In dreams, we enter a world that's entirely our own.

aww i forgot to finish this entry! hehe i wanted it to be just before the harry potter premier and my bday. ugh. my bday. hahah i used to be so excited that my birthday would be coming up. but as of late, it's just another sign that i'm (we're all) getting older.

we played our annual bellebowl this year. wow, it was bellebowlV! can you believe it's been 5 years since we've been playing flag football? crazy. hubby love's the tradition bc it's one of the few times during the year when we can get all our friends together and just hang out...well while grabbing flags, screaming, rushing the qb..y'know the usual. so anyways, before we played this time i was joking around saying how we'd all be crazy sore afterwards bc we're getting older. and that i wonder if anyone would get injured bc we're more prone to injuries..again, because we're getting older.

and whattdoyaknow...bday girl injures herself. yeah, that's right. my clumsy self sprains my ankle - and on a non-football play! i was just running to get everyone some water bottles, and then my ankle turned and i heard the pop=(. i tried to get up but it was so painful that i just fell back down and lay on my side. i was hoping no one saw...i was utterly embarrassed at what had happened. but then i heard someone ask if i was alright. and before i knew it i was surrounded by everyone. lou keeps reminding me how lucky i am to have such good friends who care about me. me on the other hand, was just truly embarrassed to be watched so closely while my ankle got iced. hehe i'm shy=P. i don't like that kind of attention. but it is true, i am grateful to have such awesome friends be there for me. with everyone's help (plus 2 nurses & a sports medicine person) my ankle got treated right away.

so, after 31 years of being injury free i have a case 1 ankle sprain=(. ha, this coming from a girl who in elementary school WANTED to have a broken arm/leg or whatever..just to get a cast like all my friends seemed to have. geez, what a 'tard i was. what i wouldn't give now to be injury free again. it was so hard having to watch the last half of our football game on the sidelines. boo no fun! and 2 weeks later..well the swelling is almost down but still a little mushy feeling, hahah yuck. but the pain is still there=(. heal already! i wanna get back to running..start swimming, go biking. *sigh* the joys of getting older. gosh, i'm such a baby. need to stop complaining and just be grateful that it wasn't anything worse.

on a brighter note...birthday was awesome. though my actual birthday day was spent caravaning w/ the fam to vegas for my cousin's wedding - i was surrounded by family and that's what matters=). and i got an early surprise gift from hubby, seesters & fam, and t&j - a nespresso machine!!! yay yay, it's like italia all over again=). i love it! though i wasn't much of a coffee drinker to begin with..i loved drinking the cappuccinos and lattes in europe. yay, and now i get to make my own at home! so freaking awesome. football and pac fight (and win!!) with the friends-mmm and some white rabbit catering, got to watch harry potter in imax=), won my ff matchup=), celebrated my cousin's wedding over the weekend, and finished it off with some yummy red velvet cheesecake w/ hubby. of course ending the bday week with food..hahah my weakness=P.

so despite this funky ankle of mine..i am truly lucky and blessed. here's to great 31st year=).
