Has this ever happened to you?...

Embarrassing moments-

We've all had them at one time or another, but no one likes to talk about it (not really anyway).

Well, just in the last few short weeks (we'll say end of March time frame), I had some mishaps that can only be concluded as the silliest and most ridiculous things... had someone been taping me, I would've won that 10K on AFV by now ;)

Mishap #1- My best friend's little bro accidentally walked in on me in my own bathroom. It's not as bad as you're thinking, really. He just caught me putting lotion on my legs and ran out thinking (well, I don't know what he was thinking), but the poor boy turn red and all I could do was say hello and laugh at myself in this situation. I mean, c'mon, it was in MY house, LOL. I had the hardest time from not chuckling the rest of the night, but it's been quite a while since anyone walked in on me unknown to myself, and it was just too funny not to tell.

Mishap #2 - while running an errand at work I wasn't paying attention to where I was stepping (actually, this happens a lot, hm...). Anyway, I wasn't watching where I was stepping, and while trying to say hello to some friends, and walking past a group of guy friends too (two different groups, same location), I trip over the edge of a concrete sidewalk (guess there was less dirt at the edge than I thought). As you may have guessed, I started going down, getting ready to eat concrete with my chin. But it so happens my brain and senses kicked in at the last minute and I caught myself from total infliction of pain and shame. But at this point both my pride and ego were bruised, which was good, I really didn't need them anyway. Everyone was asking me if I was OK, and I just brushed it off like it happens all the time (actually, it really does happen more often then one would think, more hmming...). Yeah, it was embarrassing, but I got over it.

Occasional mishaps- I've pulled out drawers too quickly at work and banged myself in the knee (more times than I can count, which may account for all the bruises I have); I've tried looking "cute" or "cool" while passing a group of people (usually people I don't know), and I always manage to trip just enough to bruise my ego- Thanks God for keeping me humble.

In the last couple of days I've had a problem opening my bedroom door all the way. Maybe it's from the rack of purses hanging behind it and the large box full of books and animals waiting to be shipped out?... Nah... that couldn't be it! Anyway, because of that, I've had a tendency to bang my elbow more than once on the door handle either coming or going from the room, that's pretty embarrassing. It's also a painful reminder of all the stuff in my room that still needs to be packed and shipped to Cali. (Maybe that's why I'm in a bad mood, I'm thinking too much about the big picture of moving and not taking it "one box at a time").

I guess that's about all the embarrassing dirt I've had lately. So, do you think I deserve 10K for it? LOL ;)
