I've got a crush (-ed toe) on you!


Well, folks, I had a little accident in the bathroom the other day.


No, not what you are thinking.


Rather, I injured my toe quite badly. I couldn't believe how much a little toe could hurt - it turned dark purple, and I couldn't walk on it.


Because of the back situation, I found very quickly that limping was not good for me. So, I decided to go to the ER and see if I fractured anything. The doctors asked what happened, and I explained: A HUGE, bulk bottle of pantene conditioner dropped directly onto my toe.


However, the doctor told me my story was pretty lame, so I asked Lindsay to come up with another one. The better story, courtesy of Lindsay?


"Better story, eh? Hmm....let's see....you were hunting elk in the middle of the night through a dense, snow covered forest. While setting up your bow and arrow, ready to strike a huge beast, you were suddenly attacked by a rogue emu, who had absolutely no business being in a dense, snow covered forest in the middle of the night. The emu ran up to you, looked you straight in the eyes, and stomped on your foot, breaking your toe. Then he ran off laughing wildly. And he made you miss the awesome shot to kill the elk. Damn him!"


Yeah, I like that one!
It turns out that my toe isn't fractured, rather it is a "crush injury." I need to keep it buddy taped to the toe next to it, and wear one of those special shoes for about a week.
At least it wasn't worse :)

The Aformentioned Red Toenails... Of DOOM!!!





By special request (that's you, Zilla!), here is a photo of the luvely toenails, so innocently painted before my less-than-graceful fall at the salon.

(plus, I get to live out my lifelong dream of being a foot model....)
