More Ouchies from Pete N Macs

 This is Chloe.  Chloe is a regular at Pete N Macs, as is her brother Flex.  The reason they don't share a room is because Miss Chloe has severe separation anxiety, and can jump our 6 foot kennels without scrambling.
 She's a real sweetheart, but she is always looking for a way to escape....which....she did today....for the 2nd time.
She ran outside and jumped right over the 10 foot block wall.  I "Jackie Chan'd" my way over the wall after her and chased her down the railroad tracks in downtown Gilbert.  I finally caught up to her and got her back safe and sound.  She was fine!  I however...am a little worse for the wear.
My hand is torn up in several places....but my wrist was pretty sore like I sprained it...so off to Urgent Care I went...to get x-rays.

Let me start off by saying...it's never a good sign when the doctor laughs at your x-rays and follows it up with "You have an exceptionally high pain tolerance don't you?"

The good news is, yes, my wrist is sprained.  The BAD news is, my forearm is fractured in 2 places.  The fractures are on each side of a badly healed spiral break...that I never even knew I had!!!  They estimated that the break was approximately 5 years old.  It has over calcified, so no point in rebreaking it.  Looking at my arm I can see where it was...I've always noticed the bump...but always assumed that it was a fat deposit or something.  So yeah....2 fractures.  Oh joy!

I Love USAA

I would just like to take a moment to say that I love my insurance company, USAA.  Today they granted me a loan to purchase my car from Derek and insured me as well.  I now officially own my car!

Rusty's Birthday Party Part Zwei

 Today is Rusty's birthday! Happy 29th!!  It was the very first "party" I've ever been invited to.  I was a little out of place to be honest, since I don't drink and I'm new to the party scene.  But I guess it was a learning experience for sure!
What birthday party is complete without a pinata stuffed full of goodies!?

 This is Rusty's dog Jasper, and yes, he has a red mohawk
 We decided to walk to Dos Gringos (which is across the street from Rusty's)
 We danced, played jenga, and had alot of fun!
 Seriously, what a handsome man!

 Crystal is so beautiful!
 We pushed Rusty home in a grocery cart, he had a blast until he almost got dumped into the road when they hit a bump.
 Our group got noticeably bigger leaving Dos
 Let the beating of the pirate commence!
 MONEY SHOT!
Overall it was interesting.  I witnessed my first "beer pong" game, but mostly just spent time in the living room cuddling with Jasper the dog, and chatting with people.  Anywho...Happy Birthday Rusty!

Rusty's Birthday Party Part Ein

 Today after bowling I was invited to an impromptu soiree at Dos Gringos for Rusty's birthday.  His real party is tomorrow, but I had nothing better to do tonight, so I decided to go and hang out with some of my favorite people.

Alex is a rockstar!
 Chris and Crystal are the cutest couple!  Oh, and that's JJ in the back photobombing the picture.
 Can you tell I'm a happy camper?  Oh, and the lobes continue to get bigger and bigger!
 Ashley, ???, and JJ
 Morgan and her twin sister Marissa
 Marissa and Shawn
 Morgan and Adam  (Adam is seriously such an awesome guy!)
I'm starting to realize that I don't have any pictures of Rusty tonight!  Oh well...tomorrow for sure!!  For now I'm going to bed.  Work at 11am!  Night everyone!

Bowling with My Favorite Little Sister!

 Today I met Trinity at her school and took her out for the day!  We went to Christown Mall and bought a few things, then went bowling. We had a ton of fun!

Monsterland

 My friends invited me to this place called Monsterland tonight.  It's in downtown Mesa, right next to the old school Milanos Music.
I walked the back alley trying to find it.

 Follow the Monster feet they said
 I found it!
 Monsterland is a restaurant by day, bar by night, and haunted house too!  I bet this place is crazy on Halloween!
 Welcome to Monsterland.  I enjoyed the vibe of the place right away.  When I first got there, it was really dead....not alot of people at all.  But, it was only a Thursday night.
 They had awesome props all over, and great lighting.  They also had all kinds of animatronic statues that would move and whatnot.
 Why was I at Monsterland?  Well, Morgan is the karaoke DJ there too!  And it's called Skareoke! How could I say no to that?
 It gets my thumbs up!
 Even Adam from my work decided to come by!  He also decided to put me in a headlock for the only picture of him!
 What have my friends created!  I'm a singing fool now!
 Everyone seemed to have a blast!
 I can see how this would be a great place for a birthday party!
 I met all kinds of interesting people for sure!
 I think I will definitely be coming back to this place!
