Gimme Gimme More
- Britney Spears

What up y’all? Yes, I quoted a Britney song on the blog. Oh well. It’s Amy, b@#$h. Ha. Anyway, the latest in the life and times of Dabbs involves the following – a new cell phone, keys locked in the Jeep, an 18th degree sunburn on my chest and one boot that’s still apparently made for walking. So to update on all four…

1) RIP to the LG cell phone that I have had for over two years. I loved that shiny little silver LG phone. The one that would let me know someone wanted to speak to me with a loud shout of “THAT MAY BE ALL I NEED… IN DARKNESS…” or “IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII WANNA BE WHERE YOU ARE, WANNA TAKE ALL I GOT.” As longtime readers of this blog know, that very phone has been through a lot. It survived a near drowning in the Crowdpleaser at the 2006 Polo Classic. But it couldn’t survive a drowning by Sprite from a Chick Fil-A cup. Sigh.

2) And just like the June 2006 incident, this one phone incident also went hand and hand with a Jeep situation. My keys were locked in my Jeep and a nice, old security guard was able to use something akin to a blood pressure pump to open the door enough to stick a long, metal stick inside and pop the lock button. I was on my way home after that terribly long day when I stopped at the Chick Fil-A and sat my Sprite into the cup holder (next to my cell). I had of course forgotten that the earrings I had on the day before were driving me crazy, so they were also in the cup holder. By the time I got home, my phone was literally floating.

3) A few weeks ago a the Alabama/Tennessee game (can I get a Roll Tide!?) I got one of the worst sunburns of my entire life on my neck, right ear, and chest. My chest is still red. Seriously, still red. It’s been almost a month.

4) I went for another check up on my foot and had to stay in the boot another two weeks. Y’all, I don’t think it will ever be normal again. Double sigh. But such is life. I just hope all of my right shoes still fit! I go back Monday for another check.

So good times for me. How about you?
