Zombies + ER = Love?

If you asked me what the show "The Walking Dead" was on Monday morning, I would tell you it was some show that came on TV that everyone talked about and it had to do with Zombies.

And that was all I knew.

I know, I know.  I don't watch "The Walking Dead".  But if it makes you feel any better I only learned about "How I Meet Your Mother" in January, and the names "Sons of Anarchy", "the New Girl" and "Keeping Up With Kardashians" all don't mean much to me either.

The truth is, the Urban Farmer and I DON'T watch TV much.  Our normal day involves going to work.  Hitting up the gym or happy hour, then making it home around 7.  Giving us enough time to have dinner together and then pass out.  (Sounds like a fun couple -- I know)

The only reason we have cable is because it came with the internet, and I love watching "Dance Moms".

So, as you can tell, the Urban Farmer and I are not "in tune" with popular culture.

Now the Urban Farmer plays in a band, called Old Rag Mountain Remedy (ORMR), that for the most part play rock, blue grass and whatever they would like to play.  About three weeks ago, ORMR recorded a song about Zombies -- because like every other warm blooded, beer drinking guys they think Zombies are the sh*t.

While recording this song, the Urban Farmer heard about said show called the Walking Dead, but like me, he had NO idea what it was about.

Now, my story brings me to Monday.  My loving Urban Farmer had a knee injury and was "Down for the Count" but since he is like me, nothing is going to make him sit on his butt for a couple days to allow his body the rest he needed to recover, I had to pull out the BIG GUNS.

On Netflix, there are seasons 1, 2 and 3 of the Walking Dead, and I thought just maybe, if I put on an episode he would relax and let the recovery time occur.

I CREATED A MONSTER!

Non-stop, for the past 48 hours, I feel like my life has been about the show.

Now, not to offend the 90% of the internet that is DEVOTED to Zombies, I am in NO way dissing the Walking Dead or Zombies.  In all honesty I have enjoyed the first 24 hours of this "Marathon" that we have been having.

But at this point in my "Zombie" journey... I am spent.

If I have to see a dead person or guts one more time I may scream!  I would kill for an episode of "Sex and the City" right about now (told ya, not keeping up with the times).

You know how when you watch too much of something, it starts to become your real life -- that is where I am.  I feel like Rick, Lori and Carl may get a Christmas card from us and if I see Shane out in public I'm going to pick up my cell phone and pretend to be pre-occupied.

Even yesterday, when I took the Urban Farmer to the ER for his knee he starts to remind me how the story starts off in a hospital and that we are not safe from the Zombies.  I proceeded to remind him that both my knees work fine and I will be able to run a lot faster than him (if that's not true love, then I don't know what is).

Yup, you heard that right, I had to take the Urban Farmer to the ER.  Which brings me to the real reason I wrote (This is the part where those of y'all reading for zombies just go ahead and skip to the end).

The other day I had to take the day off of work to take the Urban Farmer to the ER.  His knee was the size of my head!   And after 3 and a half hours, a X-Ray and some shots, we got to come home and the Urban Farmer got to watch more "Walking Dead".

But as the doctor requested, he is getting all the rest and relaxation that he needs to feel better.

Now, I am just hoping and praying that the rest will have my Urban Farmer up and ready to go for the weekend.

But isn't that what love is about?  In our vows, the priest told us that we will promise to love each other in sickness and in health.  And although I think the Urban Farmer is taking this whole in "sickness and in health" thing a little to seriously -- sitting there in the hospital room with him by my side reaffirmed me how committed to this man I want to be for the rest of my life.

I know that one day we will be back in the hospital.  Maybe next time it will be me sitting in the bed giving birth to our first child, or him with another injury.  Either way, love is knowing who you want sitting next to you in one of your most vulnerable moments.  And I will ALWAYS chose the Urban Farmer

So although the other day I had to take a day off of work, and sit in the ER for 3 and a half hours I would do it again in a heart beat for the Urban Farmer.

So tonight, while the Urban Farmer gets better and enjoys watching season two of the Walking Dead, the Busy Girl is calling it a night, thinking of her love and praying that she does not have a Zombie dream!

Love,
Busy Girl

P.S.  You know that Zombie Song ORMR is working on?  I hope to have the link to the song on here once they get it on-line.  I promise you, it is the best Zombie song you'll ever hear!
