Failed!!!

Well I got bad news last week. Two days after taking the one hour glucose test, I got a call saying that I had failed the test. The nurse told me that they want the test results to come back showing 140 or less, and mine was 142. I failed by two points :(:(
The nurse told me that I would have to make an appointment for the three hour test, so I made an appointment for this last Wednesday morning. So again, no food or drink (not even gum) after 11pm on Tuesday night. Luckily I was off from work. We got up on Wednesday morning and went to take my test. I thought that I would have to drink that gross sugar drink and then come back in three hours and have my blood drawn. We had stuff to do, so it would be enough time for me to get my errands done, and then go back and have my blood work done. I was wrong! I had to have my blood drawn, drink that nasty stuff, and then was told to come back every hour to have my blood drawn again. So after drinking the sugar drink, Joe and I went to HEB to get a puzzle book and magazine to occupy our three hour stay. The time went by pretty quick. I was glad not to have to sit there by myself. I had blood taken four times. I felt fine until after the last time blood was taken. After the last blood was taken, Joe and I went to get food (since I hadn't eaten in twelve hours). I started feeling very bad. I was weak and shaking all over. I knew it was due to not having any food and having all of that blood taken. After eating I felt a little better, but not 100% so we went home and both took a two hour nap. After my nap I was much better. (Not much that I good nap can't help!).


BASEBALL
Everyone that knows Joe, knows that he is a huge Boston Red Sox fan (he got me to be a fan too)! We wanted to go to Boston this summer, but for obvious reasons, that got a little postponed. After going to the Red Sox/Ranger game last year, we decided that when the Red Sox came back to Arlington we would have to get tickets to the game. The game for this year is scheduled for July 20th (I think). We had planned on going to the game, but I told Joe that we would probably be a little preoccupied with our new little red sox fan. Since we wouldn't get to go to the Red Sox game, we figured any baseball game would be fun, so we found some cheap tickets for the Rangers and the Orioles. We invited Ryan to go with us for his birthday. (Wednesday...the 15th was Ryan's 19th birthday! I can't believe my little brother is growing up so fast. I told him that even though he is 19, he will always be my little baby brother). The afternoon after my three hour test (and our two hour nap) we headed for Arlington Ballpark. We had a good time! Our seats were pretty good. We were right next to the visiting team's bull pen so we got to see all of their pitchers warming up. It was dollar hot dog night! I now know why they are only one dollar. The were little and barely warm, but I still ate two. I could have spent $4.50 and had a nice hot jumbo dog, but why would I spend that when I can get five 'dollar' dogs for the price of one jumbo one. Even though the Red Sox weren't playing we still had fun. We left during the bottom of the 7th inning, and the score was 14 to 3 (Rangers were winning). We got home about midnight. We were exhausted.
A few days after the game, Joe was watching some of the replays from the game we were at and he paused it to see if we could see ourselves. There were quite a few plays that were near us, and we could see where we were sitting, but it was too blurred to figure out who was who. Joe also found out that the Red Sox will be back in Arlington in August. I told him that we could possibly go to one of those games (maybe).
