paula did great...me, not so much

For the record, Paula Deen did awesome at the Um game. She talked 30 seconds about argyle, without saying Um, Uh, or having any long pauses.

And then I wiped out at the grocery store.

And it sooooo wasn't pretty. It happened after I left work, and not one to shy away from clumsiness, I did my faceplant right in front of the customer service desk at Marsh. Because what's a fall without an audience, right? Stupid wet floors. I nearly took out an 80-year-old woman who had carefully applied fire-red lipstick before arriving, and bless her heart, she helped me up. I was soon met by a store manager asking me to fill out a report, but I declined, despite the purple bruise that I was already sporting on my wrist.

I can't imagine filling out a report, since the last thing I want is to have the entire incident documented for all to see. What exactly would it say?

'Clumsy blonde wipes out trying to get a cart.'

Instead, I pulled myself up, swallowed my pride, and called my husband, who wasn't surprised and enjoyed some laughter at my expense.

Eventful day, without question.
