She called it the "worst weekend ever."...

A friend of mine managed to injure her foot this weekend...
Friend: ... so I suffered through the night taking like 100 extra strength Tylenol and my friend took me to an urgent care place the next morning. They did some x-rays - no broken bones, but I damaged some tendons so I have a lovely walking boot and crutches. So I didn't do anything this weekend, except somehow managed to clean my apartment and another friend took me grocery shopping. She made me drive the motorized cart.
Me: OMG.
Friend: An old man at the grocery store took my picture for me.
Me: OMG again. That is hilarious.
Friend: We both had hoped I would crash into a display but no luck.
Me: HAHAHA!!
Friend: It was actually kind of awful because i was in everyone's way (actually they were in mine) and the cart died in the checkout lane. That was the highlight of my weekend. I didn't do anything else but lay on the couch, watch movies, and eat... And I met my crazy upstairs neighbor, Norman.
Me: This is the most amazing weekend story ever.

Dan: Shea, that's an amazing idea. You've just put this party over the top!
Me: And you can have boxed wine a la buster!

Mom: You're not the only outrageous one in the family?
