We had an awesome time last night, a “blast” as Adam puts it. We spent the afternoon and evening with good friends going to Omaha for a movie and good food. Surprisingly, they invited us even after we took care of their children and allowed them to “run-off” their energy on our treadmill. You may remember…We went to the wrong theater at first, a gorgeous ginormous theater. My eyes dilated as we pulled up at the site of the thing…we don’t get out much to the movies. In fact, I can honestly say that the last movie we went to was two years ago and in Lincoln at a smaller theater…this one was HUGE! Alas, it was the wrong one.
So we headed to the correct one and were saddened to see that it was, of course, much much much smaller…..and dated. People, the tickets cost $2.00 per person. It was a “family value theater”. As the husbands said, they didn’t remember EVER taking us out to a movie that cheap…even when were young and dating!!! When inside there were mirrors all around with weird old lights, reminded me of a county fair that if you looked at the lights just right you might have a seizure right then and there. There was a little old lady sitting right smack in the middle of things checking her blood sugar…strange (maybe she had too many milk duds). The snacks were the average price of other theaters and the seats and theater itself was A-okay I am happy to report, since we were there to see Sandy in the Blind Side. Adam loves her. Really loves her. He didn’t care for her as a blonde. But man, wasn’t that movie the best?!!! If only I can touch one person’s life like that in my lifetime I will be thrilled!
So, all in all the movie was not for lost. Sandy was great, the popcorn wasn’t burnt and there were no police guards in the lobby. Oh, yeah I forgot to mention that the last “small” theater Adam and I went to in Omaha there were police in the lobby and at the doors….I’m thinking we were in a bad neighborhood and we didn’t know it. Oh….and no seizures!
Next, we headed to awesome chow at Charleston’s. Never been but would recommend now to anyone!!! Great food and service. And, then we talked and talked and talked all the way home. It, was as this post started out saying…a great night.
I haven’t typed about it but this week has been a little tough going with the whole rapid fall down the stairs last Saturday. Surprisingly my fracture didn’t really bother me much the first few days. I think that is because every other muscle, tendon and ligament in my upper body did. I thought I was going to die, people. Seriously. Sunday morning I awoke and stared at the ceiling and thought….this is it…it hurt to breathe, you name it, all from the waist up. I must have stretched EVERYthing when I fell. Every little rib space, the breast bone and my pelvis hurt beyond belief. Monday and Tuesday sucked to say the least, Wednesday got a little better and I’ve been better since. Once my body started feeling better the arm started rearing it’s ugly head. I think I just hurt everywhere else so much that I didn’t notice it as much. But, seriously…if you decide you ever want to break a bone this is the way to do it. I pretty much have full function of my arm which is great. I put in an IUD this week, put on a cast, did some biopsies…basically functioned like normal. Sure, it pains a little but the main time it hurts is if my elbow is bumped and towards the end of the day and at night. Then it aches and stings and burns. Ice is my friend. I’ll take this over a cast any day. We re-xray’d it on Thursday and drats, it was still broken!
I have some pictures of #2 to post from her state bball last week maybe later today that we finally got done going through (I think there is some of #3-#6 also).
