As The Stomach Turns

[eyesthatslay]

I got more bad news about my laptop the other day. The damage won't be covered by my warranty since it was due to operator malfunction...me being the malfunction, of course. *sigh* so it is gonna cost me around $150.00 to have repaired. Wah. Honestly, though at this point, I'd pay more just to get the darn thing back. *misses laptop excessively*

I'm at work today, so I'm giddy with decent internet access, I'm trying to catch up on replying to comments people have left me. :) If I've missed you, I'm sorry!

I had a domestic goddess crisis this weekend. I had gotten a wild hair, and decided to pull out my washer and dryer and clean behind them. OMGosh at the industrial!strength!lint that was back there. Gah. So I clamber up and over the appliances until I'm pretty much wedged down between them and the wall. I've got my Clorox wipes, and I'm happily cleaning away. I got through, then it was time to leave....Uh oh. I was stuck! I was home alone and stuck! You know how you hear of stories about trapped animals gnawing parts of themselves off to get free. In a moment of panic, I contemplated gnawing off a butt-cheek...then I got a hold of myself. "Self, (I said) don't be ridiculous! I can do this!" So I somehow managed to hike one foot on top of the dryer with the other foot still on the floor. This is *not* a comfortable position, people. I tried to pull myself up, but I had zero leverage, and the only thing I managed to pull was a muscle in my left bun. OW. I paused to size up the situation, and rest my offended butt-cheek. Finally, I figured out if I hooked my hands over the edge of the dryer, I could get enough leverage to pull myself free. Pull. Wince. Clamber. I hopped up on top of the dryer like a deranged frog. Free at last!! Who needs to climb mountains, or sky dive for adventure? I have adrenaline-laced moments in the comfort of my own home. Jealous? :P

Bwahahaha...I'm sorry... *snorts* I don't mean to laugh at your awful adventure but I just got a visual of myself being in that scenario.
Hope your butt cheek is feeling better.

Hee, hee, don't worry about. I've had a good laugh over it too. I have a way of getting into the dumbest situations in my household. :P

My butt is completely recovered. Thank you. :D

Oh, yeah, jealous all the way!

I knew someone would be! I seem to have all the fun. :P

lol!
Coming from one domestic godess to another, I can relate. I've been in similar situations, believe me.

House cleaning is challenging and dangerous work! (or at least when I attempt it, lol!)

LOL!!!

Ooooh, gah... my co-workers are sure I'm nuts, 'cause of the bouts of laughter.

I am so glad you didn't gnaw off your butt cheek. Although that may have been a harder task than getting out from behind the washer/dryer.

Re: LOL!!!

Hee! I'm glad I didn't have to resort to the gnawing either! Yay for dexterity! :P

[eyesthatslay.livejournal.com]

Lol. :) I'm glad I crack you up. :D

My bee-hind is back to normal. Luckily, I didn't pull it too badly. :)

I sense a new reality show..."When housewives get trapped ....". Possibly small documentary segments! Ooo! Maybe it could a new exercise craze? ...No? :)

Well, I *was* a Desperate Housewife there for a second. :P

Good HEAVENS, that was funny! Um, in the similar vein of your Thanksgiving story, might I copy & paste for my non-LJ friends? That's just too good...you're kind of my "internet Erma Bombeck", lately. *G*

(If it's not ok, s'ok, you know?) *laughs*

[eyesthatslay.livejournal.com]

you're kind of my "internet Erma Bombeck"
Bahaaa!

Lol, you are most welcome to share the funny/dorkiness that is me with your friends. :D

Excellent! Thank you!
