Mahalo for the cig and pepsi, brah!

Since yesterday I have been trying to think of a topic that I could write about today. As I sit here typing this I am still in the dark. So I guess it will be a surprise for ALL of us!

After much careful deliberation, I have decided to give in and do a "most embarrassing moments" entry. And let me tell you. I am NOT holding back. Remember- in unison now- HONESTY! I've had so many horrible, embarrassing moments that it was hard to pick the best ones.... then again, they are QUITE embarrassing and I had to really decide if I was brave enough to share them. Meh, why not! So here goes.

The first story is from when I was younger. And when I say younger I mean like when I was 4 or 5. We were getting ready to go to my grandpa's house and I was anxious to get going. It was in the winter time so I went and put on my snow pants, fluffy winter jacket, boots, hat, and mittens. When my mom STILL wasn't ready and downstairs, I went up to yell at her to hurry up (yes, I was a diva even at the age of 4!). So I climbed the two flights of stairs all decked out in my winter gear. When I got to the top I was telling my mom to hurry up because I wanted to get going to grandpa's house! Well, as I was turning to go back down, I stepped wrong and began tumbling down the stairs. You would think that I would stop falling after the first flight and stop on the landing. Nope. you would be wrong. I CONTINUED to fall down the second flight and landed at the bottom. The best part was that I wasn't hurt at all because of all the layers I had on. I was adequately padded so I was uninjured. Yeah. Pretty awesome.

My next story, again, takes place when I was 3. This one is more embarrassing for my mom, but just proves that I have ALWAYS been awesome! My mom had taken me to the grocery store and I was sitting on the seat in a cart. I was being, well, a brat and my mom was not gonna take it. So she went and pushed the cart down an isle that no one else was in and stood me up to give me a swat on the behind. Before she could get the swat in, I yelled at the top of my lungs "QUIT HITTIN' ME MOM!". She stopped in her tracks and noticed that all of a sudden she was standing in the busiest isle in the store. Needless to say, we left immediately. I love this story because it shows you that I was AWESOMELY FUNNY at the age of 3! I'm sure my kids will return the favor.

Let's jump around a bit. This story takes place about 2 years ago. I was walking to class on campus from my building and was walking through the circular turn-around near the CDC and St. Mary's. It was early spring, so there was snow that was melting which made the ground wet and slippery. In addition, the dampness makes the yellow paint on the street and curbs verrrrrrry slippery. I didn't know this at the time. So I was stepping off of the curb and slipped. I began falling forward. Now, for MOST people, when they fall they will instinctively throw out their arms and hands to brace themselves. For some unexplainable reason, I did not. I basically just fell like a tree in the middle of the forest! Oh but when I was about 2 inches from the ground, my hands made a pathetic attempt to break the fall. Didn't work. I wasn't seriously injured and nothing happened to my face so we are all good!! ;-)

Let's go back down memory lane. This story is a general story that, unfortunately, happened on more than one occasion. So when I was younger (under 11) and lived in our old house my dog, Lucy, would escape from our yard. Now the thing is, once she had crawled under our fence and was "free", she would forget her name and would run in the opposite direction from you. So my mom would always say that if she got loose that she was gone for good. Well, she got out. And I was hysterical! So my dad did what he ALWAYS did when she got out. He grabbed her green tin filled with treats and went running after her. I was so hysterical that I began chasing my dad. So there we were. Lucy would stop and let dad catch up to her, but before he was close enough to grab her she would take off running. So Lucy was running around free as a bird. My dad was running after her, shaking the tin of treats yelling "TREAT!!" at the top of his lungs. And I was chasing him, crying hysterically yelling "CATCH HER DADDY!!!". It was something straight out of a cartoon! Looking back on it now, the neighbors must have thought we were INSANE! Well, that's life.

Have you had enough yet? Have I completely lost all my dignity in your eyes yet? Well I have more.... and this next one is pretty embarrassing. I debated on whether or not I wanted to include it... but then I remembered that this is a safe place.....I hope... So this took place in high school. I was waiting for the city bus to come so that I could go home. It was one of those long days where all you want to do is get home, kick off your shoes, and sit. Well I was waiting and waiting and I really had to... well... pee. I didn't want to walk all the way back to school (lazy, I know) just to go to the bathroom and miss the bus in the process so I decided to just hold it. Yeah... ummmmmm... this was not the best decision I have ever made. You see, the bus was very late that day and I had to go... I mean I REALLY had to go. So as I was standing there waiting for the bus....... *sigh*... I peed my pants a little. It wasn't that bad, but yeah, I still peed my pants. So there I was, on the bus. Ugh. I felt like a dirty hobo. I learned my lesson that time. AND! For the record- I have NOT peed my pants since then!! I know, I know.... horribly embarrassing but it's stories like these that make life funny. Hope you got a kick out of this story. I will never be able to look anyone in the eyes ever again.... all for your entertainment. YOU'RE WELCOME!!!!!

I don't think I can follow that with anything better. I can try, but that is probably the best story. I do have one more story to share from my past. I was in kindergarten or 1st grade and was riding the bus home (something about buses and coming home! Idk....). I was sitting alone in a seat and was sitting closer to the window. As most people know, I enjoy the movie "Grease" and have known every song since age 2. Well, on this particular day, I must have been feeling a little melancholy and was singing the song "Hopelessly Devoted to You". It was loud on that bus and I assumed that no one could hear me. Well, you know what they say- "when you assume you make an ass outta U and Me". Any who, I was singing. All of a sudden I felt a tap on my shoulder. The girl who tapped me looked at me and said "Umm... could you stop singing. We can hear you". I felt my face light on fire and turn bright read. I think this is why I would never become a famous singer. I am forced to resort to singing loudly in cars and the shower. But I don't sing on buses..... anymore at least.

So there you have it. My top embarrassing moments. I hope you have laughed at my misfortunes! Now I can look back and laugh with you! As always, thanks for reading! <3
