Number 24: Ride a Mechanical Bull

You know, I've had whiplash since the September long weekend. I went tubing with The Boy's brother in law and we hit a few wakes pretty hard. When I got back on the boat, this is the conversation we had:

Me: I think I have whiplash!
Everyone: Hahahahahah
Me: no, guys.. I'm serious.
Everyone: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

So I tried to sleep it off for a week and three massage sessions and four weeks later (now a total of five weeks), I am still a little bit painful. Of course, riding on a mechanical bull tonight probably didn't help. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. MB and JP met up with me at the Crazy Horse bar in Kanata (eeps) and MB and I went for a little ride! She was so helpful - giving me the pep talks, giving me a light up red maple leaf cowboy hat and buying my ride! I was uber nervous but she went first and totally rocked it. Amazing! I have no hip action (my dance instructors will agree) so I pretty much gripped onto the bull with my inner thighs (and calves and even my toes) and hung on for dear life. And it didn't so much buck me off as I slid off. That thing is slippery. I was on for 37 seconds the first time and less than 30 the second. But at least the second time I held on with only one hand! Yay me!

Would I do it again?

Only if I had to.
