Ding, Dong..The Cast is GONE!!

I finally got my cast off! It feels so good to be out of that itchy, stinky, awkward thing. I am still unable to move my arm like I could before the break but it is getting better by the hour. Its so nice to shower and do dishes without the cast!

3 for ThUrSdAy!

1. Oh I love being and Aunt, and James loves being an uncle. Its hard for us to think of having our own because the "borrow and return" plan is so easy and so much fun!!!

2. Is Spring really going to come this year. I am ready for full time sun my flowers are so confused!

3. A dinner made for Cavemen. Ron and Wendy made Ribs for dinner I

think the only animals big enough to have a rib this size would be an Elephant, a rhino, or a T-Rex!!

ya thats one RIB!! James couldn't even finish one!

Three for Thursday

1. Happy Birthday Thomas-on the 20th
Thomas is a great kid with a great imagination. He asked me last weekend if James and I were going to have a baby, I am hoping he was just curious and that I don't "Look" like I am. Plus he is amazing at guitar hero. For some odd reason 9 year olds can move their fingers a lot faster than me.

2. I Kirby! the vacuum that is. James and I fell for some salesman's pitch...well we did talk him down but it was still a pricey purchase. But I LOVE it. I can vacuum with my stupid cast and with 2 dogs and spring shedding I am using it at least once a day. It sucks up spiders and I can stand at safe range. I don't even bother to sweep anymore, I just vacuum EVERYTHING. Oh I do love my KIRBY.

3. Happy 3rd Birthday to KYLA! I think it so great to watch my very-not-girly best friend raise a puffy, pink,purple, ribbon loving, lace, flowers and the works princess!! But Like I always tell her-"you get what you deserve!" But Kyla is an amazing three year old and I love her to pieces! Aunt Jawiss can't wait to see you, we do share a great love for the color PINK!

Three for Thursday

1. THIS WEEK IS JIM AND ANGIE'S WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. IT REMINDS ME OF HOW MUCH ANGIE TAUGHT ME. SHE WAS ALWAYS GIVING ME ADVICE ABOUT MARRIAGE AND LOVE. MY FAVORITE IS "LET YOUR MAN PLAY AND ENJOY THE HOBBIES HE LOVES...BUT WHEN YOU NEED THEM HOME TELL HIM, ITS TIME TO COME HOME!" ANGIE WILL BE FOREVER MISSED.

2. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUSTIN..TOMORROW. DUSTIN HAS BEEN A GREAT ADDITION TO OUR FAMILY. I REMEMBER WHEN HIM AND LINDSEY WERE DATING IN HIGH SCHOOL WE USE TO CALL HIM "CRUSTIN" WELL WE NEVER CALLED HIM THAT TO HIS FACE, SO SHORTLY AFTER THEY GOT MARRIED I SLIPPED AND CALLED HIM THAT. HE GAVE ME THAT SAD PUPPY EYED LOOK, BUT OUR TEASING WAS ALWAYS OUT OF LOVE.. AFTER ALL WITHOUT DUSTIN I WOULDN'T HAVE JATEN OR BRAXTEN!

3. I INTRODUCED JAMES TO PILLSBURY ROLLS, WELL HE HAS EATEN THEM MANY TIMES BUT NOW THAT I ONLY HAVE ONE HAND I ASKED HIM TO HELP ME OPEN IT. I LOOKED OVER...HE HAS A CAN OPENER HELD UP TO IT TRYING TO FASTEN IT ON TO"OPEN IT" I COULD NOT STOP LAUGHING! YOU GOTTA LOVE HIM

wow, is 27 the new 87...it sure feels like it!

WELL I AM STARTING TO GET USE TO THIS BLASTED CAST, ALTHOUGH I STILL HATE IT. BUT I AM ADAPTING (NOTICE ALL CAPITAL LETTERS) ALTHOUGH BY THE TIME I WENT FROM KIDNEY STONES TO A BROKEN ARM AND A SORE TAILBONE I FEEL OLD! ALL OF THIS ACCOMPANIED MY BIRTHDAY. THIS STRING OF LUCK BETTER NOT LAST THE WHOLE YEAR!

AND THEN TO ADD TO THIS JAMES HAD A NIGHTMARE THE OTHER NIGHT THAT HIS FRIEND JUSTIN WAS GETTING STABBED SO JAMES THREW THE GUY OFF OF HIM AND STARTED PUNCHING HIM. BEFORE HE COULD WAKE UP, I TOOK A BLOW TO THE FACE !THIS LEFT A CUT ON MY NOSE. IT REALLY DIDN'T HURT AT THE TIME BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK VERY GOOD. JAMES FELT SO BAD. I JUST HOPE THIS DOESN'T MEAN WE ARE GOING TO NEED SEPARATE BEDS IN THE FUTURE!!

ADDITION TO THE BUCKET LIST

WELL I HAVE FIGURED OUT SOMETHING I CAN ADD AND TAKE OFF OF MY BUCKET LIST. I AM GOING TO SPEND THE NEXT 30 DAYS USING ONLY MY LEFT ARM, TYPE WITH MY LEFT, WRITE WITH MY LEFT, EAT WITH MY LEFT, EVEN SHAMPOO MY HAIR WITH ONLY MY LEFT! WELL ACTUALLY I AM NOT CHOOSING TO DO THIS, IT CHOSE ME. I HAD A SMALL ACCIDENT WHILE SWING DANCING THAT INVOLVED A VERY FAST, VERY UNGRACEFUL FALL, THAT LANDED ME ON TOP OF MY RIGHT ARM AND THEN ON MY TAIL BONE. LUCKILY WE WERE ONLY 4 MILES FROM A HOSPITAL. JAMES RAN OVER AND TOLD OUR FRIENDS THAT I BROKE MY ARM AND THEN HE LEFT ME TO GET THE TRUCK. DAVE AND SHILA STARTED TO LAUGH UNTIL THE SAW HOW DISFIGURED MY ARM WAS. JAMES WAS DRIVING FAST AND IN AND OUT OF SALMON IDAHO TRAFFIC, AS IF I WERE IN LABOR. WE MADE IT TO THE ER AND THE CALLED IN AN ORTHOPOD, HE CAME FROM THE SAME DANCE HALL THAT WE HAD,( HE ACTUALLY SAW ME FALL BUT I GOT RIGHT UP SO HE DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT) THE ER NURSE ASKED "SO WHERE WERE YOU?" WELL I WAS AT SOME SMALL DANCE HALL IN SOME SMALL TOWN FOR A RETIREMENT PARTY. THEN SHE ASKED "WHO RETIRED" WELL ACTUALLY I DON'T KNOW....SEE OUR FRIEND RON (WHO MARRIED US) WAS PLAYING IN A BAND THAT PLAYED FOR THE PARTY SO JAMES AND I ALONG WITH OUR BEST FRIENDS DAVE AND SHILA WERE KINDA CRASHING IT. SHE STARTS TO LAUGH BY NOW I GUESS ITS NOT REAL COMMON TO CRASH RETIREMENT PARTIES! THEN SHE ASKED "WELL WHAT HAPPENED" SO I HAD TO TELL HER THAT JAMES I WERE DANCING WHEN A JONNY CASH SONG CAME ON, JAMES LOVES JOHNNY CASH SO WE REALLY STARTED MOVING JAMES WAS SWINGING ME AROUND AND THEN BEHIND HIS BACK WHEN I MISSED HIS HAND AND WENT FLYING BACK LANDING ON MY RIGHT ARM, LUCKILY WE WERE IN SALMON AND THEY WERE ABLE TO SET IT AGAIN WITH OUT SURGERY.

IN THE MEAN TIME IT REALLY SUCKS ONLY HAVING MY LEFT ARM, I AM SO THANKFUL FOR JAMES HE HAS BEEN A REAL TROOPER HE HAS TO PRETTY MUCH HAD TO DO IT ALL INLUDING DRESS ME AND DO MOST OF THE HOUSE CHORES. I'LL ADD PICTURES SOON WHEN MY HUNNY GETS TIME TO HELP ME UP LOAD THEM!
