The Post About Bathroom Floor Humiliation

We've all had embarrassing moments, right?

Maybe you had spinach from your omelet in your teeth while speaking to a crowd. Maybe you had chocolate smeared on your boob while talking to a coworker. Maybe you tried to get into your parked car when the actual owner of the car walked up. And the car wasn't even your make or model.

All of the above happened to me in the past week.

But let's get straight to today's tale of woe. I was at a meeting at a fancy schmancy bank representing my day job as we recruit supporters for United Way.

My performance was hailed by critics as a "freakin' fantastic job." Yes, that was written on a napkin and passed to me, but still... I was feeling good about my speech, my hair, my shoes. A quick trip to the ladies room and I'd be on my wonder woman way. 

As I went to exit the restroom stall I had chosen, the lock wouldn't turn back.

No problem. I'll just turn harder.
Nope. 
No problem, I'll just turn harder and squeal a little.
Sorry.

After a moment of self-talk reassuring myself that I wouldn't actually be TRAPPED in the stall, I started to consider Plan B. And then I executed Plan B.

I listened carefully to determine if I was by myself, which I was. I quickly shoved my handbag under the door and listened again. Still alone. I concocted toilet seat protector gloves and crawled quickly under the door...mentally thanking God and my parents for 5'2".

Mere seconds from freedom and the restroom door opened. I looked up and my eyes met her eyes. HER EYES THAT COULD SEE ME AND MY SEAT COVER ETSY GLOVES ON THE FLOOR.    

So...when you find yourself blushing in a moment you wish weren't happening...simply remember me on the bathroom floor.

You're welcome.

The Post About Random Rabbits

Today is Game Day.
I'd like to review my process of team loyalty as we begin a new season of NCAA football.
1. Always root for University of Alabama.
2. Always root for Auburn, unless it conflicts with #1.
3. Always root for SEC teams unless it conflicts with #1 or #2.
4. Never root for Tennessee, even if in conflict with #3.
5. Never root for non-SEC teams, unless their opponent is higher ranked than any SEC team (sans Tennessee.)

See how simple that is?


Amanda got older.
My viral friend Amanda turned 25 this week. Her viral/real-life boyfriend Joseph gathered a small group of us to wish her a video "Happy Birthday." But in an angry inconvenienced way. Some of my favorite bloggers make an appearance. And baby Evan.

Photo-A-Day
A new month of Photo-A-Day begins today. It's a snazzy way to stretch your photography muscles beyond pictures of your lunch and face in a mirror. Although I stand by the value of those two things. Post your pics to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or print them as doubles at the local pharmacy and hang them on your fridge.
