Like I did last night! I’m a leftie and why I sat at the table in Perkins next to the wall is beyond me. Well my ‘funny bone’ went right into the brick and the pain was terrible. I put my head on the table a few times. I then felt a bit queasy (empty tummy) and then I had to get up because I broke into a cold sweat! I have ‘experienced’ hurting myself like this at home a few times, but never in a crowded restaurant! Thank goodness the ladies’ restroom had the air blasting and it revived me. Needless to say, I ruined dinner. The above happened over the course of say 5-8 minutes. So watch your precious, bony elbows!
Kinda blue as a bunch of pals and I were planning a get-together and decided on a southern state next year where one lady lives as she doesn’t travel well. We were all getting excited until we looked at the flight schedules. For me to fly from Philly down to our proposed meeting area would be a 9 hour day with a couple of layovers and finally flying into a dinky airport. That completely soured me on it. Then another friend said if we went to a major city and tourist attraction, it would be a direct flight (3 hours for me!) We threw this pass the one lady and she got completely insulted as she thought we were more interested in sightseeing than being with her for 4 days. Now we had planned to rent a car and overnight in her town and spend at least 1.5 days with her. We were doing all the running around. She dropped out of our group over the above. Dropped like a hot potato! Her profile said she was ‘calm’ today. I haven’t been calm because I feel like I lost a friend. Hope she goes from mad to glad again soon.
Anyway, I am hoping to get out west to see 3 other friends in 2010 in celebration of the big ‘5-0’. Never been there. I have roots in Oregon. Bri suggested this. I hope we could stay for a while, heading from San Fran up to Oregon. We’ll see.
Not much going on today. It’s nice out though!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my pal Barbara over at Mainly Stitching and my friend Carol’s friend Steve! (so what if I’m 5 months older than Steve-lo)

Ouch. On both accounts! Ouch about your elbow and ouch that your friend isn’t being very “friendly”. I hope both situations are better soon.
Hope everything is getting better with your friend problem. It sure seems like there is a lot of internet friction lately.
Your yellow rose below is pretty, as is the velvety-looking iris. I have no iris in bloom yet. My poppies are just starting.
Have a great Monday!
Sorry about your elbow! And thank you so much for the happy birthday wishes. 😀
Sorry about your not so friendly friend … too much of that kind of stuff going around imho.
Dianne, my elbows are aching just reading about your unpleasant encounter with the wall! I’m so sorry that you’ve been disappointed in this “friend”. We all run into a problem like that now and then, but I hope you’ll still take your trip and have fun with the others! And if you do come out to Oregon, be sure to let me know. Maybe I can arrange to just happen to be in town for a meet up! 🙂
Ouch! Poor elbow! That can be the worst pain. Sorry to hear about your friend-but I can’t blame you for not wanting to a 9 hour day like that. Travel is not easy and layovers are crappy!
