Look what I can do! (Or can't)

So, Jeff is gearing up this weekend to start studying for summer semester finals. He came home from school tonight and said, this weekend, he is going to be in Braxton's room studying and I need to act like he isn't in there. (In other words ... "let me study!") So, I told him that I would need to have a few projects to do so that I could stay busy doing those insteady of staying busy bugging him. I have a few projects at home ready to start - I just needed some spray paint from the store. So, off we went in pursuit of orange and white spray paint. (I am making something for our living room & I am making a construction sign to hang in Braxton's room - hence the orange spray paint.)

Well, leave it to me to get hurt spray painting. Ok, technically I wasn't spray painting when I got hurt. After the initial pain - I was actually pretty excited to be honest! I haven't had a really good scar to add to my list of scars in a REAL long time. I loved getting scars as a child - they were my awesome battle wounds. I thought I was so buff. Okay, sometimes I still pretend I am ....

I was done spray painting my first project and was holding the door open for Braxton to come in. (I was also holding a big flat cardboard box because I needed something to place under my project so that I wouldn't get paint all over the parking lot. And, my project was still a little wet.) Braxton walks in as I am holding the door with my back, I let go of the door and try to walk in, but didn't take into account that the cardboard box was a little too large to fit through the door without a slight turn ... when "slam!" I hadn't moved quick enough and my foot, where the back tendon is, got stuck underneath the opening of the door.

Anyway ... so here you go:

A typical door

(there is a slight step up from the cement - you can't tell from this pic though.)

FUN STUFF, EH?

It does look much cooler (worse) in real life. Too bad cameras can't get the true effect!
