Magic Powers

so we had a huge family 'celebration' in honor of our wedding. first off - this was NOT our idea, dave's mother planned the entire shindig. second - it wasn't too horrible, and we did get some gifts. third - it made his mother happy which is the only reason why we agreed to it in the first place. otherwise all i've done this weekend is move stuff into our new place. now that we've actually started moving i cannot wait to get out of the place we are currently in. i wish i could just wiggle my nose and everything be done. i think i might have seriously strained my back trying to move a bookcase by myself. oh well - i'm just out of shape. but my wrist is absolutely killing me. i know i know, this isn't feel sorry for poor lil' ol'me... but geez. all i was doing was changing some switchplates (actually all the switchplates and there are quite a few) and i guess my wrist isn't used to using the screwdriver that much...
dave went and visited mike and it was a good visit. i guess the end was pretty emotional - how couldn't it be with the marlboro man and a big mexan weeping like babies? seriously though, as you can imagine an insane amount of liquor/alcohol was consumed and as dave pointed out when i picked him up from the airport late last night 'i've been drunk since thursday'. but they were able to talk about some stuff that i know mike's not going to want to talk about in the future (i.e. what he wants dave to teach maricela when she gets older, etc.). his operation is on thursday and i guess the doctor is going to remove 10in of his colon (i thought it was only 7in) but the good news is that they think his liver is good - they just don't know how his intestines are. he's going to be laid up for about 6-8weeks; he pretty much can't do anything other than lay in bed and i'm concered about them since he's the stay-at-home dad and rebeca works. dave said he kept starting to cry everytime mari would cry for mike to pick her up - mike kept telling her 'mari - you have to get tused to this, i'm not going to be able to pick you up anymore'. anyways, as i sit here crying as i write this i told mike on the phone the other day that he's going to be here for a long time yet - we can't get rid of him that easily! and in typical mike fashion, he replied - 'you know the coolest thing about having cancer? all the free shit people give you because they feel sorry for you - it's awesome'. seriously though, any/all of you reaidng this - look into getting AFLAC insurance. mike & rebeca have it and it is unbelievable - they are going to be (for the most part) completely taken care of financially.
on a lighter note - j-bo has been rubbing up again the keyboard wishing everyone hello and he said that some people need to go on a road trip soon to KC. hmm... i wonder where he got that from? i am SO glad that the evil munchkin leader (tom brady) flattened the bungles... i may hate tom brady with all of my soul but i would take him over the bungles anyday. i don't care what 'america' says - tom brady is NOT one of the hottest men - they also voted for george bush.... hmm....
by the way - is this font too small to read without squinting? let me know.....
