I need some laughter to get me through this whole my-first-child-is-about-to-start-kindergarten anxiety that is living in my chest and wreaking havoc on my digestive system.
So. I want to hear about your Most Embarrassing Moments. If you’re like me and have too many to call a “MOST” just tell me one – any one.

I don’t know about everybody else, but I have three panty drawers, filled according to style. On the day in question, I chose black bikini briefs over thong, because I didn’t want the seam of my gray wool pants falling into my butt crack all day.
On my way to the car, I realized it was way too hot for wool pants, and ran back into the house to change. I chose the only skirt in my closet that I knew looked good with the shirt I already had on, and hurried to work, trying not to be late.
I went about my day – running all over the office, showing clients where to go, socializing. You know, things people do at work, especially when they love their job and their co-workers. At lunch, I was in the restroom washing my hands when I happened to glance at my reflection in the full length mirror to my left.
At that moment I was faced with a decision: continue to wear my black, full-butt panties under my light cream skirt, or take them off and have everyone in the office know I wasn’t wearing panties the whole rest of the day.
Because there is no way that even one person in that office hadn’t seen me showing off my panties. I couldn’t handle the idea of any of the older men I worked with knowing I was sans skivvies under my skirt, so I chose to keep them on, and try not to leave my desk. For four hours.
Lesson learned: Always check the rear view, even when you’re in a hurry.

Oh, so painful, so funny. I’ll give you another clothes related one. I put on one of my favorite outfits for work one day and I was feeling sleek and sexy and together on the subway. Sashayed into the office, chatted with people, had coffee. Restroom – sweater shirt is on inside out. HUGE tag at the neck. Couldn’t miss it. Sigh.
I’ll share my most recent. I passed gas while getting a massage. I was mortified.
I am seriously hesitating to push “submit comment” right now.
I can’t think of anything right off the top, but if I remember any, I promise I’ll come back and post. Just for you…
One day we were at my in-laws and for some reason I started talking -at length – about about my husbands weird deformed feet.
(Actually they are not that bad, he just has long toes. I was exaggerating a little for comedy value. I forgot this was his *family*).
My FIL sat quietly in the corner.
There was an awkward silence, then my MIL choked out:
“Those are his father’s feet”
Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I’ve nominated you for a bloggy award! Come on over to my blog to see what you’ve won!
It was a couple of weeks after I began back at work after maternity leave. Sitting at my desk at 4pm, stingy pony-tailed and droopy eyed, I discovered I was wearing my shirt backwards. And inside out. Since 8 that morning.
Men have less wardrobe malfunctions than women, but I may have taken the dog out to go to the bathroom a few nights ago in my PJ bottoms that – unbeknownst to me – were ripped all up the back. A few passing college girls gave me a weird look which I figured was just because it was an unusually breezy night. When I got inside…
Shortly after the birth of my oldest son, I was standing in line with him and my husband at the Walmart layaway counter. It was Christmas time, so there was a long line, and a LOT of people. I kept thinking I felt something on my foot, and it was annoying the crap out of me. Unfortunately, it probably took me ten minutes to realize I had milk, literally, shooting through my dark blue shirt, hitting my feet as I stood there. I ran out of the store, and can still feel that embarrassment to this day!
