The Heartbreaking Weekend of a Staggering Klutz
Friday after working out, I slipped in the shower, bruising my back.
Saturday, I:
- Knocked loose (and shattered) a tulip-shaped bulb from an expensive lamp given to me by my mother (the only piece of furniture I had that wasn't purchased from a store that ends in "-mart" or "arget" or "kea")
- Broke the glass of a 4x6 frame (inexpensive, luckily)
- Dropped (and popped) the light that goes into my aquarium hood (yes, I have a fish — I never denied my geekdom)
The "best" part being, this weekend was intended to do chores. But all I really accomplished was making more work for myself.
All a long way of saying: if you really loved me, you'd send flowers.Or at least super glue.

I empathize. I once gave myself a scar and limp simply mailing a letter.
My klutziness tends to only hurt me though, so it's bandaids rather than super glue that I need in my care packages!
I am sending Gorilla glue, I have to buy it by the case. I drop dishes and glasses in the porcelain sink on a daily basis.
Let me guess this all happened between the hours of 8:30pm and 10:30pm?
Stop doing chores immediately! In self defense!
Don't deny your geekiness, embrace it!
Which do you prefer, glue or flowers? And where would you want them shipped?

I agree with Lee nothing a little maid service wouldn't cure.
I managed to break my toe answering the door last week - no I can't figure out how that's possible either.
I totally expected this to be a drinking story.
when I was pregnant I did stuff like that all the time.
What is Pamela trying to say?
Michele - I hear super glue can come in handy for healing cuts... so maybe that's really all I need.
Stacy - I have a container here next to me. My projects for this weekend include a load of repairs.
Go figure.
XOXO - Ha ha. Very funny.
[Yes.]
Lee - Great advice -- I just may have to do that.
BPP - And embrace it I do.
(sigh)
Let's see... super glue or flowers. Hmmm... depends on the situation, I guess.
Glenn - Ouch! Those hurt. Hope it's feeling better...
Michael - Sorry to disappoint.
Pamela - Just for the record: I am NOT pregnant.
XOXO - See above.
