Cow Girl

Okay, I will admit it. I have sort of had a crush on Chris Cagle for years. He has been on my list of "artist to see in concert" for years. Those of you that know me know that it is very strange for me to have a celbrity crush. After all, celebrities are famous because of regular old people like you and me. Anyways.... Chris had that typical stocky body type that I like and an amazing voice...so...what is not to like?

On Wednesday I went to Walla Walla with my parents (yes I am 30, but I still have fun with Mom and Dad) to see Chris Cagle and Tracy Lawrence in concert. Both artists sounded exactly like their albums, had great stage presence, and overall gave an amazing show. Even Mom and Dad liked the concert. I sang along to every song (careful not to be too loud so that the people in front of me didn't have to listen to my stellar singing voice) and even danced in my seat.

The only downer was the guy and gall in a rhinestone cowboy hat a few rows in front of us that refused to sit down. Let's just say the guy made a better door than a window. Finally we got so annoyed we had security ask them to sit down. They finally did sit down after standing through one more song just to prove that they had free will (or some other lame @ss point they were trying to prove- maybe their lack of intelligence).

So...one more goal check off my list of things to see in my life.

Doh! I didn't see this coming.

So...I went to the podiatrist yesterday because my ankle has been bothering me for about 5 months. I know, I know...I should have gone in sooner. After being poked, prodded, and x-rayed. The doc drops a bomb. I need surgery. Suddenly they are coming at me with a gigantic black walking cast. Whoa!!!

"I am going hiking in Colorado next week."

The doc looks at me sympathetically. I am downgraded to an ankle brace. (Which by the way seems to make my ankle hurt more).

Apparently I have some extra bone in my ankle and at some point I injured it and now I have bone rubbing on bone. (Don't worry Mom, I didn't mention that it is a birth defect/genetic defect). For some reason it hurts more now that I know what is wrong, I am sure it is all in my head. I have a CAT scan on the 22nd and I am getting a second opinion on the 25th.

:o( I want to be running, playing, hiking, working out, doing my footwork during pilates. Super Sad. My only hope is that I will be put back together in time for ski season.

The Ultimate Sin

I did it, twice, and I am not proud..... I went to Wally World. The first time was out of necessity. My cat was completely out of cat food and Wal-Mart was the only place in town that carried her specific type of cat food. Normally I would have just switched foods, but my can has very specific digestive concerns (see some earlier blogs about my constipated cat). I considered driving to CDA to pick up some food, but thought the price of driving there and back just wouldn't make sense.

The second time I went to buy an atlas. You just can't get an altas cheaper. Plus....and here is the kicker...they have a Wal-Mart/Sam's Club directory in them. Doesn't that make you want it more.

OMG...I have sunk so low.
