What's Your Most Embarrassing Moment?

Last night as I was reading Rachael Ray's magazine, Everyday, I came across what she says are her most embarrassing moments.

"I was in the studio elevator with Ted Danson and didn't even recognize him" and

"I called Brad Garrett Ray Romano"

to name a few.

.

Really?

.

These are the kind of things I do every hour or every day (with non-famous people of course!)

No offense to Rachael...absolutely love her....

.

So I got to thinking about some of the embarrassing things that have happened to me.

I've already told you about one. Sometime I'll have to mention a few of the others.

Now I am wondering what is your most embarassing moment?

.

All my good deeds have been tainted by John Quinones....

I don't know if I am really being nice or if I am just scared that he is going to emerge after an annoying social encounter with a camera crew close behind.

So a few days ago I was in the grocery store.

I already had my groceries on the conveyor belt and was ready to get out of there.

And there she was.....a few customers back in the line asking if she could move ahead because all she had was a gallon of milk.

The lady behind me grunted and informed her that the express lane was open and there was no line there. (Which was true...and it was only 2 lanes away from where we were standing)

She wasn't interested in the express lane.

So the woman behind me finally waved her ahead. Now it was my turn. What would I do? Would I allow her to go ahead or tell her we were all in a hurry and she would just have to wait.

Let me point out here that I think it is terribly rude to ask to cut in line at the store. IMO, unless your water is breaking, there in no excuse for it.

Of course, I let her cut. Because I am nice?

????????????????????????????????????????????

Perhaps beacuse I fully expected John to jump from behind the toilet paper display and stick a microphone in my face asking me why I made that particular choice.

.

For my 1st television debut, I want to be known as the "nice, helpful and kindhearted" lady.

Not the "If you don't make my face foggy and disguise my voice I will sue you" lady.

.

Now (in a nice voice with a smiling face) I am inviting all of you to scroll down 2 posts and enter the giveaway. Tomorrow night I'll draw a winners name.

A Cup of Mother's Day Love

Still time to enter the giveaway....scroll down to next post....

.

I am so blessed with a precious family!

This Mother's Day I have been showered with cards, handmade notes, dinner at Cheesecake Factory and a new ironing board ....(which I LOVE! My old one kept falling and I have been know to iron at almost knee level!)

My favorite of all the gifts?

This little poem that Zachary made up himself....

"On Mother's Day, there is a cup of love deep inside your heart. Happy Mother's Day. I love you."

A cup of love to all mothers and mothers in waiting today! Blessings to all of you!

Feature Friday...We're Back!

I am so happy to introduce Home Sweet Walls to you! This shop is FULL of fantastic decals. I wanted to share all of them with you, but since I am limited on space, here is just a sampling:

This lovely Etsy shop is full of the most wonderful treats for your home!

In my opinion, this shop has the most unique vinyls of any shop I have come across.

They are very affordable and most come in the color of your choosing. There are even vehicle decals!

Tricia of Home Sweet Walls has been so kind to offer one of you lucky winners an adorable set of birdie decals!

Visit Home Sweet Walls. Come back here and leave your name and your favorite item from the shop as well as a way to contact you.

For a bonus entry, blog about this giveaway and leave me the link to your blog. (If you don't have a blog you can email 5 friends letting them know about the giveaway and leave a comment telling me you opted to email instead of blog.)

I'll draw a name on Wednesday! Thanks to Tricia for sharing her great shop with us!

.

So there it was.

Clearly visible even at 75 mph.

And the inevitable question came from the backseat.

Zachary: "Can we go there sometime?"

Me: "Well, I don't know. We'll see. Probably. We'll just have to think about it.... You know, it doesn't even open until summertime."

(Long pause)

Zachary: "You're just saying that because you don't want to go."

You've got that right.

There is nothing in me, and I mean nothing, that wants to traipse around a hot waterpark all day long in a swimsuit. And even less do I want to swim in a sea of bodily fluid commonly referred to as "pool water".

No thanks.

Perhaps daddy would like to take them.

Me? I'd rather spend my summer with these 2 characters in the backyard kiddy pool.

At least they don't care how much cottage cheese I wear on my thighs.

Meet My Little Gentleman

I'm never low on flower "bouquets" around here.

Both of my little guys keep me well stocked.

They learned this from my big guy.

Today Lucas brought me these purple beauties.

Not sure if these are really flowers or if they are just flowering weeds.

As you can see from the background, my post-flooded backyard is no flower garden.

But no matter what they actually are, they are pure love to me!

Feature Friday....

....is on vacation this week. There are a few huge features and giveaways going on on other blogs this week, so we will take a one week break here and come back next Friday with a big feature and giveaway of our own. You won't want to miss next week's featured shop and prize. Hint, hint, a little "bird" told me it is going to be good.

Sometime this week check out the features on these great blogs:

Both of these blogs have teamed up May 3-9 to offer a "It's in the Bag" Giveaway Bash: theshoppingmama.com and

etsyitup.blogspot.com

Each day both blogs will feature a shop and giveaway and yours truly will be featured on one of the blogs during that week. I will be giving away the winner's choice of "feeding on the go" sets from my shop.

Also, check out the Nesting Place.

This is a fantastic blog filled with ideas and tips on home decorating. This week they are giving away one of DaySpring's "Life to the full" platters. They are gorgeous!

Good luck to all of you!

Now I'll leave you with a rare image: my kids getting along (though Lucas wasn't thrilled about having Zachary that close).
