Have you ever noticed....

that you never injure yourself doing something smart? Like have you ever heard someone say, "Oh, I was doing the smartest thing on earth when I hurt my _________(insert random body part here)"? Nope, it's always doing the stupid stuff that gets us hurt. And it's always so embarrassing to admit how you hurt yourself when someone asks. For instance, today I am running around with a pretty swollen, somewhat bruised, right eye. It looks lovely, NOT!!

How did I hurt my eye, you might as, as my co-workers did this morning? Well, ummm, I was, ummm, shooting a rubber band? Who was I shooting a rubber band at is the next logical question, of course. Well, ummm, it wasn't a 'who' so much as a 'what'. See, I decided to be clever last night and shot a rubber band at a fly. Yes, you read that right, at a fly. Oh, I'm sure I could have grabbed a fly swatter or even a piece of rolled up newspaper, but oh no, I had to shoot a rubber band at it.

So, there I was, lining up my shot. I closed one eye to be able to aim just right. I pull back the rubber band to get that fly good and THHHWWAAAP!!!! the rubber band broke and popped right back at my eye. OUCH!!! I think I saw stars. It was a good 2 minutes (maybe longer) before I could even speak, it hurt so bad. I think I'm just lucky that I had my contacts in. That probably protected my eye a bit. I spent most of the rest of the evening with an ice pack on my eye and I'm a bit surprised my eye wasn't swollen shut this morning. It's still kinda sore but I think I might just survive it now.

Fortunately, my co-workers know me and D well enough to not think for even a moment that it could have been him that blackened my eye. Poor guy, he was a bit worried that he'd somehow get blamed for it. Nope, no wife beating going on here. Just plain old stupidity.

Wow, I got an "R" Rating!! Cool!!

I found this here.

Maybe it's a sign of a totally warped mind but I think it's hilarious that I got an "R" rating because I said "abortion" 3 times, "sex" 2 times and "shit" once. Gee, I wonder which of those words put me over the line in the rating system.

I've been meaning to post for a while now but have just been busy. I had a post all thought up for father's day about my dad, but even after all this time (he passed away 19 years ago), my thoughts and feelings about him are too complicated and I wasn't up to posting it all. I will soon though, promise.

D. had a wonderful father's day though. I surprised him with a new Nikon D40 camera that he's had his eye on for a while and baked him a cherry pie. He loved them both. A. spent the day down at his father's house and I'm glad for them both. They don't always see eye to eye but at least they have a relationship. Makes me glad that I kept insisting that A go with his father on those weekends when he was in middle school and hated me for making him go. I always said that if he grew up and chose not to have a relationship with his father, it wouldn't be because of anything I did or said. I'm glad I put my personal feelings aside and stuck to that.

Anyway, I'll post again soon. Have a great weekend everyone. (If anyone is still reading this).
