Scrabble, The Emergency Room & a Shit Hot Leather Jacket

So I've spent only 36 hours in the state of New Jersey so far, but it hasn't been uneventful!

1. I beat Nic at Scrabble (sorry Nic, I know you're going to read this, it was close, but it's true. I won. And we're not AT ALL competitive!) Highlight word was "Quacks" or when I ruined her turn with "Xi" (the Kinsella family alone will appreciate that one).

2. Emergency Room. In the middle of our Scrabble game, little Robert (my nephew) developed a fever of 103.5 degrees farenheit. Not good. So off we went to the Emergency Room to get him checked out.
3 hours, a lot of angry screaming, several thermometers up the butt (Robert's butt, that is), and a chest x-ray later, and we were back home at an ungodly hour of the morning. At this point I had had about 4 hours sleep in the previous 72 hours, so it was amazing I was still functional. But at least I could keep Nic company throughout what is never an enjoyable ordeal, and most importantly, Robert is fine, although he's still running a bit of a fever on and off, poor little munchkin.

3. A shit-hot leather jacket. After our late night at the hospital, we had a pretty chilled out morning with the bub, before leaving him home (watching SuperPets!) with his Dad, and hitting some local outlet stores. Lo and behold, I walk into the second store and find, hidden on a rack in the back, a black leather jacket - almost exactly the same as my blue one (for those people intimate with my wardrobe). It was the only one there, it was more than half price reduced, and it fit me like a glove! I know I'm going to Italy tomorrow, so I wasn't planning to buy leather in America - but the jacket is fucking hot. And cheap! Total shopping score. Oh and considering how much Heidi loves my blue jacket, she's going to hate me when she sees this one!
