dignity, always dignity

I was feeling very confident on Sunday at church because I was wearing my favorite outfit, which always makes a person feel good. Anyway, I am walking down the hall to find someone when somehow I step wrong on my flip flop of all things and stumble forward a bit. Good thing there were a few good looking guys behind me. I laughed at myself, but I was still far too embarrassed to turn and go back down the hallway so I just kept going out the door and had to walk all the way back around the outside of the building, oh well, I need the exercise.

Not a phlebotomist

The Embarrassment Villain strikes again! I was having blood drawn a few days ago and I was feeling very proud of myself because she only poked me once and everything was flowing smoothly. I started talking to the girl about how she became a phlebotomist and she was explaining how long she had gone to school, etc. when i started to get that familiar queasy feeling. Next thing I knew I was awoken from a very pleasant dream to find myself lying on the floor. Yep, I had passed out and slipped right out of my chair and landed on the floor. I just sat on the floor in a daze while the assistant cleaned up a few drops of my blood that had fallen in the process and she couldn't but help make a very obvious observation, "I don't think phlebotomy is for you." I do believe I am inclined to agree.

Episode 1: Rouged knees

You know the old flapper expression "rouge your knees", well, I realized today that I had no need of rouge because I trip and fall enough to keep my knees nice and red on their own. In fact, it was my fall today that made me decide to start a blog dedicated solely to my embarrasing moments, there are a goodly number of them afterall. So to start us off, I was walking out to my car today and somehow misstepped while walking across the lawn and suddenly found my self on hands and knees, just as a car drove past, thank goodness they didn't stop and ask if I was alright! Next time I post I'll tell you about the "hugger" and my sad attempts to avoid her for the rest of that semester of school. Make sure you check for updates on this blog, you never know what embarrasing thing is going to happen to me next!
