So the Ipod was free the case wasnt:

Impulse shopping and only spending 27$ on an ipod Priceless.

As long as one blender is large enough to contain the other ...

When me and a work buddy discovered that, we sent in a suggestion:

"Will a BlendTec Blender blend a BlendTec blender blade?"

SO, July 3rd, I put out this grease fire that my buddy Keith started, (he started it by accidnt, BTW), and in doing so, some hot grease hit my lower right leg. I didn't even notice right away. No feeling below the knee with me. Anyway. I treated it about three hours later. And went to see my doc about it last Monday the 6th, and he prescribed a ointment for it, not an over the counter deal, and told me to come back in a week. That would be today.

First thing he says when he sees it, 'Oh, that doesn't look good.' Which is never a good thing to hear from your doctor. Tells me now I have to go to the North Texas Wound Center, where, I have a better then 90% chance I will lose the lower part of my right leg.

Of course, they will try to fix it, and he put me on an antibiotic, but I have been down this road before when I lost my pinky toe.

So now I either have to learn to drive with my left foot only, or get the car outfitted with handles, which I have seen on a Mustang; just not sure how much that will cost. Plus there is the joy of eventually getting a false limb.

There is a lesson or two here: First, don't be a diabetic if you can avoid it. Stop consuming lots of high fructose corn syrup. Avoid sugars. I never was a fan of candy/cake/sweet things, but I used to LOVE Coke.

Second lesson: If you have a grill, like a gas grill, make sure you clean it really well and often. The whole reason I got this burn was because my buddy did not clean the grill often, and even though he thought it was 'clean' because he would 'burn off' the grill before cooking, the rest of the grill, the sides, the lower part where the grease collects, inside the top of the grill where grease can also collect, well, that is fuel for a grease fire. I have seen it, and now have to deal with the results.

Oy. See, Alan from NY was right: Monday the 13th is worse then Friday the 13th.

I think my internal organs are going to fall out again. They do that when I am super stressed. I have got to figure out why this happens. Not good at all.

It went very well. I got many compliments on the balloons and the favors. I didn't take any pics because I couldn't find my camera before I left I think Vinny hid it on me so he could use it at his cousin's grad party
But I asked my sister to take some pics for me. She put some of them on facebook but not the ones I wanted so I'm going to have to email her and get them from her. When I do I'll post them up for ya
I made her bridal shower hat for her, too. It was monstrous and awesome!
