graceful I'm not

I've never been accused of being graceful. Swan-like I'm not.  Although I'm not sure how graceful swans actually are, at least on land.  They waddle, but that's beside the point.  As I was rushing into Kroger's on my way home from work today (oooh, only 5 more days to say that) I slipped on a patch of ice and landed less that gracefully on my bottom on the sidewalk. Luckily, I was wearing a heavy coat and nothing was hurt but my dignity.  A man driving out of the parking lot did slow down to ask if I was ok.  Other than that I don't think anyone else even saw what happened, which was just fine with me. Although, on the other hand, I may have missed my chance for a really good law suit.  Maybe it's too bad that I didn't have a larger audience...
