I hope you've eaten breakfast already, because I am going to make you SICK!


Lindsay is the kind of person who is up for anything. I swear, you could call her and say, "I'm having a colonoscopy today and she would say, "Do you need me to watch your kids, or would you like me to spread your cheeks apart?" She is the person who has helped me redecorate, watched my kids more times than I can count, and who has told me to stop wearing certain jeans. It shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone that she called yesterday and said, "How about we put the bookcase together that you bought?" Bruce and I had been to Ikea, and we all knew he did not have time for this little project. She grabbed lunch. Kiki ordered 80 fry sauces with fries and a quesadilla on the side. Here she enjoys the fry sauce.

She sucks the containers and licks them until they are perfectly clean.

After lunch we started on the office re-do. Pictures will follow as soon as I tie up a few loose ends. We are consolidating from two desks to one, so Lindsay and I had to slide a big giant desk out of the way so we could put the bookcase where it needed to be. During the sliding, a computer tower tipped over and landed right on my foot. I said a very VERY bad word.

I know that some of you are secretly disappointed that I never managed to post a picture of my furminator injury, so hopefully this makes up for it.

SICK!!

I showed it to Merrilee last night and she gagged and thrashed about because she was so disgusted. Don't remark on my lack of pedicure, because I still have the puncture wounds showing on my foot, (the SAME foot, all the luck) and am taking no chances. I didn't even bother to seek medical care since I still have a bad taste in my mouth from the last time.

Hopefully you can get your appetites back after witnessing such an injury and a kid eating straight fry sauce.

I think you need to start your own durable medical equipment company. I have some spare crutches...would you like them UPS'd. So sorry about your toe!!

Ouch! Bless your heart. That looks sick and rather painful too. I am hoping this is the end of your feet woes. No worries about the bad word. I am sure your were swearing and praying at the same time. That's what I do: "Oh, #$@##$! Please bless that I still have a toe!"

If you keep this trend up we might have to call you peg leg.

I love that my friendship is compared to spreading apart butt cheecks. Although I must admit I most likely would... As for your toe this picture doesnt even do it justice and it looks way worse today. Thanks for comming to Prestons hot dog/blue berry muffin pic nic... xoxo

Do you own any shoes? Perhaps you should invest in some steel tip boots. They have to be a better alternative than these injuries. Maybe you should wear a helmet too, just until your luck starts to turn. Heaven knows you are due!

That is disgusting! I was almost ready to complain about life but I guess I should "count my blessings". Is it just me, or is that phrase often annoying?

Tell Kiki to check out my blog...Right on the top of the page is Lani covered in yogurt...no that isn't gel in her hair. The girls are going to get along beautifully!
About the injuries...I'm with Christy, you need to look into some hockey gear or something. It just isn't safe for you anymore! So sorry about the beating you are taking. I have found not working so hard helps me stay injury free :)
