Okay, I just got back from the ladies room and while I was in there noticed the concealer had completely worn off my eye and I gotta tell ya, that shiner is coming is real nice like. I think I may have to take more pictures when I get home and make this recurring post of its progress.
However, think I may need a better story than "I got hit by a soccer ball". I am opening the floor to suggestions.
P.S. Please try and remember the times when I was cute. Thank you.
Updated as of 5:40 pm: as promised, new photos.
In honor of my black eye and bruised, puffy nose, I give you, for free, a joke as told by my great-uncle, Fr. Francis White aka Uncle Frankie:
What did one eye say to the other?
"Between you and me, something smells."
hee.
You can play the domestic abuse card. except that would be wrong.

That definitely deserves a "poor baby!" Jennifer is a very brave athlete, who plays well with others. (and is a delight to have in class...)

Yeah, you need to tell us when the first person takes you aside and tells you, "You should leave that bastard!"

hee. this weekend I'm seeing my Dad. I told Mike, if he really pisses me off this week, I may leave out the part where it was a soccer ball that did this to me. just a little evil.
these pics don't really do this thing justice.

My suggestions: Say something that would make you seem sophisitcated and refined like "I had an accident in my Saturday morning advanced ballet class".
Or something exotic, like "I got kicked doing a wild salsa move".
Or tough, like "broken bottle, bar fight, long story."

THe fight one sounds good. Or I was thinking something like "CIA training" which I also couldn't really get into, being that the CIA is super-secret.
