DOWN DOWN DOWN SHE GOES!!

So, this morning was a SERIOULSY cold morning. (34 degrees!!) I was heading out to a Primary Presidency meeting... hands full (binder, purse and posters I made of our last activity)... put my shoes on and headed out the door. I noticed it had been a lil chilly last night. I proceeded to walk down my stairs and WHOOSH!!!

DOWN SHE GOES!

Yup, you got it. I slipped and fell on my hip and side of my leg (all the while trying to protect those posters I spent HOURS on and money on) and continued to slide down 3 stairs. I sat there going "OH MY GOSH.... OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH" all while making sure the posters were OK.

So, I got up and COULDN'T find my keys! They had been flung in the attempt to grab the railing, while not destroying the sacred posters. Did I mention that already? Anyway, so I start looking for the keys, which have now fallen underneath the stairs in the abyss of growth... UGH! I was already running 15 minutes late and now in total pain on my hip and leg. So, I said, "FOR REAL!! WHERE'S MY KEYS??" I guess that was my lil prayer plea. HAHA! Well, I found them (thanks to the disneyland keychain that is bright red) and went on my way.

So, now I'm sitting here with a huge bruise on my leg and feeling like a putz. I scolded Ben for not getting rid of the foliage that has popped through the stairs, thus making it more slippery. I will remember to cautiously approach the stairs from now on.

Thus ends my fabulous adventure, one which I hope to not repeat!

Signing off, big bruise, sore hip and all!
