this just isn't our year for celebrations

We plan a birthday party, the birthday girl gets sick with fever and a rash.

We plan a 5 year anniversary getaway to Baja, and the anniversary boy crashes his bike and breaks his elbow.


So instead of driving south for a childless weekend of wine tasting and gourmet meals, we're planning to spend the evening of our five year anniversary kicking back with CJ, eating cauliflower soup, drinking wine, and watching a couple of DVDs that we rented. Although, when you really get down to it, it's not such a bad way to spend a day. (Except for the broken elbow part... let's skip that next time around.)

Happy anniversary my love... in sickness and in health, right?

Oh yea! Happy anniversary. Sorry about the elbow (tim is wondering about the details). Adobe Guadalupe looks awesome- nice find. Certainly looks worth visiting and celebrating your life together any regular, happy day. xoxo

oh yeah, in case anyone else is wondering, the accident was caused by a perfect storm of bad circumstances: I had just left the house on my way to work and was accelerating (not realizing i was in a bad gear combination) to make it through a yellow light when my chain skipped and threw the derailleur into the rear wheel. So, already off balance, when the rear wheel froze up i was doomed. I went down off balance also, landed right on my elbow, and knew immediately that something was wrong. I carried the bike home and my very sympathetic neighbor took me to the hospital. I have an olecranon fracture (like this: http://www.gentili.net/fracture.asp?ID=82) and will have a pin put in on monday morning. :(
