5th Times the Charm?

Well, last night I was walking down the stairs and I tripped. I fell on my ankle and it twisted under me as I fell down several stairs. I heard a loud crack as I went down. It hurt really bad so I had to go to the emergency room because I thought I had broken it again. We were there for a long time. We didn't get home until 1 in the morning. 

So this morning my dad woke me up at 9 and said we had to go to the foot doctor. I had to get ready really quick cause we had leave in like 5 minutes. So anyway I was really tired since I didn't get a lot of sleep. The doctor looked at my x-rays and it turns out I tore the ligaments in my ankle and fractured it. This is the fifth time I have broken it. I did manage to get through 2008 without breaking it but I have broken it in 04, 05, 06, 07 and now 09. This sucks!

The Good and the Bad

Well I had to get my allergy shots today. I hate getting them but I have to every week. Anyway there are several nurses that work up at the doctor's office and two of them are always on the phones acting as secretaries. So this other lady has given me my shots the last couple of times. I have to get two shots, one in each arm. She always gives the the shots in the wrong arms. So the one that is supposed to go in my left arm stings and burns a lot and she put it in my right arm. It got swollen and hurts really bad right now. Hopefully it will get better over the next couple of days.

On another note, I got some really cute boots today (pictured above). They are by Steve Madden and I found them on sale for $90 when originally they were $160. Gotta love saving money! I was able to get them in a 6 (I usually wear a 5 1/2) and they fit great. They are really comfortable and I love them.

Rodeo Madness

Well we got to go the the rodeo yesterday. My dad, me and Meghann got there at about 3 and Mom, Janna and Jenna's friend Natalie came a little later. Me and Meghann went to the carnival and rode some rides first. It was cold outside (well, as cold as it gets in Texas) and there weren't a lot of people there. There weren't any lines at the rides and we got to go on a bunch them, some that I hadn't been on before. We had a lot of fun.

After about 45 minutes we decided to get some corn dogs and fries and go watch the pig races that started at 4. They were so cute and one of them was running to fast around a corner and slipped. We checked out the petting zoo too. They had goats, deer, a couple sheep, a donkey and a llama and her baby.

The highlight of the night was when Jenna and Natalie got lost. They were supposed to meet us at five and they didn't come and Jenna didn't answer her phone. Then a little later at about 6:30 my dad was walking around the midway trying to find them so we could go home. At about 7:30 Dad finally took me and Meg home and Mom stayed to look for Jenna. 

She had to eventually get the police involved when she couldn't find her. They were all searching around and finally found her and Natalie riding one of the rides. They were oblivious and didn't even realize everyone was looking for them. Jenna is so dingy sometimes. She hadn't even checked her phone or anything. In the end, it all worked out though.

Rodeo or No Rodeo

My cousin Meghann is coming to visit me this weekend. She is coming today and leaving on Sunday. We are planning on going to the rodeo carnival if it isn't raining. The weather report says it is supposed to rain but I am hoping it doesn't. I really want to ride the Octopus, Ferris Wheel, Pharaoh's Fury, Breakdance, Tilt-A-Whirl, Tornado, UFO and all the other fun ones. 

If it does rain :( I guess we will have to do something else. Maybe see a movie or go shopping. Meghann got her license a couple months ago so now we can both drive, which is nice, since we can go places by ourselves now. My mother is very over-protective so she doesn't let me do a lot of stuff by myself. But now she is letting me do more.

Well, more about the rodeo carnival later. Hopefully I will get to go and can write about it later.

Bellatrix the Vampire Puppy

Almost two weeks ago I got a new puppy. She is a long haired miniature dachshund that I named Bellatrix (Bella for short). She is so cute and most of the time is really sweet.


But she does have a quirk that I am not too happy about. She likes to bite. A lot. She has small but very sharp teeth. She has tried to pierce my nose several times and enjoys biting my hands, arms, feet and anything she can get her little fangs on. But just look at those eyes. How could you resist?
