Wedding stuff
Dad is doing well, his stitches are off and now he is home playing xbox almost everyday. I am not kidding he has EVERY Call of Duty game and has gone through 2 of the titles already!!
Meanwhile … I am trying to get organized with my wedding. For those who have or are married – any advice on guest list? I need to trim my down completely and I really have no room for all of my family and friends…. HELP!
Poor Dad
Thursday morning I get a call – “Your father has been in an accident, it happened at work”. The strangest words ever muttered… mom was unusually calm while explaining what happened. I guess I need to tell you guys what he actually does at work. As my sister explained it: he is a lineman for Center Point Energy. He has actually been with the company since he was 17!! As a lineman he is also part of the weather relief team – if you’ve been my friend for awhile know, you know I talk about evacuations during hurricane season and how we are always separated from our dad since has to go help cities without power. Anyway, at work he uses these “cherry picker” trucks or bucket trucks like here. While in the air, dad slipped and fell 12 feet to the ground – he is ok but can’t really move and is in a lot of pain.
While mom is telling me the details I am at work trying to concentrate on my new job but seriously… I was in shock. Dad was already on his way to the ER and after that going to get an MRI. Dad hates MRIs. So after that call it was the waiting game. I hate waiting.
I came home as soon as work was done for the week, expecting to see a broken man. But of course in my dad’s true 9 lives theory he really was ok, bruised everywhere, swollen and sore, but it could have been a lot worse – what if he broken his back or neck? So, Monday I asked for the day off to take him to the Houston med center. He tore 2 ligaments in his shoulder and needs surgery. They say he will heal in 4-6 months. He requested some Call of Duty and Medal of Honor on xbox while he is healing.
I am just extremely thankful he was ok. We are all very lucky! Thanks to everyone on twitter for the love and prayers <3!!

Rock you like a hurricane…
THAT song is dedicated to my sister: Kimmy. Don’t ask me why she loves that song.
Anyway – last week started with this amazing rainy Monday. So amazing it actually flooded a lot of streets. I was told to go home early and to avoid flooding my car I was U-Turn queen! So many common streets to my house were flooded and I had to take different routes to higher ground. It was such a scary sight – so many cars died, water had risen up to car handle height. I saw people trying to get out of their cars by windows or sunroofs. I was fine but because of my crazy driving and all the washed up construction sites, a huge nail punctured my rear tire and had to be replaced -_____-;
Oh well – thankfully my dude wasn’t teaching the next day and he went to get a new tire. Damn crazy Houston weather! Speaking of weather, it is hot again! No more fluffy hats then???? This hat was at Hot Topic – I didn’t buy it but man was it cute but kind of heavy to hold up!
Friday night my dude, Kimmy and I went on a mini adventure to Petsmart – we saw the most lovely kitty ever! She was a fluffy calico! Now I am not sure if you guys remember our cats but I have a fluffy cat named Tomo and my fiancé has a little old lady calico named Missy. If they would have mated they would have created this big pawed beauty! Kim posted more about her over here.

OK – now about work! New job is A M A Z I N G!!! Seriously can’t believe I endured such a chaotic office for the last five years of my life! The new office bought me a brand new iMac and all the software I need. Working on their new site is my first assignment.
