It was a crazy thing to do

[spicedogs]

In 1997, I broke my left foot by tripping over my Ginger's (who is no longer with us) sleepy body:



Then, the next year, I broke my right foot by stepping on a hole during my daughter's commencement exercises.

That same year, I we went to the Renaissance Festival in our local area, where they were selling walking sticks. I really wanted one, as I couldn't walk very well, but hubby and I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a fancy piece of wood. But yesterday, I went out and did it. I bought a fancy piece of wood. It was for charity, so it was a good cause. Here's what it looks like (I will take my own pictures when it arrives):

Thanks. How are you today? Are you off?

I'm doing great. I'm off from the state job today. I wasn't yesterday.

That's so cool *thinks of Eko's stick*

[spicedogs.livejournal.com]

That's funny.

Ooh, that's really cool!

Thank you. I'm really excited about it.

Nice! What a lovely walking stick and personal memento. I can just imagine how stylish you'll look with it when you use it.

[spicedogs.livejournal.com]

I am not sure that I will ever use it. LOL

A batan! Your first step on the way to CGdom! Yay! Does Dad know?

BTW, your post makes it sound like you tripped over Ginger's dead body, which is sooo not true!!! LOL!

[spicedogs.livejournal.com]

He will know when it arrives.

And thence shall begin several weeks of not being able to afford hot dogs.

[spicedogs.livejournal.com]

This came out of my mad money, which I still have.

BTW, I changed the entry

[miss-sophia.livejournal.com]

Doesn't matter. Hot dogs will still be unaffordable. That's how it is with Master Po!

Heh, entry is better. :)

Let us eat lobster, then.

[miss-sophia.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to me!

Hibachi lobster? ;)

[spicedogs.livejournal.com]

Yes, hibachi lobster. LOL
