Ow. Sigh.

So my first time out on my xmas roller skates was a complete disaster. Our alley/driveway is extremely rustic: It may as well be a gravel road. And I should have known better, I should have walked to the end of it and THEN put on my skates, but no, I was feeling ambitious. And distracted for one split second by a neighbor, I fell.

Hard.

I sucked it up and did the promised round in the (smooth) driveway next door. Then hobbled in to see what was what. Ari’s face was classic, I should have taken a picture of that.

Before clean up:

And after, with liberal slathering of polysporin that has pain killer in it:

Looks better but trust me, it hurts, a lot, and is bleeding through the bandaid.  And it’s got some strange numbness around it too. I haven’t had a knee injury like this for so long I forgot what they were like.

I’m getting knee pads. And wrist guards.

For Libs mostly

Did you know that they have cool Vivienne Westwood glasses at Walmart?

I like the clear/black ones at the bottom of the first picture.  And the red frames in the middle. They’re locked down in the store so you can’t actually try them on without asking for help.

Sorry for the blur.

It’s not yet, but almost

Even though I have another week until  I turn 38 (THIRTY-FUCKING-EIGHT-ZOMG!!!?!1) I’ve gotten lots of birthday love so far. Not just the most incredible (and apparently jealous making in some) car in the world, but a stunning necklace from Ashley. And some beautiful lamp work beads that  I need to figure out what to do with. Then a giant pack of Threadless shirts came in the mail today, 3 for me.

That brings my collection of  Threadless shirts up to an even 87, I think.

I suck at self-portraits. I can’t smile and take a picture at the same time, it’s just too hard.

Thursday I am off to St. Catharines to see my parents and do a little cross-border shopping. Target, you’ve been warned!

Fun for all

It’s exciting when a new tattoo shop opens, especially when there is free beer involved. Oh, and sushi and vegan cupcakes-not that I ate any of those. Bill Baker has finally opened the doors to his new place, The Pearl Harbor Gift Shop and Tattoos. It’s a catchy name, I know. And they’ve done an amazing  job on renovations and decorations. It’s probably the prettiest shop in town, seriously. Stupidly, I only took one picture last night, I was having that much fun.

Exterior:

Not that Bill or Daniel or Glennie need my wishes of good luck (and not that I believe in luck anyway)-all three of them are incredibly talented. So, I guess it’s lots of love and see you soon!

Also, these crackers gave me the giggles yesterday.

Hee hee!
