New Shit Has Come to Light

Well, a lot has happened since you last heard from me…

I survived the 11-hour road trip on Friday with Sam. Last two hours were less than fun.

I survived another 3+ hour road trip on Saturday morning. Passed the time by counting the 56 cars in the ditch along the way. Also less than fun.

I partied for 13+ hours at my team’s football game/in my college town off 45 minutes of sleep the night before (and didn’t die).

I got in a few quality hours with the nieces, where I actually uttered the words, “Girls, you can’t tickle me. I might have to move my foot, and that might hurt my back.” I used to think I was the cool aunt.

I went on an all-day shopping trip with Maude and MamaG. Got those nieces hooked up, so ‘cool aunt’ status might be back again someday soon.

And then I fell off of a hoverboard, and sprained/jammed, and possibly fractured my arm. So now, Smokey G and I are in matching left arm slings (his still from his rotator cuff surgery a few weeks ago). It’s not a big deal, because Mama G isn’t preparing for the largest Thanksgiving crowd she’s ever had or anything. 19 people are showing up at the Goldenstein residence for lunch tomorrow, with another 9 showing up in the late afternoon, and for round 2. It’s high octane around here, people.
