summer of stupidity, part 2!

zipper disaster part two occurred in the airport in franfurt, germany. we were heading through security on our way to catch our flight to moldova. the security guard pulled me aside to inform me that my zipper was down, yet again. really?!?! sheesh!! to make matters worse, it was stuck! i couldn't get it to zip back up!! again, attempting to laugh it off, i headed off to the water closet to fix my pants! i'm sure that i gave the german security guard something to smile about all day...it definitely brought a smile to mine and kelli's faces throughout our trip.

well, i thought the summer was pretty much over and hopefully my run of ridiculous events...but i was wrong...very wrong! last weekend i spent some time in maine with my family. we all went to breakfast together saturday morning. it was a great little local place...little being the key word! the twelve of us there pretty much took up the entire dining room. i was trying to be a good cousin and take pictures to document our time together when disaster struck. i had to keep backing up to get the whole group in the shot. i stopped when i felt a wooden highchair behind me. i was barely touching the highchair and about to take the picture...1...2...3...collapse! the entire chair crumbled and i tumbled...taking a picture of the wall in the process! my family was hysterical. i was stuck in the rubbish. the rest of the customers staring and laughing!

The last event happened when amber and I flew back in from maine. we landed around midnight and it was pouring rain. we left the car at a park and ride lot, the cheapest one around, and it was a little bit of a shady place. the shuttle picked us up and drove us back to the office to pay. the office was a single wide trailer with about five steps to climb to get to the door. the rain continued to pour down. we ran in, paid, and were running back out to the car. i hit the first step and then the rest, with my butt! i slid down them all, landing in a puddle at the bottom. everything in my purse spilled. i was soaked, my backpack was soaked, my purse was soaked...amber was hysterical. i had done it again! sore, wet, exhausted, and the only thing left to do was laugh!

i'm sorry to disappoint those of you who thought i was cool and had it all together...i am quite the opposite. i am clumsy and dorky...but i'm real. that's who i am and what you see is what you get! i hope my stories brought a smile to your face...they definitely do to mine! :)
