Time for an impromptu caption contest. It was an exciting weekend at Pam’s houseā¦
A broken arm and wrist — in like five places, the word “shattered” was used.
Ok, possibly too exciting of a weekend for Pam’s taste, but she is in good spirits and has decided that a caption contest will help aid her speedy recovery — laughter is the best medicine, right?
Here’s some material to work with:
- The injury was tiki decorating related. There was NO RUM involved, but Pam now is giving her barkcloth samples the evil eye. Other fun props in this adventure: Three colorful spaghetti globe lights — oh so sparkly underfoot as you fly past them overhead!
- The ER at Fairview Hospital in Great Barrington, Mass. was fantastic. They keep their blankies in a blanket warmer. Pam says the doctor was particularly cute, but admits, that could be the Percocet talking.
- Pam is right handed and says, “Good luck surviving this, Kate, as you will have to do EVERYTHING for the blog for the next 6-8 weeks until the cast comes off. In the meantime, I will be taking this time to become a better person, starting with reviewing my own safety advice.””
Full story to come on Wednesday. Until then, let’s come up with some funny captions for this pathetic photo of Pam to help cheer her up. Winner gets a $25 gift card.
Ready, GO!

“Never mind the arm, save the Tiki’s!!”
Seriously Pam, I hope you’re on the mend soon. I’ve had some near mishaps on ladders and will never forget the terrible feeling of that brief moment of being “airborne”. Fortunately Retro Renovators are generally a pretty tough lot.
Tear-down Townie says
“I should have never accepted that Tiki Idol from Greg Brady!”
I hope you mend quickly.
Sara of WA says
That’s mine too! š
Geronimom says
HATE that this happened to such a nice person ( been there myself in the past, and it’s no fun) . Truly hope it feels better soon – but totally LOL at this caption!
Michele says
Tiki Tumble!
Andi says
Pam, I’ve been laughing at all your clever readers but am “clevered out” myselfāI got nuthin’ as they say.
But I do want to join the chorus of get well wishes. Oh my, no typingāor much of anythingāfor weeks! I’m thinking, curling iron, nope; makeup, nope; cooking, nope….and the list goes on.
Then again….reading, yep; getting waited on; yep, getting someone to cook for you; yep….Hope it’s a record-breaking speedy recovery for you!
Lauryn says
In the same place, Andi. These are some great captions and I’m not even going to try and top them. But I do want to wish you a speedy recovery, Pam, and send some good posting juju to Kate!! Take care of yourselves, ladies!
Chris says
What??? Were out of Mai Tai’s??????
Jay says
“What do you mean, No avocado Green or Harvest Gold bandaging, just this boring Beige?”
Seriously, hope you are on the mend soon. For you to sustain such damage, you must have fallen from a ladder; sounds scary. I admire your courage in posting your picture because you clearly look to be in distress. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Oh decorating gods, wherefor art thou?
Dan Hermann says
I broke my arm in 5 places. After I broke it in the first place, why I went to those other 4 places, I’ll never know. (Ba dump . . . BUMP.)
Michael says
Ha ha!!!
Roundhouse Sarah says
My mom broke her wrist in a decorating fail too. She bought a really low profile Asian coffee table… She was sooo excited about it. She stored it in a spare bedroom waiting for the right place to put it. Well she was running through the house in the dark for something and tripped over the table having forgotten she had put it there.
Needless to say, the table never made it to the living room… It was sold not long after ; )
Get well soon Pam!! Xoxo

Word to the wise fellow retrorenovators. Barkcloth’s bite is worse than its bark.
