So, there I was sewing some pants...

Yesterday was just a normal day, where I would break out my 'at home' skills, not expecting anything interesting. So the jeans get stuck under the needle, anyone who knows what they are doing would know that I should prolly have been using a stronger machine needle. Was I thinking about that...? Of course not, I just wanted my favorite pants to be fixed so I can wear them around alright. So I pull the pants off the sewing machine, check the threads and the needle, from a lack thereof expert exam, everything seemdto be fine. I step on the machine peddle to test my findings when suddenly... DUN DUN DUN. There is a loud snapping noise, so out of pure reflex and ultimate ninja intuition [maybe because this has happened before, but not exactly this bad], I shut my eyes really tight. [Also possibly out of fear of something like what happens next, happening.]

The only reason I know the needle snapped off is because it was sticking out of my right upper eyelid, in my eyelash line. So I stumble around wondering if I lost my eye when I stub my toes on the peddle and washing machine, quickly returning me to the moment at hand. Thus I remove the object from my flesh, and run to the bathroom like a little girl to asses the damage.

Upon close examination [lasting about 5 minutes] I see there is nothing wrong, just a few broken off eye lashes and a pin prick where the needle had lodged itself.

These things happen to me on a regular basis, my husband calls me 'The Walking Catastrophe.'

Just felt like sharing something funny....

    Holy Shit. You and my [wife-to-be] should ... hang out, but not. I don't think I could handle that much negative karma or whatever you two catastrophe's have in common. Lol.
    But you'd sure have a laugh doing so.

    She cooked for friends once and flipped some steak in the frying pan for like - fajitas, and the grease splashed up on her arm and now she has two permanent rain-drop shaped burns. Lol.
    She's cut herself on the wrist, like the side of it -- WITH HER OTHER THUMB NAIL. Deep enough to leave a 1" scar. Lol.

    She's crazy too. <3

    Yeah, like I said, catching a flying needle with your eyelid is some serious Martha Stewart Ninja Skills.

    It's not just you or Jeff's fiance, I wouldn't be surprised to see a dark cloud following me around some time soon with all the bad luck I have. Just walking from the living room to the kitchen I've managed to stub not one, but three toes [on two different feet mind you], trip on one of my cats, which in turn made me bump the table where the hubby's plate of food resided and send it crashing unto our upholstered chairs and half on to one of our other cats. Needless to say that had V shaking his head and laughing as the poor cat in question went running into the closed window on the porch half covered with spaghetti. >.>

    Some of us are just a walking safety hazard to those around us. Ha.
