I see your true colors shining through...


A week later and my run in with the concrete post is showing it's colors better than ever. It's kind of hard to tell but my entire knee cap is still a little swollen and it is yellow w/ splotches of purple and on the outside lower part of my knee it is entirely purple. Pretty eh? Purple and yellow, just for the Vikings! Too bad it's a buy week for them! Haha! This isn't even including the hefty (but nowhere near as bad) bruising I have on my left knee, left elbow and upper right thigh. Yep. I'm slick.

So to everyone out there, beware of those pesky concrete posts. They are sneaky little fuckers. You won't even know what hit you until you are flat on your arse and crying in the wind and rain and having your husband, sister and boyfriend look down at you and laughing at your graceful (read: klutzy) fall. (This winner of a picture was taken minutes after my fall. Notice how my darling hubby is smiling and holding my stupid broken umbrella which was the cause of my fall. Zero sympathy. Thanks.) Real nice.

You'd think that my sister would be more sympathetic to my fall being that not long ago she took a spill down concrete steps at work. So yeah, the smoothness... it must run in the family. Take a look at her goodies. We are awesome.
On a side note, on Sunday I will have had this blog going for 2 years! I can't believe it's been that long already. I'm not asking for any congrats messages. I just want to tell you all that it has been a blast and I'm going to keep on keepin on w/ the blog even if sometimes I get a little boring. Just don't read me if I ramble! :) Love you guys!

Cheers~

It's the inside-out umbrella that really kills me. It's like the cherry on top of the photo. Wait. You know what I mean.

I always seem to have bruises on my leg and never remember where they came from. The fun part is making up stories on how they occurred. Maybe I should just start going out in bubble wrap...

Congrats on your blog-a-vers-ary! So glad you're sticking around!

Ohh no, ouch! I've had my fair share of scary bruises too...once I fell down the stairs at a bar and looked like I got into a serious brawl. Hope you heal up soon!

Concrete posts are no joke...I ran into one while walking around in DC. I was spared a nasty bruise only because I had my camera in my pocket which protected my leg. Camera was no more after that run in though.
