So I fell down yesterday...
So I fell down yesterday. On the ice. Hard.
We're not talking a little, dainty, oopsy-daisy fall. No. We're talking one minute I was walking to my car and the next I was lying on my right side, my right arm under my head. And my hip hurting like a big dog.
I have no idea--I mean NO IDEA--how I went from being entirely upright to entirely down. None. It was like that Japanese guy from Heros did that funky time freeze thing or something. It was just that fast.
And the worst part was that I was carrying my laptop and now the E key doesn't work right. How the laptop can be entirely fine with the exception of one key I will never know. But it's kind of an important key. Hello--it's a vowel, people. (I'm plugged in to another keyboard right now in case you're wondering.)
Oh, and the notebooks I was carrying slid like twenty feet across the ice.
And these two farmers saw the whole thing happen and it was a very BAND OF BROTHERS moment where I immediately yelled, "I'm okay! I'm okay!" long pause "Am I okay?"
But I was okay. I'm tough. Just as long as I don't have to be finE or uninjurEd or unharmEd or unscathEd or okiE dokEy .
Or anything else that involves the letter E.

Poor girl! A fall WITH an audience and now no E key. I lived for a while with a very defunct J key, which was bad, given my name and all. Have you tried pressing really hard?
Feel better soon!
Ahh that is aweful! I really do not like ice.(The whole slipery thing) I hope you do not have to type Ally CartEr!
Awww...I'm glad you're okay!!! That ice is hard isn't it? I bet you'll have pretty bruises...
Blake took me "cowboy sledding" on the ice in one of the back heifer pastures last week. I too have pretty bruises. Did you know that it's impossible to steer a sled on ice? At least it's impossible for me! LOL It didn't help that at the bottom of the hill there was a massive ravine, barb-wire fence, large cedar tree, cactus patch AND thicket of thorns. And did I mention that we were sledding at like 9 pm--in the DARK?!?! We used the headlights and the spotlight on the back of the feed truck to generate a little light. Obviously not enough seeing as how I managed to plow into the thicket of thorns EVERY SINGLE TIME.
It was so slick that I couldn't just stand up. I had to roll over on my hands and knees and then very cautiously try to stand. But remember, I'm balled up in a stupid thorn bush. Try to picture this in your head, okay? Me rolling around like a beached whale (I was wearing 4 layers of clothing) on the ice and squealing because that thorn bush was eating me alive. I wish we would have had a video camera!
Well, I hope this sharing of my little adventure makes you smile! :)
That darn ice! I'm telling you, It's dangerous stuff! I'm so glad you're ok, well...aside from the bruises that you'll probably end up with :(
I hope you feel better soon!
Advoid ice if possible!
:) Kami
Glad you're okay! Completely sucks about the E key, though? And if the laptop is completely fine except for that one thing, well-- arg! That would drive me crazy! Maybe you can take it somewhere to be fixed?
Is it okay that I am laughing since you laughed at me during my rollerblading accident?
That happened to my mom walking out of the doctors when I was about 7. Scary thing was that I was holding onto her hand. She fell I don't remember much cause I was very young. But my sister was 10, ran inside and got someone. Luckily we were near the doctor so they helped her and came and took care of us btu she only remembers being upright and then lying on the ice. Wow it is the Ally story all over again hehe
I have a dysfunctional A key on my work laptop. Very irritating. I practically have to stomp on the A key. You have my complete and total sympathy.
I am typing on a keyboard with a disfunctional r key. Again, the stomping is almost necessary. Hope you're not too bruised up.
AmandaRene-
You must be at Mom & Dad's house :-)
Amber-
What was your first clue? You've experienced the wrath of the r key as well!
