Major Misstep

7230_blackberry_hand

My good friends decided to set me up with guy who sounded great. So we made plans to go to dinner with our mutual friends, a couple, on a Friday night. I got all dressed, was looking good and headed out to my parking garage. With my BlackBerry in hand and purse in the other I started walking down the staircase when all of a sudden I missed a step and went flying. I landed on my left arm and immediately knew I was not okay. After a few minutes I was able to get up, but ended up driving myself straight to the emergency room instead of to dinner. Sure enough, I had broken my arm. My date was sweet enough to visit me in the hospital that night, along with my friends, but this was not the way I had envisioned our first date going. I had to have surgery since there were bone fragments that needed to be removed and the whole recovery took a couple of months. Now I always hold the hand rail.

Eh, so what. That’s what you get for trying to walk down the stairs and fool with your stupid Blackberry at the same time. I mean is the BB so precious that you can’t just put it in your purse? Or are you one of those people who thinks it looks cool to walk around clutching a BB? And what is so freaking important in your life that you have to take your BB along with you on a date? If I’d been your date and you’d whipped that thing out even once during the evening it would have been Buh-BYE for you. Silly git.
