I was at a friends apartment after a long day of photography and driving. I was leaving to go home, about to say good bye, not looking down. There's one step from her dining room to living room, didn't see it, stepped into air and landed on one ankle, twisted the other. So embarrassing! After icing and Motrin I had to drive 30 mins home. We iced both ankles and I didn't sleep well. Today I am better, staying quiet and catching up on "Hell on Wheels", "Modern Family", "Celebrity Rehab"  and hoping each day is better. Thanks for asking.

I'm having a ball watching this thread.  My secret recipient has not mentioned receiving a gift yet but I'm sure they have since it went out over a week ago.  26 days to go!

I'm hoping my recipient got their gifts, too. I sent them a while ago.....

But then, maybe they sent a private PM!  :2thumbsup;

I am getting a little concerned; I sent my package on 9 Nov and have no idea if it has arrived.  That said, though, it DID have a long way to go, so hopefully it is just taking a slow route. ???

I received my gift yesterday - thank you for the beautiful bracelet and card!  I can't wait to go back to work to show off the bracelet - it will go so nicely with many of my outfits.   ;D

Mine is going out in today's mail - I know I'm late but it doesn't have very far to go!   :oops;

We don't celebrate Christmas on December 25th.  We are Orthodox Christian and follow the old calendar so for us Christmas is January 7th.  I figured my giver didn't want to wait around until then to find out if I liked my gift.    ;D
