Random samplings from the "Good Life"...: July 2008

Update--cankle time.

Here's my cankle day 2. It looks much worse than this now--black and blue and way more swollen, but it feels better.

With my boot, I can actually walk a bit. I'm down to one crutch! Woohoo!!!

On a better note: I've been at the Mancuso house for 10 glorious days!!! My friend Megan is my new Val (of Val and Chris fame). I found myself homeless for a month in between waiting on my new apartment to be ready and staying at Nancy's place in DC which she got a renter for. I am loving it here!!! My friends are awesome! The boys (they have 2--7 and 5) are fun! The food is great! And the accommodations are LOVELY. I have no idea how I can ever re-enter society again. :)

I got a present at the beach...

I went to Rehoboth Beach on Saturday afternoon w/ Michelle. We met Susan, Lisa J. and Nathan there. Had an early nite on Saturday and got up for breakfast and the beach on Sunday. Made it to breakfast. Not quite to the beach. Long story short, I broke my ankle on this curb near the boardwalk. I had JUST fed the meter $13 in quarters. Spent the day in the ER then drove home. Fun times. I broke my fibia. Or tibia. Whichever is the smaller of the two. Chipped the bottom of it off and ripped some tendons. In 6-8 weeks I should be back to normal. In a week, I should be sans crutches and able to walk in the boot no problem. In the meantime, lots of laying on the couch. Good times. :) The great news is that I can take off the boot when I go to the pool--so no tan interruptions!!! Wahoo!

What happens in Vegas....

So much has happened since I last posted. I'm now living at Megan and Pat's in Sterling and working from home. It's FABULOUS. They are precious hosts and it's so comfy here. Having fun w/ their boys, Jake and Max. I've been sick for 3 days, so that has stunk, but I'm on the upswing now!! I got back from Vegas on Friday evening. Went back to Nancy's and slept all nite and 1/2 the day on Saturday. Spent Saturday afternoon and evening w/ Anne and met up w/ Lisa J. for "Mama Mia." Sunday did chruch and lunch w/ the usual peeps and then headed out west to the Mancuso's casa. Here I am. More, in-detail stories to follow, but in the meantime, check out the Vegas Mansion I lived in....
