How are you today? Today I woke up feeling like I was on the verge of something new and exciting.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s\u00a0 not starting out that way though.<\/p>\n<p>This morning I hinted to my husband that I might want to start running with him. Now he did 30 km for fun yesterday so I don&#8217;t mean that kind of running but just around the block or so. I haven&#8217;t figured out yet if I just want the cool running shoes or I really want to do it. Time will tell on that one.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking I should start thinking about exercise last week I came across this box that my friend Kaleigh gave me when she was clearing out stuff. It is an Ab slide. Now when I opened I don&#8217;t think she used it much as it was still in its packaging and I had to put it together. I&#8217;m not judging at all because it has sat in our house for a year already too. After what happened to me though I&#8217;m kind of glad she didn&#8217;t use it.<\/p>\n<p>This morning I was about to jump in the shower when I spotted it. So I put down a pillow for my knees on the carpet and tried to use it. I&#8217;m sure it wasn&#8217;t pretty as I was naked\u00a0but no one was home so no harm. I got in the groove&#8230;once&#8230;.twice&#8230;three times then all hell broke loose. Somehow\u00a0the silly thing\u00a0got stuck when I tried to push it and I went flying over it with the\u00a0momentum of my push and my\u00a0face went smack into the carpet, my glasses went flying and my right cheek took the brunt of it making a huge rug burn.<\/p>\n<p>Once I realized what happened and the shock wore off I started to laugh hysterically at how funny the whole situation was. All I could think about as I was rolling on the ground laughing like a mad woman was &#8220;you really have to stop asking for blog material&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t look at my face as I was a little nervous so I had my shower and then looked in the mirror. Oh my there is a big scratch on my face and a red mark down it from the rug. I&#8217;m thinking I have some &#8220;splaining&#8221; to do\u00a0when my husband gets home and the funny part is he will totally believe me as funny things happen to me all the time. (Since confirmed he said &#8220;you look like the outlaw Josey Wales&#8221;.)<\/p>\n<p>So\u00a0 that&#8217;s my exercise for the day. Who invents these things? Maybe they have a little video camera in them that activates on use and they all sit around and watch them. I was thinking though if I had a camera on me, and of course I was dressed,\u00a0that clumpsy mishap of mine\u00a0would have made me millions on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>I knew there was going to be trouble in the karma department when I let out a giggle when the lady went flying off the treadmill on The Biggest Loser.<\/p>\n<p>Quotes for you:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter.&#8221; Mark Twain<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.&#8221; William Shakespeare<\/p>\n<p>I promise to stay out of trouble&#8230;.until we meet again, Sharon<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pschiccottage.com\">The Psychic Cottage<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good Morning Dear Blog Friends.
