I give you permission to laugh at me. I did.
Today I was taking a full-length practice exam for the boards and I was on my last set, with 2 questions to go (the test takes from 8-5pm to complete, so it's pretty intense), I was starving and really had to pee, so I was quite distracted. I glanced down at my stomach and thought, "Geez. I'm getting fat." I know I'm not actually fat, but I decided to throw myself a little pity party. Then, as I glanced back up to finish my last two questions, THE FREAKING CHAIR BROKE, AS IN COLLAPSED, UNDERNEATH ME! Talk about a fatty.
In all seriousness the chair had seen much better days. It was the only one we had left from a set of 4 chairs from a hand-me-down dining room set from some friends from college who had inherited it as a hand-me-down from some family. So, it was on the verge of breaking on its own, but the incident today didn't really boost my self-esteem.
But, then I checked my score and I had done pretty well on the practice exam, so that made up for it. :) Plus, for our anniversary, Jordan and I went out for a nice dinner and dessert. Pretty much a great day... all except for the my-big-butt-breaking-the-chair thing. ;)

OOOPS!
ReplyDeletewait until you think you can squeeze between things like behind a chair at a resturant...AND YOU CAN'T lol
you may feel fat, but trus me your not fat, your creating LIFE!!
I am more concerned about you hurting yourself. Maybe it is time to make a trip to Goodwill. They will have some chairs there that will not fall down. They may even have some that match. If not, paint them all different colors, even different colors on each chair. Add a little spice to your life. On second thought, maybe paint smell is not a good thing for you right now - have Jordan do it.
ReplyDeleteI was leaning back too far in a chair one time and Jennifer was there and it fell backwards and broke and it hurt but Jennifer just laughed and laughed! I had bruises after that.
