Yesterday, I was going to post about my fun getaway to Washington, D.C.. But Thursday afternoon, I suffered from the worst kind of deja vu. I fell down the stairs. Again. And broke a toe. Again. You might wonder how it is possible for one person to be so very, very clumsy. And I really have no answer. Except to say that clumsy people should not try to take the stairs at a run, no matter how spunky they are feeling. Especially if they are wearing socks. So I have a broken toe, my tailbone seems to be badly bruised (and is actually far more uncomfortable than the stupid toe), and yesterday evening, my ribcage started to ache a little too. And I'm trying really hard not to look at/think about the two broken toe nails. They aren't hurting right now, so they can just stay as they are with no meddling. Sigh. This is really getting tiresome. It's left me feeling nauseous, cranky, and it hurts to sit at anything close to an upright position.
Moving on to the fun part of the post... I need to have a giveaway to celebrate gaining 100 followers!!! I have thought a bit about it, and what I am going to stitch something for the winner, whoever they might be. I might throw something else in as well, but a stitched small is the offered prize. So, if you are interested, here are the rules:
1- you must be a follower (of course, this is a giveaway celebrating followers!);
2- comment on this post and tell me your favorite month of the year (this is related to what I'm thinking of stitching);
3- the contest will be closed on October 31, and I will announce the winner soon after.
Simple enough, right? I hope everyone is having a better weekend than I am, and I will try to update with D.C. stories and photos soonish.

Oh, you sound way too much like me. Hope you stop aching soon. Congratulations on reaching 100 followers! What a fun giveaway idea. My favorite month is April - lovely spring colors, warm breezes instead of freezing wind, my birthday... We won't mention spring allergies, haha.
Hope you feel better soon. My favorite month is May.

Oh no!!!! You poor thing! Have you gotten yourself checked out? Made sure your ribs and tailbone are ok? I've broken a toe before -- and a leg. Not fun at all. Hope you're feeling better really soon. :( And hey, I'm tripping all the time -- just did so today as a matter of fact.
As for your giveaway. Hmmm. My favorite month is tough. It definitely has to be a month in spring, cause I love spring. :D Maybe April? Or May? One of the two. I hope that's ok. lol! Thanks for the giveaway -- and congratulations on 100 followers!
Oh my. I'm sorry to hear about your fall. You really should go to the doctor and get checked out. You might have a serious injury.
On a happier note. Congrats on 100 followers. I would love to enter your giveaway. My favorite month is Sept.

I hope that you are feeling better. It sounds like you fell further and harder this time. Please be careful.
I am looking forward to hear about DC. So were the cupcakes worth the wait in line?

I heard about your fall and I was sorry to hear about it. You and your mom both. That's just crazy.
I don't think I could pick a favorite month...fall months? September, October or November.
Hi Robin, Poor you - that is dreadful, I hope that you get better soon.
Lovely giveaway so please count me in! I have three favourite months: October (my birthday month and Halloweeen), March (the start of Autumn in Australia, Autumn is my favourite season) and December (because I love Christmas).
