About This Author
I am a 40 year old married mother of two teenage boys. I live for writing, especially romance. Love the happily ever after scenerio. The best thing about writing for me is the ability to lose yourself in your work, and feel as if you've accomplished something great. At the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

Lucy's
Prompt: Tell us about a time that you failed hilariously at something.
Well I definitely wouldn't call it hilarious, but all of my friends who were there still bring it up to this day and laugh their asses off.
So it was my 22nd birthday, and I was meeting my friends at a bar called Lucy's. I'd never been there before, but hey, it was my birthday, so we had to take advantage of that. I got all dressed up, was excited and ready to get smashed. 
I got there early with my date. Another couple had arrived when we did. So me and my girlfriend hit the dance floor while the guys were talking at the tables. That's when Pegster and few others showed up. They start screaming "T", and singing. I turn around and start running from the middle of the dance floor to them. All excited seeing the balloons and knowing we were going to have so much that night. Did I mention that to get to the dance floor it requires a step down? Yep.
Picture the scene. Me all decked out for my date, running like an idiot, both feet hit the edge and I went smack down onto the ground. I didn't even manage to get my hands out to brace myself. I pushed up and my friends, who I thought were going to save my ass and at least help me up were laughing hysterically. I started laughing, so embarrassed, praying my date missed all of it. Finally, I'm up on my feet, they are still cracking up saying it looked like I was swimming on the ground.  Bitches! Mind you I hadn't even had one drink at that point!
30 minutes later Pegster and I are in the bathroom, and I hear two girls talking.
"Did you see that girl fall?"
"Oh God I'd be so embarrassed."
"That was me. And I am. And damn if I didn't ruin my new, cool fishnet stockings!"
The night went on. The next morning I could hardly get out of bed. When I went to the bathroom to see why, I had bruises everywhere. Arms, hips, thigh, ankle, chest.
Never run to greet your friends. Walk people! You'll thank me for this later.
