I am often frustrated by Klutzery.. I highly value elegance, grace and economy of motion. Whenever I drop something for no particularly good reason I am secretly disappointed with myself. On the other hand, it was actually really awesome that one time you tossed the salad and sprayed my kitchen wall with salad dressing.

I must unfortunately claim the Grand Klutz prize, not only due to falling flat on my face in a similar situation (no "nearly"), but by breaking an Actual Bone in my foot while doing so. I can only bear to have others read of this shameful affair by knowing that Moose and I have performed a valuable public service in demonstrating that the seemingly innocuous act of standing up after being seated in a chair can be way more difficult than one might think.

I think it is a testimony to a story-telling gift you have, that while reading about you almost falling flat on your face, all I could think was, “Awh. She’s so CUTE.”

(And I don’t mean that as “condescending cute” or “pinch your cheeks cute,” just “regular, old-fashioned cute.” Ok, I’m going to stop talking now.)

Hi! I followed a link from a site to another site, that site had a link here and I clicked. This post had me laughing out loud. Very, very funny (not your misfortune, just how you describe it). I get clumsy instead of PMS, I call it the PMC’s. It usually ends up with me wearing something I was supposed to be carrying. Great blog… I’ll be back.
Happy NaBloPoMo!!

I too am a world class klutz! I walk into door frames all the time. They make doors pretty wide nowadays, but I just don’t seem to be able to monitor where my body is in relation to walls(or desks!). I go home everyday with the biggest bruises on my thighs from walking into anything with a corner. My parents used to get so frustrated with me when I was little because I would come home covered in bruises that I had no idea how I’d gotten. That is a sure sign of a klutz!

I need to send this to my wife. She falls out of cars regularly. She could challenge you in some sort of Klutz Olympics.

I smell a rat! Or perhaps I smell a vengeful dog! Ones shoelaces do not magically tie themselves around desk chairs. My theory is the Meeka was angry about you spending quality belly-rubbing time with a chinchilla. This was her middle school way of getting you back.
