Embarrassment
The Day I Disrupted Cross-Channel Shipping
My life has often felt like a badly-written sitcom: Heavy on the embarrassment; light on the laughs. Whether it's relationship faux-pas, or sartorial missteps, or - biggest of all - hairdressing calamities, I've spent much of my time on this wonderful planet behaving like a comedic buffoon who's found himself trapped in a series of increasingly surreal situations. Only minus the laughter track.

The Day I Suffered A Near Fatal Fart Attack
If you suffer from an excess of flatulence, as I do, it can lead to some extremely hilarious, embarrassing moments. There is one thing you should never do when dealing with the public and that is because it tends to leave a very bad smell, if you know what I mean, except in this case it was all the sound and the fury without the whiff.Allow me to explain.

Once Upon a Car Crash
You know, one of the many “fun” things about anxiety is that it makes everything embarrassing. Walking across the room? Embarrassing. Buying toothpaste? Embarrassing. I blinked once, and it was embarrassing (exaggeration? Maybe. Maybe not). Basically: I exist? How embarrassing.

Two For The Show
This story takes place at a hotel, which was actually the first stop my family and I had made on our road trip to New Jersey (we were in the process of moving). Since we'd already left the house for good and still wanted to spend more time in Arizona before leaving forever, we decided to stay in a hotel for a couple of days.

High School Fool
It all started with a dark and stormy night, the kind of night that you'd assume a horror movie would take place. My best friend Bernadette and I were at her dad's house, alone, watching Transformers (mostly for Megan Fox) when the power went out.

Father of All Dildo's
Let me start by saying that I do not embarrass easy. When I was younger there were many moments where the worst-case scenario happened. I cut the cheese during a test, walked a mile from the restroom with tissue on my shoe, had a boob pop out on a roller coaster as well as on the beach during a volleyball game etc.… but you get the point. By the time I was an adult, few things made my cheeks flushed. Weeks were spent compiling a list of embarrassing moments and though a lot of them were gold no one of them were cringe worthy. It was not until I was arranging my closet for the summer and a few boxes fell on my head that it all came back. Bursting into tears with laughter I declared it the one. Before delving into it let me share the 2nd place and third. In third is Bumble Bee Suit. 2nd place is Fast and Furious Repast, and first place is Father of All Dildo’s

Magnets on the Brain
Jerry and I had played basketball together for years but I'd never met his wife, Christina. They had never met my wife, Paula, either. Paula and I had been driving into town on the country road they live on and had found them taking a walk one morning. We stopped and made introductions. We decided we needed to go out to dinner so we made plans to meet at a restaurant.

The One About Trader Joe's Chili Spiced Dried Mango
DISCLAIMER: I personally have nothing against raisins- in fact I enjoy eating them as a snack. I only used raisins as an example because I know a lot of people don’t like them and I figured it would make it easier for other people to relate to my story. More importantly, I love mango and almost anything that has mango in it, and chili spiced dried mango is one of my favorite things about Trader Joe’s, so I wanted to give a shoutout to TJ for their dried fruit products.

Liar, Liar, Pants on fire!
Dear Diary, It’s me again writing to you late at night under the covers while the radio plays softly in the background. I want to tell you something; I know I haven’t written to you in a while and I’m sorry. Starting this new school is hard because it’s a prep and I’m not used to so much homework or these high expectations. Anyway, let’s not get into that ‘cause that’s not what I want to talk about. I have a bully. Again, yes, of course. It always happens, there has to be one. Her name is Priscilla, she’s different from the other bully’s. Not as mean and she hasn’t pushed me or anything. Her style mostly involves pranks or just being annoying, but she also has this odd way of being around when something not cool happens to me. I think I have a curse, but I swear it’s true. Last week, she came around the corner at exactly the perfect time to see me pick my nose. I mean come on! Not a coincidence, it’s fate, and I’m cursed. I have tried my best to be nice, but I can’t take it anymore. She has got to be stopped. Tomorrow I will tell her she needs to stop bullying me or else… and by else, I mean… well I haven’t gotten that far but I just might tell on her. Ugh, see you later and wish me good luck!

The Professional Woman
Having a high powered career and a house full of children at the same time is never easy. Having a husband who is always out in the field with the military or collapsed on the couch from exhaustion makes the situation even tenser. The combination of five active children aged 12 and under, a military husband, and a very stressful technical career made my life too busy and complex, and led to a Most Embarrassing Moment.
