Tuesday talk

[tiramisu]

How's everyone today?

I saw a podiatrist yesterday and got the results of my MRI. There's nothing obviously wrong on the MRI, both agree that I have a sprain. Both agree, even though I had to pull it out of them, that I probably shouldn't do my jazz routine (they don't think I'll listen to them). So I emailed my dance instructor. One of my classmates suggested that I could be in parts of the routine and just leave stage and come back a couple of times.

I'm sorry, tiramisu. I know you were really hoping for something more concrete and to be able to do the routine.

I learned last night that it takes 90 minutes to hull and slice 1 gallon + 2 lbs of strawberries. I bought some on Saturday at a local farm, but they were SUPER ripe and were starting to go bad. I'm making strawberry-infused rum/vodka/moonshine as Christmas presents. So, last night, I started slicing, divvied the strawberries up among 4 mason jars, and started them infusing. I have 1 rum, 1 moonshine, and 2 vodka. I also made a strawberry sauce with the left over berries that I'll use in a cake.

I also learned last night that Lowe's employees are trained like ninjas...absolutely impossible to spot when you're looking for them. I couldn't find tomatillos. I need to call around to some local garden shops to see if anyone has them.

Thank you udscoobychick! I'm wearing stiff-soled shoes now, which is weird but clearly more comfortable. I'm going to do tap, but I'm still debating jazz.

(((tiramisu))) I'm sorry.

tiramisu, I'm sorry that you have the sprain, but thankful it is not something more serious!

I know I sound like a broken record but I'm getting so excited for the wedding! I popped in to the floral shop that motzie recommended to me, plunked down my money, showed them my dress and said "make me a pretty bouquet of whatever you want". Now that I'm getting down to the details it is just getting so real!

[udscoobychick]

bullygirl979, I will never get tired of hearing about weddings. It's fun to hear all the details!

Also, I just found out that my company had a big win for some follow-on work for one of the programs I work on! I was heavily involved in the proposal, so that's exciting!

Woman, you should be excited!  You are marrying the man you love.  That is something to be excited about!
