Can I pretend to be new?

I'd post one, but I have way over 25 posts!!! lol

Go ahead you two! Post away.

I'll tell one too.

This just happened last night;

I ordered some plants a few weeks ago and the roses were delivered yesterday so I had to get them planted.
Last evening I was getting the ground ready...digging, pulling weeds, compost, fresh potting soil. Finished, I dug the hole, turned around to get the first plant and stepped on the prongs of my rake.
You could probably guess what happened next but I'll tell ya anyway.
Sooo, I stepped on the rake (that someone left there for me to step on) and...clonk! I saw 's and dropped to my knees . Thought I was gonna pass out , but didn't.
I sat down on the ground for a good 10 minutes untill I got my bearings.

But, wait, I'm not finished! I finally get up off my butt and walked toward the house....Yikes! I had sat in a nest of Fire ants and several bit me.
Now I have a knot on my head and bites on my legs.
I did finish the planting though.

ROFL!!! Oh man, well, I don't think I can write as colorfully with all the emoticons... you got me there. I was just going to share that on Sunday hubby and I were out working on the fences... were were pulling the top of the wire up and tightening it. And Jamie has this neat way of snatching the top wire with the claw of his hammer and jerking it right up. So I thought, well, I can do that too!

So I take my hammer and snatch at the top wire.... and miss.... and the handle of the hammer flies up and slams right into that bone that's right over your eye. Yeah, gave me a good black eye. I thought he was going to pee, he was laughing so hard... and I was laughing and cussing and crying all at once!

Funny how both of our stories involved bodily harm!!!!

And, tools!

Well it sounds like you two kicked your own a**es! Black eyes, sore butts. My story involved embarassment with a room full of firemen. It's actually still the family story on holidays.

Getting ready for work one morning, my neighbor calls me and said my grill was on fire in my back yard. Mind you it was about 6AM. It was not on fire, she was just nuts. But she called the fire department. Now me in a panic throw on some clothes, run back to the bathroom to finish getting ready, and then I hear the sirens coming. Two fire trucks with 3 men in each, good looking men (I have a thing for firemen) come storming in, running through the back to check the grill, and nothing.

So they all meet back in my living room. I had a huge dog at the time that was a nervous nelly. But he stood the middle of these 6 huge, good looking men and decided to take the dump of the freaking century right in front of them.

I was mortified! They all laughed and then ran out the door. Me? I go back upstairs into the bathroom to find I was wearing make-up on only ONE EYE! ONE EYE! I was in such a panic when I heard the sirens, I forgot to finish my makeup! ONE EYE!

And that story is just one of many most embarrassing moments.

That is just too funny. I can just picture it.
What did you do?
