Memories...

Yes, hate that yellow date thing, but can't seem to get rid of it. See that red dot on my right calf? You know what that's from? I returned from Denver one late evening. Mommy was standing at the door with the yellow light bulb on waiting for me to hug her. I ran across the yard only to find my dad had left an engine in my path. Yes. An entire engine. I remember screaming "OH MY GOD!!!" I had pain and the wound from hell. My doctor says it's an ingrown hair. Will need surgery! Ahhhhhhhhh, screw it. Sometimes when I shave I screw up and knick it. Which only makes it worse. Oh, and bigger! Family memories. Cherished.

Only you or I could trip over an engine in the yard, Suze. I've done it too, only mine was a transmission. OUCH. I have a permanent dent in my shin from it. I used expletives. Many of them.

Glad you got through yesterday ok, my love.

Ha! Why was there an engine in the yard? Engines belong in the garage.

I am also glad you got through yesterday.

I have a scar on one of my legs, but it's bigger than yours. I had a bike wreck. Collided with my nephew and a bolt stuck into my leg. When I stood up my leg had the entire front wheel to the bike attached to it. My mom never took me to the Dr. Instead she cleaned it with "Monkey Blood" (i think that stuff is called methyolade or something). I screamed bloody murder because that stuff burned like fire searing the skin off your bones. She slapped a bandage on it and told me, "You'll live, it's a long way from your heart." But then she did the most agonizing thing you could ever do to a child. She made me sit still for hours!!!!!!!!! AH memories.

Karen...Ha! An engine is bigger that an transmission!! Trust me!!! Bent over and in total pain I remember thinking, "You gotta be f****** kidding me!" I wanted to kill my dad, but I love him!!! My red spot is a constant reminder that Dad really f***** up! He still laughs. I don't.

Suzanne said...

Hi baby. I love you so!!! ;)

Suzanne said...

Mike, because my dad is careless. He just parks his shit wherever he can. In the dark the yard looks normal. Unfortunately it isn't! Engines do belong in the garage. Thank God he has a huge one now, but he's single. Perfect timing after wounding his daughter!! What? He kicked my ass! A forever scar. Something about that just makes me laugh!

Suzanne said...

Cece...wow...sounds like my life. Why go to the doctor or hospital when a little spit and glue will fix it? You know the drill! I love you!!!

Suzanne said...

Kylie...show off. You think 22 stitches matter? No...they don't. Okay, they do! Okay, they do. *Suze rolls eyes in head...* They matter!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny story your awesomeness. Definitely think you need to ignore the Dr. and keep it. I got a lot of scars that remind of some good times. Take care my friend, and have a lovely weekend.

Suzanne said...

I love you Matt. You sound like my nephew Alan. When he saw the huge scare on my face from falling into the wall when I broke my ankle, he told me to "Embrace it!" Own it!!! I thought...YOU NUTS!!! I was so in agony about it. But his way is a different way to look at an event. A really positive way. He's right. I have a scar and it isn't going away. It'll never go away. It's there to remind me I have really wacky cats and this is the life I chose. And so it goes. Oh, and that little dinky thing on my leg? It'll stay! It looks so tiny in that photo! What the hell am I worried about! I love you so. You're awesome too. Have a great weekend. XOXOXOXO

I posted on my real blog too Suze, you know the Creative works of my mind one? You haven't been there yet. SO got read it. It's funny.

Hi suze,
speaking of falling over i fell of the escalator at our shopping centre on friday. I misjudged the last step to getting off and went down flat out. A man who saw me fall helped me up and asked if i was alright.I said i'm fine even though my knees and hands were hurting. Got on the bus to discover the plastic bag of shopping had split. A lady offered me two of her spare plastic bags. I think they saw me fall when they were already on the bus.
