A Fine Shiner

I got a Valentine's shiner.  Seriously.

From my front wheel popping off my bicycle in the rain.  Oddly enough, I'm one of 5 gals (one of which is my own mom) who have had black eyes thus far in 2011.  Snowy falls, fridge doors, narcolepsy on linoleum...not a single cat fight among us. 

Every morning I wake up curious to see what's happened while I slept.  It morphs each day. Today the hues make me think of a meteor shower or some other wildly-hued planetary landscape far in space.  It also makes me think of this toy I had growing up that I thought was my own magical little universe - those wonderful little squares of plexiglass backed with white vinyl you can press on and move around some kind of multi-colored goo. 

I need one immediately. 

I may be about to embark on a mad ebay hour.



























Our bodies are cool when they heal.
