Yet another imbarrassing moment...

So my life is full of imbarrassing moments. Luckily I can somehow laugh them off and people don't think I'm a total idiot. This one happened just a couple of weeks ago while I was in Arizona. I debated sharing this story, but I thought, "Eh, what the heck, why not." You think I would grow out of these "imbarrassing moments"....but NOPE.
Ok, so it was Saturday, the 5th of July and suprisingly enough it was drizzling rain outside. We were in H-town (for those of you who don't understand gangster talk- that is Heber.) Many people said, "This is the coldest July 5th of my whole life." I admit, it was strange to have a rainy day prior to the fireworks.
Anyway, enough about the wheather...let's move on to the story.
So a bunch of us friends get together and played a game that starts with an S. Sammy, slappy, S, Sssss, Ssss...swooshie, sloopy, smoody....SMOOCHY!!! That's it...I was WAY off! Anyway we, as in Trace, Banning, Me, Jaime, Andrew Crandell, Bethany, and Baylon, gathered at the Capps Middle school field. I was very unprepared for SMOOCHY and I wore a white shirt. (OH, and on a side note: The sprinklers were going and I was sittin on the edge of the truck and Banning thought it would be a good idea to have a wet T-shirt contest and decided to deuce me with water...GOOD NEWS- I won the contest cause I was the only one that got wet! Go me!) On with the story....So we split up into two teams.
TEAM 1: Super Competative Trace, Quarterback Uncle RICO aka Andrew, and the fantastic ME
VS
TEAM 2: Prego Jaime, Mr. All-Star Banning, Baylon, and Bethany (Banning's little bro and sis).
The game is pretty much like ultimate football...no tackling allowed. You have to throw the ball to your teammate to advance up the field then you have to run or throw it to a teammate through the goal. You have to catch the ball, if you miss it, it becomes the other teams ball. That is the jist of it...even though Banning kept throwing out random rules the entire game!
So we are playing and I, with my cheetah fast speed and cat like reflexing, am pretty much the MVP of the game. I was running SO fast that mud began to flip up on my white shirt and all over the pants. (Remember the rain + the sprinklers + grass + dirt + my incredible super crazy speed = WET, MUDDY, SLIPPERY GRASS.) So my apponent, Jaime, takes off her outer shirt and just has her undershirt on that is capped sleeve. (You know, the kind that covers up the G's..aka our underwears.) So I think to myself, "Hey, what a BRILLIANT idea. I'll just take my white cute shirt off and put it over on the fence so it doesn't get all muddy and yucky." Then, without another thought and 1.2 seconds later, my shirt was off and I take off running towards the fence. I look down and see my white garment sleeve hanging out. I had a confused moment...what the?? So I continue to look down at myself and realize that I only have a black TANK top on and wasn't wearing my full cap sleeve black undershirt on like I THOUGHT I did. (key word = THOUGHT!) I tried to hurry and put my white shirt back on before anyone noticed...HOWEVER, they were all laughing, so I'm pretty sure they noticed. I was standing there struggling cause during my rush to get my white shirt off (remember my cheetah speed) I turned my shirt wrong-side out. So I sat there and fiddled with the darn thing for what seemed like Eternity as I stood there in my little black tank top with my partial underwear hanging out. I FINALLY got it back on and the look on Trace's face was priceless. I wish I had a picture of it. I want to say dumbfounded or confused or amused...maybe a little subdued. (Alright, not subdued, but it rhymed...so I threw it out there.) These imbarrassing moments may never stop. I seem to always find a way to do something stupid.
AND THAT'S HOW I ROLL!!!

PS. My team won....I believe it was because I distracted my apponents with my slightly "exposed" moment. It was all in the game plan.

ha ha that's hilarious! Sometimes when I'm just hanging out in the house all comfortable and stuff (you know what I mean) I have this fear that I'm going to forget that I don't have a real shirt on and that I will just walk out the door and go grocery shopping. I've definitely had to look down to check that I'm fully dressed a time or two. ha ha so don't worry - you're not the only one who would make that mistake!! :)

K, maybe this is due to the fact that it's 4:30am and I'm dead tired, but I haven't laughed that hard in a really long time. That is hilarious! Way to go.
