And the Darwin Award Goes To...

Believe it or not sitting around the house, eating everything in site and watching TV does get old. I can't even believe I just said that!! As you know I have been recovering from foot surgery over the past five days. It would have been great if I could have left the house and walked around the park or something. Nope, I was cooped up in the house like a shut in. Now I know how dogs feel when company comes over. I was so happy when friends would come to visit. I was even happier when they brought food! I was getting cravings like a pregnant woman. One friend brought over some Popeye's Chicken. I swore to her that I wouldn't touch that stuff because it was too greasy. After smelling it for five seconds I pretty much inhaled it. Another friend was kind enough to bring over some beer after I called and told him I was jonesing for one! God bless my next door neighbor for the Swedish fish. But girlfriend, you didn't have to bring over 2 pounds! I think I've already eaten a pound!!!!

This morning all that is over because it is my first day back at work. I would like to share with you one of my Darwin award nominating moments from this morning. Taking a shower! Since I can not get the bandages wet I have to cover my foot in a plastic bag. Being ghetto I don't have one of those fancy shower bags for the foot. No, I have a Target bag and neon shoe string. So I'm walking around with this Target bag on my foot tied up with shoe string and I get in the shower. Picture this. I have the Target bag foot elevated on the rim of the tub (I don't trust that the shoe string will keep a water tight seal). I'm balancing myself on the other foot which is still in pain and due for surgery in about three weeks and I'm holding the shower head with one hand while trying to soap with the other. It's amazing I'm still alive! Can't you see my dumb ass slipping and hitting my head on the fixture or something? Note to my family: If this does happen please make sure you sue Target for making defective plastic bags. Regardless of that I made it to work just fine... I'm ready to go back home now.
