How is it that I always get hurt doing the most usual things and then do something that should have really hurt but I am totally fine?
I have had my fare shares of injuries. But they all were the result of something so simple and so stupid that it is hard to believe that it is true. When I was eight I was STANDING on my driveway in my rollerblades. Now I just have to say that I was quiet the rollerblading queen in my day and steep hills with speed bumps and cars coming was no problem. Okay so back to my driveway, the dog was outside with me and was hooked up to one of those long skinny tie down rope things for dogs that is 40 feet long. Apparently I was standing near the rope when my dog noticed a cat walking down the street and when she starting running, the rope grew taught and basically clothes lined me while I was STANDING STILL. I flip and sprain my wrist. The worst part is having to explain that I have a soft cast on my hand due to standing near a dog. I thought this was the last time I would have to deal with this embarrassment. Oh no.
Two Decembers ago I was WALKING up a steep hill on my way to work when I slipped on some snow/ice. I put my hands out and BROKE my thumb. Yes that is right I broke a bone while walking. Even James did not believe it when I called to tell him that I needed a ride to the hospital. Was I done there? I think not.
Last Saturday morning I was BLOW DRYING MY HAIR, when I felt immense pain in my lower back. A trip to the chiropractor and a lot of granny walking and I find out that I put my back out by trying not to get a cold.
Am I alone here or does everyone else get hurt doing everyday tasks?? Oh and as a side note I totally brainstorm stories to tell when someone asks me how I got hurt.

Ha! Sorry to laugh at your misfortune, but I remember your slips in Utah. Now this. And the roller blade story is pretty hilarious. If I ever get hurt in a non-brag-worthy fashion, you'll be the first to know!
