I was really looking forward to this weekend for a couple of different reasons. First, I was excited about going to see Gaelic Storm on Saturday night. Unfortunately Saturday afternoon I tripped over a lawn chair & fell face first onto our concrete patio. Splat! I didn't pass out or anything, but I hit so hard that I layed there for about a minute or so just positive that when I got up I'd find a pool of blood. No blood, but I have one heck of a nasty shiner on my right eye and by eyelid puffed up blurring my vision just slightly. It's like Bell's Palsy all over again! My tumble happened about an hour before we were supposed to leave for the concert, but since I was still a little dazed, we decided to spend the night at home. It was nice enough at night to sit out on the patio (and the cursed chairs) under the stars for a while.
Sunday afternoon we did some yard work and then we went to see The Da Vinci Code." I just started the book, which is pretty good so far, and I wanted to see the movie before I finished so I could put faces on some of the characters. We both enjoyed the movie, but now I know why Vic & I go to so few movies ~ loud popcorn eaters, loud talkers & ringing cell phones! It'll be interesting to see if the book is better than the movie (since I've seen the movie first). I can already tell that the book explained things a little better than they did in the movie, but I guess I'll find out in another 200 pages or so.
We spent Monday finishing up yard work & cleaning up the house a bit for Jeannine's visit on Tuesday. Vic was off for the holiday and it was nice having her around during the day. It was really hot ~ over 90 degrees! We washed the Jeeps and gave all the flowers a drink of water and tried to keep Shannon cool. Hopefully we won't have as hot a Summer as we did last year. My face, by the way, looks worse than it did after the initial "splatting", but it doesn't really hurt. It's just difficult putting in/taking out my contact in that eye!

Oh my god! I'm glad you're ok.
Ice, ice baby. It will help lots with the swelling and bruising.
Do you need me to knit you an eye patch?
Bless Your Heart !!! I'm so sorry to see your bobo eye !!! Keep it covered in Ice like Slang said and it should be better in no time.
Wow, you'll have to do this more often! Look at all the responses you're getting! Glad you are OK, it looks like it hurts- I'll send you a DV pamphlet in the mail! We miss you and think of you often...tell Vic hello and make sure you send J9 home!
