The Wonderful World of Polly

Wednesday nite at 8:30 I fell down and hurt my leg. I thought I just sprained it but it hurt pretty bad so we piled in the car and went to the urgent care at Interstate. That's about a 15 min drive. It wasn't too busy but we still sat for 2 and half hrs before I got back to the exam room. The doc asked me some questions and decided I should have xray's so that was another 45 min. It seemed like another hr before the doc came back and told me that my leg is broken right below the knee, the small bone that runs from knee to ankle. The nerve is not severed so I won't need surgery but I do have a splint from my nether regions to my toe's. Which means I will not be working in the baked potato booth at the fair OR going to Canada next week. I will call orthopedics and make an appt for next week where I hope and pray that they will want to do new xray's and find that it's just a bad sprain. Which would be bad enough but, more than likely I am going to have a full length plaster cast on my right leg for who knows how long. Which means I will not be driving myself anywhere anytime soon.
Getting into the house and onto my bed was LOADS of fun. Thankfully I did get a prescription for pain meds.

See new google map widget below. You can see where I am going next week by entering wells, bc, canada in the search field. After the map loads click on zoom out (that's the minus button) a few times to see where Wells, BC is in relation to where you are.

Yeah for me! I just added my first widget. It can be found at my other blogspot called Polly Wog Blog. I was visiting one of my fav blogs called Death by a 1000 papercuts and found a widget there for today's weird news in history. I just clicked on the button at the bottom that said get widget and then picked blogger from the choice of myspace, facebook et al. and then saved my changes on my blogspot page. Gosh, that was easy, now I'm off to find a widget for this page....I'm off to find a widget.....hhmmm hhmmm, hmm , hmmm, hmm,hmm

You can find the link to my other blog on the left side of this page, just click on view my profile.

I don't go to many movies these days. It just cost's too much so when I do go I want to see something really good. My friend Anna and I went to see Mama Mia. Ohhh it was so much fun! We really enjoyed the music and sang along with quite a few of the numbers. I actually found it charming that "some" of the stars in the movie were obviously not picked for their voices. It made it more fun, sort of more realistic if you could call a musical/movie realistic.
Watching the film made me want to go to Greece. It looks so beautiful there. If only there were there weren't so many hills to climb.

Be sure and stick around for the credit's or you'll miss the special ending.

Today I am cleaning my bedroom. The girls like to help me do this as they usually get some treasure I let go of. Sam got a brand new pair of pj's and Lydia got some floam. It's a work in progress and I keep telling myself it always looks worse before it gets better.
I promised my husband I would have it clean before I leave for Canada and that's next week so I better get busy.

It's Sunday nite and my two girls and I are piled on my bed watching The Wizard of OZ. I have many fond memories of doing the same thing with my parents and grandparents. With gramma and grampa we always had a huge bowl of white popcorn and soda's. Mine was always 7-up with a marchino cherry at the bottom. Hmmm, I'm going to have to get some next time I go shopping so I can complete my trip down memory lane.

The men folk are having "man cave" time watching John Adams in the living room. I'm going to go ruin it by making some popcorn. If they are nice to me I will share some with them.

I'm just getting started here. My friend Anna has been filling my head with all kinds of cool ideas. So, I have opened a gmail account and a blogspot all in one night! It's going to be fun to see where this takes me.
