OWWWWW!!!
Just needed to share what a dolt I am.
DH and I are on the couch, joking around, and I somehow manage to bang my head on the table next to the couch. On the sharp edge. On my right temple. Oy, what a headache I now have, on top of the sinus infection....
Anyone else have any stupid "ows" to share?

They're not as recent, but I have two that happened a month before and a couple weeks after the wedding.
1st (BW) I was organizing some stuff from the spare room and had a bunch of papers spread out on the kitchen table. DH made himself something to eat before his softball game and was going to set his plate down on my papers. I went to move the papers, he went to set the plate down, and my hand met the knife that I didn't see in his hand. Not just a table knife mind you - the six inch fancy Calphalon knife we got for the shower. He had to take me to the ER, and I got two stiches and a tetanus shot.
2nd (AW) DH and I were joking around on the bed, and I threw my hand back, and hit the ceiling fan, which took a chunk out of my other hand.
I still have the "battle scars"! Hope your head feels better soon!
btw - I love the word dolt - my HS theater director used it all the time!
The previous owners left a "beautiful" fiberboard bed circa 1982 for us to deal with. We tried to donate it, and then DH knocked the headboard over and broke it. I bumped into the broken pieces and dropped the biggest piece and the only piece with actual wood, on my leg, from about 3 feet off the ground. GIANT bruise. The next day, I walked full force into the trash can in my office an added a second bruise to that leg. The next day- I have a physical!! Lovely, I have half a dozen bruises on my leg.
Oh- I had a wedding one, too. I must have bumped into something at somepoint in the 24 hours before the wedding, b/c I had a giant bruise on my upper arm! I don't remember doing it, but it got bigger and bigger throughout the day, and you can see it in quite a few of the pictures.
My worst week at work as a grad student involved getting bit by a rat, poking myself with a needle (luckily I hadn't stuck it in anything yet) and then cutting my forefinger to the bone with a fresh scalpel blade (all on the same hand, too). I was doing a timed study, and had to recruit other people to do my work for me for 2-3 hours while I went to the ER for stitches. I am a total klutz!!
Interestingly enough...as I was getting on the computer to read this, I stole my desk chair back from DH, sat on it wrong but didn't fall off, then in the process of trying to correct myself (and feeling pretty good that I hadn't actually fallen off) I slammed my knee HARD into the leg of my computer desk. It hurt so bad I felt nauseous.
Looking forward to an AWESOME bruise tomorrow!
my read shelf:
I teach colorguard, I am always covered in bruises from teaching tiny scared freshmen how to toss flags and rifles.
My worst stupid "ow" was probably from when I was in HS, we were going over a section of our guard show, and my instructor wanted me to demonstrate something, so I did and mid-toss she started talking so I started listening, forgot I had just tossed my flag and clocked myself in the temple and blacked out for about 10 seconds. I didn't know I had blacked out until I came to on the floor. I didn't get a concussion, but had a cool bump.
I've also broken toes with rifles and sabres and once the day after I broke a pinky toe, a girl slid into it during a softball game. That was fun, too.
So last night I was washing some sheets I bought to cover our guest room box spring (ugly striped thing, and that was the first thing I noticed every time I walked past the door), new shams for the guest room, towels, etc... and the dryer was taking forever b/c of the towels.
All of a sudden it was after midnight... and the dryer was still on. I was tired, but still folded everything. then managed to shut the dryer door ON MY FINGER. I knew it wasn't broken, but it killed!! I was then putting the sheets on the box spring.. and thought, hmm, why are there red spots on these sheets? I looked down and my pinky finger was bleeding!! I knew the one side was bruised, but I had also cut the direct opposite side!!
I need more sleep
