The other day I was feeling pale so I decided to go tanning. I get there and the nice, slightly overweight, teenie bopper employee get my info, figures out a bed for me, then, very genuinely compliments me on how white my teeth are. Now, it's something I've been insecure about because I haven't actually whitened my teeth in a while and I drink diet coke like my life depends on it. (OK I'm actually quite sure my life and those around me are in question when I don't get enough diet coke..) Dark sodas can stain your teeth, I'm not giving it up though! Back to the point here, she compliments my white teeth, we talk about it for a minute then I go to my room, and check out my "white teeth" in the mirror and what do i see?! A freaking piece of broccoli, staring me in the face from my bottom teeth. SHIT! How long has it been there? Clear since my veggie crepe for breakfast!? How many people have I talked to since then? I usually don't talk so big that I reveal my bottom teeth, but could she see it and was just trying to politely worn me? She's an employee at a tanning salon, does she have it in her to be that smooth?!
How many times have I tried to smooth out my appearance before going to public places? ALL THE TIME! Once I was walking into Target and I suddenly had the fear that my fly was down, so I sneakily check it, nope its up, but now my $1 "one-size fits all gloves" (you know, the kind that are knit and you have to stretch them way out to fit them on your hands) gets caught on the zipper! This is in the parking lot of Target! Yes, my glove finger was caught on my zipper, go ahead and laugh. Fortunately I panicked so I had enough strength to rip my glove off my pants.. Hopefully before anyone saw me!
Do embarrassing things like this happen to everyone? Or is it just me?

Well let's see, I fell once while walking down the street in downtown Buffalo. I once ran up to an older gentleman screaming "Grandpa" cause I thought it was my grandpa and it wasn't. I once was trying on a dress and couldn't get it off and had to walk out and ask the saleswoman for help. Just a few of my most embarassing moments...
Thank you for making my day! Those stories are great. They sound like things I would do. My most recent embarrassing moment was yesterday when Martha told me to call a number and while the phone was ringing she told me to tell whoever it was, "Your mom is very busy right now, do you need to talk to her right away?" This guy answers the phone and I tell him my message. His reply was "My mom lives in California." I'm sure he thought I was crazy. It would have helped to know who I was trying to call...
I was in a movie theatre once and watching that movie with JTT and chevy chase (I believe) and Chevy is drivng his bronco down a hill in San Fransico when he realizes his brakes are out! I'm a SMRT lil kid so I yell "use the emergency brake!" Needless to say, i sat a little lower in my seat after that.
You make me laugh!At work we are always checking out each others teeth after we eat :)
