Dorkisms - just can't outgrow them can I?

After a hiatus of doing or saying utterly embarrassing things, here's a *mega* dorksim - perhaps it was God trying to warn me to be patient and to look before I take my next step!

Last saturday was an opening to see a new housing development called Cathedralpark. We had pre-registered to check it out - just to see what was up, since it was just down the street from our place. My mom was in line and I came from church and had picked up a large coffee for me, and a tea for my mom (plus a pack of 10 timbits that I had stuck in my purse). I'm walking up the roughly paved driveway towards the presentation centre; and had passed by two men who had almost knocked me over. I was just thinking - wow I had better be careful - I could get knocked over (on my heels) into the ditch in front of all these people!! I was even a bit ticked off because the two men didn't even move and knocked my shoulder a bit, while I was just centimeters from the ditch. Thankfully I had passed them without incident!

As I was walking onward on my own and suddenly, I lost my footing! I went flying - my coffee and my tea went flying across the parking lot, spilling all over the ground. Meanshile, I'm flying onto my knees and hands, doing a half roll - it was one of the worst spills I've ever had..on pavement. It was like a wipeout on the ski slope, except I was wearing my church clothes, heels and *had* two cups of hot liquid in my hands. There were tonnes of people around (all in line to get into the presentation centre). This lady ran over to help me up; it must have been such a bad looking fall - because she kept on apologizing to me - but it wasn't her fault, she just felt sooooooooo bad for me.

I had to go and pick up my coffee cups rolling around on the pavement. I still had 1/2 a cup left (which I still drank! I'll be damned to take a spill and have no coffee!)

I have a big bruise on my knee..

and on my pride! but that's gone now!

Perhaps that was a sign from God to take it easy - and not try to hurry to look at houses! Hehehehe

goodnight
