Pack me in bubble wrap and call it a day...

My boyfriend likes to make fun of me because he says I'm the clumsiest athletic person he's ever met. He tells it like this:

Our friends told him they wanted to introduce him to someone who was in the local triathlon group with them, so he assumed that I at least had some measure of athleticism. We met, we hit it off, and on our first date we decided to go bowling. And I killed him. I mean it. I had the best bowling games of my life. Here's proof.

So he assumes that he's clearly made the correct judgment, although his ego is a little bruised. And then we hang out a little more and he begins to see that I can barely walk down the street, let alone up or down stairs without tripping. For awhile, I disagreed with him, and told him that I couldn't really be that clumsy, but then I started to add up all the injuries from the summer and I had to admit--he might be right.

Recent issues include:

When I hit myself in the head with the cork screw while trying to open a bottle of wine at the beginning of summer (I was sober). I probably should have gotten stitches.


There's the MANY times I've ripped open my knee from sliding during softball this summer (although I don't really think that's being clumsy...).

Then, about three weeks ago, I stupidly tried to take a turn too late on my bike, thinking I could make it. I didn't. Instead I got this:


And, most recently, while running on Sunday night, I tripped on a piece of sidewalk that was crooked and poorly lit and got this:

So, now when I go to a wedding this Friday in a nice dress, with my hair done, I'll have a scar healing on my forehead, a bright pink, barely-rid-of-the-scab scar on my forearm, and scabs on both knees. If I was a kid, I'm pretty sure my parents would be at the police station for questioning right now.

Are you sure you don't have an inner ear issue? I'm sure you will look beautiful at the wedding. Just don't injure yourself and create a scene to distract from the wedding.

I think I have an attention deficit problem...I plan on just sitting at the wedding...it's safer that way.
