Riblet

So I didn’t have the greatest day off ever, but I came out being thankful in the end. I'm also thankful my mother was in town, or I'm not sure I would've gone into the doctor! I found out I have a locked rib. Hurts to breath, move, cough, but I’m so thankful it didn’t turn out to be a problem with my heart like I thought it was because that's where the pain seems to be located. Just waiting for anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxer to begin working. Back to the doctor Tuesday. Again, just thankful for the doctor’s knowledge of what was wrong. He didn’t need to run expensive tests or X-rays, and hopefully he’ll be able to help get my rib back in place. Until then, my given nickname is now McRib. Riblet is also now added to the list….thanks Victor.

Ice Cream Paint Job

So I took my sister to a movie last weekend and before we went in we decided to leave our huge purses in the car and only take what we needed. While digging around in our gigantic suitcases we call purses and finding everything but what we were looking for I proposed that we have a contest to see which of us had the most random thing in our purse. Being the nice sister I am I let Amanda go first. She peered into her bag, took stock of her ammo, then looked back at me and nonchalantly states: “Hot Wheels.” Then she looks at me with a look like “what you got girl?” I look at her in disbelief until she pulls out three miniature sport cars, two with custom paint jobs. “You win.” Seriously, unless you are a 4 year old boy or a mother of a young boy, you shouldn’t have Hot Wheels in your purse, pocket, or suitcase! But that’s my sister for you. And who has time to paint them??? Apparently my sister’s teachers need to assign her more homework for study hall. Just kidding sister! Love you ~

Skipping Town

So I was chewed out by my cousin Natalie for not blogging…..she’s always good for a swift kick in the butt ;) Thank you dear. I have a lot to be thankful for this past year and I need to make the time to document it for myself!

I had a rough last week. Work was very frustrating, and by Saturday evening I’d had enough~ I feel bad now for those customers who were unfortunate enough to come across me in my last hours of work. JK, I was decent…. I jokingly mentioned hopping in the car and getting out of town in hopes that it would remove me from my bad mood. Surprisingly Victor, my boyfriend, excitedly agreed we should and so we were off right after work. We went to Sioux Falls to do a little Christmas shopping and try a restaurant neither of us had ever tried before.

I entered the Magical world of Best Buy and was able to hold the Canon 5D Mark II in my hands for a few moments in time. *Sigh* ~Drool~...hold on let me clean that up....whatever it's useless, I'll just keep drooling. and saving!!! Victor thought he was going to have to pry the camera body from my hot little hands, but I was able to hand it over under my own power. (Not before I named it, kissed it, and promised it I would return for it!) Harrold’s Camera was fun too, and the people there were so nice! I will definitely go back to do business there as there is not a lot offered in A-town. Artz has always been nice and helpful, but Harrold’s actually had more product to hold and get a feel for before you buy.

Victor and I enjoyed a nice walk on one of the last really nice days in the fall, and I couldn’t resist snapping just a few pics of him. And I see he got one of me…I think I smell a second shooter in the making! WHAT?!?!?!?!?
