Gravity was not my friend!

Ah yes, there's that moment, you know when you put on a show for your loved ones by giving a very real and true meaning to the term "busting your a$$", and then you know they really are very concerned that you are ok, but all the while they are trying so hard not to laugh at you! Yep that moment?  Uh huh...I just owned it, and I'm pretty sure I'll be remembering it for a long...ouch don't touch it!

Was feeling swell 

before I fell,

gravity was not my friend.

Was not so proud 

of what I screamed out loud,

as I busted my rear end.

The unrepeatables I'd spoken

'cause I'm sure something I'd broken,

would certainly offend.

Now I'm so very sore

everything is such a chore,

I really hurt, I won't pretend.

I will remember that pain

as I hope not to ever fall again.

It may take a while to mend.

I'll pray to feel well

with regret that I fell,

for relief will be a godsend.

Then that memory I'll always have, 
as I look back and laugh,
whenever I remember that it happened.

I put together that  little poem to make me feel better perhaps, and to explain with a little humor I suppose.  

While laying around trying to feel better (and also trying to not feel sorry for my self), the words came to mind.  Sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself, and I do that all too well!  I took a tumble while we were just about to leave the park, after taking the pups for a swim.  There are many exposed tree roots of various sizes everywhere.  I let one trip me up causing me to fall backwards where I landed on a another large root and landing right on my left, [uhem] buttock!  Uh huh...Ouch!  Make that major Ouch!  I have a huge, I mean HUGE black bruise-(about the size of my hand) there.  Words can not describe my pain, and the after pain has been worse yet for the past few days.  It's been quite difficult and painful to get up and down.  I've been feeling very sore and have to say "I feel like I was hit by a truck, a semi-truck!"   I think I'll be recovering for a while...My pride is recovering too! 

I'll just keep saying to myself for now..."This too shall pass!"

Oh and,

"Is it wine-thirty yet?"...

Me and Bogart

(Camera phone photo)

Me and Bogart from tonight at Adam's Restaurant and Piano Bar in Buford!

-The words on the newspaper are..."Drinking in moderation"... 

Yes, Uh Huh, Absolutely!

I was quite amused and had to have a photo!  Notice the kiss on his cheek?  It wasn't from me though!  

We were having a Friday Date Night with Friends and it was our first visit to Adam's.  The food was great and we will definitely go there again!  The piano player looked a lot like Kid Rock and played and sang songs from a wide variety of genres. Some songs were better than others, and it was a bit hard to hear each other at times, but the experience on a whole was very good!

Good times!...

Eyesight - I See!

~ A new vision for me~

I've been experiencing what I call, that over-the-hill loss of near vision, for some time now.  I've learned the term for this is Presbyopia - a vision disorder that develops as we age, decreasing our ability to focus on near objects and small print.  Actually I believe it started for me around forty five-ish, (no wait, I'm only 39...*wink*) when I started feeling like I needed longer arms so I could read what I held out that far, at arms length.  

Falcon Freddy and Me!

I met Falcon Freddy!  Silly fella gave me a big ol' kiss on the first photo try.  It was  pretty funny, and a very unexpected moment...for me anyway!  

I had to delete that photo since it was blurry.

We all had a good laugh and then we struck another pose for this photo.  

I think my face is still red from blushing after that surprise kiss.

I wanted to share so you and I both can have a good laugh!
