Day Ten

Describe your most embarrassing moment.


I have been asked this question so many times over the years and I have yet to have a story worthy of the question. There are times in my life that I wish I could do over, but I have a hard time pinpointing one truly embarrassing moment. But, in the spirit of doing this blog, I do have a story from Dress Barn this past summer.

As many of my friends know, Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" is one of my guilty pleasure songs. I have no problem, no matter where I am, letting loose and singing along with the song. It frequently plays on the music loop at Dress Barn and I endeavor to be professional while at work. This means that if I am not currently speaking with a customer I am singing under my breath. One particular night, I took this one step further. Laura and I were closing that evening and there were no customers in the store. The song came on and being alone I felt no fear in busting out at top volume, dance moves included. It was a very liberating experience, let me tell you! My performance was amazing and would have continued to be so if I were not startled by some poor woman who happened upon my impromptu concert. She looked embarrassed for me, which I believe made the whole situation even more awkward.

It may not be the most embarrassing thing to happen to a person, but its one I still remember like it was yesterday. (And how ironic is it that my Pandora station just happened to play "Call Me Maybe" as I am wrapping this up? Its fate!)
