Nice Shiner

Things have settled down a bit in the Curran Household. Grandma is home from the hospital, she will see a lung specialist this next week. Her house is progressing nicely!! Took a little tour today and all is well.

Brett took an elbow to the eye last Monday, LOTS of BLOOD and eight stitches later he is almost as good as new! He only took one day off from conditioning. We sure do miss him, he sure is having fun-HMMM - I know there is a correlation there somewhere!!

I am preparing for some Seattle friends next weekend--YAY.

I am also preparing for another trip back!!! I get to come back for another visit Oct. 9-20.

I will be working for Dr. Rossi while his hygiene staff is out of the office for a mission trip and a honeymoon!! So LUCKY me I get to come up for another visit.!!

Pray for Grace

It has been BUSY since Brian's Mom got here. Right at the time she came we found out Brett was leaving off to school-he is TIRED, BUSY, but is very happy w/his choice. I 'look' forward to doing his stinky b-ball laundry every Sunday.

Brian's Mom fell out on our walkway in Aug. After an day of ice (didn't work) and a visit to the ER we found out she needed surgery to repair the radial cap at her elbow that fractured-ouch! She got well enough and had surgery the 5th of Sept.& had a nice titanium cap placed on her bone. Her arm works great and has very little Pain!!!! Back to the ER on the 9th w/pneumonia. She had a little rally, but yesterday, Sunday took a turn for the worse. Back to the ER (they know us now after my several visits, and hers!) We found she has at least one pulminary embolism-very common after surgery, very serious. Brian is beside himself. She in the hosp. getting great care and we are hoping it resolves soon. Hard to see her struggle to breathe, something we take for granted. We would apprieciate your prayers. So hard for her to leave her home, friends, schedule and be thrown into all this chaos. No pictures, she still has a black eye from the fall so how about this peaceful vision!! Sometimes Storms come in Life!

Thirsty??

I was inspired today while at the gym. I realized how much I love my water. You see I have this little ritual, each night before I go to bed I pack my gym bag, saves me time in the morning when I always seem to be rushed. Make sure the clothes are in there, the towel, reading material, Ipod charging and water in the fridge to grab on the way out of the house.

Well now with all the news about all those water bottles filling up the landfills I have been refilling my bottle and using it again. Don't like to, cause then I have to wash it out -because eww, the germs! And somehow it just doesn't taste the same don't know why but it just doesn't.

The best is when I stick it in the freezer and it is ice water by the afternoon-ahhh!

Well today I noticed how many people don't bring H2O when they work out, they use the fountain. Sounds weird but I don't like the fountain much-again with the germs!!

Well I was very thirsty today after my work out and I have found that nothing tastes better than ice cold water, not Iced Tea, Coke, Lemon aid, but Just Plain Ole' Water.

I worked outside today in the sunny beautiful 95 degree day and there was my faithful tall glass of ice water, refreshing --YES--and quenches the thirst, sometimes underestimated this little ole' glass of water. Thirsty anyone?
