I had a nice quiet weekend planned. Get the bills & such caught up with DH worked then relax and watch the Olympics with him and enjoy no lil dude. But NOOOO The phone rings and it's my brother looking for DH and I asked if he wanted me to call DH and ask him to call my brother. My brother tells me he is looking for someone to go to the Dave Matthews concert with him. I call DH and he is too busy working and won't get home in time to go.....he tells me to go. I thought yeah right.. with a bum ankle?!?! In lawn seats at Alpine?!?! Long story short I got ready and I went, trooper that I am!! I even got a shoe on for the first time since June! I did alot better than I thought and we had a blast! I sat when I got tired and stood when I could.... enjoyed the night and the time with my brother. DH told me to get a shirt and I got one he probably won't wear since the last two are more male looking :) I got him a sticker for his van. The cool part about going to the concert with my brother is he somehow gets the download of the actual concert and burns me a cd, so I can relive the evening's music anytime! Wish the cd was finished - I have a long drive to Chicago ahead of me tonight for a meeting tomorrow morning. Looking forward to a nice quiet bubblebath in the hotel and the king sized bed all to myself. I finished knitting a pillow for my ankle as now I'm in Physical Therapy 3 times a week and I have to keep it up or at least level at work. The footstool gets hard after awhile so I needed a cushion. It works!!
On a sad note I also got news that my BFF lost her dad over the weekend. They finally got him moved up here from Arkansas last month and his health was a lot worse then they were led to believe. I will be heading up to the Chicago burbs again on Thursday to pay respect to a man that most of my young life I was afraid of! He had a VERY dry sense of humor that as a kid I didn't understand. He was a great family man and I know he will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
