Bumps, Bruises, and a good dose of humility!

Okay - Since Karma's kids love gore . . .and Valerie thought they might feel cheated . . . here is a Rated G picture of the chest bruise! The road rash is pretty much gone, thanks to A&D Ointment!

But WAIT . . . would you believe . . . I hit a deer last night! Well . . . the stupid thing actually hit me! Ran right into the side/front pannel of my van! I asked Rick last night if God was trying to tell me something . . . and he ever so gently (Ha) said, "Do you remember how you didn't want to drive the "smashed, broken windshield, totaled car" to your open house so that I could work on your van? You insisted on driving your van because it wouldn't look good to have a smashed windshield in the drive of your open house . . .well . . . now your van is "smashed" and looks worse than the car." Okay, okay! Point taken! If I ever get to the point in my RE career that I can afford a Lexus - it will probably have a broken windshield!
PS - Does anyone see how white those walls are? Want to come for a painting party? Anyone?

Well, I want to know the point score from the Carlson Kids...
Looks pretty yucky to me.
I am glad you are safe...again!
I am sure your insurance company is wondering what's going on!!
Be careful! God is watching over you...that is obvious!

I had to pinch myself last night to make sure I was really not dreaming!

The Rouse House said...

OUCH! Those are definitely picture worthy!!

Maybe you should move to the city:)

Paula said...

I wouldn't be able to run around half naked and holler at my kids if I lived in the city!

The things you city-slickers miss! :D

Just tell me when - I love to paint!
Glad there wasn't any more damage or injury!

You are so good to match your shirt with your bruises!!! ha ha
I still cannot believe the deer story. Wow...I'm seeing your walls....I'd be happy to come help paint! You'll have to come over, I just got my living & dining room, kitchen and hallways painted and I love it!!!!! Color is GOOD!

Valerie said...

As long as your only half naked and not totally naked and holler, it's OK. Be careful after 10 pm, city noise ordinances! :)
Plus, there are half naked people running around at Wal Mart all the time!

Paula said...

Okay - I've got Joy and Les signed up to paint! You, two will love each other - You both love to sing!

Valerie - Girl, I miss seeing you on a regular basis - Praising the Lord for our blogs!

Paula said...

Angie-I'm signing you up even if you don't pick up a brush! I enjoyed our house hunting and miss seeing you too!

Valerie said...

Well...I need to paint my house too...should I post a help needed ad on my blog? Seems to be working well for you! My walls aren't white, they're fingerprinted all over! :) And we even have more "fingerprints" on the way!
(I miss you too...but YOU know where I live! I don't know where you live...scary country roads where deer jump on your car)

Here is the score from the Carlson kids (drum roll please...)
"Wow, cool bruises, she's the man!
10"
"Oooh yuck, ouch. Poor Paula, she gets a 10+"
"Dude...that's bad, big time 10"
"Oh man, that had to hurt. 10 for sure"

There you have it!! I saw it in person and it is bad!!

Sign me up to paint! I love painting! My opinion is that God gave us to many colors to use white on the walls!!

Is the deer in your freezer??

Paula said...

I HAVE NEVER BEEN A 10 IN MY WHOLE LIFE!!! Oh wait . . . I scored a 10! Hehe! No, the deer isn't in the freezer - I wish I would have waited around for a Sheriff but I headed home and said forget it!

Okay! I am sooooo excited because I hate painting!

Les - You are going to get to meet some really GREAT gals! On top of the fact that they are going to get to meet a really GREAT you!!

Les is a true kindred spirit!
