Oooompfh

This week has gone by in an odd blur for some reason.
Saturday (10/4) was the day of Diesels in the Desert an event that Shawn helped to plan before we up and moved to OK. We are lucky to have made the friends that we have here in Oklahoma as Jory is in a band with his friend Shane (Possum Pecker Band) they are hiliarious!! They were playing at a restuarant in Mulhall which is about 40 miles away. Sarah and her kiddos rode with us for a night of comfort food (fried pickles anyone?!)and great tunes. Half way there Shawn gets a call from work that they need him to run a hotshot to Houston the next day (Sunday). Luckily I am still unemployed and able to make the roadtrip with him which we just expected to be a quick there and back sort of thing, but of course the tools in Houston that he was supposed to bring back were not ready so we were gone until Tuesday morning. Thank you to the wonderful Smiths for watching Choco n Lily for us!!!
All this week I have been fretting that Shawn is not going to be home next Saturday for my 30th birthday, thankfully the rig that he was supposed to be sent to has been cancelled and he will just be in OKC this next week working in the shop. Normally I do not make a big deal out of my birthday, but for some reason something is just brewing inside me (FEAR!!!!) of turning 30 and I dont have my family or Arizona friends to console me (I can only imagine what Jess would come up with to add to the horror since she made me cry when I turned 25 and she pointed out that I was a quarter of a century OLD!). Poor Shawn is desperately trying to figure out what to get me for the big 3-0, he has offered a new Coach bag??? A Wii?? We are supposed to go to a party on Saturday down in SE Oklahoma, Diesels in the Heartland so that ought to be interesting to meet a few people from the truck group that we are members of. I will have to try and remember to get some pictures!
Most everyone I know is aware of the fact that I am a HUGE clutz, so knowing this about me I have decided to share what I think is the highlight of the week!! I got home from walking and hopped in the shower to wash off the sweat before going out to dinner. Ya know when you prop your foot up on the edge of the tub to shave your legs or wash your feet??? Yeah well I seem to have underestimated how slippery my foot was cause next thing I know my head has smacked the shower wall, my knee has bashed the edge where my foot was and my hip is throbbing and I am laying in the tub like I just slide into 1st base. I was SAFE!!! Poor Choco heard the commotion and was barking up a storm, after laying there for a second realizing what the heck just happened I cant help but crack up cause I wasnt concerned about cracking my head open, I was concerned about my hair getting wet!! This morning I wake up and my foot is bruised around my ankle, my knee is bruised...and I am stiff as hell! Guess I should just count my blessings that I havent fallen on the stairs...yet!
