I broke the chair

I went with my friend, Rach, to a small adult ladies only gathering (you know...Pure Romance) with some of the girls she works with.  I was sitting on a rickety chair that did not seem  stable.  Quite suddenly, the seat came apart.  I did not fall, as I felt the seat come undone and the hostess insisted that it had done that MANY times.  

Still, not very good for the self-esteem on a weekend that I feel nothing but fat.
