Life Lessons #3 - Eye on the Prize

Maureen's "learning through mistakes" session - TAKE THREE. 

FYI: These little articles have this statement attached: "Through trial and error I have learned a few nifty things in my lifetime. Some things are "growth" (psycho-babble) issues, some just plain old, every-day try and fail common sense stuff. I'd like to share one of those very important things with you now. This will fall under the "common sense" arena of "things learned." It is my hope to help womankind by sharing my ridiculous errors with you so you will not have to suffer the same fate that I do (on a daily basis)."

Category 3: FALLS/TRIPPING  

Action: NEVER - and I mean NEVER - (if you are ME) try and walk over a dog in the middle of the night in the dark on your way to the bathroom because you think you know where he'll be. 

Result: Right eye socket connects with corner of flat screen TV set.  Body scan after shock of collision reveals that eyeball is still in tact, but eye socket bashed and ego definitely bruised.         

Ridiculosity (My new word) scale - (on a scale of 1-4 as follows): 1 = Dumb, and completely understandable mistake 2 = Idiotic 3 = Get a grip! 4 = Utterly moronic and ridiculous - you should have known better! 

THIS stunt earns me a 4 and a shiner that makes me look like I'm on Broadway in CATS (only on one side).

"Cats" has had it's run, so isn't it time for me to stop trying to walk?

 

Is it just me, or does this happen to everyone? Just sharing. 

Cheerth!
