Seriously.
So... it's Sunday, and me and the hubs have a hot dog gig to go to, and I'm always a little nervous when we have a gig (thinking, do we have enough product, do we have too much product, will the car break down, will we fit everything we need, etc.), and I head to the shower. I ALWAYS wear flip-flops in the shower. Partly from habit (college) and partly because I have never liked the feeling of my feet touching a bathtub/shower. Anyway... so we're running a little late, and I can't find my flip flops so I go in naked (literally!).
I always see those commercials where they make you feel like there is an epidemic of people falling in showers and bathtubs. I've never known anyone who has fallen, and I always thought it was weird as I didn't think showers were so slippery. The hubs mentions often that is one of his worst fears...falling in the shower and hitting his head, which I always thought was odd.
Well, this girl got a taste of whoop-ass from our bathtub...
I go to get out of the shower, our house was built strong in the 50's and our bathtub is solid porcelain. I put one foot outside the shower, and the other totally slips out from under me. I flailed my arms out instinctively to protect my head and let the brunt of the fall hit my legs and shoulders. So now I'm on the freaking bathtub floor with my leg hanging out over the side and it's so slippery I can get up. The hubs was luckily right outside the bathroom and heard the thud, he ran in like prince charming and lifted me onto the ground. The look of concern on his face frightened me, he was like "oh my god, did you hit your head, lay down"... My leg was hurting, but for some reason the hilarity of the situation and the feeling of being completely vulnerable and naked on the floor in the bathroom made me bust out laughing. I was thinking "who falls in the fucking shower!". The hubs didn't laugh though, he was so concerned that I actually fell and wanted to make sure I didn't break anything and that I wasn't just in shock or something.
So I'm fine... but it hurt, and I have a bunch of black and blues so that's always fun.
The event we did went great, except for the fact that it was 30 degrees, and we were so fucking freezing it took all night to thaw out. There were 7 food trucks and us... we love that we get invited to all the events with the food trucks, especially when our line far surpasses them!
Well, Happy Monday everyone... and make sure you pour a little out for your homies who have fallen... in the shower...
hehee
Here's the under-side of my knee for your viewing pleasure, that purple-white welt is pretty much standard on the back of my legs, back and shoulders:
