There are some things I had only seen in movies and then a couple of years ago …
I guess it was time to bring a little movie comedy into real life. This is why America’s Funniest Home Videos has done so well.

Shoe laces: I went outside to get the mail wearing tennis shoes/sneakers with the laces untied. I can’t count the number of times I’ve done this. I came in the door, with the screen closing behind me and bam! The shoe laces caught in the screen door and I went down face first.

Luckily my arms hit the ground before my face so I wasn’t hurt. I laid there and laughed at what that must’ve looked like. I couldn’t believe it really happened.

Treadmill: My mom wanted a treadmill. I was so happy that she was willing to exercise that I found one and went and got it within 18 hours.

The treadmill was pretty big. It was actually seemed much larger taking it out of my Jeep than having help putting it in. …duh…

The walkway to the front door has a sharp angle/turn because it begins at the driveway and has to angle to the end up at the front door. The treadmill was about 4-6 inches narrower than the sidewalk which is only about 2-3 inches extra on each side.

The treadmill has small wheels on one side and it folds up pretty well. I found that I could bungee it together (to stay folded securely) and walk backwards, pulling it and it could roll pretty easily. Easy as pie right? I’ve never made a pie, hmmm.

As I was rounding the turn in the sidewalk, I miss calculated. I turned just fine but the treadmill, not so much. A wheel went off the side and down it came. In a moment, I was laying on my back on the sidewalk with a treadmill laying on top of me. Again, thankfully I was not hurt. I laughed so long and so hard that I had to gain my composure to get it off of me so I could stand up.
