Okay, it's time to give my fellow myLoter's a laugh. I just took the dogs out for their final time to potty before bed...I also needed to get a couple of logs for the fire for over night. I decided I didn't really need to grab the flash light...wrong!! I got to the lower yard where the wood is stacked and I thought to myself "I'm going to run into the long board that is at the top of the stack waiting to get cut up into firewood. So, I edged further away from the board (Yeah, right!!) bent down to pick up a couple of pieces of wood, and whack!
I got myself right in my right eye. Fortunately I was wearing my glasses, but I am growing a black eye from my stupidity!!!
I have never been known for being particularly graceful. What do you expect from someone who can slam their nose in a cupboard door? I am getting a big laugh out of my accident, and I hope everyone else will get a huge chuckle out of it.

At least you had your glasses on. That would have stung the eye if that branch on gotten there.

OUCH!! That's got to hurt! Yes, I'm snickering with you hon because that's the sort of thing I do all the time. I'm one of those people that can trip over air. LOL! Here's a link to one of my discussions to show you how clutzy I can really be. You'll be laughing your butt off at me too!

I couldn't find the other discussion I had posted, but basically I proved why you shouldn't push the yard waste dumpster around with the lid open (there's a warning on the lid about that too). I stepped on the lid, went down on my knees, the rest of the dumpster smacked into my skull right above my right temple, it hit my glasses which in turn gave me a bruise down the side of my face, and I ended up with a concussion and a black eye. And it all happened in the front yard right out in plain sight. It's one of those situations where you jump up REALLY fast to make sure no one saw you make a complete idiot out of yourself, and then high tail it into the house, cussing all the way, and praying you can get to the ice pack before you fall over. And do you know what hubby asked? "Did you hurt the dumpster?" I won't repeat what I said to him because it's not appropriate for Mylot. ROFL!!
I hope you feel better soon hon. And next time....please take the flashlight with you.

ROFL!!! That sounds like when my ex got drunk and totaled my 1970 Camaro. It was my dream car, and that idiot put it down a 60 ft embankment on its' side. The only thing that kept it from going to the bottom of the ravine is the tree that the nose of the car caught on. He had to scramble up the hillside through not only blackberry vines but poison oak as well. He had poison oak EVERYWHERE!! Talk about sweet revenge. LOL! Anyway, when he called me to tell me that he'd wrecked the car my first question was "How's my car?" He kept telling me he was ok, and I would say "I don't care....how's my car?" Such love.
As for the competition, I think we have to catch up to our dear Gabs (sorry Gabs if you're reading this...I couldn't resist adding you to the mix. Teeheeheehee!). I still think we should all start a "Not So Graceful" club. LOL

Ouch! I was at my car a week ago today and I hear a noise behind me. I turned to see what it was and found some people coming up the street from a mardi gras parade. So I turn back to the car and BAM! I hit my head just above the bridge of my nose almost between my eybrows on the edge of the door frame!
I barley turned but it felt like I had run into it full force. I was in pain for days!

I remember in middle school, after dropping one of the metal chairs on the bridge of my nose, my eyes were black for about two weeks! I really looked like a raccoon.... I keep finding bruises and scrapes that I have no idea how I managed to get them. It's kind of embarrassing when the doctor notices them and asks when I did that and I can only say I don't know! The oddest is when I slammed my head in the car door. My ear was swollen for weeks. Yep, I'm not the most coordinated person on the face of the earth. Fortunately I am not in a profession where I have to be graceful because it ain't gonna happen!
