I fell down.

I told Jess my falling down story, she asked if I blogged about it. Yes, I did, but on MySpace, so because she doesn't read my much happier blogs over there (I save the sad stuff just for ya'll!), she said I must post it here.

I picked Gabby up from her dad's, and on the way out the car, I stepped on a crack wrong...twisted my ankle and went flying through the air. Almost literally. Well, that makes it sound graceful...maybe just tumbling and rollilng describes it better. All the while thinking in slow motion, "You're falling. You're really going to fall, dumbass! How did this happen? No, really, you're actually tripping and falling!"

I twisted my ankle bad, but I've iced it...as well as my wrist, and the pain as subsided a bit. On top of that I have a scab on my knee...I scraped the skin off a couple of toes, and the nail polish off my big toe. I think there might be a scrape on my elbow as well. How does this happen!!!??? It was quite embarrassing, especially when all of Gabby's aunts and cousins came running out...oh, yea, and when the guy across the street got in his car and drove by, then leaned out the window to ask if we needed help...that was humiliating as well.

So, that happened after I had a pretty good day. Saw 27 Dresses...and had a White Cherry Icee!

Going to bed. It's late...and I just think about stuff too much on the weekends. I need my weekly structure...BADLY! I can't wait to go to work tomorrow!

I was all sorts of confused!!! Now that I know that's your birthday, I WON'T forget! Jess' husbands b-day is the 10th, and I knew I had forgotten it!

I can't believe that you forgot! Zook's is tomorrow and we ALWAYS celebrated our birthday's in the office. We LOVED it--so much fun. Like my 30th when they completely covered my car with black crepe paper and put signs all through the halls--and hung the buzzard over my desk. Classic.

All Iced In

In case anyone has been watching the weather for the whole country...you will know that here in sunny San Antonio, we have been having some very out of the ordinary weather. We got iced in for the last two days. Not snowed in...It's all ice. Snow to the north, but all we got was freezing rain. I was cracking ice off my car with a wooden flip-flop keychain, seeing as how I don't own an ice chipper or whatever you call them, because this isn't usually a problem. Gabby got to have two ice days from school. I have spent the last almost 72 hours in my house, and I'm literally going crazy!!! I just had to get over to my mom's today so I could do something different for a change. The roads are much safter, but watch out for the ice flying off of cars! I'm not exaggerating at all when I say that a chunk of ice the size of a passenger side car window came hurling at me! It was kind of scary. Or the ice falling from the power lines...that's kind of scary, too. But, th...

Pretty Decent Weekend

I went out Friday night, and....I met someone. We really, really hit it off. I think some of you who know me really well would be shocked at how good looking he is. His name is Paul, he's 29, and he's only been in San Antonio for about a week. Anyway, we talked all night, I drank a little too much, and so did he, so the night didn't actually end that well because there was an argument between him and Andrea. I thought he was a little rude, and also maybe he would be scared off. But we were texting last night, and we're going to meet up next Friday. I really do think he should apologize to Andrea first though. Although, I'm so green with this dating thing...I almost think that's too much to ask when you're getting to know someone. I don't know, you tell me. Saturday I pretty much did nothing but recover. And then Sunday, Andrea, Gabby, and I went hiking. We did a Level 4 out of 5 trail for an hour and a half. I'm not sure how many miles it...

Last one for tonight, I PROMISE!!!

It's official...I've finally decided what it is...I think the background for my posts is too dark. I don't like the way pictures show up on it...I love the whole ocean/beach theme thing because it really fits me, but I think I need something sunny, brighter...I love the picture with the mermaid because it's all bright and stuff, and so is the sidebar, but the dark, navy-ish blue just isn't doing it for me. I don't like the way my posts "look"...I think it reminds me too much of my teenage angst years, when at 14 or 15 I turned everything in my room into navy blue, and put up the darkest navy blue curtains...close enough to being black, it looked like I lived in a tomb, and I couldn't stand it after awhile...It actually contributed to my depression. That's why now, I don't even have curtains...I would much rather have the morning sun come blaring through my windows...That's what I need here...I've figured it out...
