dear god please dont let me die under my car!

ok so i am often known to tell people that i almost died...cause im a drama queen and i love to get reactions out of people...but honestly...i really did almost die today...
ok so i decide to go to mardel a christian bookstore/supplies/trinkets/anything you could ever need store for the first time to try to find some hard to shop for family members gifts...well i get there suprised at how little traffic i encounter...its after 4...i was expecting a lot more people to be out...oh no...i find a parking spot easily...i think hey great! im doing fabulous...WRONG!!!!!! i go to get out of my car and thank the good lord that i didnt get out any faster...no sooner had i put one foot down did it slip out from under me so that i scramble first to try to figure out what is going on and then seccond to try to move fast enough to not hit the pavement...well actually i should call it what it was...friggin sheet o ice!!!!! ok so i figure out that its ice as i am trying to get my footing and loosing, while this is going on i realize that there is an elderly man in the car right next to me so me being all practical get embarrassed (now mind you i am still not upright...i am actually gripping with all my heart onto my steering wheel and any part of the car door i could get a hold of) so i get embarrassed that this guy probably saw the whole thing and then realize that if i keep going the way i was i was going to slam my car door into his car...not the thing you want to do with the owner sitting litterally right there! so not only am i trying to cling to the car door enough to right myself i am also trying to swing it towards me so as not to ding or scratch the guy's car...this is when i get mad and realize i have no "oh shit" handle on my side of the car...i now know at least one thing the next car i own will have! so anyway i flail about like a bug for what felt like hours and finally manage to kinda fling myself back onto my car seat...and slowly stand up and yes i looked around to see how many people were laughing...couldnt find any but im sure if nothing else my gaurdian angel was in hysterics by then...yeah i came real close to dying today cause if i hadnt caught myself i would have slipped under the car after smacking my head on the pavement...and honestly i can kinda see how my parents and brother would react if they got the call...they would sit there and just shake thier heads and laugh at how i can be graceful (as long as im dancing...any other time and i am the biggest klutz!)
so yes i survived my first trip to mardel and i think i will be looking very carefully at hte ground when i get out of my car for a while now.

and sorry amy i dont dare try and reinact that one for you...id end up with a concussion!

Personally I loved the message I got, "I almost killed myself today--unintentionally of course--but I almost really killed myself!"
