Another weekend...

So, another week has gone by and my ankle is feeling better and better everyday. I have a doctor’s appointment this week, when I hope they’ll tell me I can stop wearing the air cast. It’s just really annoying to use it while wearing your shoe, plus the one shoe I wear on my right foot is now really stretched out on the sides because of it. My ankle does feel stronger, though I’m probably about a week or two away from playing sports competitively (the question is, have I ever played at a competitive level…. Hmmm).

My brother had a free pass to go see Mission Impossible III on Thursday night, which I regretfully had to decline because it was the second to last episode of Survivor (yes, I still watch the show), though I do want to see the movie… have any of you seen it? Apparently, Tom Cruise’s antics have really annoyed some people and affected his box office appeal… Anyways, Survivor Sunday turned out all right, though I was rooting for Terry at the end, and Aras ended up winning the million bucks (much more deserving than Danielle). And by the way, why did everybody love Cirie, she was the mastermind behind three or four people being ousted, and nobody seemed to hate her…

Friday, since my ankle was feeling a bit better, I decided to test the ankle at this new bar / club called Tantra. It’s really nothing special, but it was a new place to try out. Of course, it took like ten minutes for us to get in (I absolutely despise waiting and pleading with bouncers), which I’m not sure if it was worth the wait or not. Anyways, bumped into a bunch of people, had some beers and some “micheladas”, and the ankle didn’t bother me till the very end…but I was able to limp out of the bar without any help.

Saturday we took it easy; running a few errands and then partially watching “About a Boy” (electricity went out because of a thunder storm). By the way, I forgot to mention that we assembled a TV stand last week (my brother did most of the work) for the new TV my brother bought. It wasn’t quite as easy as we had planned (yes, I read the instructions), as a couple of times we messed up, though I take the blame for the mistakes, since I had the bum ankle, I was directing the entire operation. Anyways, after a few hours of cursing and sweating, the new TV stand was ready! So now we are really ready to enjoy the World Cup GAMES! By the way, Carlos Ruiz scored another goal… three so far for the FC Dallas star!

Besides that, my sister called on Sunday and informed my brother that they wanted him to be the Godfather of the upcoming baby. He was quite excited, plus the baptism is supposed to happen in Haiti around December, so it might be a chance for us to visit… though I’m not sure I’ll be able to take off, November and December are crazy times at work.

Here are a couple of nice pictures from two weekends ago when my dad was still in town….
