JR's surgery

Don't have a ton of time to write (The Office is coming on; that's all-important), but I wanted to mention that JR had his second knee surgery last Thursday, a week ago. So far, he's recovering normally, but probably won't be released to return to work for at least another 6-8 weeks. In the meantime, he's doing some excercises at home and taking it easy while he heals from a rather invasive surgery. They lengthened a tendon and removed a chunk of stray cartilege. The doc says it's very similar to Greg Oden's injury last year. I'm SUPER busy taking care of him, the house, the kids, and the magazine, which is why these posts will probably be sparse for a while!

Sweetest husband ever

I posted on Facebook today that I have the sweetest husband ever. Then I got several friends asking what he did that was so fantastic. So, although his gestures are small and simple, they mean the world to me, so I figured I'd post it on my blog for everyone to see. (In other words, indulge me so I can brag for a minute about my guy.)

Last night I had a mini breakdown, just feeling like the weight of the world is on my shoulders. I cried to JR and we had a long and effective talk about everything that's going on right now (nothing anybody else needs to be worried about, just stuff).

Rewind to several weeks ago; I went into my favorite radio station (94.7 fm) to do a half hour with the DJ and play 5 songs of my choosing. For going in, I received a prize, which was tickets to a show for a very cool artist named Santogold. I was excited until I realized the show was on Sunday and we couldn't go. No biggie, I had a blast on the air with a DJ I've been listening to since middle school. But then, today JR surprised me by telling me he got in touch with the radio station and told them we hadn't been able to make it, and they are giving us tickets to a new show (a band called Wild Sweet Orange - listen to them on my playlist to the right). Fun! Then to top it off, he made a big yummy dinner for us! What a guy!
