I got invited to a birthday party and all I got was this bruise.

This weekend, Kevin took a boys trip to Pennsylvania for the annual Eastern and Outdoor Show. I know, I'm super sad I couldn't go, seeing hundreds of men drooling over artillery and ammo would have made for an epic weekend.

However, I chose to stay home with my puppy dog and do some of my favorite things. First on the list, ladies night. One of my best friends just purchased her first home so we decided to celebrate with a few glasses of wine. Okay, a few bottles. Then on Saturday, I slept in until about 12, for obvious reasons and then was invited to celebrate my nieces thirteenth birthday. At a skating rink. 

I'm pretty sure you can figure out what happened next.

I went from this:


To falling flat on my ass in front of 30 middle schoolers. Turns out, falling in front of a bunch of 13 year olds as a 24 year old is still just as embarrassing. I could feel them all laughing at me. I'm now scarred for life.

Mentally and physically.


No I haven't showered and yes those are my husbands pajama pants. 
They have fish on them and they're comfortable.

Needless to say, I won't be getting on skates any time soon.

I will now resume watching the Superbowl commercials. How cute was that Darth Vader VW one?! Ahh!
That's all I have to say about that.

I feel like you should blog about our drunk tweeting

Looks like somebody needs to work on their balance lol. I agree with @Neely, bring on the drunk tweeting post.

Diana said...

At least you have an awesome bruise to show for it! I also LOVED that commercial.... ADORABLE!

Megan said...

Awwww, you poor thing!! I love skating...is that weird? I haven't done it in forever though, so I'd probably bust my butt too!

Jess @ Becoming Mrs. Beer said...

I get bruises all the time and don't know where they come from...at least you know what yours is from!

kelsey@mintedlife said...

Oh no!! But, skating is so hard! I went a couple years ago after not going for a long time and I couldn't believe how hard it was!

Hannah said...

Oh painful. We grew up ice skating a lot and since I have weak ankles I was prone to falling. At some point, I just stopped getting the skates all together - I was a cool kid that hung out at the concession stand nursing my ego.

Laura said...

Ok, this confirms that I never want to go skating again. The last time I went I was in like 4th grade and I fell on my butt SO many times - I could hardly walk the next day. And it hurt my ankles and knees so badly. I was exactly like Hannah - Finally stopped getting skates and sat around/talked at skate parties instead.

Hope your knee heals soon!

Ashley said...

Aww, your poor knee! :(

I also loooooved the Darth Vader commercial! So cute!

Kristin - Mrs. Glasses said...

Ouch! Hopefully, you didn't get hurt too bad. Being around kids always gives me horrible flashbacks to being uncool as a kid. We went laser tagging with a bunch of middle schoolers once and I immediately turned into a shy, awkward, embarrassed 13 year old again!

Anni said...

Ouch, hope you're feeling better and it doesn't hurt too badly!

Also, that is something I would do. I <3 you for the sentence "Turns out, falling in front of a bunch of 13 year olds as a 24 year old is still just as embarrassing." Let's just say I can relate...

conventionalbliss said...

Awwww! I hope that bruise doesn't hurt too much! Oh Skating Party Nightmares. I agree with Anni, I completely empathasize with that quote!

megan said...

I LOVED the VW commercial! That was GREAT~!

When my husband got back from Afghanistan last year, the very first thing we did was going roller skating. I don't know why, I said, "let's do it" and he obliged me. I wiped out too, which sucked but was totally happy to have someone to couples skate with.:)

Tiffany said...

haha bless your heart! maybe men drooling over ammo would have been better! ha! im terrible at skating rinks too! have a great week!

Erika Grover said...

LMAO bummer! You're brave for skating in the first place, I condsier myself moderatley coordianted & I know I'd face plant on roller skates if I tried...

Hope your better today :)

Tara, in 3 Parts said...

I went roller skating a few years ago after not having done so since like high school...it was definitely harder than I remembered! Thankfully I didn't fall but I won't be going skating on a regular basis, that's for sure ;)

steph c said...

Roller skating is brutal, and meant to be enjoyed by 13 year olds. I give you credit for going and skating ;)

I looooved the Doritos commercials, personally. Inappropriate my arse.

lavenderpug said...

poor thing! falling on those skating rink floors is no fun. i loved the darth vader commercial! though not as much as the pug doritos commercial--i mean, come on.

Krysten @ After 'I Do' said...

At least you know where that bruise came from! I have 2 bruises on my legs and no idea where they came from!

Nicole said...

Ouch! At least you have proof you were there ;)

Mrs. Adventure said...

Dude I haven't been skating in for-ever its on the list now :+) minus the bruise I hope.

The Shabby Princess said...

I'm fairly certain that anything with 'skates' in the name is just too dangerous for us grown ups.

Tiffany said...

Ouch! That looks pretty painful!

EmilyB said...

Oh dear lord. I mean...I guess it could be worse. You could have gone ice skating? That's, like, way more embarrassing when you fall because you're cold and icy and crap like that.

ooo that is a terrible bruise!! YIKES!! I hate those!!!
