Lots of Stuff To Talk About

(Kit and elements used can be found at www.digitalscrapbookplace.com)
EGADS! I did it again! I fell in another pothole. This is the third time I've hurt my left ankle since May 2006. And this time, the tip of the fibula is broken. Since it is a small break, I didn't need a cast. It looks like, as you can see above, someone has painted my purple bruised foot with mustard. EEEWW. My wonderful and very loving DH has been amazing. He has been doing it ALL! From cooking to cleaning, taking care of the kids and making my Avon deliveries for me. He is such a wonderful guy. I'm so lucky to have him!

Now I am left up to my own devices. I'm bored. Stiff. And it hasn't been a week yet. UGH. So I spend lots of time with my laptop, doing digital scrapbook layouts. And I have said to many that I now give up walking. Really. It's over-rated. It's like my feet have a magnet device implanted in them that attract potholes. And everytime, I step in one, then my ankle rolls outward. Not fun. At all. It's not been a year yet since my last spill. See this LO below:

In other non-ankle injury news, I got my first items for my portrait studio set up on Wednesday!
I got the Westcott 301 Photo Basics 40-Inch 5-in-1 Reflector, the Savage Seamless Background Paper, 107" wide x 12 yards, Thunder Gray, #2, and the Savage Port-a-Stand Background Support System Extends from 44" to 8'10". The background stand came with a FREE roll of 53" white seamless paper! :) Bad news - I haven't even got to open the packages yet. Yep, because of my ankle.

Next on my list is the AB400 from www.alienbees.com, and the adapter for my camera's hotshoe from Flash Zebra. And of course, some odds and ends, like a great, sturdy light stand for the AB.

Time to go learn how to decorate this blog. So I'll spare you anymore babble. Nite all!

Sorry you hurt your ankle stepping in a pothole. Ouch. I hope your ankle heals quickly and watch where you are stepping.
