Once I was in my boss's office,discussing a project my department was working on. I was nervously touching the bottom hem of my shirt ... when I realized by the shape of the hem that I had my shirt on inside out! Another time, I had on jeans and I just happened to touch my leg in the course of leaning across my desk. Wow, there was a giant lump on my knee! I immediately thought of bug bites, tumors, cancer ... all the horrible things that a strange lump could mean! ... but it turned out to be a balled-up sock that had stuck to the inside of my jeans in the dryer!

i answered the phone while getting ready for a job interview. i was in the middle of changing earrings when i took the call. i even said to myself, "don't forget to finish changing earrings!" i finish getting ready, put my hair up in a french twist style, and go to the interview, where i have to meet with other preschool teachers and a minister and a parent board. they were all very nice to me, impressed with my resume, but very non-committal. when i got in the car to leave, i caught myself in the rearview mirror and i had on one diamond stud and one french wire with a little naked troll with green hair!

I was at work one day and I needed to take some papers and bank statements to our CPA. I threw them all in a beer flat and I threw the bank deposit bag on top of them. I went out to my car which was parked at the side of the building. I put the beer flat on top of the car while I unlocked the door, then I jumped in the car. I was in a hurry because I wanted to run through McDonald's before they stopped serving breakfast. I went through McDonald's and had to wait in a long line, but I got my sausage egg mcmuffin and I was a happy little camper. I drove to the CPA and when I got there, I looked over on the seat to get the papers. ACK ACK ACK! I jumped out of my car and looked on the roof, of course, the beer flat wasn't there. I drove back to McDonald's and slowly retraced my route, crying and sobbing, wiping away tears so I could search the side of the road. There was over $1000 in the deposit bag. It would take me forever to pay it back. By the time I got back to the store, I was just a basketcase and there on the side of the building sat the beer flat. I dared not hope the money bag with all the money in it was still there as this was over a half-hour later, but it was!!! It must have just slid off the roof, down the back of my trunk and ricochetted off the spoiler fin and landed perfectly beside the building all in a few seconds time. I don't think I ever told Kady about this.

well, i think the nude troll didn't help with the minister and all...it was a preschool at a church and i never got a call-back! mainly later i was upset because i loaned them a few of my college books on designing preschool spaces, etc., at the interview, and i never got them back. the minister moved shortly afterward, and no one knew anything about my books.

I park my car in the garage and for the past couple of days I have been smelling gas when I get out of the car. Yesterday, when I started the car to go to work, I noticed that one of the indicator lights was on. I got out my manual and it said if that light was on, there was an engine malfunction. I drove straight to the dealer, scared all the way that I was going to break down. It's about 15-20 miles away and I was just praying I would make it there without a problem. When I got to the dealer and showed them the indicator light, the first thing they did was check to see if my gas cap was tightened all the way. Well, it turned out that when I filled up on Sunday, I never even put the cap back on, I just closed the lid and drove off. As soon as I put the gas cap back on the light went off. I felt really stupid but the dealership told me people do this all the time.

Oh my Goodness, where do I start?!? I guess we'll start with the time I was flying to Argentina. I was so happy because we were able to get a seat towards the front of the plane just behind first class, in the emergency aisle. I had to go to the restroom and was waiting until the one nearest me was available. Well, it was taking a bit longer than I wanted to wait so I headed to the back of the plane. Having done my business, I headed back to my seat. I imagined I heard people snickering behind me as I made my way back up the aisle. When I finally got back to my seat my Mother gasps and starts yanking on the back of my dress which was neatly tucked into the back of my pantyhose.

When I was about 7 years old I went to the supermarket with my Mom. While we were in the frozen food section, I thought it would be a good idea to bend over into the bin freezer and lick the ice that forms on the side. Like I said I thought it would be a good idea. Turns out I was wrong. My tongue got stuck on the ice and they couldn't get me unstuck. So, they called the Fire Dept. (Can you imagine?!?) I was so embarrassed and I didn't want to make any more of a spectacle of myself (too late) so I took matters into my own hands and yanked myself off the ice. OUCH! I left most of the top layer of my tongue on the ice so, of course when I saw that and all the blood, I started screaming my little head off. <<Good thing I didn't want to make a spectacle of myself, huh?>> The Firefighters showed up and they, along with my Mom, managed to calm me down. They even gave me a little stuffed Dalmation and let me get in the truck. My Dad still has the newspaper clipping.

i had just gotten out of my friend's car and she was busy yelling last minute things out the window and driving while not looking and never moved away from being next to the sidewalk and smashed right into a cop car, which was parked parallel on the street. i started laughing so hard, my friend didn't talk to me for weeks. this girl was always a horrid driver. she is probably the legend behind the 'if you don't like my driving, stay off the sidewalk' bumper sticker. every time she took a corner, she "took a corner". we always went over the curb. anyway, 4 years later, she marries the cop. he had more to drink than he did, so she was going to drive to the hotel for their first night; they were going to hawaii the next afternoon. and as she exits the parking lot, she clips a car and also goes off the curb, rather than out the driveway. later, we gave her a sign, made up like a record album cover..."the My Curb congregation"!

okay... here's ONE of my embarassing stories. i was 8 1/2 month pregnant with my dd-Holly and my husband went to work one morning very early. we used to sleep in a waterbed with high wooden sides. well i had to get up that morning to do my "business". and i couldn't get out of bed. i did have the phone on the nightstand next to the bed, so i called dh (he was out of town in SF for the day). well the doors were all locked, so calling a friend was out of the question. i tried calling our manager who had a spare key. not home. finally i thought i was gonna burst. i had no other option... i called the fire department. they had to bust down the front door to come to the bedroom to rescue me from my bed. needless to say, i slept on the couch for the rest of the pregnancy cuz i could roll out! afternote: i made the front page of the local newspaper "firemen rescue pregnant lady" ... GAWD!

landi, we had a water bed, too and i had to try and roll onto my hands and knees and crawl to the edge of the bed to get out! one early morning a week before i went into labor, i went outside to put something in the trash can in the back yard. i was wearing only a nightie and it was pouring rain. ds, who was 2, locked the door from the kitchen to the outside. the sliding glass door was closed and locked, as were all the windows. it was the tail end of november. i asked my son to slide the lock (which i always had trouble with and i wasn't 2!) he tried, then said, "it's too hard. can you help?!" he would try again and then wander off and watch t.v. every few minutes, he would come back and look out the kitchen window and i would say, "kyle, honey, move the lock for mommy." and he would struggle for a short time and say, "it's too hard. can you help?!" we had padlocks in our side gates. we didn't have a side garage door. we had 6 foot fences. i looked at the bbq tools hanging from the weber and prayed i wouldn't be the next day's headlines: "woman performs own c-section with bbq fork". it was only 7:00 a.m. and hubby wouldn't be home for hours--he probably hadn't even arrived at his job yet! a neighbor had a key, but i couldn't climb the fence! plus, my nightie was totally soaked and sticking to my huge belly. i might as well have been buck. neighbors on both sides and behind us all worked and no one was around for me to even shout to. i was thinking i was finally going to just have to break the window on the door...it was probably a full hour later, when my son worked his hardest, by pulling a chair over and standing on it. it made him more level with the lock and he could finally slide it open, albeit with much difficulty. when i came inside, ds had made himself some instant oatmeal in the 'bing crosby' (i guess one time when it 'binged', i said "crosby" afterward, and ds called the microwave that for years). he used roughly 2 gallons of water and all the packets of oatmeal, then just pushed all the buttons. it actually came out okay. it came out the door, it came out on the floor, it came out of the bowl.... then he said something which made me laugh. "is this one of dose things you say we will laugh ober when we get big?" glad to know he thought i was a little kid, too.

I dropped part of the coupler for the portable dishwasher down the kitchen sink drain. I very industriously and competently got a bucket to catch the water that would come out when I removed the U joint. Then I put my head under the sink, reached around and emptied the bucket in the sink. Down the drain. On my head. Found the iron in the refrigerator. Thought a minute, then went directly to the linen closet and found the milk. Both of these happened many years ago, long before my brain began turning into cottage cheese. Scary.

one time a little guy's father drove him to preschool. they had a brand new baby, and dad had brought him, too. i guess he didn't want to leave the baby in the car while bringing his son in-- even though he was parked 5 feet from the door, inside a gated area, and one of the teachers was always at the door to receive the kids--so he took the baby out of his carseat and wrapped him carefully in a large blanket on the front seat to keep him from the cold. then he got the preschooler out of his carseat and picked up the baby and walked preschooler in. dad decides to hang out for a few minutes. when several of the mothers asked if they could peek at the baby, dad proudly lifted the blanket and showed us......... baby's little feet! he had been holding him with the feet cradled and the head tilted down. one mother quipped 'twins' when she saw the matching feet. dad blushed and quickly righted the baby and showed us the cute little face.

I bought a bottle of "Sun In"....for that just so perfect bleached blonde look the summer I was 17. On a very hot summer day, my friend and I EACH sprayed a whole bottle on to our hair, and then just before sitting in the sun for the afternoon, blew dry our tresses, just because we wanted to make sure it took! AND it took. The only ingredient on the bottle other than bleach, was perfume, but who read labels at 17. I still have my school pictures from that year under lock and key.

a friend told some of us on another board that she went out for cigarettes one night and just threw on some old jeans and a sweatshirt. when she was walking out of the store, the cashier said, 'honey, there's something hanging out of your pant leg' and it was a pair of panties, dragging along on the ground behind her. and that reminds me of trying to win 100 bucks from a radio station. i had to put on a sheet and chase down cars and carry my cordless phone with me so the radio station really knew i had done what i was supposed to. i had to get someone to stop and get on my phone and say that, yes, i was dressed in a sheet running down the street. well, i won that one, and the lady was a real estate agent with a prospective home-buyer in her car! then the dj really laughed when he called back to get my info for the prize and asked what i was 'doing now'. i told him, "the second oldest profession in the world--washing the sheets!" okay, so that was halloween. in april or may, they held the 'undie 500'. you had to drive around with undies on your head and get someone to stop and get on your cell phone to say you really had underwear on your head. so i'm driving around trying to call the station while looking for someone to accost...fortunately, while i'm explaining to the cop about the contest, the dj came on the radio right then with a winner of the 'undie 500'. i didn't win, but i didn't get arrested! (i had to laugh when the dj asked the person about the underwear on the other person's head. he asked what color the undies were and the person said, "yellow". i was wondering if they were a pastel yellow, or urine-stained! at least mine were clean when they went on my head!) about a week after i got stopped with panties on my head, the officer brought someone into the e.r. where i was working. he kept telling me i looked familiar, but something wasn't 'right about the hair' hopefully, he never remembered where he had seen me before!
