Who's The Wino?

Allison (my lovely wife) and I are cooking dinner, so I asked her to take a normal sip of her wine and hold it in her mouth. Then I took a normal sip of my wine and held it in my mouth. I then rushed to get these glasses so we could compare sips. You guessed it, my "sip" is on the right, and hers on the left. There's the Pernecky genes working at their finest!

My Weekend

How was my weekend? Pretty good, thank you for asking! Oh, besides the fact that I was attacked by a rabid middle-aged woman that had clearly forgotten to take her meds on Saturday night.

Here's how it went down: My dear coworker Joanie was having a birthday party at her house to celebrate 3 birthdays including her's, her daughter's, and her best buddy's. There were about 30 people there, a bunch of food, and plenty of drinks...great times were being had all around.

Darkness settles in...it was about 9 or 10pm, and my wife and I were having a conversation with "Dawn" about good looking celebrities I believe. So I say something about Katharine McPhee being smoking hot, and how my wife would be OK with it if Kat offered to snuggle with me for a night. I also mentioned how my "get out of jail free" card used to be Britney Spears circa her "One More Time" years. Every couple has these tongue-in-cheek agreements.

So upon hearing this, Dawn starts to say things like "listen you piece of s***, your wife is fantastic and she is gorgeous" to which I replied "I totally agree with you, she is awesome, but we just have this deal..." and she says "no, you f****** jerk, you listen to me, you have no idea what you have." It went on like this for about 3 minutes, we were even standing up and yelling at each other in the middle of this party of about 15-20 people.

I'm not sure what order this happened, but you'll understand why when I tell you she shoved the palm of her hand into my forehead not once, or twice, but THREE times, hitting me pretty well, enough to make me a tad dizzy. So then I say "I'm going to guess you're from New York" and she was! This got her in a full-blown tizzy, so she proceeded to jump over my wife who was sitting to my left, and then jumped up on top of me in my chair, straddling me with her legs on either side of me in what I can only imagine was an attempt to choke me or something. I immediately grabbed her wrists and kept saying "I am a man, you are a woman, and that means I am stronger than you!!! This is useless, you won't be able to do anything!!!" Just as she was letting up, I started to let her go, and she lunged at my neck, trying to bite me! No joke!!! So I pulled her wrists again and successfully stopped her from sinking her teeth into my flesh. Just then her very embarassed husband came up and pulled her into the house, saving my life.

Luckily, I was right and I held her off pretty well, except for a couple scratches, one of which I've included the picture of:

Just a little scratch, I know, but I didn't expect to get attacked while enjoying a few beers at my coworker's party.

I'm told "Dawn" was inside still really mad at me for the next few hours, doing what she could to get back outside and teach me a lesson.

Either way, this chick is fit for a straight-jacket, and I lived to tell the story.

Besides that, we had a great time! So what did I do wrong? Anyone?

Here's one of the first pictures of my new Niece, Mikayla Ann waving "hello" to this crazy new world! She was born this morning and is right around 8 lbs, sorry I don't have more specifics.

A big "hello" right back at ya, little tyke!



And the cutest one so far:

Erika Pernecky Makes Deans List

I just heard that my sister made the Dean's List at Governor's State University again, so I thought I would take this time to give her a shout out, and say "way to go, sis!"

 

So, uhhh, WAY TO GO, SIS!!!!

 

Besides that, I've got nothing.  Oh...90 DAYS UNTIL GAME 1 OF 2007 CHICAGO BEARS FOOTBALL!!!  Hello to Rex Grossman, as he is a regular reader of this blog.  Surprised you guys didn't know that.  I heart Rexy!

Berries!

I was reading my Men's Health magazine and they said all sorts of berries are in season RIGHT NOW, and usually are every year in June and July.  Yes this may be obvious to some people, but I'm glad they brought it to my attention  This is good for a few reasons:

 

1)  Berries are high in antioxidants, so they're very good for you!

2)  In season = they're at they're peak of taste!

3)  In season = lowest prices of the year!

 

Ally and I just picked up strawberries (the biggest I've seen in a long time, and they're are SOOOO good!) raspberries, and some blueberries.  OH SO GOOD!

 

So get out there and berry up!

Food Porn

Here's what my buddy at work Robert had for lunch today. Looks pretty good, no? He eats like this daily, but he stays under 200 pounds.

The Saga Continues

I'm on the road to recovery, and here's a picture of the robocop boot I'm supposed to wear for the next 6 weeks. I've already attempted a bathroom break, and everything went swimmingly, thank goodness.

In other news, Jonesy's brother just moved down to Florida, and packed his Xbox 360, so Jonesy has officially been introduced to the next generation of gaming. Hooray!

Mother Earth is Not an Ashtray

Whenever someone strongly supports recycling - and is a cigarrette smoker - I wonder if they think about the estimated two billion cigarette butts that are tossed on the ground every day. Do they know that the filters are non-biodegradable? A good read for the fight against this often overlooked form of littering.

My Bone Contusion (Bruise) FAQ

So, the verdict is in...I just got a call from the doctor with the results of my MRI I did this morning.  Turns out I have 2 bad bone bruises (or stress responses) in the 3rd and 4th metatarsal bones of my foot.  It doesn't sound serious, but he said a lot of bone bruises ultimately lead to stress fractures, so luckily mine did not get to that point.

 

Just a bone bruise?  That's it??!?  Yes, a bone bruise, just like famous NFL players Shaun Alexander of the Seattle Seahawks (which led to a broken foot since he overused it) and Anquan Boldin of the Arizona Cardinals.  Both of them missed a few games because of their bone bruises.

 

What is a bone bruise? Bone bruises are also known as periosteal bruises. The most painful bruises, they can sometimes take months to heal. What happens in a bone bruise is a compressive force pushes the in on itself. When this happens the outer layer of the bone, which is fibrous, breaks down. This leads to leaking of fluid.

 

How did it happen?  I'm not positive, but I believe it was from a time in October when I was running (almost sprinting) with my Pug Dempsey for about a half mile while wearing flip flops.  I don't normally do that, but it just so happened that the next morning I could hardly walk, so that's a pretty good indication to me.

 

How long will it take to heal?  The doc says I will need to be in a walking cast / boot for about 6 weeks.  I'll be getting fitted for it tomorrow hopefully, and then be pain-free in a month and a half after wearing it.  It should smell awesome during this Florida heat!

 

You're so hot, are you married?  Yes, happily.

 

Any other questions?  Feel free to email me!  Thank you for your concern!
