A lighter journal entry...today I went to my mother's house to move some furniture. I opened a door to take a rug out, was halfway out the door when I realized I was being swarmed by red wasps...I ran backwards....if you know my gracefulness that isn't a good thing for me to do, especially in sandals. I had wasps all around me and two landed on my shirt. I screamed choice words, and promptly tripped over my own feet and landed hard on my right elbow in the gravel drive way.
There were four people in the yard and for some reason they didn't even turn around. I felt like Pee Wee Herman when he wrecked his bike and I almost said his line," I meant to do that.." They didn't even see me but I got up with my bloody elbow and went into the bathroom to clean it.
I now look like a 9 year old that had a bike wreck with a big, scabby elbow. I didn't get stung though...I think I either surprised the wasps or provided them a good laugh.
I would have loved to have my wasp dance on tape...I am sure I looked funny.
Even though my elbow hurts, I would much more want a skinned elbow than at least a couple of red wasp stings...those things hurt terribly for days...hence my overreaction, crazy-OMG-there-are-wasps-on-me dance...
I do remember dust flying when I hit the ground...
Ouch. It's was good you didn't get stung. Wasps hurt, I know from experience, when I was younger one got me. If you had that on tape you could send to Americas funnest Videos or something.

so do you just keep bursting out in laughter over it every time you think about it? LOL!
I've been looking for the last 1/2 hr for my wasp pic and I can't find it ANYWHERE! I'm so bummed - it was a really good one and I hadn't even edited it yet! I don't know what happened to it. I must have somehow deleted it. Plus, I emptied my recycle bin the other day so I can't find it there either!
hope your elbow isn't too sore. I was stung by wasps once - yes - waspS - I walked into a hive and was stung a couple of times. Ithink I was about 6 yrs old - it really hurt!!!!

I'm confused......... wait ......... maybe I'm not
Are all women clumsy? Or maybe there ought to be a law against flip flops. I was walking back from the coffee shop earlier this summer and caught the tip of my flip flop in a rough spot on the sidewalk. I flew foward, spilling my coffee and scraping my knees. A kindly neighbour ran across the street to help me up. She agreed that flip flops were a major hazard.
I had bandaged knees just in time for shorts season. Canadians wait all year for this...
A couple of springs ago, I was sweeping the dining room and felt something crawling up the inside of my pants leg... (I had on baggy sweats.) I cupped my hand around the fabric and could hear and feel the buzzing. Then it stung me. It stung me several times before I could remove the pants... How odd I must have looked running around in my underpants waving a spatula. I couldn't find the thing to kill it. So I put on my pants and started to wash the dishes. When I picked up the dishcloth... the wasp was waiting for me. Got me on the hand, but I got revenge eventually.

I wish I had seen it - then you could have used your line to explain your actions! LOL!!
