You must be a faithful reader - therefore I give you a funny story.

So, I think I should enlighten you all with a short story. Mainly because you are actually still checking my blog even though my last post was Oct. 28 - that is pathetic on my part. I want to start writing on this again - so spread the word! Extra, Extra, Read all about it! Leigh Anne is going to start blogging again! Woooo! But, for now, the short story. Please, sit back and enjoy.

I was just running up the stairs with my dear friend Olivia. I wish I didn’t have to say this – but we were running to get our hands on some freshly homemade cookies on the 7th deck. Shameless – yes we are.

Whatever the reason may have been – we were hauling it up the stairs. Taking it two steps at a time. Well, I was about to cross the threshold to the 7th deck, when the ship decided to dip, rock, shift, or any other description you may like to use here. Regardless, my body that was propelling forward - followed the new pull of gravity – and my left knee slammed into the banister-like wooden half-pole at the top of the stairs. BAM!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Okay, maybe not that dramatic, but the impact of the hit did cause my skin to break and bleed! Did someone say “expect a bruise in the morning?”

Following advice that I have never liked, but know is what you just gotta do – I held ice on the swelling lump on my knee. And, Dad – I didn’t cry. I’m a tough girl now that I’ve been around the world ;)

Love you all and miss you more that you know (especially now that I’m injured… hahahahaha)
