I trip on air molecules. 12:14 PM

I really do! To say I'm accident-prone would be a major understatement. If there is a way to injure one's self...if there is something to be broken, I can do it. Effortlessly.

I can compose beautiful songs on the piano, but it's difficult to walk in a straight line...SOBER.

I wonder sometimes if it's as much clumsiness as a black cloud following my every move. Last night at Cafe Rio (if you haven't been there, you should! It's delicious!), my husband and I asked the cashier if we could have a couple of lids in case we didn't finish our food. These lids are circular cardboard and foiled on one side. She was struggling to get two off of the stack and finally grasped them and thrust them at me...to be exact, right into my thumb. You know how painful paper cuts are, even though they may look insignificant. I had two thin, foiled cardboard lids slice directly into the upper flesh of my thumb. I stared at it with almost some strange type of humor. Has that exact thing ever happened to anyone else? My thumb bled and the panicked girl gave me a bandaid and everything was fine...but still. What are the odds?

And yes, I really do trip on air molecules. It's a wonder to even myself. *^_^*

As your mom, I can attest to the truth of this as I have seen you do it many times! My favorite memory is of us going back to our hotel in London 3 yrs ago...you carefully guarding the bowl of chocolate drizzled strawberries we'd bought...you walked into the room & it was as if invisible little gnomes tripped you & we watched in horror as the strawberries & chocolate sailed through the air & onto the bedspread! You just don't see that every day, but with you there's always a better than average chance! :P

Love ya, Mom
