Zero running... so depressing.  I'm starting to think that my injury is more than a pulled muscle and am contemplating going to the doctor.  How does a doctor check something like that?  Anyhow, what have I been up to in the meantime???

Working!   Here is a picture of Burt and I hard at work LOL.  (Can you tell we are working hard).  Okay, we were on a site visit, checking out different design constraints for a proposal that I'm writing... and at the tail end of the project, there is a lake (owned by our client) to hold the water at the end of the irrigation system.  We were checking out the potiential impacts of the project on the lake, when Burt decided to take a group shot.  So, though it doesn't look like it, we truely *were* working.  (I have some good blackmale pictures of Burt from that site visit...  I'll have to remember to post them later)

 

Okay... here is a picture, pre Melanie, of me doing something I love to do, but haven't been able to do since I decided to hurt myself...  Hiking.  I'm trying to cheer myself up, can you tell?  It's hard to be positive when I can't hold my daughter and walk at the same time... but I *can* still play with her on the floor.  Anyhow, this picture below is of me on top of Camelback Mountain.  It's ironic and fun because I've been called Camel for most of my life, so It's a Camel on a Camel's Back.  Okay, that was pretty lame, wasn't it?

The following picture is from one of the happiest days of my life (Having Melanie is good competition for the Happiest Day, so I can't really pick just one).  The goofy guy to my right is my brother (Christopher).  As you can tell, the short gene runs in my family!  (Poor guy!).  Our anniversary is next Saturday!  Doesn't Brandon look Handsome!!!

So, as you can tell, it's been a hard week (In several different ways)  But, I'll be okay :o)

*** Added... Because Burt asked for it ***

Here is a picture of Burt, preforming the all time favorite "I'm a Little Teapot"

And here he is deep in thought...

Insert evil laugh. Maahahahaha

You guys look great!

Did you mom dress your brother this time? jk :)

Get your stuff checked by a doctor, what are you waiting for?

From Camille on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 09:49:33

ACtually, Brandon and I dressed my brother. But, I did NOT do his hair LOL. He dyed it maroon for our wedding. Nice, huh? He's a goof!

From montelepsy on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 09:54:09

One day I too will have the courage to dye my hair, but not anytime soon.

Are you cross-training?

From Camille on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 09:58:18

walking? but it hurts. No. I'm a loser, and haven't been doing anything, really.

From marion on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 09:59:15

Fun pictures! I am so sorry you are hurt! That is a big bummer :( Hang in there! Seeing the Doc is always a GREAT idea.

From seeaprilrun on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 14:50:06

Hang in there with your injury! It will heal! Hope it gets better soon!

From Burt on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 15:07:38

Camille, why did you post that picture??? You're dead meat. Meet me by the bars at recess.

From Camille on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 15:15:17

dude... I could have posted the picture of you posing as a "little teapot"

From Burt on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 15:17:44

...and I'm sure you will. You're lucky the car got in the picture when you did your Walk-like-an-Egyptian pose.

From Camille on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 15:19:27

you saw that?!? I didn't know you saw me doing that, you looked all serious and stuff.

From Camille on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 15:33:42

Burt.... maaahahahaha....

From kungfublonde on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 16:28:52

Yes! This is what I was replying to when I somehow posted it on Walter's. Seriously- too many paint fumes in here! I think our brothers would have gotten along quite well.

I think Burt looks like he's doing the robot in that one picture. So that's still pretty cool. :)

From Lucia on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 16:30:29

Too funny!!! And booooooo to the possible injury!

From Camille on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 16:30:45

Dang it... you think Burt is cool. I guess that's okay!

My brother is such a goof ball. I love him to death. Right now he is sporting a Mohawk. Why on earth did Mr. T have to make those so popular?

From Burt on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 16:37:32

Holy crud, Camille! These were supposed to be private pictures! How did you even access them if you're not at work?

From Camille on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 16:44:27

Maaa ha ha ha....

From Kelli on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 17:12:46

Sorry you are still not doing better!! That is a bummer, but at least you and Burt appear to have fun while you CLAIM to be working!

From Camille on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 17:28:47

oh, there was working being done... but if I posted those pictures, you would all die from boredom, and I wouldn't have anyone to chat with anymore. It's a good thing my boss isn't a fastrunning blogger.

From Camille on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 19:14:06

okay, I did... I made the appointment with my doctor. So, hopefully tomorrow at 2:45 pm, I'll have a better understanding of what in heaven's name is wrong with me.
