Now there's been a MAJOR setback

I had a fabulous Chicago St. Patrick's Day weekend with my super good friend Chad aka Chadillac aka Chadasaurus Pecs. He flew in from Denver; it was the first visit to the windy city. I took it upon myself to show him an awesome time. On Saturday, we rocked out with some great friends and green beer. On Sunday, I was quite sore and I couldn't quite figure out why. WELL, I realized it was from all of my sweet dance moves. Wonderfully, there's photographic evidence.

Alright. Enough of that.

On the actual St. Patrick's Day, I had quite the mishap. It was 10:30 am and I was heading to break with a co-worker when I decided walking down the stairs was much too easy. Instead, I missed the first step and barrel-rolled down 9 stairs to the landing. Very successfully, I cleared 4 conference rooms of people and embarrassed myself beyond belief.
The following are the facts that make this event hilarious:
1. I was wearing a dress. It was green for St. Patrick's Day.
2. I wore my hair curly that day (meaning - it's friggin' huge). One of the women that saw it happen asked (while removing the hair that was in my face), "Oh! Did you lose your hair clip?" Me: "No, my hair just looks like this today."
3. I some how nailed my co-worker with my heel and she has a bruise on her shin.
4. I couldn't wear pants to work because I have bruises across my lower back and on both my hips. The waistband made me cry when I tried to sit down. 
5. The conversation with my 72-year-old coworker who sits in front of me that we had the day after the incident: 72-year-old coworker says - "Was it hard to get out of bed?" Me - "Yes. I'm really sore and bruised all over." 72-year-old coworker says - "I thought it was because your walker was on the other side of your room."

Alas, I'm in quite a bit of pain. The only working out I can do is walking. I have a pretty severe bruise on my left forearm, carpet burns on my right leg, a 2 inch cut on my shin from my other heel stabbing it and the bruises all over my lower back & hips. THANK BABY JESUS I didn't break a bone or lose any teeth or snap my neck. The reason so many people came to the scene was because my coworker screamed. She thought I died. I'm sure it looked like it. It takes a lot for me to get embarrassed and this was immensely successful with this incident. 

I hope this makes your day and you had a hearty laugh at my debacle. SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS FRIENDS!!!
