How I have missed this site and especially this forum!

San Jose, CA(Zone 9b)

I have really missed you all and the great information I get from this site.

I have been working long crazy hours these past few weeks and when I finally do come home, I am too tired to even log onto Daves. Now I know for sure this is an addiction because as I am reading through the threads and enjoying all the great photos, I almost have the shakes!

I am getting some forced time off today due to something dumb I did this morning. I didn't bother to get dressed when I drove my girls to school today, I just threw my raincoat on over my pjs. When I got home, I realized I had grabbed the spare keys for the car and left my regular house keys securely locked inside. What to do...go back to one of their school offices looking like a transient and borrow their key?...I would never hear the end of it...so in through an unlocked window I went, neighbors staring on. The plan was to land safely on a bed below, but my raincoat acted like a propellant and across the bed and onto the floor I went. Not one of my brighter moves!

Oh well, maybe it's worth it for a day of play on Dave's!

LOL - funny one! I remember during a hot summer (no underware under my sun dress), that I chopped my finger off trimming the bushes. Went to the hospital and they told me to put my legs in the air as I was feeling faint - told the cute young doc that I couldn't (no undies!!!) My family still laughs at that one!!!

Yea, I'm a bit stiff, but when I think of the alternative, (showing up at either teenager's school office), I know these pains will heal more quickly than wrath of angry daughter...at least I'm not too hurt to surf Dave's. I'm having a blast.

Chariton, IA(Zone 5b)

Oh Angela, that is too funny. It could have been more embarrassing had you gone to school. I think you made the right choice, even if the landing wasn't in the plans. LOL!

San Jose, CA(Zone 9b)

Yep, I know you're right, Brugie. I'm sure my girls agree, too, because when I told them about my little "incident", neither of them said, "Mom, you should have come and got my key". Their expressions were a mixture of sympathy and relief!

Goshen, OH(Zone 6a)

Oh my the kids didn't want to be embrassed by MOM Lol

LOL Angela, I do things like that also. My husband just looks at me with disbelief.

Oh Sue, that is too funny! You must have died. I guess you did not listen to your Mom to always have on clean underwear just in case you had to go to the hospital. LOL

Grass Lake, MI(Zone 5a)

This is too funny!! Thanks .

That is funny Angela! Glad to hear your not hurt to badly and you have a place to go and take your mind off of the Pj~Raincoat Window Adventure. It could have been a lot worse. You could have become stuck and the neighbors would have had to call 911 to have you removed....LOL

And she could have done a Sue and forgotten her undies when she got stuck hanging out the window. LOL.

Yep For sure. It most likely would have hit the tabloids then. So just think how lucky you really are Angela....LOL

LOL Kin!!

San Jose, CA(Zone 9b)

Too funny!! Well, when you put it like that, I do feel rather lucky! I'm cracking up getting this scary visual of me stuck in the window. I don't know if that would have been better or worse than my torpedo impersonation!

Sorry for making fun of you at your expence! Glad you have a good humor about it. I figured you would since you shared your experience with us here. Hope you are feeling better and not toooo sore from your Wet & wild torpedo ride.

San Jose, CA(Zone 9b)

No worries, Kin. I am constantly laughing at myself...I really think if this incident was on America's Home Videos, I would have made it to the finals. I neglected to mention I wear glasses and never thought to take them off first...(remember I thought I would plop gently down onto a soft bed)...so after my dive they were at a very odd angle at the top of my head and wrapped around my ear. Frankly, I am amazed that they weren't broken.

All in all, I am just sore enough that I SHOULD think twice before I do something like that again, but not too sore to garden. Life IS GOOD!
