I've Taken a Fall too Shania

Everyone's talking about Shania's fall last night at the CMT Awards. One facebooker even said she "makes even falling look beautiful". There's some truth to that, as it was the most graceful fall ever caught live on camera.

We've all had those moments. In the early 2000's I was leaving a Christmas party...ahem...banquet....slipped on some ice and biffed it good. I got up and polished myself off like nothing happened, wanting to seemingly still appear somewhat cool to all the those driving by in traffic. I was not as lucky as Shania though. By the time I got to the corner, my wrist was on fire and pretty much just hanging there. I ended up spending a lovely night with the good folks at the Regina General hospital waiting for a surgeon to come in and put me back together. Morphine and I were BFF's by the time that episode was done.

In hindsight, I too wish I had those shoes to auction off. I'm sure Steven Tyler would applaud Shania's get back up attitude. Good on you girl!
