50 Things that are worse than breaking your ankle:

If you're new to this blog (and I know about 300 of you per day are) due to the email exchange that occurred a few days ago, I apologize but things around here are generally pretty boring, and these days even more so as I am confined to a bed with a broken ankle.

Hopefully Diana Pigwell will be back to tell us more about Britney Spears (Diana? Are you out there?)...

But either way, thanks for stopping by!



Ahem.

So, as I was saying.

50 Things that are worse than breaking your ankle in freak chest-bumping accident:

  2. Number 45 caused me great joy because I never ever would have conceived of such a situation and yet it is both awful and hilarious.
