When Bodies, Go-Karts, and Steel Beams Collide...

It comes as no shock to anyone that knows me that I am not exactly the most coordinated person on the face of the earth, far from it in fact!

On Thursday night, I was invited to go Go-Karting after work with the rest of the CFSs and trainers. Well, I was in the first group out and we started zipping around the course. The place is not exactly the nicest, the cars were kind of sketchy, and it was in the middle of nowhere. We did have a great time however, until the inevitable happened.... I had a Jessica moment.

While I was zipping around the track in my little car with the gas pedal that stuck and the brakes that didn't work when low and behold, poor Lara crashed into

the tires ahead of me and got stuck. I did not have time to go around her, and I did not want to hit her nor the poor guy that was helping her, so I chose to go for the tires. Unfortunately for me, I did not see the steel beam that the tire was around...

Needless to say I hit the steel beam head on, protected only by a very thin tire. I was going just about as fast as you could go on a go-kart. Seeing as you cannot wear seat belts on a Go-Kart, my butt slid forward in the seat and slammed, and I mean SLAMMED, against the steering column of the car.

Next day I had a lovely bruise by the afternoon. It seems to get worse as the days go by... enjoy the pics, they are nasty!!

And so it begins...

So... I am finally taking the plunge and starting off on my journey into the blogosphere. I have been following along with my friends as they document their trials and mostly comical tribulations and figured I might as well join in on the fun.

For those readers who are not lucky enough to know me (I kid!!), my name is Jessica and I am the married mother of one not so little fella. I work at a little company you may have heard of, Xerox, where I am Contract & Finance Specialist.

I am a self-proclaimed nerd, although I have been told I am "smart in school but stupid in the real world", whatever that means... I am an avid read and my iPodan> is loaded with more Musicals than anything else, although I do also have a thing for 70s folk... like I said... NERD.

My biggest obsession is with all things Disney. My husband and I are members of the Disney Vacation Club (DVC) and have been down to Walt Disney World several times since our first trip to the House of Mouse on our honeymoon in 1998. I get great joy from assisting friends, coworkers, and family members in the planning of their own Disney vacations. There is really nothing like it!!

Well that is pretty much it for my very first post. I am very proud of myself. Well, not really, but at least my page won't be naked...
