Adventures in a walking boot

If you haven't heard, via twitter or facebook or just my general complaining and pissiness, I am on crutches. Again.

Short version involves a rain boot and some swearing. X-rays, a fractured bone in my foot (though they can't actually find the fracture), a bad sprained ankle, more swearing. A walking boot. Pinched nerve in  hip, no more walking boot. Crutches and an appointment with the orthopedist. More swearing. Vicodin.

I'm sure that clears it all up.

Since I've been taking it easy and staying off my feet, we've gone to see the blue angles (from the coolest vantage point along the I-90 floating bridge), I've gone to a couple Sounders games, started coaching the teens soccer team, watched Motley Crue and Poison in concert (including the two mile walk back to the car because the light rail wasn't running AFTER the show) and spent 11 hours coordinating a beautiful wedding on a very big farm.

Apparently, this is why I developed the pinched nerve. And am now on orders to stay off my feet via crutches.

Hence the pissiness. And now I have to figure out how to transport three dozen cupcakes from my car to the venue tomorrow while on crutches. Any ideas?

I have been taking cell phone pictures through my adventures, and so I leave you with them.


Apparently the Blue Angels put the air show on just for her. Wasn't that nice of them? 


If you look closely at the pic of me on the bottom left, it is the only pic of me wearing the damn boot. Hopefully. Thanks to my friend Spicy for the pictures of the bands (yeah, she got to chat with Tommy Lee. Totally jealous!)



A sneak peak at the wedding last weekend. Most awesome wedding dress EVER. Look at the bottom, it was like stained glass. Stunning.

I wish you a happy weekend of rainbows and butterflies. And all that other crap.
