Embarrassing Moments

I don't know why, but this morning I began thinking about an embarrassing moment that happened to me about 3 years ago.

Brace yourself...it's a dooser.

It was Christmas at my husband's grandparents house.  We enjoyed a fantastic meal, then began opening gifts.  My hubby's grandmother gave me a beautiful vintage box.  It was cream colored with a beautiful, shiny gold top.

As I opened it, I saw tissue paper wrapped neatly inside.  I opened the tissue to uncover some vintage lingerie.  Ooooh, this is pretty, I say as I begin pulling it from the box.  

Not the real stuff but a picture I found on line.

Grandma proceeds to tell me that it was hers and she would like for me to have it.  Eeeerrrk.  Say what??  My brain kind of froze realizing that this is used stuff.  Pre-loved goodies (if you get my meaning).  Stuff that's been on her body while doing stuff with her husband......now a 89 year old Grandpa.

I'm embarrassed but try to keep my cool.

I used my good manners and thanked her.

If that's not enough, she continues on by saying that her and Frank had some fun times and she remembers them vividly.
She wishes me the same.

Stop talking!

Don't E-V-E-N give me anymore details.

T-Bone was shooting a mischevious grin in my direction knowing that this was uncomfortable.  I mean, really.  Put yourself in that position.  You've got an entire family of people staring at you while you're opening a present of pre-worm lingerie...while they're all picturing Grandma and Grandpa taking care of business.  Or, even worse, they're thinking about me and T-Bone.
Not cool.

I'll be posting more embarrassing moments in the future because they're funny.
Do you have some to share??

The bill

Have you ever had to tell your husband that you forgot to pay a bill?

I got my turn today.

You see, our morning ritual includes a 20 minute show for the girls

while they wake up their sleepy heads.

Well, today the TV wasn't getting any channels so we

had to put in the movie Bolt.

I wondered why the channels weren't coming in and told T-Bone

that he may have to check out our DirecTV box later.

After the kids went to school, I called DirecTV to find out that Verizon

had advised them to stop service because our bill was past due.

WHAT?

WHAT?

WHAT?

We always pay our bills....and on time, I might add.  I explained this

to the DirecTV rep who advised me to call Verizon.  Before I called,

I went on line where we pay through Bill Pay and was

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo surprised

to see that I haven't paid Verizon in 2 months.

What happened?

Why not?

Where was the actual bill?

I looked in my file.

No recent bill.

I looked in my to-be-paid file.

No bill.

I called Verizon with my tail between my legs and told them

that I always wait for the paper bill to arrive in the mail.

I pay from that bill.

Well, I guess we didn't get one.

Or, the more likely choice is that I misplaced it?

Now, that's hard to believe.

You see I have a system and that system does not fail me.

Must solve problem.

So.....

I pay the bill with the credit card.

Our DirecTV service is restored.

All is well.

I'm still embarressed.
