Having a black eye is now marked off my bucket list




Do you have a Bucket List? I do, I haven't actually written things down but I have them in my head. My bucket list includes things like a trip to Australia, mastering snow skiing, stopping for a McDonalds ice cream cone at every McDonalds I pass while going from point A to point B, reading the Bible cover to cover, I do not recall having a black eye anywhere on my list! Well, I can add it and cross it off courtesy of Rogue.

Last Wednesday night I just couldn't sleep so Thursday morning after I got the girls off to school instead of going to Bible study I opted to go back to bed. Rogue of course had to be right there with me. He insisted on laying across Babes pillow with his face pressed against mine {remember the whole separation anxiety thing} he was so close to me that my face was smashed into his. Being a scrapbooker I had to take a picture. When I reached to set my phone back on the nightstand he thought I was getting up and sat up to make sure I wasn't leaving him. When I laid back down so did he but Rogue doesn't just lay down he flops...with force. I refer to him as my Beefcake, you know the kind, easy on the eyes but not exactly a conversationalist, big, brawny and well, stupid. I went on a date with a guy like that in high-school...once! Anyway, as he flopped his ginormous head down on the pillow next to me he missed the pillow and made direct contact with my left eye. It felt like a freaking Mac truck had just hit me!

I got up to look at my eye that felt like it needed its own zip code and knew immediately it wasn't going to end pretty! Being on blood thinners I knew it was going to bruise and that soon it would look like I hung the hand towels unevenly and let the pantry become unorganized.

This Thursday I will definitely be attending my Bible study!


My nearly 80 pound puppy believes he's a lapdog.


Within minutes it looked like this.


After realizing a nap wasn't going to happen I got ready for the day, this is with a ton of cover-up!



Three days later, the bruise has moved up to the corner of my eye and has turned beet red. Easter pictures are going to be oh so beautiful this year!


I've said it before and sadly I know I'll say it again, it's a good thing I love him!

Aren't blood thinners wonderful? Michael and Kyle think it is fun to lightly (playfully) smack me,then shout, "BRUISE!"

Hope the eye gets better soon, it definitely looks like it hurt alot
