no laughing

let me just start by saying i know i have ugly toenails. (kendle and adrian and possibly mom, you don't need to comment about that.) this story is about something else but it happens to include my ugly toenails. so here goes.

once upon a time i ran the rex lee run. my shoes were just a tiny bit too small and for some reason, i chose to wear thick socks, making the shoes even smaller. after the race i took a shower and got ready for the day and noticed the tip of my toe was a little sore and red. no big deal, i thought. well, later that day, i noticed something strange. a blister had formed on the tip of my toe where no one else could even get a blister but since my toenail is so very odd (and non-existent), i could and i did.

[it got weirder looking than this... sorry you can barely see it.]

i let it heal and everything was going smashingly. then saturday (yesterday) i was getting ready and accidentally knocked over my tiny strawberry plant pot and it landed directly on my toe. [side note: sorry mom and kendle. i couldn't make them grow. :(] so now, i have blister remains and a new lovely blood blister, all on a place where everyone else would have a nail, but i just have a very sensitive toe tip apparently.

[lovely, eh?]

Oh, sad! I have always hated my big toes and know the feeling. At least it's a legitimate WOUND and not gross "mosaic warts" like I dealt with last year... ;) I'm just glad you photo-documented this for me.

aaahhhhh!!! First and foremost, props to you for even documenting this event. Because if I had your toes....well... you know. I love how everything was going smashingly and then it smashed your toe. ;) Seriously sorry though. Because that is GROSS!

If it makes you feel any better, I have a wicked huge blister on my baby toe. It might even be bigger than my actual toe. It's a beast, I tell you. I hate my baby toe the way you hate your big toe. We should start a funky toe club! :)

kendle's strawberrries are growing like crazy. She has 4 full grown strawberries. But she'll blog them today.

Sorry about your toe. To be fair--you totally get them from your DAD.

Love you! 35 days and counting!
10 till Kendle's with you.
