Hello, Goodbye

Well, I’ve entered the blogosphere. This is actually the first blog that I’ve started, so I have high hopes of it being awesome and something that I enjoy writing (and that you enjoy reading). But it probably won’t be interesting and this could be my final post. That was a little Puddleglum for all of you who know what that means.

BUT I actually do have a story to share. Today I was run over by a man in a wheelchair. Okay, not really. But pretty close. I was standing in line at the grocery store after work, swiping my debit card, when BAM! Out of nowhere I am completely blind-sided by a 45-ish year old man in a motorized shopping cart. I went flying, and it actually did hurt the entire left side of my body, but somehow I didn’t hit the floor. Everyone was staring and it was kind of a noticeable incident. The crazy part was that I spun to my left to see exactly who had just plowed into me- and with what- and I see this guy sitting there, glaring at me. He doesn’t say a word, and puts the case of beer he’s buying up on the counter. The manager came over and asked if I was okay, and so did the cashier and a few other people, and of course I assured them all that I was fine. And the whole time this guy keeps glaring at me silently, showing no remorse whatsoever, and I began wondering if perhaps he was wishing that he had hit me a little harder, so that maybe my legs were torn off and I wouldn’t be able to walk, either. I got my receipt and bags, flashed him a smile, and went out to my car. And now the story gets crazier. As I’m taking my cart back up to the curb from the parking lot- I see him come outside and a car pull up for him. A guy gets out and hands him crutches and- miraculously- he stands up and puts his bags in the trunk and hobbles into the passenger seat. Once I knew that he COULD walk, I thought about running over and knocking him down. Or at least stealing his crutches and throwing them on the other side of the parking lot and daring him to ‘catch me if you can!’ But I didn’t.

Anyway, funny story right?

Well, thanks for reading my little post. I’m not one of those people that will write once a month or so. I’m either in for the long haul, or not at all. So, like I said earlier, we’ll see what happens. I make no promises! Thanks for reading my first, and maybe last, post.
