Out of Commission

My tough 6 foot 1 hubby has broken his right foot. Seems kickball was a bit too rough this week and as he was sliding home, some player threw a ball at him which somehow made him kick the ground thus shattering some bones in his foot. Of course, we didn't find this out until last night at Urgent Care. My hero went to work yesterday, I am not sure how since he could barely walk. I guess he thought since I refuse to go to the doctor for my stomache he would refuse to go for his foot. But there is a big difference the doctors don't ever help me and he his foot may be damaged.

But by midday yesterday, he agreed he should go have a doctor look at his foot and told me he would go to Urgent Care near his work. He called me about 7pm and said he needed to come home and have me drive him to the doctor so they can put a splint on his foot. So back to urgent care we go.

We left with a perscription, two new crutches, bandaged foot in a splint and a xray that we had to check out to give to the specialist he is seeing today. I was so anxious, I got dizzy and felt like I had to throw up. All I could think about was how much pain he was in but apparently he said he was doing ok. Brian was in good spirits the whole time (as compared to when he limped into the house after his game) but I couldn't help but continue to worry.

I drove hime to work today and his buddies will take him to the doctor where he is likely to get a cast for 6-8 weeks. I am going to go pick him up later this afternoon and take him home. Then we have to figure out how he will get to and from work each day. Likely, I will take him in and pick him up. So it looks like we are carpooling buddies for a while.

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
