My not so little friend, Mr. Boot!
Many of you have followed my brief love affair with my friend, Mr. Boot. I even shared with you how the gym betrayed me when I developed workout injuries, in the form of Achilles Tendonitis. Now I want you to say hello to my little friend Senorita Cast! She is dazzling, she is a royal hue, and she’s coming to a foot near you. Ok, not near you foot but mine. She needed a dramatic entrance.
Well, here she is. Are you ready? Tada!
QUEEN SPARKLES? PURPLE PEOPLE EATER?
As most of you have probably guessed I didn’t get the news I was hoping for today. Mr. Boot will be so disappointed. My doctor put me in a cast for 4-6 weeks! Friends have already given me the lovely nickname of “Boot.” (Thanks, Dave) I can’t wait to see what they come up with next. I hope they get creative. Purple People Eater, the Purplenator, Queen Sparkles.
If I could go back in time, I would really kick myself in the butt for not stretching. Who knew it was so important? Obviously I would have to go back in time because I am not kicking much of anything right now. (Except for kicking back and sitting my fat butt on a couch)
THANK GOODNESS FOR WAHM AND HOMESCHOOL
On the positive side, I am blessed to work from home and homeschool my children so my husband doesn’t have to take off from work because I can’t drive. I am also TRULY blessed with some amazing friends that don’t mind carting me around to appointments and to run errands. You know, the kind that REFUSE to take gas money. (Hint: Stick it in their glove box, and they can’t say no!)
Being forced to slow down has really given me a LOT of time to reflect on life, kids, writing, and other things I have just been too frazzled to think about. Even though, I am not to sure how my relationship with Senorita Cast is going to go I am thankful that it has caused me to have to slow down enough to pay attention.
INJURED? CAN’T WORK OUT? I THINK NOT!
Oh, before I forget. I am going to be writing a fabulous post about how to exercise while injured! I have a fabulous friend down in Florida that is a personal trainer. Yep, she makes a hobby of making people cry and they PAY her for it! (Now, THAT is a job!) She’s going to work with me on a workout routine that people with injuries can do. Just because you are injured doesn’t mean you can get that rockin’ body! Really excited for that, so stay tuned!
So Crunchy peeps, what nickname would you give my cast? The reader with the best nickname will win a $25 Amazon.com gift card! Ready, set, go! Just leave a comment on the BLOG post!

For some reason your cast reminds me of Prince. So I say call it Prince.
That is hilarious! I can actually tell why you would think that lol!
I would name it Figment! You can hope it’s just a figment of your imagination and if you remember him from the original disney attraction then you remember that he’s a ‘royal purple pigment’. Feel better soon!
My son JUST went to Disney world, so he would LOVE this idea!
YOUR “LITTLE BLACK CAST”
HOW ABOUT “TOM” (TOM HANKS-’CAST’ AWAY)
“BETTY” (BLACK BETTY)
NEVER REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT NAMING A CAST BUT I SURE CAN COME UP WITH SOME GOOD CAST JOKES – LIKE “LEAVE ME ALONE OR I’LL KICK YOUR CAST” LOL AND “WELL YOU CAN JUST KISS MY CAST!” lol
Jennifer, those are funny jokes. I am sure that I could use those some where. Good material!
I like Purple Nurple….
Perfectly Purplicious
Here’s to “Crunchy Reminder”!

Purple McGlitter!
Penelope the purplicious pain
Purple Haze

Purple Rain or Grimace
I prefer purple people eater, but your cast reminds me of a toy I had named as a child. In honor of that toy, Purple Flurp. All you need is a pink boa glued around the top edge!
I was thinking along the lines of the “Giant Purple Ankle Eater”, or maybe just …”oooooh, shiney!”
I think my kids watch too much My Little Pony, but the first thing that popped in my head was Twilight Sparkle. LOL
meteor shower
How about Eeyore (or however you spell it!)? I sure would be all down and depressed if I had to wear another cats on my foot! Went through over 2 years of various casts! Not fun. Good luck and God Bless and heal you quickly!!
I feel for you, I once spent the summer in a cast
No Fun and if I recall very itchy
So How bout having the kids draw stars and moons
with some grow in the dark markers
and call it Stardust Galaxy
I home schooled my kids for a while
Could use it as a science lesson and keep them busy
for awhile. Best of Luck to you and Hope you
have a speedy recovery.
I’m a Fan
Purple People Eater!
I am calling it Wysteria Mysteria!
