What's the opposite of a love letter?

Dear Today:


I'm done with you. We're breaking up.


I'm leaving you for tomorrow.
You're not invited.


With not-so-much love,
Me.

Evolution of a Black Eye

This is what it looks like when your eye collides with the back of an 8-year-old's head.



Pretty isn't it?!?

Here's the whole process: 

Day 1
About 10 minutes after the big collision -- the swelling begins.





Later that evening -- Getting some color!




Day 2 -- The color spreads





Day 3 -- Full blown black eye -- just in time for the family photos





Day 4 -- Didn't think it could get darker, but it did!




Day 6 -- Starting to improve!


Day8 -- Still hanging on

Day 9 -- Getting better (also sorry for the awful hair!)


Day 12 -- Finally, just a shadow left: 



It was definitely an adventure, and still hurts a little, even 3 months later.

And I'll admit....it made me feel kinda cool. :)
