The Lord protects children and stupid people.
Lately, that includes me.
Does this look as janky as I think it does?
In the past two days, I have shattered my favorite wine glass, spilled hemp seed all over the floor, broken the arm off of a chair, dyed my hair a pretty tragic color, and SLAMMED my (surgery) knee against the shower door. I still don’t know how I did that. I DO know that it hurt so bad that I literally hit the floor and cried. For an hour or so I seriously thought I’d broken my kneecap.
Check out this bump at the top of my knee cap:
Does this mean I have a horny knee? HAHAHA!
That’s all I have today. Be sure to link up to Jenn’s WIAW baby at the bottom!
Breakfast:
Vegas is out of town, so there was no one to bring me coffee. Instead, I made my Vanilla Matcha Latte. Then I had my morning cocktail and started breakfast.

Lunch:
I had leftover steak on a salad while icing my knee. I didn’t take a picture… because self-pity.
Dinner:
I’d made cauliflower crusts (they’re dairy-free!) to keep on hand for quick meals. This is one of the oldest recipes on my blog, and one of my all-time favorites. I love to make a bunch and freeze them for a quick “frozen pizza” night. Just take it out and throw it under the broiler until it is thawed, add the toppings, and put it back under the broiler until it’s hot.
This pizza was southwestern-ish thanks to my selection of leftovers. It had black-eyes peas, grilled bell peppers and onions, spinach, and tempeh. Plus a healthy drizzle of sriracha.
There was an unpictured Tiramisu Bread Pudding topped with Halo Top ice cream for dessert. Pancakes & Waffles flavor = SO GOOD.

Hopefully, I won’t break anything tomorrow.
Are you a bit of a klutz?
Have you ever made your own pizza crust? Cauliflower or otherwise.
Mary says
So proud of you for being brave and getting your act surgery and I’ve been watching your progress. Oh no, you broke your favorite wine glass? Now that really sucks. I can’t wait to see your hair, I’m sure it’s not tragic, I bet you it’s awesome. Oh, That bump on your knee is bad, hope it’s all better now. Mmmmm give me some of that avocado toast. Ok Ok, I’ll have a piece of cauliflower crust pizza too. lol
Laura says
At least I dyed it with a washout thing. It’s supposed to be gone after 8 washes… 3 to go…
Patrick@looneyforfood.com says
I can not even imagine how much that must of hurt your knee! Thats one hell of a bump. Your cauliflower crust pizza looks amazing on the bright side!
Laura says
It was pretty bad – and I have a high pain tolerance!
Lee says
I want to see the tragic hair color.
Laura says
Hellllll no! I’m really glad it didn’t show up in the birthday pics on FB.
Allie says
OMG be careful woman!!! You need one of those life saving necklaces for when Vegas is out of town! And, yes, please post a pic of the tragic hair color :-)))
Laura says
Life Alert??? HAHAHAHA!
And HELL no. 🙂
Patricia @Sweet and Strong says
OH I’m so sorry about your knee! Hope it heels up! And I haven’t seen the pancakes and waffles Halo, that flavor sounds amazing!
Laura says
If you like pancakes, you HAVE To try it!
Deborah Brooks says
I have some weeks where I feel like I keep bumping into things too or cutting myself in the kitchen. Hope the knee is ok!
Laura says
I’ve been too distracted! Must… focus…
Cora says
Ah shit that would have HURT!!!! Let’s get you some of those blow up water wings… for all your limbs and extremities. When’s Vegas back? I think you need that half cup in the morning again.
Laura says
Hahaha! My softball team actually said they were going to wrap me in bubble wrap.
lindsay Cotter says
Maybe vegas is your lucky no spill/bump charm. Bro, be careful. I need you alive. 😉
Laura says
Seriously. I need a chaperone.
Emily Swanson says
I’m such a klutz. I’ve often see than God keeps my too proud heart humbled by being a klutz. I have sooo many bruises everywhere, but I’m thankful to have never broken anything yet.
Laura says
Me too! I have a bruise on my shoulder right now… NO idea where it came from.
Kate says
If everything is going wrong, it just means things are going to start heading up any minute.
Laura says
Here’s hoping…
Nicole @ Laughing My Abs Off says
Wishing you a speedy recovery; that shower experience sounds AWFUL! 🙁 That pizza, on the other hand, looks amazing!
Laura says
Thanks! It’s not just an ugly bruise. I’m MUCH more careful getting out of the shower now!
Jess @ Jessica Cording Nutrition says
Hope your knee starts feeling better soon. I’ve been having a klutzy week too. You can tell you’re having a rough one when a highlight is pressing pus through a tiny hole in your thumbnail.
Laura says
Ewwwwwww…. I hope it’s better this week!
Joann @ Woman in Real Life says
Goodness, sounds like a rough week! I hope things pick up and your knee feels better.
Laura says
Thank you!
Joyce @ The Hungry Caterpillar says
Oh my gosh! That’s a big ole bump! I’m glad you iced it good.
Why does it always have to be the previously injured member?
Laura says
Seriously though. Oy…
Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets says
I would eat your cauliflower pizza crust and that’s saying a lot, coming from me.
Now I understand why you’ve been having a week. Stay strong. Think cookies.
Laura says
I’d give you extra cheese.
Nicole @ Foodie Loves Fitness says
I just tried pancakes & waffles Halo Top for the first time yesterday – it’s definitely interesting! Not sure if I love it yet though. I also tried the dairy free Halo Tops for the first time – a few of them were a bit too coconutty for me, but I liked the PB one.
And you are definitely having a klutzy week!! I totally have weeks like that. Actually, currently I have a burn on one of my fingers from hitting it on the oven, a cut on my hand from trying to slice something quickly without a plate/cutting board, & my pinky finger is still a little swollen & has a mark from getting stung by a bee…. so I guess I’ve been a bit klutzy lately too haha
Laura says
I love waffles, so it was immediately a win. Vegas came in for a kiss after I’d been eating it and asked if I’d been eating syrup. LOL!
You might tie me to klutz! Be careful! I’m so sorry I bailed today… trying to fit too much in. I’ll text you later to see when we can catch up!
Megan @ Skinny Fitalicious says
Horny HAHA I’m dying laughing over here. Ugh, those kind of weeks we all have them. Careful with your bad ass self!
Laura says
I should have stayed in bed. LOL!
Jen @ Chase the Red Grape says
Wait, they have a pancake and waffle flavour of halo top? We have a handful of flavours here but nothing that exciting.
Hope your bump has gone down now!
Laura says
Yes. Yes, they do. They just came out with a tome of new flavors – and some dairy free that are actually pretty good!
