The Agony Of DaFeet

I know, cheesy title, but seriously, walking isn't such an easy task these days for Natasha. It's painful, and if you're aware of my wife's sick, deranged obsession with shoes, you know that she aches every time we pass DSW or PayLess shoes. She tried everything...putting her feet up, surgical stockings, open-toe shoes, velcro...you name it she tried it, and no matter what she did, her feet got swollen and they hurt like a mofo. However, she awaits the day when the water goes away and the feet deflate back to their regular size, so she can slide these puppies into something comfortable and be comfortable. Until then, she should start throwing out shoes that she doesn't want. I think Donald Trump and Rosie O'Donnell have a better chance of coming to a truce before that happens.

Baby Update: We went to Dr. Cohen on Tuesday and things are progressing nicely. Dr. Cohen doesn't think Baby O is going to wait until his due date, and Mommy certainly wants his due date to be yesterday, but Baby O is taking his sweet time. Dr. Cohen suggested several options to jump-start the contractions, so we'll definitely take one piece of his advice.

So, the last week has been an interesting one. The closing on our apartment was postponed because the seller's attorney dropped the ball and did not bring the necessary papers. The seller is a great guy who we've had not one problem with, but his attorney is a ___________. Suffice to say that we should tentatively be closing at the end of the month...funny, that's when our son is to be here. Great going, seller's attorney!

We purchased a living room set. The one that followed us from Hagerstown to Beckley did not make it on the moving truck, which Natasha was thrilled about because she hated the style anyway, so this was the perfect opportunity for us to finally get something we want, not buy something because it's all we can afford. Here are pictures of the couch and chair-and-a-half. If you come to the house, there will be no seating charges.


Last, but certainly not least, Susan and Chris were up here to celebrate Susan's 21st birthday. So, we took them to Havana's, a terrific Cuban cuisine restaurant on 46th Street, just off Times Square in New York City. Here are some pics from that fun afternoon.

ONE HOT MAMASITA!!!!!!

That's it for now!!! Until the next OX blog...................
