Holiday Wrap-Up, and Then Some
By Woopop | January 12, 2009 11:19 am
It’s been way too long since I did a real post… waaaaaaaaay too long, and there’s been a ton of stuff going on.
First, the holidays. The usual whirlwind, down to Elmira for a one-day visit at Tiff’s Aunt’s house on the Saturday before Christmas, then home to Rochester, then Monday morning it was off to NT for a couple days. We saw Sara’s house, indulged in some Mighty Taco, the usual. Xmas Eve was great at home, as Will stopped over, as well as Jamie and her parents, so we had a full house. We drove back to Rochester that night, and Christmas Day got re-packed and headed down to Horseheads. Another great Christmas scene down there, another full house on Friday, and the usual shopping blitz. There will be no gloating about presents, but Tiff hit the nail on the head with a new pair of Adidas Shelltops (The classic Superstar II’s if anyone’s counting).
It was back to work on Monday through Wednesday, and then New Years Eve saw us hosting a little get-together, Dave and Michaela, Maggie, and all the way from NT, Sara and Adrienne finally got to see the house! Our little mexican fiesta was fun, and the next morning we all got fat at Cracker Barrel for breakfast. After we rolled out of there, I caught a bit of the Winter Classic and we just chilled. Saturday afternoon / night had Rebecca and her crew come in for her bachelorette party. The girls took over the house for a bit, and then I played chauffeur for Tiff, Rebecca and Lauren as they hit up East Ave. for some clubbing. Matt met me out for a couple beers while the girls were doing their thing, and I caught back up with them around closing time. Then *IT* happened.
The girls were crossing the street arm-in-arm, hit some ice, and went down in a heap. Tiff’s leg folded under her, and she broke her right ankle. All day Sunday was spent first at the urgent-care clinic to get X-rays, and then the hospital getting her splinted up, obtaining crutches, and filling prescriptions. Tiff’s mom came up for a couple days to help out, which considering my overnight work on Tuesday/Wednesday, was a godsend. Tiff’s surgery was Wednesday, which went smoothly, and Tiff was home resting comfortable in the late afternoon. No weight for a month, then some PT. And naturally, it’s her right ankle, so no driving, which means I’m chauffeur for awhile. I actually went to volleyball that night too (on no sleep!), and the rest of the week was uneventful. I hung out at Matt and Lisa’s Saturday night, and my parents came up yesterday to see Tiff, bring us lunch (MIGHTY TACO!), and accompany us to Hot Shots so Tiff could watch her guys play a make-up game, and Mom and Dad could finally try a garbage plate. Good times, good times!
In completely unrelated news, Amanda sent me a link to a ridiculous article in the Niagara Gazette about a 21-year old kid getting stopped for a DWI that had some hilarious quotes in it. I submitted it to FARK and got my first greenlight (story submission that makes the main page)!! Friday was a proud day. :)
So that’s that, Tiff actually went to work today, and this weekend coming up is Rebecca and Joel’s wedding, so we’ll be busy with that. Back to as normal as we can be, which ain’t that normal anyway :)
