Oops, I did it again.

And not in a sexy Britney 90′s sort of way.

I was just thinking to myself:

“Self, you don’t have enough going on right now. You are so pleasant to everyone who crosses your path every day because you definitely do not have too much on your plate. You are practically floating through the world like a Disney princess in an animated forrest. That is not a character building way to live, why not throw in some obstacles to make it interesting.”

SO.

After a day that included hatetweets to Comcast, tears, multiple trips to the car dealership service center…

I was running out to do ONE last errand…

And if you have a foot fetish look away now, there is nothing good going on below this line.

You have been warned.

…And rocked my pinkie toe on the door.

That lil piggie be broke.

For those of you who are new around here, this blog really took off a few years ago when after a freak dancing incident I broke my foot and had to take a sabbatical from my work as an errand runner to a designer. It was the foot bone attached to that very mangled toe. So I am trying to see the potential in this situation. Because last time being laid up proved very fortuitous.

Like…It’s Boot Season! YukYukYuk.

 Maybe this is my body’s way of telling me to chill.the.eff.out. Not maybe, if there is a lesson to be learned it is DEFINITELY that.

So today was supposed to be a big business update post, but instead I am going to chill out, elevate my foot, and enjoy the crazy ride narcotic painkillers take you on for an evening whole day.

    Girl, I’m no stranger to the boot. In August 2010, I broke my right foot while WALKING TO THE BATHROOM. I’m not lying. That was trip #1 to Boot City. Then, this August, I broke that same foot again when I tripped and fell. Trip #2 to Boot City! I feel your foot pain. We can have an elevation/icing/pain killer party and discuss our woes. Feel better!

    Ouch! Looks and sounds uber painful. Hope you feel better and are back on your feet (sans boot) soon!!

    p.s. Love your toe polish!

    Feel better, bailey! Take it easy for a couple of days… I know easier said than done. As for the boot… A less than perfect fall accessory that will be gone before the pennant race! Until then, slow down and enjoy your family!

    This is so the story of my life! Sadly, sometimes the message to slow down can be really painful. Sorry about your toe!

    Oh, poor thing! I was in a boot my sophomore Fall, it was terrible! Stay off it and heal up!

    I’m currently rocking the boot as well! (broken 5th metatarsal) AND I also have a 1itle one running around (10 months) so I can totally sympathize! Can’t wait for Biscuit’s line of orthopedic air-cast slip covers ’cause this thing is uhhhh-gly

    A couple years ago I had the Boot Joy with a stress [literally!] fracture in my 2nd metatarsal 2 WEEKS before running the marathon I had been training 6 months for. Lesson: slow down when life gives you the message to, or else it will make damn sure you are forced to! Rest, eat well, and heal quickly!

    Your hair is rocking.

    Ooh, the dreaded boot! I wore one last fall, and it inspired me to be Frankenstein for a low-key family Halloween party. It was devastatingly attractive (kidding).
