My boss warned me against riding my bike to work. He said that (is it Murphy’s Law?) since I’m getting married soon, I will inevitably get in a crash and have a big ol’ scar for the wedding day.
“I should just stay my bed and hibernate until then,” I thought.
Fast forward to this morning. Jesse the cat comes to say good morning and lays on my chest. Unfortunately, right then Blanche decided to “nudge” me awake by pummeling me with her front paws. Cats tend to scamper when dogs come at them, and somehow in the commotion Jesse’s claws landed on my face.
Please ignore the fact that I have pores.
Yep, we’re looking at a nice big lipper and a couple of cheekers.
Lovely. Think it will heal in a week?

Only if Stan kisses it better.

Oh no, that stinks! I’d go with lots of Neosporin applications. And then there is always makeup.

Don’t touch it! Keep it moisturized and you’ll be fine. I’ve got this!!

^^ My stylist ^^

Ditto the neosporin. It’ll heal faster!

just don’t stress about it or you’ll break out too!!

Is your first dance at the reception going to be Cat Scratch Fever?
June 11, 2011 at 6:53 am
Yes, I agree, Neosporin, and you should not complain. If I took a pic that close up of my face, you would see a mustache, not a lovely naked upper lip like yours. Rejoice, mustaches suck.

As someone with dark brown hair, I may or may not second this. But I refuse to take a close up picture of my face to confirm/deny it.

I third the Neo. It’ll be gone in four days, I bet. It’ll be okay!

“Swing Sweet Pussycat” by the Atomic Fireballs is my vote for the first dance.
June 11, 2011 at 10:29 pm
Lauren and Michael- we just may sneak a cat-themed song into the evening. I can’t promise it will be the first dance though.

I vote for Neosporin, having Stan kiss it better, and sneaking a cat-themed song in!
June 14, 2011 at 7:22 am
Oh – it will totally heal. And maybe you will laugh about it some day? Also, will you let the cat live?
June 14, 2011 at 8:08 pm
Jeez, cats suck when they hurt you. Update pic, please!!!! I hope it looks better now!

What a bummer! This just goes to show that you could have biked. (Aren’t I helpful?) Neosporin should kick it by next week.
