Purple is Not Really My Fave Color

Although I like the color purple, it's not a color

I wear very often!

But . . . 

it is currently featured big on my left eye and face!

Shortly after the accident

Holy smokes -- I've got a shiner!

Some of you have already seen it on FB, but for those

who haven't, I thought I'd share on the blog too.

Really getting purple!

It happened due to a weird little accident!

I had a run-in with a ladder!

Yes, I actually ran into a ladder sticking out of the

flatbed of a truck that was parked in a place it

shouldn't have been.  I wasn't watching where I was 

walking and walked right into the bottom of the ladder!

It hit both sides of my face, but the left side much harder!

It immediately swelled up so much that my eye nearly swelled shut,
so I went to an Urgent Care

to make sure I didn't break a facial bone.

I didn't break anything and luckily I didn't poke my eye out!

So, here's your PSA for this week -- 

watch where you're walking!

Guess what -- parent/teacher conferences at high school
were on the schedule for the day after the accident!
I scared every teacher and all the other parents at school with
my black eye!

At least Maddy's teachers and the school principal will remember me!
Yes, I made quite the impression!

Have a great weekend and
be careful out there!
