It might happen. I might buy a camper trailer from my cousin Jerry. I'm pretty pumped right now because it looks like I'll be picking up the 2002 Fleetwood Prowler over spring break next weekend. I'll keep you posted. This is just a picture from the internet of what it could look like. There are so many scenerios going through my head about where we can go, camp, and explore. Summer of 2007 just keeps getting better. It started with a dream, then came the towing-capable Tahoe, and now the camper.

I'm Getting Ditched
Back in the early 90's when our marriage was 5 years from fruition and we were just "dating", I used to try to break up with Scott. I know that seems heartless and mean, but I figured that relationships don't last, so before I got too involved, I'd just break it off. It didn't work. We are still together. I've never successfully broken up with anyone. I've been married to Scott since '97. Nothing like stability. Scott's taught me to put trust in relationships.
At least I have my marriage...because my friends leave me...
Today I got the news that Christy is bailing. Bailing on us. Bailing on work. Bailing on Dallas.
We met at work 6 years ago. I had no friends. She had no friends. Our boss had it out for us. We both were stuck coaching and miserable. We sat in that teeny-tiny coach's office and bonded over stories of our childhood, food, college, and family. We spent the summer of 2001 deliberately constructing our "faction:" us and a couple of other "young" teachers sticking together to protect each other and provide credibility. There is safety in numbers.
The friendship worked. The faction worked. Now, we
both have credibility, seniority, good schedules, and hour and a half lunches. We pretty much call the shots for ourselves at work. Let's face it: We are one degree of separation from running our departments.
THE DREAM IS OVER IN MAY
She's leaving me. I've been broken up with. She's moving for "the good life" in the country. I guess when your husband wants to take a new job in a small town, you follow him. I know she says she'll visit. But, that doesn't soften the blow. I'm being ditched. And, it hurts. My poems are all I have to get me through:

I'm bitter.
I'll get over it,
After some beers,
After some late nights fireside,
But, right now, she's dead to me.
Bunion Updates...They just keep coming...
I had my left bunion-ectomy scheduled for Spring Break. However, after getting the bills from the right foot surgery, I've cancelled the left. The bills are pretty high, and we have to re-meet out deductible and the out-of-pocket costs to get to 100% coverage. Basically, insurance is a pain in the butt, but we already knew that. Looks like the left foot will be funky for another year I think. But, who really cares?

7 Weeks Post-Op
I'm walking just fine now (in a protective boot that is). Yes, it is darker, and I still have some healing spots from the incision. But, overall, it seems pretty good.

Deep Thought
Do you ever use your arm in the shower to direct streams of water at will? Like, if there is a spot of something in the corner, do you ever point at it and make the water run down your arm and hand seemingly shooting water from your fingertips like an aqua man protege?
