ICE IT!

Butch's son Mike had knee surgery for a torn miniscus on Friday March 21st. Everything went well during surgery. But when the doctor sent him home he had told him to "Ice It" so listening to what the doctor said, as everyone does that is what he did. Being on pain killers and not having too much feeling in his knee he continued to "Ice it". After a week went by he relized that nothing was getting any better, in fact it was much worse. So on Friday the 28th. he went back to the doctor and learned that he has frost bite.

So to all the people that have never had or seen frost bite, it is the big orange welts on his knee!! Poor Mike, lets hope he gets better soon, golf league starts on April 21st. and he is really looking forward to it.

My Grandma Ruszczyk always had the best nails; she used to spend hours soaking them in knox gelatin and wrapping them with coffee filters to make the strong. She then would let me paint them any color that I wanted. I was always so jealous of them, because since I was a child I have always chewed mine till the bled! HOW DISGUSTING!! Grandma used to buy me the nail polish that had a nasty tasted to it, even that did not work. Later in my life I tried acrylic nails, but they were to much of a hassle to keep up. Nothing would work until December 19, 2007 rolled around and I chipped a small sliver off one of my front teeth, nothing too bad, but off I go to the dentist to have my tooth bonded. Not knowing how I chipped it I decided that it was the whole nail biting thing. So on December 21, 2007 I gave it up. Here they are February 13, 2008. Finally at the age of … I did it!!! Wish Grandma could see them now. She would be sooooo proud!!

Mine are not quite as long as hers as you can see, and I don't spend hours on them, but I DID IT!

Makaki'i

My friend Char went to Hawaii for the SECOND time in October of "07", for my birthday this is what she brought me home to hang from my car's rearview mirror. Everyone who has got into my car since then has said "What is this thing?" or "It is so ugly it is cute!". LA Girl was the worst! But now she sends me text messages everytime she see's this "HEAD" as she calls it, hanging in a car in LA. So I had to do some research. It is a Ikaika Warrior Helmet also known as "Makaki'i. The Ikaika is used for good luck and to ward off evil spirits. So if you ever have a chance to go to Hawaii, pick yourself up one, it has worked for me... so far.... Or better yet if I ever have a chance to go to Hawaii I will pick one up for you. They do come in a variety of colors to match your car.

For my sister-my very first blog!!

After seeing LA Girls blog today, I spoke to her and decided that I had to breakdown and do my very first blog. I did not want my sister to get jeolous about the street named after "LA Girl" because in November when I was in LA we were driving down Rodeo Dr. we came across this street or should I say drive, and that to does have the right spelling of the name "Gale"
