Because updates are usually of the good
Sep. 9th, 2009 12:39 pmI LIIIIVE.
I was also out of town last week on --wait for it-- VACATION. OMG! Basically Mom was teetering on the brink of a nervous breakdown, and was talking about getting away for a few days. I mentioned Amelia Island and she jumped on it, placed a rental deposit on an oceanfront cottage and then was like, "Um. I didn't want to go alone, so I figured you and George would come too." My mother. Socute.
So, yes, we went and made it a family thing. Mom had ample relaxation time, and she came back totally refreshed (she really needed the break too, gawd). My uncle (who is normally an enormous douchebag) was going to be in town from CA anyway and he said he'd stay with Gramps. (Which sounds great on paper, but... well, a douchebag can't change its spots... or something. We came back to find out that the idiot didn't want Mom's dogs sleeping in the same bed as him, so he. LOCKED. THEM. IN. THE. GARAGE. OVERNIGHT. GRAR.)
But anyway, we were gone from 8/27-8/31 and I have scads of pictures that I will upload at some point.
Oh, and during the trip I chipped a tooth. Bodyboarding. Which I haven't done in upwards of ten years -- the bodyboarding, not the tooth-chipping. It's not really visible and it doesn't hurt, so while I have every intention of seeing a dentist, it's not a huge, screaming priority. Basically a rogue wave took my by surprise and my jaws clamped together really hard with the force. But I'm okay and I'll get it looked at soon.
Oh, and this past Thursday I broke my baby toe. While shopping. (In the Shopping Cart vs. Piggy Toe Showdown, the cart won.) I think I get extra irony points for having been SHOE SHOPPING at the time. Aaaand I will probably lose the nail, which kind of terrifies me, because I've never lost a toenail before. Sigh.
In much more fun news, I started trying to teach the dogs that neato "balance the treat on your nose" trick today. They both got it once (out of probably ten tries), but it was all fun anyway. Sydney did better than I expected -- once she stopped trying to give me her paw every time I tried to set the treat on her nose.
Also? OMG MIAMI BEAT FSU MONDAY. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN. LIKE. THREE YEARS? AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! GO CANES!!!!!!
