The NFL draft started today with some very suprising results. I am a little unsettled with Green Bay's pick!?I know their defensive line needs help but why this early in the picks?!
Once upon a time ... I knew this stuff backwards and forwards. Sports was my passion way more than scrapbooking ever was. I have decided I need to pick it up again. I have always maintained my loyalty to the Packers (even though it got me in trouble in Fantasy Football) I don't know the 'who's who' anymore and the positions are sketchy to me now. I know enough of the Packers to be unsettled about picking DT Justin Harrell from Tenn.

Watching the Suns playoffs game is the same. I have boxes somewhere (probably at mom's) of articles and reports and pictures of Suns and Jazz games. It was my inspiration for becoming Assit. Sports Editor of our high school newspaper. What happened? I'm not really sure. Changes of other things in my life. But I still love to watch the games. There is something about the excitment and the thrill of the games. I have vowed this season to regain a bit (not so much as the extreme I had before) of the passion I had before.
Except baseball. That is Carls 1st passion in the sports world. I can go to the games and I love being in the ball park, but don't make me watch it on t.v. for more than 10-15 min at a time without going stir crazy! Don't hate me Dawn! LOL!

Things work much better when they are plugged in ALL the way!! I was having trouble with the internet yesterday. I couldn't stay connected. We have cable internet. It's supposed to be SUPER fast. It's been terribly slow and then sometimes won't work at all, even after I reset it. Carl thought it was the router going out. Tonight he said let me check something else, after we plugged the modem into my computer and I still got disconnected. He checked the cable connection. It's running MUCH faster and I'm staying on. Tomorrow we'll plug the router back in and secure the cable. Much better!! Thanks HUN!!

Entertainment
Sunday is our favorite night on t.v.

1. Simpsons (by the way we also watched the full trailer for the Simpsons movie coming out this summer)

2. Amazing Race - Go Beauty Queens! can't wait for the next one, to see what happens!
I was a little disappointed that this one was a non elimination round.

3. Iron Chef America - tonight it was Mario and he's fun to watch, but I wasn't impressed with the dishes, even with Garlic being the ingredient.

4. Apprentice - unfortunately we didn't catch the final on this one because we were flipping around too much!

5. Oh I almost forgot, last but not least the Suns beat the Lakers!! In the first of 7 games for the playoffs! Another big upset is Denver beat San Antonio in San Antonio, for their first win of the best of 7!
GO SUNS!!

We get movies from Netflix. So far we've really liked it. Last night we watched "Stranger than Fiction" with Will Farrell and Emma Thompson and Dustin Hoffman and Queen Latiffa. Strange cast right! The movies started out funny like a Will Farrell movie. But then it got really wierd and really depressing. And Emma Thompson was just a little too bizarre in this one.
Now overall the whole idea and storyline was a great idea and I really like the girl in it with Will Farrell, (I can't place her name right now) Maggie something.
The basic plot was that he heres this woman's voice (Emma Thompson) in his head. He discovers it's her telling the story of his life. She's writting it in a novel. It's is very slow but She's trying to figure out how to end it. And his life. Anyway, I won't give to much of it away in case you do want to see it. I liked the idea of it, the idea was much like Click but way more depressing. I loved Click.With Adam Sandler. If you get a change rent it. But fast forward through the slow parts! ha ha!

It is hard to wrap my brain around what happened at VT yesterday. I can't imagine the loss and the devastation that that campus and that community is experiencing.
I can't imagine if it had been on of our universities. We have three major universities here in the state. What causes something like this?! It SO sad!

The vet was one of the most frustrating experiences we've had with this vet. It was a new vet, who didn't seem to know what he was doing but tried to cover it. He took two hours. Most of that was filling out paper work while we were sitting in the room. With other staff members coming in and out of the room trying to get information from him about other clients. $192 later, Busters ears are "the worst he's ever seen" didn't bother cleaning the gunk out of his ear. He didn't even want to touch it. The orginal vet will normally take him back and clean him out. They usually also clip their nails with no charge, he told me to do it myself or take him to the groomers!! Bilko's eye is infected but the good news there is it's not an ulcer. According to this vet. Next time if there is a next time they will only see Dr. Noe. He's the owner of the vet place. They just don't get very good new people. We kept trying to tell him that Busters ears are bad and always have been. He kept saying "well for this type of dog!" GRRR. and he kept calling Bilko a she!
Anyway they both seem to be doing better which is the most important part. Busters back on his steriods and ointment and antibotic and it seems to be better. I gave him a bath yesterday and clipped away all the hair. I got the big gunk that the vet didn't clean out or even touch.
I've been trying to get it out for several weeks.

Oh I did get my hair trimmed. I also had her thin it out and show me how to use the flat iron to straighten it. She did an awsome job! I think I found someone to do my hair. I paid $38 which is a new record for me. I never spend that much on myself but this one was worth it. I am VERY happy with it. It feels soo much better and lighter. I have so much hair!

On fun stuff - Amazing Race had some fun challenges. I can't believe Mirna and Charla didn't get the boot last night. I am sorta glad it was a non elimination round. Although I don't think Eric and Danielle will make it much longer either. He's a jerk. I got all excited whenMirna and Charla were on the wrong ferry. I was hoping that Eric and Danielle could catch up. But sadly they didn't but fortunately for them it was non elimination.
This is the only reality show stuff I watch. I have no interest in Survivor or even AI. YUCK. I like this one. It's good competition and rivalry. GO Beauty Queens!

I had my follow up with my xrays. Come to find out all these years I'm NOT crazy! At least not yet! HA HA! In medical terms I have Patellar (kneecap) Subluxation. In english that means that my knee cap is dislocating itself. My under thigh muscle is underdeveloped. Causing the knee cap to move. (Sometimes I feel it bouncing around) I thought it was water or tissue damage. The bone is out of place and just rubbing bone against bone. Sounds pleasant I know!

Treatment: Physical Therapy twice a week for four weeks! I am a little anxious about the therapy. I remember when I went through some intense pain in my mission (not knowing really why) I was seeing a chiropractor twice a week. And it hurt something fierce. The Dr. told me it wouldn't hurt. I told Carl I think she lied to me, or I wouldn't go! Ha ha! But I've had this soo long and just figuring my legs were painful or that my knee was swollen because I do so much on my feet. I was partially right. The therapy should strengthen the muscles in my knees. My left knee is worse than my right knee. And it hurts more! lol! But I often thought I was crazy because I could feel it in both knees.

So it's some relief, some anxiety and some hopefulness - now knowing what it is after all this time and knowing how to fix it.

On another note: Carl has a nasty head cold. He came back from Vegas with it. He can hardly talk but it's nothing like it was at the first of the year (knock on HARD wood!) I hope he is okay and gets better.
