I'm petite. 5 feet tall (er, short?).
Let's be honest, there's no real way I could defend myself (even though I am versed in the ways of the kickboxing).
So, when I end up with a burn on my hand (skillet potatoes) and gnarly scratch (trying to break up fight between Lizzie Kitty and Ella Mae--um, I lost that battle) and multiple Band Aids on my fingers (cheese grater--always the damn cheese grater!) it's all sorts of awkward explaining that "no, I'm just that much of a klutz".
To which anyone who knows me will agree (ask my intern--it's daily that I walk into her desk and or the wall).
But, today, thanks to the addition of the cheese grater, I look pathetic.
Awesome.
But, I did run 5 miles before work at the gym today (since I am banned from outdoor pre dawn workouts).

Bless your heart!! I'm the exact same way! The only difference is that I'm clumsy and tall, which just means that I have a harder time controlling my long limbs! :)
good job on the running!
oh my... dont worry I always spill things on me, does that count?! hahah xxooo
I think Klutzy is my middle name. Mysterious brusies - check.
Assorted spills - check.
Walk & chew gum - no check.
Like Lauren, I am tall, too. So I don't think it's a height issue. I think it's a quirky issue! Quirky girls (like us) are just cool and clumsy!
I hear ya. Two times in a row at the gym while I was waiting for Zumba to start...I walked into the same bench and I have two huge bruises on my legs. Hello...I hurt myself BEFORE class?? Loser...
Huge Klutz here. At any given time I am bruised and/or scratched. Right now I'm sporting festive wrist-scratches from my cat's vet visit, so I look nothing if not suicidal. Just the look I was going for!
Nice work on the morning run!
Oh no! I'm super kultzy too. I always undersestimate where door frames and walls are and run in to them. Plus, I am wearing shoes today I don't wear often because I always fall in them. It has happened twice already! You would think I would learn my lesson :)
Oh no, you are kind of a mess today, huh? That stuff always happens to me!!!
Congrats on the awesome job you are doing with running!
i think we need to wrap you in bubble wrap!
Nice job on running! I have been so busy, my workouts are getting fewer and fewer.
5 miles is awesome!!!!
omg my friend.... you are rough on yourself... i always do clumsy thngs like this too!!
Yeah for being sorority sisters and yeah for running five miles!
you crack me up! i'm sorry for the injuries=) hubby says i run into things all the time, i deny it=)! awesome job on the running!
Well, the run just cancels all the weak stuff and makes you my hero of course! Boy am I looking forward to getting some muscle back!
I just found your blog, but you won me over. I am short and clumsy as well. I rip the skin off of my toes at least once a week tripping UP the stairs. I feel your pain.
LOL. I have issues with the dreaded cheese grater as well. Hope you heal quickly.
Ouchhhh! WTG on the running you rock star!
