Ah you know that old saying if you have a plan tell it to God so he can have a good laugh? Well I truly believe that is and was exactly just what happened to me today! You see I was going to shovel the front walk because I am a giver, and also because it was completely covered out on our entrance into the store. So first I had the shovel, (ladies,and gentleman, this is NOT what I do, I am a lot of things, but snow shoveler is not on the list) It really should have been a sign when I thought out loud mind you, "Dang, it is slippery" ah at that moment as I turned to toss the shovel of snow off to the side I in one fell swoop did a fall that quite frankly may be the best described by first asking if you have ever seen a dog on skates? I not only slid, skid, and then gracefully (Not everyly so much on the graceful part) ate it into the snow pile with wait for it, my FACE!!! OK now listen, I am well at this point checking all major body parts, swiping snow out of my eyes and off my face, while oh ya did I mention that there was a sweet group of snowboarding dressed guys that just so happened to be crossing from the Pollard over to my corner? Oh ya it was sweet!
Now here is the funny part, as they were asking oh are you OK? I was unsuccessfully trying to get up! Ya God was uber funny today! I mean down right hysterical! Because every time I would try to get my footing and stand I would slip and get just deeper over to the snow piled on the side! Seeing that I had about the same amount of skill as Corky from Life Goes On in a hockey tournament, the sweet guys helped me up.
This is were I thanked them and laughed at how really this is just a fluke thing and that I had underestimated my strength when I was shoveling and tossing the snow. (ya not at all convincing!) They were sweet and one of them took the shovel and did the job in literally two min!!! You see he worked that shovel like a scalpel in the hands of Doogie Howser MD!
So with a totally bruised ego, self image, and the new found understanding that I shall employ an elf from the North Pole to do our shoveling at the store, I have decided that I should get an E for Effort on my trying to shovel, but that I really should have just opted for the stilettos!
