems that many people I know are moving...
My cousin Malesa and her husband Phillip are on the move to NYC
... and will end up not too far from where Scott and Suzanne have moved
Mary and Jared are awaiting the close of their home in Texas
Megan and Jed are settling in in DC
RJ has some swanky new place with a pool
Neil is doing home improvements on his not-so-new place
My mom is hoping to relocate to AZ and has sold our home
My uncle Chris has relocated back to the states for the moment
With all this moving and shaking i feel left out... I want to move! no i don't want to haul boxes or worry about change of address notifications... i just want change. This might go along with my large craving to be going back to school.... i just want to be doing something different than i currently am.
In other news ... I was watching Primetime last night and they had some news program on about the white power movement and they were focusing on these twins.... andway a real winner of a clip "like i think like if we were like being brainwashed we would like know cause we have the opportunity to leave." mmmm yes because people know when the are brainwashed...

bill and i played against each other yesterday on our DS lites .... as my shy guy pitched a red shell at Bill's yoshi i wondered why we hadn't gotten the kart for our cube. oh well we would probably waste way too much time if we had it.

what was in the water?
Happy birthday Giddo! 08/10
Happy birthday Mary Madison! 08/11
Happy birthday Lily! 08/12
Happy birthday Brian! 08/12
four birthdays in three days. Brian has a big one this year, but let's hope it can remember some of it, and remeber Brian don't drink and fish, you'll end up with a hook in your eye or something nasty like that.
I must say i feel abandoned by my fellow blogers... first connie leaves us for good then frank, megan, and jed all take hiatus-es at the same time, and Bill RJ and Mary have never been regular anyway.
Ok, back to work.

mickey ears.
a year ago right now bill and I were checking into out hotel for our honeymoon. we then walked over to the magic kingdom wearing out special ears of matrimony and happily wandered the park.
this year i sit here in my over airconditioned office wondering how work survived without me for a whole two weeks. I didn't even call to check in.
anyway i am making my way through rereading harry potter a favored past time of more than a few people i know this summer. I think snape has to die. I think good or bad he is going to kick it in the next book, basically because either the OoP will kaptuz him (eye for an eye) because he is an evil SoB... OR he will sacrafice himself to save Harry and peeps proving that he was goo all along. One thing that mugglenet was reporting is that there is some significance to Harry having his mother's eyes and another thing is that there is more to Aunt Petunia than we know and we will find it out. For me, the list of things that we need to find out is pretty darn long at this point.
Anyway, Mary feel better and don't eat any more sketchy food on the road. RJ if you want a list of books I recently read email me.... or if you ask I can just box up some you might like.
Tonight we dine with the "jolly Bengali" Oh, and if you know how to fix my TiVo please contact Bill; my sad 8 channels just got sadder now that I can pause rewind and fast forward them.

One year
one down a life time to go. I am posting this now because, well, I will probably forget to this weekend. This year has gone by fast. I can't believe that a year ago I was running around getting last min things, writing names on place"cds" and generally acting crazy. Looking back I wouldn't have changed a thing.
Also a congrats to M&J who are getting there stuff in moving trucks today and to a different M&J who are headed back east. I hope your moves will make you all happy.

Rain rain rain
Complain complain complain.
Yes it has been nasty raining since about 7pm last night. right now it is just drizzling out there but at about 5am Bill and I woke up to the LOUDEST RAIN EVER. yes it sounded like the sheer force of the rain itself was going to break the windows in the bedroom. then there was the lightning what with the booms that kept shaking the house.
Now I grew up in a family that took a bit too much precaution with the tornado warnings... camping in the basement when ever a warning was issued for our area. And, therefore, I sat up for about 75% of last night waiting to hear the warning sounds and wondering if a sheet would protect me from shards of glass when either the rain broke the window or the wind did.
Then to top off my restless sleep our train was about 30 min late today. So, today I will complain about the rain and the train. (and yes the rain in Spain falls mainly on the unlucky s.o.b.s that don't have umbrellas)
