Like so many exclamation words and/or acronyms this one is used so frequently as to lose any real power. Then every once in a while a situation comes along that merits it. I had such a situation this evening.
First off I must tell you that I could easily get away without telling this embarrassing story as no one witnessed it, but somehow I simply could not deny you the pleasure of having a laugh at my expense....my wife at least is gonna say "OH MY GOD!"
Here I am sitting in the RV in Welland Ontario, preparing for my big Triathlon weekend. I have a great parking spot right by the race site and I'm just getting everything organized and ready, such that I can kick the behinds of Old John and Grampa Brett tomorrow.
I've assembled my bike and checked out the transition area and just before packing it in I decide to move the RV over about 3 feet because I didn't quite like the way it was sitting. I think I have it just right and so I kill the ignition and step outside to confirm.
What sight hits me as soon as I open the door?
My brand new freaking bike laying on the grass! Someone tried to steal it just in the minute I was inside!!
No wait! Why would they have only gone about 5 feet and then dropped it if they had the courage to give it a shot in the first place?
And then the realization hit me!!
"OH MY GOD!"
No one was trying to steal it......
I had leaned my bike against the side of the RV and somehow forgot it was there when I went inside to move the thing over!!
Fortunately I was parked right at the edge of the lot such that the bike fell on the grass.
Fortunately I was moving 3 feet away from the side it was leaning against.
"OMG"
(no workout)

ReplyDeleteOMG is right! I cannot stop laughing out loud. LIsten up, this NEW bike has been living in the bedroom since purchased, with specific blankets covering it at night. Started laughing out loud again....Roo, get control!
ReplyDeleteOkay, back to my response! The fact that he left it exposed, and forgot about it, and the endless POSSIBILITIES of what could of happened to it, makes me laugh so hard, i am crying.
