fashionable footwear
I can’t decide…which do you prefer?
So here’s the {real} story. I was putting A to bed last night…and tripped over her in the hallway. I heard a loud SNAP. After 15 minutes laying on her bed in the fetal position my jammed toe had not stopped burning. I came downstairs and annouced to Mr. P, “I broke my foot”. I iced it and tried not to be a pathetic whiner (for the record I was a huge wimp). I decided to forgo heading out into the drifts to get it looked at and went to bed. Except I couldn’t sleep because it felt like a forklift was backing up over my foot. So I facebooked. And emailed a few people (sorry if you were one of the ones who received messages at 3am from me). This morning my foot was glorious shades of amethyst, heliotrope, and indigo. So I did what any sane person would do…put on my sock and a gallon ziploc baggie and drove myself to the doctor {walking through the drifts of snow in 1* temps with a baggie on your foot could be a new form of self mutany}. My poor “this little piggie had none” toe was broken clean through. Right where it meets my foot. Six weeks to heal. Aren’t I lucky?
Here’s where I need YOUR HELP!
That story is SO lame. I can’t bear to repeat it a billion times when each person I meets comments on my new footwear. So leave me a comment with a better tale won’t ya??
My toe THANKS you 
AND DON’T FORGET that there are only 48 hours to vote for the BEST of 2009 contest. There have been about 500 votes so far…WOOHOO! And the last I checked there was a TIE BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND CONTENDERS {and no…I’m not gonna say who they are til Sunday!}
Skiing in Colorado, right?
Which do I prefer? Well, the blue shoe does look nice with your jean color.
You poor thing! I don’t have a good story you can use, but I sure hope the pain at least goes away quickly! Maybe it’s a forced “slow down”
Time to curl up on the sofa (yea right!) and read a couple of mags while the hubby dotes on you. Sounds good – at least in theory, right?
Crazy, I broke the same toe on the same foot this summer…I was wearing flip flops and slipped on the rocks in front of my house, when I slipped I gripped with my toes to tightly, and broke the fourth toe on my left foot, right at the foot….took me eight weeks to recover completely…Sorry
I think “I tripped over my child but didn’t hurt HER” is perfect. What’s wrong with that ?????
You poor thing, I don’t have a good story but I broke my toe taking the trash out two years ago. I broke it on the lawn mower in the garage because I was in a hurry and didn’t turn the light on. Hurt like heck! Get well soon!
I like what Nancy said!! Seriously though, hope it heals soon. On a side note, love your flats! Care to share where you got them??
Knowing you, you will make that boot fashionable in no time! It will be the next big trend!
Ouch!! I’m relieved to have a friend as clumsy as I am….but I’m so sorry you hurt yourself!!!! I say we send a picture to J.Crew as inspiration for their next line of shoes…..LOL!!!!
long haircuts…
Thank you for the good writeup. It in fact was a amusement account it. Look advanced to far added agreeable from you! However, how can we communicate?…
