Mine....
I am too stubborn to ask for help and if i do and they cant help RIGHT NOW, then I just try to do it myself, which got me into trouble.
Got a new couch and wanted to get it downstairs. My brother said he would come over later and help me. Well, that wasnt soon enough, so I got it half way down the stairs and it was stuck on the light switch. since that was at the bottom of the stairs, i slid down the back of the couch and lifted it above the light switch, problem was, it got jammed. I couldnt get it to budge and I couldnt get back up the stairs. My dog was upstairs crying looking at me through the railing. I had no phone in that part of my house yet and the windows had really prickly bushes and roses for protection. i was stuck. I live alone and it can be days before somebody would miss me. Plus i was self employed, nobody would miss me. So, i sat down there trying to scream out the windows, nobody heard. I was screwed. About 2 hours later my brother shows up and since it was spring, my back door was open. he went around the back and came in with his daughter. They saw what I did and laughed thier butts off, went to my fridge and made them lunch and laughed the whole time and left me down there for another hours.
I was so embarrased and also thought it was sooooooo funny. I think about that when i lack patience...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
...Poor thing.
I was at a club, quite drunk, this guy came over and was chatting me up. I was single and he was hot so we were chatting when...
My chewing fell out of my mouth and plopped right in his drink.
He lloked at me then his drink then em again and jsut said 'Right, well, I'd better get another one'
I was MORTIFIED. Miraculously he came back and we ended up going a fw times!!
