GO TIGERS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These Are a Few Of My Favorite Texts..

So recently, I was having issues with my phone,the same issues that caused me to have to get a replacement not that long ago. Anyway, fearing that they would have to once again give me a replacement(Shock! I was right! These would have been lost forever), I thought to take note of my favorite text messages that I hated the thoughts of losing. Some of these I love for obvious reasons, some due to circumstance or timing, and still others just because they simply make me smile. So here they are. Names have been witheld to protect the innocent. HA

07/08 Random Smile List

2007

1. Lucero was the last band I saw in 07' and the first in 08'. Yippee! Love them. That was one heck of a fun concert.

2. Getting a B in my dreadfully tough Anatomy and Physiology 2 class. And....whipping out the truth to the entire class including the professor when I kept getting evolution slapped in my face. Boo ya! Oh, and not barfing while dissecting kitty. :(

3. The Thursday night meeting September 21st when Tommy announced a number and asked if it meant anything to anyone and then told us it would to dad because it was his new pioneer number. Then came mom's announcement......followed by Tina's.....and ending with mine. Tommy was so sneaky sneaky not telling us beforehand.

4. The Spencer's bringing over all manner of goodies for our house from theirs when my foot was broken. This included a corner cabinet and Ficus tree. Not only do they give us these, but deliver them! Service with a smile too. :)

5. Standing up for myself, sticking to my guns, and keeping my pride intact on one very important and hard occasion.....and not fainting.....

6. The burnt orange mums that mom got me when I broke my foot.

7. Working our cans off at the Assembly Hall and having my eyes opened to what will really make me happy. And all of the people that we have met because of it-YIPPEE!

8. The fam's first official quickbuild together.....even though I was on crutches. And then getting our assignments.

9. Getting to be at Music Fest with Kaetlyn, having her stay at our house, and the thoughts of her loving my eyeliner and using it every day.

10. Going to an Elvis concert! Ok, well almost..... He was the closest thing to Elvis I've ever seen or heard. (James Aaron Kelley)

11. My wonderful Florida vacation

12. Buying myself an iPod of my own!! Whoo hoo!

13. Tina getting happy again...sigh....

14. Being on our own for a whole year......How did this happen? :)

15. Getting Mr. Brister, Fizgig, Lil' Peanut, my dog. He's one big dopey baby. And I do mean big.

16. Granpa coming to mom and dad's almost every day since granny died. I've come to really look forward to him being there. Love that man.



2008

1. 1-11 Pioneer Day. Whoa nelly, I forgot how incredible those meetings were. I never want to stop.

2. 1-3 Getting my boot off. I've not made it in to heels yet, but I am wearing two, count em' two, shoes!! Yay!

3. Seeing the Foo Fighters again....for free. Oh, but then we had to pay all that money for parking...oh wait, no it was free too. Well, at least the only thing I had to buy was a beer and a pretzel. Never mind, that was free too. Thanks!! Yessssssssssssss.

4. Getting our treadmill. And getting it for not $190 as it was marked, but $156. I love that thing!....And that Tina and I are using it.

5. Tina paying off her credit cards. Sweeeeeeeet!

6. The Tigers being number 1!..and staying there!! Yay!!!!!

7. Turning in my application for nursing school and my letter that explains why I want in the program. It was weighing on me like a pink elephant, and by golly it just felt wonderful to turn the thing in just imagining that I might get in.

and finally:

8. 2-1 Drinking an AB as I'm filling the rest of this out. That makes any day a good day!


Tina will shank me if I don't give her props for the idea of a listy post. So here you are-your props :)

Joy, Jubilation, and Joey!!!!!!

Yes! That's me and #3 Joey Dorsey from the Memphis Tigers basketball team! Tina and I both have small crushes on him. Here's how this picture happened. Tina and I decided to go downtown to see a movie for the first time in forever. We saw 'I Am Legend' which was pretty dark but very good. So, we're walking to the theater, and I am decked out in my Tiger gear fully representin' with my shirt that you see here and my belt that says, "Go Tigers Go" over and over. And so this ginormously tall lurvly man walks by us and looks at me and says "Hey, good job representing the Tigers" and smiled and walked past us. So, I say, "YEAH-EH!" (wow-that was clever..yeesh) and as we're walking on, it finally clicks that, holy scnhikees, that was Joey Dorsey. And as I go to tell Tina this epiphany, I look at her and she has her mouth draped open and this goofy look on her face which needless to say certified that she knew who he was before I did. So then, we decide that we need to chase him down and get our picture with him. So we fly out the back door and begin the hunt. I'm still in my boot mind you. He crosses the street and makes it through a parking lot in record time, namely because he has 20' long, muscular, strong, built, rippling...oh um, sorry.....legs whose 2 steps equal about 20 of ours, maybe 25 for me because of my dumb hobble boot. Anyways, I just can't catch up and so I tell Tina to run after him and holler for him, but she is pretty worthless cuz she's giddy like a little school girl. So we lose him. We walk back in to get our movie tickets and hang our heads in shame and disappointment. Throughout the whole movie we would randomly look at each other and stick out our lips and say "Doh!" So then, we're walking out of the movie and guess who's getting a pretzel at the concession stand? Yes, that's right, it's our boy, Joey. Yippee! Commence dazed and confused stance for Tina again, except this time she manages to mumble to me, "Go get! Me want picture, too scared to get. You go talk" or well at least something along those lines and so I hobble up to him and say, "Joey, I'm gonna be obnoxious and ask if I can get my picture with you." Tina is standing safely at a distance next to a column. And he says, "Yeah, sure." So I start to talk to him like a retard. I almost called his coach Calimari(what we regularly call him) and fumbled words. But I call Tina over and she says, "I'll get your picture with him." And I say, "Ok, cool and then I'll get yours with him." And she says, "Heehee no...I'll just get yours hee hee" and he looks at her and says, "You don't want your picture with me?? :( " and she says,"Ok!" and thus the following......


I also asked him to sign a book for us. Tina and I walked away with our heads held high and our cheeks flush.

I'm Goin Old School

So I too, have felt the need to put a video on my blog being all the sudden excited about my fellow bloggers ones. But first, here is a fun little list of the shows I loved when I was a kid/youngerish person in no particular order.

1. Inspector Gadget (this ran from 83-86!) "Doo da doodadoo inspector gadget...hah hah!!"

2. Legends of the Hidden Temple (not a cartoon-but I luuuved this one) Featuring your good friends Kirk Fogg and Olmeck the rock head

3. Fraggle Rock(83-87) "Oooooh! A Fraggle! huh huh...Look ma! I got a Fraggle!"

4. The Littl' Bits(91-95)

5. Tiny Toon Adventures(90-92)"We're tiny, we're tooney, we're all a little looney. We're tiny toons adventures. Come and join the fun........and now our song is done."

6. Aaahh!! Real Monsters(94-98)

and finally..........

7. Ren and Stimpy(91-98) "I'll teach your grandmother to suck eggs!"

And a video for anyone out there that's not happy enough:
may it be stuck in your head too

My Cast.My Cast.My Cast Has Been Fired.

Here are some of the shots I got of my cast signatures. It ended up being 45 strong. :)
Ok, I just got back from the Orthopaedic surgeon and he cut off my cast! A witness guy we know put it on and he was the one who cut if off today too. He told me that it would really tickle but uh, I had no idea how true those words would be as he started sawin'. Holy. Schnikees. I laughed out loud and kept apologizing to him but he just laughed at me. And I'm not even ticklish!(Mostly) I can't imagine how bad Tina would be.....And as he's cutting it off he's telling me the horror story of what it's gonna look like and how it's gonna be absolutely covered in dead skin and horrible looking. I'm terrified. But once he cuts it off, it's surprisingly "smoove" lookin and he even commented on how flaky free it was. "Why sank you doctah!" The leg hair growth was indeed frightening as suspected. But it was in the weird patches that mine and Tina's leg hair grows in cuz of our "Ingine" heritage. The foot is a lot smaller than the other and still really blue and beat up looking. And I am now restrained in the boot that must stay on at all times. Let's have a moment of silence for my cast. Ok, I'm over it now. Ha. I hated that dang thing! But no, the other foot is not broken Heddo. Thank. The. Lord. And we DID just talk about that! I would have died. But I have to wear this great super lace up dominatrixy loooking ankle brace. So I am looking like some hot stuff is what I'm basically trying to convey here. I took a ton of pictures of my cast before my appointment today that I will post later. I have another appointment in two weeks on the same day I have opted to take the NLN for entrance in to the nursing program. Is this a bad choice? Am I perhaps packing too much in to my crippled little day?? Maybe so...but that's how I hobble................

Um, this would be Aaron's reaction to seeing my foot out of my cast for the first time. What a friend. Haha

"It's Not Broken. Just Put Some Ice On It!"

Well, after:

1)just and I mean just discussing in class the effects of Vicodin and me opening my fat trap to say that I'd never had any prescribed to me for any reason

2) bragging openly about having never broken a bone(except my collar bone(clavicle-YES! I have learned something in school!) when I was a wee moose)

3) secretly being envious of anyone that broke a limb in school that got to get a "cool" cast that people could sign and what not

and

4) thinking that getting my time was actually somewhat easy the first two months......

I broke my dang foot. And the extremely exciting story of how it happened follows. I was over at a friends house, sitting on the carpeted floor indian style, watching Grey's Anatomy, and I (stupid me) went to stand up the same way I have done for years by starting on the outside of my feet and then rolling them in to a flat position without using my hands, and heard (and um felt) my bone crack. Yes, that's right. I broke my foot standing up from the floor. So now I have this great tie dye cast on my dumb foot. I broke my 5th metatarsal and as my orthopaedic surgeon said while looking at my x-rays, I "got it good girl!" Yee haw!

So now, I am stuck at the house and I am pretty much totally reliant on everyone in my poor family(mostly poor Tina) and everyday tasks have become annoying chores. I conjured up a way of washing my hair the other day that was I'm pretty sure worse than any workout video I've ever done, especially under the influence of the healing cuckoo crack drug they've given me.And I actually got extemely excited when I was able to shave my legs. It's the small things....

I can't carry anything anywhere because I have these crutches I have to tote along with me everywhere. Going to class is one big hoot and a half. There is all this dang construction going on and they've closed off mostly all the walkways and forced us all to go a bazillion miles out of our way.(Yessssssss) I actually attempted hauling my 3 ginormo books in their big ol bag along with my purse to class the other day and had to stop and rest 4 times before reaching my final destination. On the way however, a man was rolling closer and closer to me on the walkway in a handy golf cart and proceeded to 1)not look to have any sort of handicap other than sheer laziness 2)get insanely close to me and my crutches and 3)fly past me without looking back. Chivalry pivalry....Once I finally made it to class, I was so hot and exhausted I was ready to go back home.

I've been able to use the ever so handy electric shopping carts at both the Kroger and Sams Club. I dunno if any of you have ever hooked yourself up with one of those things, but they are sweet! They move at a tortoises pace, but are quite useful.

I must say, that the most exciting part of this whole ordeal is imagining what my leg will look like when I get the cast taken off. WOOF. As a friend said last night, "It'll be like a hairy cuff on your lower leg!" Whoo hoo! :-/
