my most recent embarresing moment :)

[Guest guest]

I hope I can bring some laughter into someone's day today by telling you of my

most recent embarressing moment: (I've been laughing about it since it happened)

(I seem to have a problem with skirts)

Throughout this semester, (I'm a student) I have spent a great deal oftime

preparing a group project to present to all of my professors and peers (usually

about 50-75 people are there) As I am someone who loves to please people, this

presentation was a big deal. I wanted to show all of my professors and peers

that I am a capable person and will be a good/knowlegeable therapist. So this

presentation was last Friday. I was in a classroom getting ready and practicing

before the presenation. I needed to fix something in my presentation so I bent

down to put my disc in the computer when I heard this 'RRRIIIIPPP'. I stood up

and asked my group member who was standing behind me if she could see the rip in

my skirt. She said no. I felt the back of my skirt for the rip. Instead of

feeling the seam, I felt cheeks. Of course, I was wondering how she could not

see the rip in my skirt if I was feeling cheeks. I started to walk toward my

bag to see if I had any safetly pins etc when she told me that she could

definately see skin.

So I ran around for a few minutes trying to find safetly pins, or call some

classmates to bring pins/needle & thread. We couldn't find anyone/anything. So

I had someone who was out in the hallway run and find me a stapler. So, the

biggest presentation of the year, (the 2nd biggest presentation of my college

career) was delivered with staples in my skirt. This was actually a good thing

(believe it or not) because I was laughing too hard before the presentation to

be too stressed out. (at least this time I wasn't climbing up on a table when

my skirt ripped - like when I was in HS)

(Oh, and when I went out after the presentation to relax with a frient, I ripped

my skirt even farther)there's nothing like standing in a bar with a skirt that

is ripped almost up to the waistband - glad i didn't take off my jacket like

my friend wanted me too!

Jan,

Are you actually moving to AZ in June?? Having lived there and having moved in

the summer can I recommend that you do NOT move in the summer? Even if you hire

movers to do all of the work, the heat will really wear on you. All of those

little trips in and out of the house and all of the moving and unpacking etc is

really tough to deal with. (and I lived there when I was younger and healthy!)

I'm glad you " hit " the door and hope that you are now planning on walking

through it. You can do it!!

Tawny,

I'm sorry to hear that you are having a difficult time right now. You have

always offered so much support and encouragement to anyone here who needs it.

Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. (Email me privately if you

wish)

Hugs to everyone.
