Evolution

I just thought y'all might like to see the evolution of the blood donation bruising. The first picture, which you can see in my post titled "Blood Donor", was taken 24 hours after donation. We are now at 5 days after donation.

Notice how it spread to that lovely spot above my elbow and it's changing to a nice shade of yellow.

We went to Safe Place (a shelter) as a Girl Scout troop to plant flowers tonight and I felt I needed to explain the bruise to anyone who noticed it so as not to have anyone thinking that my husband abuses me! No, not really, but that would be kind of funny!

And on that note, as I was walking to the area of the parking lot where we were gathering, I walked into a dip in the asphalt. This of course sent me on a collision course with the ground and I banged up my knees. My left hurts pretty bad to move, (i.e. walk) and was bleeding some. The right is not so bad. I will spare you the pictures--since I didn't take any!

On a MUCH cuter note, here are some pictures of Ashlee (aka The Bug) with her hand-made indonesian drum and her much beloved Dora sunglasses. She calls the drum baby, since it was the smallest of the drums at the Sam's Club "Bali Extravaganza" road show that I was working for the last 3 weeks. She played with it most of the days that she went to "work" with me, so on Monday (the last day) I bought it for her. She was so good when she had to go with me I had to reward her, right?




**My mistake, those are actually Shaylee's Littlest Pet Shop sunglasses. Ashlee is no respector of sunglasses
