falling up
i fell up the stairs yesterday. I know "falling up" seems almost physically impossible, but I can confidently inform you that to achieve this you have to have skills and poise, both of which I have, yes? so I fell up the stairs with two full bags of groceries and rammed my knee into one of the steps, right in that tender spot where you feel like your knee is connecting with the rest of your leg (i know, are you shuddering? isn't that such an awful feeling? sort of like hitting your funny bone but in your knee and 10 times more painful). there was agonizing pain, i admit perhaps even some swearing, and definitely a long PAUSE before I could collect my wits and crawl into my apartment. and now my knee is killing me. it's definitely swollen and I'm sure I have a pretty bad bone bruise, but I'm hoping all is well despite the small limp I've adopted. i do my first tumbling class on tuesday and I don't want to be labeled as "that gimpy girl" straight off.
in better news, i got to have lunch at CPK with Stephanie and Brandon in emeryville yesterday! it was great catching up with them, as usual, but I felt impossibly tired from lack of sleep and a full day of bridal shower supply shopping. I even spent the entire evening putting together favors and decorations (which turned out great, IMO, but I won't be posting pictures until after the event because i know elaine reads this and I want it to be a surprise!)

yeah...falling up the stairs is not fun. i did it freshman year of college going up the stairs to my dorm. i wasn't carrying two bags of groceries but i was carrying my books, a bag of wendy's, and a coke. when i fell, the coke spilled all over my clothes, my books went flying all over the place, and i lost one of my flip flops down several steps. luckily, i didn't hurt myself. but i looked like a big old mess when i got into the suite and one of my suitemates that came up later asked why there was coke all over the stairs.
i was wondering where I remembered the "falling up" story from..although I thought it was jen, not you. but now that you say it, i totally remember that post! hahaha..man cherry, we're too clumsy.
