Lea Anna's Rock Climbing Adventure

I have tried but I didn't make it through the summer without the obligatory E.R. visit. It was Little Miss Priss this time, who has a bad habit of climbing the rock facade outside our apartments. We have caught her in the act and have stopped her numerous times. Her adventure last night didn't go so well. Telling Gary she was going inside to get a drink, she ducked around the corner and made it half way up the wall before - clunk! So anyway, after much screaming and blood gushing out of her head, a trip the the local ER, another trip by ambulance (which she liked by the way, especially since she flashed those baby blues and got a dollar off one of the ambulance drivers) to Vanderbilt Children's E.R., and a nights worth of observation and two MRIs later, she ended up with a mild concussion and steri-tape instead of stitches on her little noggin. She is back in her usual form - she is now having a farting contest with Daniel and has learned her lesson about climbing the rock wall. For now at least. Now if someone can tell me where I can purchase a plastic bubble or at the least a full Kevlar body suit to encase her in, she just might survive into adulthood.

The Real Inconvenient Truth

Adventures in Suburbia

I have been going, going, going for the past couple of weeks, and now that it's all over so I'm going to crank the AC up and chill all weekend until I have icicles hanging off my nose. The heck with the electric bill. I know it's hot everywhere, but my goodness it was 107 degrees at 7pm Wednesday and has only been a few degrees cooler the past two weeks. Even with the constant warnings in the media, and with our dry crackly lawn, some genius threw a lit cigarette butt in our lawn and nearly set it on fire. And by the way, thank you Metro Nashville for implementing the "Standard School Attire" against parents wishes so I had to keep driving around town in this oven for two weeks trying to find size 8 khakis! Daniel does look sharp though.

Besides the great khaki hunt, going back and forth with the mortgage company with the usual pre-closing crud (to the point where I was ready to walk away from it all and rent for the rest of my life), and working on the United Way campaign at work. The United Way campaign was the funnest. Every floor had a competition decorating a laundry basket filled with school supplies and uniforms to the theme of a song. Ours was "Stray Cat Strut". We made an alley theme with the dumpsters, stray cats and all. It came out really cool but we didn't win.

I've been taking my frustration out on a bill collector who just can't get it through her head that they have the wrong debtor and the wrong phone number. It's much funner to mess with pushy people than to yell or hang up on them. I've been making a game of how long I can keep her on the line before she hangs up in frustration.
