HI!  I am having a contest.  I am not sure how many readers I have out there, but want to make new friends and thought- why can't I offer a contest of sorts?  Redeemed offered me a good thought- she was telling me a story of embarassment and so that got me thinking.  We all have stories to tell- funny ones (NOW) that happened to us over the years- and so I want you to dust off your embarassing/and or unbelievably funny stories and send them in.
The RULES:
1.  It has to be a story/circumstance that directly involves YOU.
2.  It can't embarass anyone in your family unless they give you direct permission.
3.  It has to be clean
4.  I will stop it on April the 7th and annouce the winner. 

Tell your friends- pop in and let me get to know you- the REAL you just a bit more!

I DO have a prize!  That's the best part!
I have a (drum roll please.....)

Brand new, still in packaging, Live From Atlanta: Casting Crowns 2 Disc DVD/CD set.
If you've never heard them, you are missing something great.  They have wonderful songs with powerful lyrics.  I would consider it to be in the more modern worship style music!  You'll love it!!

Can't wait to start reading all of your great stories! Good luck!!

Well, I have tried to forget embarrassing moments...I mean who wants to dwell on those? One of my most embarrassing moments is something that happened to me when I was about 8 years old.

Have I mentioned I was a big fan of The Bionic Woman? How about that until I was 9, I lived next to a dairy farm and spent a lot of my time there? Well, my friend, Kay and I were wandering about the farm having a good time. We had walked through the dairy barn and wanted to head out the back. There was the walk way we were on, and another walkway crossed it. The walkway that crossed it was covered in cow manure. But heck, I could jump like The Bionic Woman, so no problem right? Did I mention I was wearing a yellow windbreaker?

So I went back, got a running start and jumped...and almost made it! My foot caught in the cow manure just by a smidgeon, but that was all it took! I fell backwards into the kaka and by the time I was able to get up, I was covered from head to toe. I still remember the look on my mom's face when she saw me, then as she peeled my clothes off in the yard and tossed them in the burn barrell! Too bad she didn't take a picture!

So, do I win, huh, huh????:)

I was glad to point others to your contest (though I am not sure I want them to actually visit...the fewer embarrassing stories you get, the better chance I have to win:)

My most embarrassing moment would be when I was going into the operating room to have my c-section with my son and I got up and started getting dressed. I told them and my mom to get the car I was going home. I was crying and everything. When my husband came into the room I was so mad that he "let" me get that pg and that he was going to "let" the baby come out through me. It took them 30 minutes to convince me there was no other way for the baby to come out but through me.

We all absolutely enjoy Casting Crowns' music!

This is an old story, but still feels like it was just yesterday. One day I left the house and began my run - jogging. I was to my half way point when I realized I hadn't used the facilities before I left. I started to feel the pressure with every step and thought, "I just need to make it home." I tried all the mental games to keep me from thinking of the "P" word. There was no where to relieve myself, I lived on a major country highway with nothing in sight but open fields, 2 roads and a lot of cars. There was also a prison on my route.

I finally got within two hundred feet of my door, and I knew I made it. Then my elderly neighbor stopped me to talk. He was a "talker" and he wouldn't stop talking. I couldn't get a word in and I remember thinking "Oh no!" Before I could interrupt, I felt it coming and once it started coming I couldn't stop it - I WET my pants!! I just stood there and let him finish talking as my legs, socks and shoes were getting drenched. I don't think he ever noticed - at least I don't think he did! It was too late. When he finished talking, I did my best to WALK normally the rest of the way home and didn't stop until I was in the shower.

This is one of my funnier embarrassing moments. I hope everyone else gets a good laugh.

I just wanted to stop by and say hi. I don't have a funny story, but will be adding you to my friends list so I can check back with you regularly.

BTW, we LOVE Casting Crowns! We saw them twice; the first time a year ago on the front row!!!

Blessings,
Becky

I'll go way back because they don't cause my face to flush any more!

My Freshman year of High School I had to visit the doctor, who was a family friend. My stomach had been bothering me for some time. He asked his questions while I sat on the crinkly paper. Then he had me lay back. No big deal. He was feeling my tummy. Then he pulled the front of my pants down just a little. Still no big deal. Then I could not believe what I was hearing. He began to giggle. What in the world could he be laughing at? This was not a comfortable situation for a teenaged girl! He couldn't even talk to me. He felt awful that he had begun to laugh. He apologized to my mom, and said that he always thought I was so mature! Now I'm really feeling embarassed. What is he talking about? Why is he laughing at me? He left the room for a minute. My mom stood up and started laughing too. What the heck? She said, "Rebecca, you have Garfield underwear on!" I had mistakenly grabbed my niece's (who was living with us at the time) underwear out of the dryer. Of course my mother had to tell everyone! My niece told me I could just throw them away. And she proceeded to tell everyone she knew as well. I still think some people are looking at me strange!

My Senior year of High School I was pleased to be dating a guy that I really liked. He was a Christian. I was new at the school, and a bit shy, so I was trying very hard to make friends. We had gone to a swim party. I didn't really know anyone as it was the beginning of the school year. So, I just hung back and watched people. I listened to them, and tried to make small talk. I hadn't yet gotten into the pool. Then someone decided to have a diving contest. Everyone was participating. I couldn't dive, but knew how to do a flip off the high dive. I was coerced. I went up the ladder, eager to show off to my new boyfriend. I jumped off, did a flip, and went into the water. I came up out of the water, and something felt a little strange. I looked down to see one breast making an appearance. I tried to fix it quickly, but it was too late. I think I won the diving contest. Although, I didn't even want to hear any more about it.
