It's a small mini-van world after all...

Last week I had the following conversation with one of the women who now reports to me.

AB: Oh, you must have a mini-van too, you have the same keys as me. (My keys were sitting on my desk.)

Me: Yeah, I have a silver Town and Country just like half of the other people in the world.

AB: Silver sure is a popular color, I have one as well. Mine is silver except for a big section where the paint has worn off since I live on a dirt road.

I paused and connected the dots...I knew a silver mini-van with paint issues.

Me: The paint wouldn't be missing on the driver's side back bumper would it?

AB: Yeah, how did you know???

Well, I told her the story of when I thought someone had hit my van and realized it wasn't mine, but now have found it was hers.

We had a good laugh and she has forgiven me for scraping the paint off her car.

Six weeks

I am sidelined for at least six weeks. No tennis - no good. My bad wheel turned into immobile wheel today thanks to an air cast. Not the most attractive accessory.

This plan actually worked out for the best because when I was playing on Thursday there was this loud pop in the bottom of my foot. Suddenly my heel felt better, so I thought, "Maybe it released all of the bad heel juju into the rest of my foot." Well, it was something like that. Evidently I tore a ligament in my foot which the doctor told me is really the best thing that could have happened. The reason why is it cured the plantar fasciitis. Plus the recovery time for the ligament thing is about six weeks versus potentially months or years with the other. So all in all I guess it was a good thing to tear a ligament. I am bummed because I can't do any exercise for t...

Have you met my friend Jane?

I am a complete Jane Austen junkie, in fact I think that I need to maybe seek help. Shelly tells me I need help and we all know Shel tells it like it is, so it must be true. "Hello, my name is Susan and I love Jane. Jane Austen." I read "Pride and Prejudice", annually. Yes, every year I spend a weekend with Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy. Now that I think about it I may need to skip my little tradition this year because I have so many other never read books piled up and there is a due date looming from the library. The reason I share this closeted truth with you my friends is because there is a TV event starting this weekend on PBS. It is basically the 10 weeks of Jane, every Sunday night PBS will air a adaptation of Jane Austen's novels. Here is the schedule. So, if you have never had the opportunity to get to know Jane, maybe it is time. Think about it, there is no new TV, it's cold out and you can learn new some new sayings for Monday. Nothing ...
