Location: on the fine line between insanity and geniusness | Here's y'all a good laugh to start your week, or end your weekend- depending on when ya read this!! Those of you who know me know I definitely don't mind laughing at myself, so why not let y'all in on the fun?! So this weekend we actually get to take the living quarters trailer to the ranch rodeo instead of the cow trailer because we went and stayed with my brother and some friends the night before. I get up this morning and stumble to my coffee pot and learn the hard way that the peddle on a RV toilet is meant to be pressed with your HEEL not your TOE. Somehow, and please remember this could only happen to me.... I managed to step on the flusher peddle (is this what you call it?!) as I am standing up and desperately trying to get to my coffee pot lifeline, I press the peddle with the front half of my foot. Never before have I realized that this thing is like SUPER spring loaded, and in my half-awoken state the flusher peddle snaps up and closes ON MY MIDDLE TOE. In case this wasn't traumatizing enough- my toe is now trapped in the flusher peddle housing! So I have to step on the demon peddle again and beg it to release my mangled phalange!! I screamed like a little girl... or someone being mugged on the subway, I can't be sure!! The fiance of course heard none of this- thank goodness I got my toe back! Luckily, my toe is still attached, but is sporting a nasty cut and a shiney purple bruise tonight!! So I'm taking volunteers for a much cooler story for my limp!! I refuse to tell people that I got my butt kicked by a flusher peddle all because I literally don't function before coffee!! When you think your life is a circus- come sit by me!! |

Location: on the fine line between insanity and geniusness | Like seriously?!? Who gets attacked by a toilet?!? And I don't even have a cool story to go with it! It wasn't like I was IN the ranch rodeo and got hurt... NOPE. The killer pottie attacked me before the rodeo even started! And I think Ricky thought I was being dramatic (surely not?!?) until we got home and he saw my toe!! He was like holy crap that looks gross!! Ummm yeah dude, I tried to tell you it was a serious kinda deal! |

I have a story....
We had just gotten our new LQ last august. It came with a mattress but we added one of those memory foam toppers. The trailer has a line of cabinets above the bed, where the pillows would go. It was one of our first times staying in it and we had indulged in a couple beers. Bed time rolled around and I was up in the bed. Hubby decided to do a leap/slide in and was a little too exuberant... the memory foam squished and his head slid between the cabinet and the mattress. Memory foam re-expanded, trapping him in place and flailing like a stuck chicken. I was laughing so hard, I couldn't help him. Ahhh, good times.  |

Tell him that he makes me feel better! At least I'm not the only one that can't be sent out unsupervised!! Being a grown up is dangerous! Sad thing is I was completely sober when my incident happened! |

If you're anything like me, and it sounds like you are, not having coffee in the morning is not quite considered sober... |

| My best story is standing stark naked waiting for the water to heat up...which it never does...because that requires you to turn on the propane/water heater which I always seem to forget about. EVERY. DANG. TIME. |

My mother and my aunt did that... kinda! They did it on the side
Of the interstate, and when Thelma and Louise let the door blow open there stood a very nice highway patrolman stopping to make sure they were ok!! Instead of a flat tire he got two full moons! You can't send those two ANYWHERE! I was just proud they didn't get taken in for indecent exposure! |
