I just took a flying leap.....
literally! LOL!
I was walking from the kitchen to the den. I was carrying a small plate of mashed potatoes and corn. My toe caught on the door jam and I fell forward on to my belly right into the den. Thankfully, the only injury I sustained was s skinned knee. But let me tell you, when you fall face forward with a plate full of mashed potatoes, they go EVERYWHERE! I had mashed potatoes all down my arm, between my fingers, down my leg, and on my shoe. Thankfully, the floor in the den is concrete, so after I picked up all the corn - I could just mop up the mashed potatoes. Gary was sitting in the den and was about 3 feet from where I landed. I was laughing so hard, and after Gary determined that I wasn't hurt, he started laughing too. We were laughing so hard, I couldn't get up. Today is his birthday and I had fixed him a special birthday dinner including corn and mashed potatoes. He said to me, Well, that was entertaining, but you didn't have to do acrobatics for my birthday". LOL! I am still laughing, but oh so thankful, that I didn't break anything!!!

OMG Gayle! Thank goodness you are ok and you didn't break any bones! So glad you and Gary could laugh about it and didn't have to call 911 lol! Does this mean he didn't get the mashed potatoes for his birthday?

Oh Gayle....I was laughing reading your story...you told it with such humor. I'm so glad you weren't hurt. Actually I'm shocked you weren't since your floor is concrete. It's good you both had a good laugh....I just hope you're not too sore tomorrow.

The mashed potatoes must have cushioned your fall, lol. So glad you weren't hurt, and the mess wasn't too bad. Be careful up there in Austin!!

Actually, the mashed potatoes and corn were for me - Gary already had his plate! LOL! That stinker, he called my daughter (who lives about 10 minutes away) and told her to come over and make sure I was OK. I was so surprised when she walked through the door and asked if I was OK. Yes, Janet, I will be sore tomorrow, I'm already feeling it all over! And it is a good thing I fell completely forward (on my stomach) or I could have really hurt something if I'd hit the concrete floor with my knee, hip, or arm (shudder).

Hey everyone, just to let you know that I am OK this morning - not even sore, well maybe just a tiny bit.
I took 4 Advil before bed - wonder drug! I'll try to be more careful today! I'll need to be, it's 45, windy and rainy! YUK!  This is our first NASTY day of fall so far.

Aren't we extraordinary machines? The wear and tear our bodies endure.
I know what you mean about laughing! I fell two days ago, and I threw myself even more forward so I wouldn't land on my nephew. I banged right under my knee and I knew instantly that I would have a bruise, which I do now. My sister was sitting in my living room with her other child and she thought her son fell lol Mashed potatoes must have been interesting! LOL So glad you didn't hurt anything though Gayle
