Embarassing moments...



I have had my share, maybe more. One time Bob and I each thought the other one had driven the car home--but neither of us did. We got up the next morning to find we were short exactly one car! We called the cops before we realized we had left it at the election night party the night before. All I could do was stand there with my mouth open and say, "Part-y..." The deputy just looked at us like we were both nuts. I'm sure he wondered what kind of party we had been to!

One time I thought I was early for my plane and I wasn't. I knew there was a plane loading at my gate, I just thought mine was the next plane. Yep, I sat there and watched it take off. THEN I checked the time on the ticket. It was fun trying to explain to the gate agent--who had already seen me sitting at the gate--why I missed my plane. I blame the pain pills for that one--I had just had surgery and was still popping Percocet every few hours.
****
My most recent humiliation was when I joined facebook the other day. I clicked OK and wasn't sure it worked so I clicked it again. AND that made facebook send a friend request to EVERYONE in my gmail account. AND gmail cabbages onto every single email address you ever use. Uh-huh--everyone I have ever emailed, including my the folks I have done business with on eBay and craigslist got an invitation to be my friend! I'm sure they think I must be lonely.
So, if you didn't get an invitation to be my friend--it is certainly not because I was being selective! If you got one and was aggravated by it, my apologies for that, too. For those who have accepted the invitation, I love keeping in touch with friends--thanks for letting me be yours.
Have a blessed, restful Sabbath everyone!

If it makes you feel any better, I accidentally slipped outside Walmart and did an old lady version of the splits! I was still holding onto the shopping cart so I looked like some kind of crazed elderly gymnast!

That last embarrassing moment struck home. This summer I thought I had sent (by mistake) an invitation to everybody to join my instant message so I sent an apology to the whole list (business & friends) only to discover that it hadn't sent an invitation to them all and I'm not sure who was mre confused my email list or me.

Those are SO hilarious!

One year at Independence Camp, Uncle Steve had on the same shirt as Keith and I came up behind him and patted his "behind" :( (That was right after he had lost a lot of weight and I hadn't seen him in a while) UGH!!!

Makes for a good laugh now! :)

lol, what a story. I've heard about leaving a child at church or leaving groceries at the store...after they were paid for. But I don't think I've ever heard of leaving a car. Good one Shar:) Glad I'm not the only one who has those moments.
