Adventures in Zoobieland...

...have been rather non-existent lately.

About the only good story I have is from yesterday. Yesterday, I put together a pretty nice outfit. At least, I felt very sophisticated in it. At first when I put it on, it didn't quite feel like me. But I liked it, so I wore it. The more I wore it, the more "me" I felt in it.
To top off my outfit, I decided to wear my new black flats that I bought just before coming out to school. I love those shoes, but boy are they loud.
As I walked, I made a TON of noise. I figured that if I was going to be making that much noise, I ought to look like I know how to wear my outfit. So, I stood a little straighter as I walked, and tried to exude confidence. Admittedly, I felt a little silly, but I was determined to make this outfit my own. I felt a little like I was playing dress-up.
All went well during the school day. I really was feeling comfortable in my clothes. And let's be honest, "on the outside, I looked good."
But you know what they say... what goes up, must come down.
And down I went! My shoes are a tad slick... And as I was heading home, I lost my footing, and fell backwards. I caught myself, and almost as quickly as I was down, I was right back up. But the damage was done. My ego was punctured, my pride was bruised, and my confidence was a little shaken. (Not stirred.) :)

So why did you dress up, and where was the video camera? You could've won us $100,000.00!! I am glad you are okay though.
