Bumbles and Baubles

It's no secret I'm a clutz.

For those of you who didn't know me in high school.. I tripped down the stairs, walking off stage at homecoming coronation.  Hopefully no one noticed.

Years later, I also nearly fell on my skirted arse while walking to center ice at a Lancers hockey game to perform the national anthem.  Many people noticed.

So last Thursday, I really shouldn't have been surprised when walking off set after our 5pm newscast, my stiletto heel caught inside the cuff of my pant on the opposite leg, and I proceeded to go tumbling down the two stairs that make up our set, did some kind of stop-drop-and-roll move in the process.. and landed on my arm/side/butt/back.

I'm gifted, people, I'm telling you.

Most of my coworkers and all of my bosses know about the baby.. so needless to say everyone came RUNNING to make sure I was ok.  Physically, I was fine.  My  pride was another story.  Thank God we don't have web cams anymore (Carrie, I know you were thinking/wishing it :)

So alls OK.. right?  Everyone had a good laugh and we're moving on...

 Until two days later, I was walking through the mall and under the neon/super bright mall lights I noticed that I had knocked loose one of the tiny diamonds that makes up my wedding band.  The big sucker was fine THANK THE LORD.. but I about PUKED thinking I had lost ANY of the diamonds making up the ring that is soooo precious to me.

No worries.. the fine folks at Borsheims assured me it was a quick fix.. for the low, low price of $18!! 

AND they are rushing it for me so I can have it back in time for our first anniversary this weekend. 

People, I heart Borsheims.

In the meantime.. I'm sporting this little beauty from Claire's.

I feel NAKED without my ring.. and the last time I came to work without it, I got emails from little old ladies, telling me how they recently lost their husbands of 50+ years.. and WHY WASN'T I WEARING MY WEDDING RING!?!?   So I tried substituting my class ring for it instead.. and then Brian made fun of me, I had flashbacks about falling off the stage at homecoming coronation.. it all came TUMBLING back..

Claire's it is.

Let's hope Baby Paul gets Brian's moves and not his/her momma's.
