"Ribbies"

So very sorry it has taken me this long, but I am back and with a new pair of shoes. New shoes always make me feel so special, like adopting a puppy or when I get a new friend that makes me feel amazing. I was in desperate need of new tennis shoes because my last pair were showing serious signs of wear. When I started to notice my own toe through the top of the shoe, I decided that it was time to retire them suckers.

I hate sporting good stores with a passion beyond comprehension. I do not know or even care to know why. My closest friends know that when they get that text from me about Big dragging me through Dick's or Sports Authority that it must be real love between us because it is painful for me. He was an athlete and still plays softball so we go in those stores a lot more than I would care to, but recently he trudged through a craft's store for me so I can do it. When I mentioned that I needed to go get some shoes and we were already going to Millington to visit my mother, his ears perked up big time. "Can we go to Hibbet's?", he said. I reluctantly said yes. It was okay. We got in and I tried on and bought a pair of shoes in under fifteen minutes. Record time for us.

I slipped them on Monday morning and felt somewhat new myself.

That feeling didn't last too terribly long because one morning this week, my sweet baby Tucker jumped leaped into our bed before I was completely conscious and somehow landed on me funny. I now have a hairline fracture to one of my ribs on the right side of my body. I have found out quickly that this injury is no laughing matter, literally. Laughing, which I do often, is very painful and no fun for me right now. I have had the hardest time sleeping. Last night I heavily medicated and hit the pillows hard. I slept through the night and it felt great. It is fine, just irritating.

I am thrilled about this weather! How about you guys?
