Latest and Greatest...

I cannot take all the credit, it was found on another's blog and I also heard it was on the view, but it is taking up all my time and I love it. Go to myheritage.com and you can see what celebrities you look like. It is the coolest. I looked like Billy Crystal, Jennifer Garner, Mischa Barton, an old 18th century guy (could not pronounce his name), and a few others. They were all pretty right on though. Your turn...

Viewer discretion is advised...

After about a month of pain; enduring people stepping on my toe and trying to cut through my skin every night to get the sucker out, I finally went to the doctor and had him take out my ingrown toe nail. It was quiet the experience. He deadened my toe with three shots and cut half my toe nail off and pulled it out. He then explained to me why I should cut them the right way and how they are caused, it makes so much sense now. I was instructed not to take the wrap off my toe until the next day and so I followed directions, of course.
The next day. I got up the next morning and proceeded to get in the shower. This was the time I could take off the wrapping and was very curious to see what it looked like underneath. First off, you must know that my dad passed down to me the great fainting ability when you see something that disgusts you or a huge amount of blood, both of these things happened, but not until I got in the shower. At first I thought it was very neat and checked it out, feeling very proud that I was not getting light headed. Then, I got in the shower and put shampoo in my hair and looked down and thought half of my toe nail is off and it looks sick at that moment I began to blackout and knew what I had to do, get out and fast. I pulled back the shower curtain and laid on the bathroom floor in the buff, with the water still running. It was a very funny experience and as I lay there I began to laugh out loud and thanked my dad for the fainting hand me downs. I am fine now, do not worry and the bathroom has been cleaned. However, the toe looks pretty nasty. For those that are still reading, thanks for letting me share my story, gross as it may have been.

It's Been A While...

Where to start?
I have been a slacker and thought about posting many times, but have had no funny stories or really anything to account for that has been worth telling and making people sit there and read. I will post more as the summer comes up b/c I am sure I will have many stories after the trips and not to mention Garza is coming here to work and that will just be awesome.
I went golfing for the first time ever. It was so much fun, but let us say I am not a candidate for the green jacket anytime soon. A good friend told me, "You will have a few good shots that keep you coming back to the course." That I did and instead of the course I will stick to the driving range until I feel comfortable.
On Friday night Beth and I went to Austin to a Matt Wertz concert. I must say he is a pretty good performer. I was able to eat dinner and attend the concert with Mija (Jen Perkins), Ros (Rosalyn Perry), and Ferika (Erika Watts). It was an absolute blast. Ferika made a comment, "Americans are so boring they just stand around and watch some guy perform for them, I want to dance." Those that know her well know that she then began dancing and did not stop for the rest of the concert. Let me set the stage. It was at a night club downtown Austin and I think we were the only few that did not have our hand stamped. Highschoolers flooded the place. It was a small, dark, crowded room, and I might be getting too old but it was freakin loud at least while Josh Hoge was performing and I hate to say it but he was terrible. The other two guys were pretty good and one Matt Kearney sounded a little like Coldplay. But the true highlight of my week was Ferika and Mija livening up the place and dancing for a long time while we stood there laughing at those around us giving them funny looks. It was priceless.
