A lot of people post their new year's resolutions all in one fell swoop - not us. We are going to take it a day at a time for the entire month. Sweet. That means a lot of Carlklef Chronicles clogging your google reader.For starters:
I resolve to get some new winter boots. I am a nice person and gave my too small winter boots to Shana (she better be wearing them!) and so now I am forced using some less than stellar winter boots. Uggs are not winter boots - uggs are fashionable and warm - but they have zero traction. (Especially if you are wearing imitation uggs that my mom gave me for Christmas).
As a result . . . this afternoon walking back from class - I totally biffed it. Right while I was talking (articulately) to some students. Totally. I mean, of course it was graceful, but I still fell. And this is what my knee now looks like. Ouch.
*UPDATE* No, this is not my leg - just one I quickly found on the internet - I apologize for the confusion - I thought it would be apparent that this wasn't my knee (because I didn't wear shorts to work - although I would have liked to). I am fine. If I bruise badly, however, I'll make sure to document the "incident." After all, I need it so I can sue.

NO WAY - omigosh, Kris Tina that looks terrible! It looks like you got beat with a baseball bat! I'm sorry ... maybe try rubber boots? I don't have real winter boots (not since I was in 3rd grade), but I wear warm fuzzy socks and my rubber boots and I am fine - they have enough traction to keep me standing :-)
OOOOOUUUUUUUCCCCCHHHHH!!! Holy Moly that looks painful. I guess I will not be telling you about my painful hangnail. I hope you start feeling better and heal quickly.
Oh. My. Goodness. That has got to be the most treacherous graceful fall in history. Take it easy on that knee. Baby steps, baby steps.
Ow! I totally remember trying to navigate BYU Campus during the winter. There were always those times when you just majorly ended up landing on your butt, usually in front of some cute guy. I hope your knee feels better soon!
Whoa! With that detailed description I feel like I was righ tthere watching it happen....and I'm willing to testify to such in your personal injury trial.
You've been through quite the ordeal to say the least. Those are some serious bruises, but unless you fell under a garbage truck's tire I'm not sure I understand the multiple bruise lines embedded in your leg. I think it's time you told us how you REALLY got those bruises. We all know Ross has a temper, but I certainly didn't think he was capable of doing this. What did do that set him into a fury of rage?
First that is quite the disturbing picture. And now I am starting to feel guilty that I have the boots. (which I have worn quite a few times this winter)
Really this could all be my fault. I am sure the fall was graceful, and I wished that it hadn't happened, or at least that I could have been there to see it!
When we were young my dad would only buy Sorels. Pick up a pair today. They are the most hideous boots on the planet, but you'll stay warm, dry, and fully tracted to the pavement!
Sorry about the fall!
It's been snowing so much that tomorrow we will be wearing our snowshoes. I had a nice fall yesterday as well. In front of a woman who told me (after I had fallen) that I should be careful because it is slick. I pretty much knew by then.
Way to make me dry heave with that disgusting picture. I think I am going to go to the sports mall tonight and think of you the whole time.
Once again, I learn about you second hand on this blog. I'm so sorry! I'm not sure I can handle another bruise photo though (I'm still reeling from the bruised massage photo.) I'll get Scott to screen the blog for me. This is a BYU classic story. I have one like it. I wonder if we fell on the same campus spot?
Kitty, I don't see any photographic evidence of Ross' alleged mishap. I think he made his fall story up just because he was jealous of all the sympathy you were getting.
I bet you are really sore today. If you have trouble walking maybe you should rent a Rascal (or Jazzy) to get around campus.
Toddcat - there is so much snow on the ground that renting a jazzy has the potential to get me trapped in the snow (just like I saw with that lady in the wheelchair trapped yesterday). Instead - I'll just stay indoors - for the rest of my life.
You mean the lady in the stuck wheelchair whom you refused to help get unstuck? Is that the one you are refering to?
