I just got back from roller blading, and let me tell you, that was the worst session of roller blading of my life! lol. I was about 5 miles from home when my left roller blade felt like there was a rock stuck between the front two wheels. I was trying to stop to look at it, but when I put that foot down again, it totally stopped and I did a face-first rolling dive into the sidewalk, which turned into several summersaults! When I stopped, I was laying on my back across the entire sidewalk, kind of dizzy! lol. I looked down and the second wheel from the front was missing on my left roller blade...wth?!?! I looked for it everywhere and I couldn't find it anywhere!

As a result, I have bruising already coming out on my right arm/shoulder, right knee, my forehead/temple/cheekbone, hip, and ribs. Plus, I broke the screen on my iPod, and had to walk home since no one was home that I could call to come get me....... why does this always happen when no one is around that can come pick me up?! So I had to walk the five miles home.

What really pisses me off is that I never did find that wheel, and now I have to buy a new set of wheels for my roller blades...

Sorry, had to vent and laugh at myself... :)

OUCH!!!!


Reminds me of the first and ONLY time i ever rollerbladed.... the end result was about the same

That sucks Jill. I would be more upset about breaking my ipod screen than anything else, lol, funny what priorities people put on things.

I'm glad you're ok though. Break out the neosporin and the hello kitty bandaids, buy a new set of wheels and get back out there...course another bright side is that after walking 5 miles you can afford a special goodie tonight if you want it....

OMG you poor thing! I'm glad the only thing broke was the ipod! But as J mention I too would probably cry if I broke my ipod LOL!
And yes have that special treat after that terrible face/back plant...you deserve it!

Haha, yeah the ipod thing sucks, but I've been kind of looking for an excuse to buy a new one anyway...I guess now I have one! lol. I think I'm going to take today as my cheat day instead of Sunday like I normally do...I need chocolate to recover my dignity after I took that spill...did I mention it was on MAIN STREET? I live in a town of 10,000 people so main street is kind of the center of it all. Yep, tumbled down in front of my whole town. Hm. I should get more than a few laughs when I get to work, since I work at the biggest company in town, I'm sure someone from work saw it happen...lol.

Yep that's how it goes. When I went down on my bike in Monterey, it was on Lighthouse Blvd, at the intersection by the tunnel, by far the heaviest traffic spot in Monterey!
We visit there a lot, thank god I don't know a soul in that town LOL! I'm just happy I didn't get hit by a car...ugggggg!!!
Happy ipod shopping hahah!
Kelly!

You poor thing!!

I have never tried skiing or rollerblading because I KNOW I'd end up doing a face plant and breaking all the important bones in my body.

Here's to hoping you heal quickly!

OUCH!!! Tumbles hurt!!! I hope you are able to hop back up soon!

Oh my god, I thought I was the only one that fell on my rollerblades anymore! I did something very similiar last week and my ass still hurts!! :) Anyways, I hope you're feeling better!

I want to try Rollerblading, now I'm scared!

Glad you are ok!

Yiikes, that sounds painful!!!



The last time (and I mean LAST) time I went rollerblading, I cracked my tailbone.

Be careful out there, missy!

I'm sure Phatsis would have rubbed that for you Shan.

Let's not tell him it's healed. (tee-hee)

shannon you are so bad.

i love it.

Check out your "now" picture!! Smokin!!

I was just thinking how when people fall the first thing they do is get up and look around to see if anyone saw it......But I guess there was no point for you to do that!
