Stupid moves

[DebW]

The dog stories remind me of when my dog (now deceased) was a puppy. We were at a playground with the dog on one of those retracting leashes. My dh and kids decided to play soccer while I held on to the dog. Unfortunately, someone kicked the ball towards the dog and he took off after it. Since I didn't have the presence of mind to push the lock button on the leash immediately, and the line was reeling out fast, I decided that my best course of action was to start running and hope that my speed matched the dog's by the time he got to the end of the leash. I though I was running pretty fast, but the dog was running faster, and when he hit the end of the leash, I went flying through the air. Not sure how far I flew, but I landed hard on my ribs. It hurt to breath deeply for about 3 weeks, but I didn't bother with an x-ray after the doctor told me they don't do anything for broken ribs anyway.

uh - this stuff is so common for me my Indian name ought to be "Mishap Girl."

My lastest - set my clear-lense cycling glasses on a rock when I took a little rest - and left them there, riding home naked-faced. Figure out what happened, and on the next ride - found 'em! Yay! It was a sunny day, so I had shades on. Put the clear ones in my jersey back pocket. Come home. Sit in kitchen enjoying a glass of chocolate soymilk. Lean back with a satisfied sigh.

CRUNCH!

But happily, these were just cheapo glasses, not really good cycling glasses. Mishap Girl may not purchase sunglasses that cost more that $15!

It hurts to hear about your accident. Hope you're face is feeling better by now.


Here's mine:

I was cutting weeds up hill around the barn with a large gasonline powered whip when I realized I hadn't seen my DH for a while. He had gone down the hill to the house to check out what he thought was sewer gas smell in the basement. I started thinking - sewer gas - methane, OMG! So running all the way down the hill with the whip, I finally realized that wasn't safe, so I got to the back yard, unhooked the harness, set the whip down, and tripped over it. That was two months ago and my knee still hurts!
