What happened?!?! (you may ask...)
Well let me tell you.
On Sunday my Xmas lights were going up. I was We were all very excited! We hadn’t put up lights in over 3 years! And I rock Xmas. So it was especially hard for me.
Tony I happily pulled out the three massive Xmas Decoration boxes from the attic and sorted through it all. I ecstatically went and added to the collection and got it ready for Sunday.
On Sunday Becca and Mat came over to help put it all up. Becca first helped with putting up the internal decorations. The signs and pictures and hanging things. When we were done it looked like Santa had thrown up all over the living room. It was a picture of Xmassy goodness!
And then Mat came over to do the lights, and he and Tony were like machines! They put up heaps of lights on the balcony upstairs, but our step ladder almost ended the happiness of the day.
Mat was standing on the ladder when it decided that enough was enough and suddenly collapsed straight down! In a split moment decision, and knowing I was only wearing socks, I heroically stuck my foot out, imagining the Adamantium running through my veins would be enough to stop the ladder’s descent, but alas no! The ladder continued its journey into oblivion, and with it my beloved brother-in-law, who had the presence of mind to ride the horrible beast to the floor.
And so endeth the tale happily, with Mat still alive and kicking, and coming over next weekend to put the tree up.
And although this tale could have ended so tragically, it did not. Because I am a HERO. A HERO with a bruised foot.
A HERO I say!
Thank you.

I'd just like to add that my bottom escaped unbruised. Just in case anybody was .. you know .. concerned or anything.
