Excrement

I have slipped on the ice twice in the last two days. I suppose skidded would be a more correct description of what I did, because I managed to keep my balance and not fall. The cost of not breaking a bone was wrenching my back, but I am okay with that. What I am not okay with is the fact that this has happened, especially twice in two days! In the 7, almost 8 years I have lived in cold, snowy and icy areas I have never, not once slipped or skidded on ice. Seriously. Am I getting old? Perhaps Colorado Springs is icier than other places I lived. Once it got cold in Boston, it stayed that way. Here it gets cold, then warm, which allows for melting and then FREEZING cold again, creating ice patches that are hard to distinguish from wet patches. Whatever the problem is, it is all interfering with my ability to run, and my sense of coolness.

Wait! What was that? You read correctly, I am running! But that post will have to wait. Tonight I slipped coming out of Panera with hot soup and it is waiting for me...

But here are three random thoughts that are rolling around in my head. The skid dislodged them, I think.

~They don't sell Mod Podge at CVS.

~I don't like dishsoap that is scented. Once I bought some fruity dish soap and had to give it away because I couldn't stand the smell. I want my dishes to have no scent or have the scent of the food on them only. Last night I paid $4.00 for Seventh Generation dishsoap because the cheap ones all had a scent to them.

~ In my entire life I only heard my dad cuss once when he was trying to fix a toaster. And then he apologized. He did say feces, but that doesn't count as a bad word. I cuss, you all know it, but I am trying to do it less. Though some of you bring it out in me! TB, JD, HW - you know who you are! But, I do try to cuss using the first letter of the word, which is clever, I think. And, I started doing that long before texting, so I didn't steal it from that!

So, I am going to go eat my soup and take some Motrin for my GD back!
