dumb, dumb, dumb

you'd think at my age that i would have learned to be careful.

in a fit of impatience, i went around the side of our dinner table where all the cords for andrew's computer are. hand full of plate. it happened in slow motion...all i remember is the plate flipping through the air....the sound of it bouncing and finally shattering...thinking, "cool, now i get to buy new dishes."

i've got a break in one bone and a possible chip or something on the edge of another. DOH!!!

what a stupid way to break a bone. i don't even have a cool story. i'm going to make up something about rock climbing in squamish....

(andrew says i have to mention the break is in my elbow. so you can imagine how challenging it is trying to do anything for davey. i'm such an idiot. i hope i learned my lesson!)

AAANNNNDREEEEAAAAAAA!

Oh-my-dog. I almost died when I read your email about your arm. Thanks for the kind words about my father-in-law's passing ... and yes, your elbow story DID cheer me up. It's not nice to laugh at people when they've hurt themselves, but it was sorta funny. And you told me that I might chuckle, so I guess it's okay that I gaffawed -- out LOUD -- and everyone in Gary's family now knows that my dear friend Andrea with the 8-month-old baby has a broken arm. My mother-in-law wishes you well (she's a total sweetie).

Can we sign your ARM, even without the cast? That would be cool. Breaking ANY bone sucks -- but to do it with a Baby Davey to tend -- ooohhhh, you poor creaure, you. JUST MILK IT. I would. :P Oh, and get some Tylenol #3 and tell Andy he gets to baby-tend while you're in LaLaLand. That's what I would do. But then again, I'm a bad influence. Don't listen to me. Sorry.

I truly hope your arm feels better soon. We should get together before the bruises turn green or yellow so we can shower you with sympathy and Starbucks, our treat.

I am so behind the times. Didn't have a chance to read your blog for a couple of weeks, and am so sorry to be yakking away to you without realizing you've been injured. Hope it heals quickly. I thought you were typing one-handed cuz you had a kid on your lap. Duh. Get better.
