Joby's BlogBlog of a Bald Fat Guy

If you follow me on Twitter or are Friends with me on Facebook,  you know I tend to go on about certain things I like.

Today I want to go one step further and bring to your attention the awesomeness of LadyUmbrellaLTD.

Based in Dublin Ireland and run by two of the most energetic, never sleeping, quite inventive folks I have ever had the pleasure to meet (on or offline).

I started following them on Twitter due to a mutual followship of RizzoTees and have really become a fan of their work and they way the interact with their clients, fans, and friends.

I even won a bag from them for Kim. It came with a handwritten note from Rob and Elena.

Rob and Elena put everything they have into their line of ladies tee’s and bags and it shows.

Instead of me running on and on here, give them a look-see. If you like what you see, be sure and use the code LuFranczek15 for 15% off.

RizzoTees has some of the coolest T-Shirts I have seen.

I bought this one

The tongue-in-cheek humor of his shirts is priceless, the quality of the tee is outstanding, and his choice of models is out of this world

I have had the pleasure of chatting and tweeting with the owner.  What a real down to Earth fellow.  He cares about his customers before and after the sale.

I had a hard time deciding what shirt I wanted. After narrowing my choice down to two I tweeted and asked the Tweet-o-sphere to help me chose.  When I finally landed on the TCP/IP shirt, Chris made sure I would have it in my hands before Christmas… He even Tweeted a photo of it in the mailer… I was rather amused.

Originally I had planned to hang it on the wall of my office, but once I received it I quickly changed my mind. Now every time it comes out of the wash, I put it on

The shirt did not come alone. RizzoTees also included a package of BaconSalt from baconsalt.com.

I am wearing the shirt in the video in my past post ‘Catch up video‘

This has been one crazy week (or so…)

Friday 3/12
We headed south to Moundsville to Grand Vue Park. (grandvuepark.com) for the Winter Happening for Christian Endeavour (CE).

We stayed there through Sunday morning. See wvce.info for somewhat of an update. I need to post more there

Sunday 3/14
Sunday was my beautiful brides birthday so we went to Smokey Bones in Robinson PA for dinner. Talk about yummy!

Sunday night is when things started to go awry…

It was the opening night of the Hancock County Crusade.

Nick was asked to sing. He is only 9 so that is a great honor for him. I played guitar for him while he sang City on our knees by TobyMac.

I was feeling quite sinusy but could not let my boy down.

Monday 3/15
On Monday I woke up for work with a headache so strong I could not tollerate light so I stayed home from work. I ended up sleeping the majority of the day.

It was also my late brother Bobbys birthday. He would have been 39.

Tuesday 3/16
Not much different than Monday. Stayed home with the headache.

Wednesday 3/17
My 2yr Anniversary at US Steel, but I was stuck at home with the headache only this time it was accompanied by nausea. Blah!!!

Thursday 3/18
One more day at home but with a trip to the doctor. He said the headache was not sinus but more tension caused by something muscular or even a kink in my neck. He sent me to have a CT Scan for safety sake. He also prescribed me two medicines. One for nightly use and one to take when/if I get another headache. I was also told to saty home one moe day to test the affects of the nightly pill.

Friday 3/19
I woke feelling pretty well. The headache was still around, but not nearly as bad. We also had movie night at the church for 3rd grade and up.

Saturday 3/20
The headache was still hanging about. Just enough for me to know it was there. I helped a buddy with his computer. The wife and I decided to head to her grandmothers for the weekend. She is not doing well. Gramma has cancer. Her health has been deminishing slowly.

That brings us to today.
We ate breakfast at the hotel and drove over to Grammas house. After a couple hours, I brought out younges son and my niece back to the hotel to swim for a little while. Then we drove back to Grammas. We are about to pack up and head on home to get ready for the Easter egg hunt for CE.
