Trip, much?

What is the funniest thing that has happened to you?

Gosh, there are so many things which have happened to me that I laugh about now. I walk into many walls, trip on nothing, and overall wonder at times why I bother moving. Most days I am great and fine, but I have my moments.

The first one that comes to mind is perhaps when I tripped on my own feet in a Blockbuster. I was wearing these shoes that had a really thick sole to them. I was walking tall and proud all by myself. I was feeling pretty good about myself that day, in fact.

I went to return a movie and check a new one out. You'd think that a fairly easy thing to accomplish, but not for me. Oh no, no, no. One must always trip on her own feet. Though I didn't. Not entirely.

I walked into the Blockbuster store and didn't pay attention to where I was walking. I didn't notice that the rug was turned up enough at the corner to stick my boot in. I was paying attention to the area in front of me, not under me.

My foot caught and I stumbled a few steps.

Lady grace, I am ... er ... not so much.

The cashier glanced over at me and was quick to apologize, but I waved him off. I mean come on, I know they are to take blame, but I took it completely. They were my feet, attached to my body.

I worked so hard not to crack up the entire time in the store after that. I did smirk to myself quite a bit, however. Most entertaining was when I went to check out and we both acted like NOTHING had happened. I did smile to myself at that while I stood there, though. I later thought, why didn't you just say it?

"That was pretty funny though, right?"

(GBE 2:Blog On) First Love

By
Old post being reposted. GBE2: Blog On's Topic this week is: First Love Click the link to find out what GBE2: Blog On is and how YOU can participate. If you love writing and/or blogging, it's the place to go! Great people, great fun, what more could you ask for? FIRST LOVE When I first saw the topic for this week's GBE2, my first thought was of the friendship I walked away from just last week. He was one of my first love's. But I had already talked about it on a previous web post so I wanted something different. I just didn't want to focus on it. Today, while I was doing dishes, a.k.a inspiring myself, I thought of a different first love. To myself. I do too. I love myself. I may not always like myself... I mean come on, if you had to live with her 24/7 she might drive you batty too. But I do love myself. People can tell you so. I don't need to. Well I did, but... I'm digressing. I'm quirky, crazy (two different things there obbb...

(GBE2: Blog On) Let go of the reins and you'll know freedom

By
This week's (4th) GBE2: Blog On topic is "Control." For more info head here I admit it, I'm a type-A personality. It was a learned behavior. I felt as though I needed to be in constant control of everything around me. I worked 3 jobs and went for weeks on occasion without a day off. I still felt as though I wasn't doing enough. Not around the house, not with my friends, not for dating, not even for work. I just have always had this "I'm not doing enough" attitude instilled in me from a lot of the immediate people around me. So a lot of my behavior was ingrained so deep that I still suffer with that. I feel as though no matter what, I'm not doing enough, being the best I can be, and all of that great unhealthy attitude one should not have. But I do. And I know it's not good, but I still suffer with feeling inadequate because I am just not doing enough. Which is wrong. It's just something that I suffer with. I admit to it....

Silent relaxing sunday--wait it's Saturday. A day lost and found! :)

This week's   GBE   is about "Lost and Found." I know a lot of people some years back thought that I'd lost myself. I was even told it was the better part of myself. It took me years to figure out that it wasn't true. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always believed it to be true. Until I finally had the courage to admit to myself, that they were in the wrong; not me.  That's the problem with some "friends." They aren't really your friends. Someone recently told me something that really hit home. It was profound even.  She said:  "The friend is not a friend. just a person with emotional gravity in your life."    Well that's true. Granted, the comment she had made was from a completely different happening, but still it works.  A lot of people are fortunate in having tons of close friends, even close friends that stick around their entire lifetime. I gave up on that notion a long time ago. I realized that mostly, friends w...
