I really don't know why I'm posting this and may end up regretting it, but I had to post my most embarrassing moment to enter a contest on another blog and started thinking I've had so many it's hard to pick one. In an effort to brighten everyone's day and put a smile on their face, I have decided to put my pride on the line and share some of my most embarrassing moments with y'all. Now, just don't be too mean and tease me too much after this.
Moment #1
When I was in High School, I was in the chorus for Rags being performed locally. The story line of the show is about a young Jewish mother who comes to America and there is a lot of dancing with your arms held high in the air. Well, during one of the dances, my skirt fell all the way down to my ankles. Even though I normally wore biker shorts under costumes, I didn't for this show because the skirts were so long and it was outdoors and hot. I quickly grabbed my skirt, but had to dance the rest of the time with one arm in the air, and the other arm clutching my skirt to hold it up.
Moment #2
In order to reach the dressing rooms in the Salt Lake Temple, you have to descend a long ominous flight of stairs. Okay, not long and ominous, but all stairs seem that way to me. Brian was up at the top getting the parking token and I decided to start down because it takes me longer to change. I missed a step and slid halfway down the stairs. I looked up and all the old ladies working at the Temple are leaning over the banister looking half-concerned, but trying to stifle fits of laughter at the same time. To make matters worse, Brian walked up before I could get back up and pretend nothing happend. He has never let me live it down either.
Moment #3
Brian and I were walking out of Litza's Pizza one night after a yummy dinner. I was carrying out the leftover pizza when I tripped on the threshold. In an effort to save the pizza, I grabbed onto the door handle and by the time Brian looked back I was just dangling from the door trying to regain my footing.
Moment #4
Anyone who's known me for a while, knows that I get just a teensy bit queasy over medical stuff. I like everything that's supposed to be inside the body to stay inside. I have become sick more than a few times over medical incidents. The most embarrassing time was during Primary. Our primary teacher had been in a car accident a few weeks before and was telling the whole class her story in all it's bloody glory. Well, I could feel it starting. I started getting hot, and light headed. The room started spinning. I asked the teacher if I could leave, but she wouldn't let me. By then, the room started going black. Next thing I knew, I was laying on the floor with the class surrounding me and my dad rushing in the door. Yup, I fainted in front of my whole primary class. To make matters worse, apparently my skirt flew up over my head, and one of the boys never let me live that down.
Okay, so now I've shared some pretty embarrassing stories. I want to hear yours. Comment below or post on your own blog your most embarrassing moment.

Hahaha for some reason I like the Pizza one the best, probably because I have done something like that several times in my life :)
Okay here are a few I can think of:
#1
In fourth grade we were doing a unit on Native Americans and in 1st grade my mom had helped me make a really amazing Indian costume. So my dad forced me to wear it and take a few pictures. Well after my parents left I went to the bathroom and couldn't get out of it! So I went back to class, and all of the girls had to form a circle around me while my teacher pulled it off of me.
#2
We had recently moved into our new house and Brad and I were downstairs. We decided to race up to the kitchen for the last cookie or something ... I was first up the stairs and when my socks hit the slick floor I fell flat on my face spralled out like a cartoon.
I know there are MANY MANY more but for my own sanity I try to delete such memories from my brain :)
Wow, these are nothing!!!! I've lived longer, and I've got really, really big most embarrassing moments. So big, I'd die if anyone knew about them and I'll spare you the agony. But here's a few I can share.
1. When I was a kid, a lady who lived down the street hosted a garden club for all of us. She had a wonderful yard and was really eager to share her knowledge with all us rug rats. (I realize now that she probably considered it the best way to keep us from destroying her yard.) Anyway, one day I needed to take something over to her. I really needed to go to the bathroom, but figured I could hurry over and then hurry back home. Yaa, you're right. I couldn't hold it and stood on her step and felt the warm water gush down my legs as I spoke to her. Very embarrassing.
2. Another time I got sick to my stomach at school and didn't make it farther than inside the door to the girl's room. I stood and waited for someone to come help, but died of embarrassment as the recess bell rang and suddenly it seemed like every girl in the school was coming into the bathroom and as soon as they realized what was on the floor, you know .... the looks on their faces -- oh how I wished I could have disappeared.
3. The third one explains how Tonya came by her ability to pass out. We were brand new kids in a new school right after we moved to Wendell, Idaho. It was just a little tiny high school and I think it was about the second day I had been there. I was starting my period and really feeling lousy. The teacher walked me to the office, and suddenly I could tell I was going to pass out. I turned around and walked out of the office and somewhere between the door and the other side of the hall, I passed out. But I kept walking right into the wall of lockers before I collapsed to the floor. I'm just glad I don't throw up when I pass out. The entire school knew about it before I returned the next morning. Small schools are always looking for a way to share something different from the day-to-day drudge.
4. You know, I'm old enough to have had kids walk in on me and hubby when they shouldn't have. Hopefully they thought it was just a bad bad dream? We did finally put locks on the door. Just never figured out why they didn't have them on them in the first place!
I don't know if I could narrow down on just a few moments. I am always embarrassing myself! Thanks for sharing and if I think of a few, I'll blog them.
