New Purchase.

So last week Akhil had the whole entire week off! He gets so much vacation time (a ton more than me), he ends up spending a lot of solo time at home! So with his down time he decided to get his oil changed on his car and then he came home with a brand new car! The boring thing is that he got the SAME EXACT CAR HE HAD! He called me at work to tell me and I told him that it was the most boring thing ever to get that same exact car. He didn't take into account my opinion because I rarely ever drive his car. Akhil terminiated his lease 6 months early because he was so overmileage on his lease that it was cheaper to terminate and get another Infiniti. His car payment gets expensed anyways so I didn't see the big deal getting something different since we don't even pay for his car. But he decided to be the plain simple person that he is (sometimes that is!) and get the same thing...

Remains of Hurricane Ike.

On Sunday night we had a super crazy windstorm. It was a bit scary looking out the window to see the trees waving back and forth at a near right angle. I thought for sure one would end up through the middle of our house. Our patio chairs and flower pots were flying all over the yard...I felt bad for the flowers and I also felt bad for how much time I have spent keeping them healthy! Luckily the winds calmed down before bedtime so I was able to go to bed. I was quite scared to go to bed and awaken to something soaring through our window and then my head to end up decapitated, all right on my pillow!

Akhil was enjoying the windstorm as a much as Mary Poppins enjoys them...he was hanging out at the Browns game. He toughed it out like a boyscout in the wind and rain to see them lose (as usual).

Well most of Cleveland has been out of power since Sunday night but somehow we ended up on the lucky part of town. We lost power for a few hours on Monday which was fine with me because I was at work and Akhil was at home (recovering from the weekend of loses) with nothing to do! haha! It was only out for 2-3 hours. By the time I came home everything was all good! Many people are still without power including Akhil's mom who hasn't had power since Sunday...yikes!


Here are some pics of property damage here. (courtesy of the cleveland.com)

AHHHH A SNAKE!!!

When went to get the mail today, I found this disgusting reptile at my mailbox to greet me! I let out a HUGE scream and the two neighbors outside just looked at me! I was frozen and scared to move. Then one yelled "Oh, do you see a bee?"...My thoughts were, why would I scream if I saw a bee, freak??? Bees are everywhere. I am not that much of a whimp! I said "No, its a snake!!!" (in a very slow hushed tone..I didn't want it to hear and attack me!). Then the one neighbor came over and laughed at me, the other just stayed on his driveway and ask "How big?" I showed him measurements with my hands. Then he said "Well contact me if you see a snake as big as you!" Then they both started talking about the one guy's new car.

I called Akhil to come home from work and catch it. For some reason he laughed and said no! So now I am inside with the garage door shut and all the windows closed. SICK!


I did brave it and run back outside to snap a picture to show my blog readers...here you go!

Browns Home Opener

On Sunday we went to the Browns Home Opener with our friends. It is the only game that I go to because its tons of fun and its hot outside! We have gone every year with Akhil's friends that he has grown up with. They are all die hard Cleveland Browns fans who all fly into town with their wives for the game. Good thing we live here so we don't have to go anywhere on a Sunday to see them play! Bad thing is that I have to deal with my crazy, roudy, drunk husband every year at this game. (I must admit, I am very much so humored by him at the game though!)


I was sad I didn't see Jessica Simpson at the game. : ( I had my eye out for her. She wasn't even on the jumbotron! I guess Tony Romo made her stay home!

Post Op Checkup

Yesterday Akhil had his 2 week post surgery check up with his surgeon. His wound is healing very well and Akhil is now permitted to all normal activity. His doctor also asked him to give his partners this note here which he wrote on a prescription pad.



If you can't read it, it says:

Sanj and Harish (Akhil's partners)

Patient is cleared for clear liquid diet on weekends. (meaning alcohol). Otherwise off work until 4-5 months post op to ensure adequate recovery. Call if any questions.

Woooohooo! I wish this was a real order! haha!
