You Heard That?

Crack, snapple, pop! No, it wasn't popcorn. It was my bi-weekly chiropractic treatment and after being put back into place, I headed back to the reception area and chatted with my chiropractor. He chided me for not sitting up straight and asked if my parents taught me that? "No, they were hippies and didn't make a big deal about it" I told him. "Hippies?" He said, laughing? Did they have a bong lying around too?" I laughed and told him "no, but after my mom left my dad there was some of that."

Suddenly, I looked over at the waiting area that is usually empty and it was full of people!!! Several adults just looking at me with various degrees of amusement on their faces after hearing my discussion. I turned bright red and started laughing with embarassment. "Yes, that's right folks, hippies!" The chiropractor and I kept laughing and I said goodbye to everyone and then walked out laughing the whole way to my rental mini-van.

Have I mentioned why I have a rental mini-van? Ahh, yes, let me explain. A few weeks ago I was making a left turn at a light on a green arrow when a car (driven by an under-cover policeman) came out of nowhere at 50 mph, ran a very red light and slammed into the back corner of my car! I was so lucky to escape without any scratches, but it scared the crud out of me. My poor dog Roxy is limping and has shoulder damage. This is the same dog, the money pit, who has been through the gamut already. Sigh. Poor thing. My neck is jacked up and my wrist and hand too, but the amazing thing is that it could have been so much worse. My car is in the shop for three weeks and right now I am enjoying the ease of "magic doors" as my girls like to call them. At least they're having fun with it.

The great thing is that even with all of this, I am still so happy for the little things like going to swim practice and seeing London swim with her arms and legs and move like a dolphin in the water. That makes my day! Zoe and London just doing the silly things that sisters do makes me feel like a ray of sunshine is directly over us and all is right in the world.
