Today is better & Embarrassing Moments

Today was a much better day for me, keeping in line with all the dietary recommendations for my upcoming surgery...no, it's not scheduled, but maybe soon!

Okay, I want to add another most embarrassing moment to this, so here goes:

My sister Beth and I, many years ago, decided to attend a concert given in SLC's downtown theater. I can't remember the name of it, but it was golden on the inside, and had several different levels of balconies. Quite the nice theater! We decided to meet there, as neither of us wanted to drive so far out of our way. So when I arrived and after having found a parking spot, I got out and headed into the theater. This was in the days when I was much thinner, mind you, so I was feelin' and lookin' okay I thought. I was wearing a black with pink/green/white small flowers printed sheath dress, with a nice faux suede jacket over it. The jacket was the green color, and was just as long as the dress was. Also I was wearing nice black shoes and nylons(that is important later in my tale!).It was my favorite outfit at the time...very stylish! Walking down the sidewalk towards the entrance, a nice looking tall gentleman was walking towards me. We made eye contact, and he gave me one of the nicest smiles I'd seen in a long time. After that I KNEW I was lookin' fine!

So I find my sister, and we get to our seats. We were at a piano concert given by David Lanz, so we both dressed up quite nicely. About 15 minutes before it began we decide to take one last trip to the restroom, which we do. She's finished before I am, and she leaves to find her seat. I wash my hands, check my face in the mirror, and follow her not to long after that.

As I'm walking back to my seat, all the way across the second level balcony, I notice that lots of people are making eye contact and smiling...in what I THINK is a friendly manner. Again, I'm feeling pretty good about myself by this time. Yup, Jen's curse STRIKES with a VENGEANCE again.

My first clue that something was VERY wrong, a man about 10 seats down from where we were sitting in our row, leans forward, jaw dropped, and stares me into my seat. As I sit down, I figure out what is wrong...wait for it...

My dress (not the coat part, thank heavens ) had gotten stuck up in the back of my nylons. So as I sat down, I look into my lap and what do I see, but the whole kit and kaboodle! Along with everyone else who walked by me mere minutes before! I look over to Beth and say something stupid like, Oh My! My dress is up around my waist! As I tug it back into place, she starts laughing...she's trying so hard to control it...but honestly...who could? I couldn't! I start laughing too, and we BOTH have to get up and leave for a few minutes of HYSTERICAL laughter! We walk back in later on, but are both agreed that we absolutely CAN NOT sit where we were before. We moved quite far away, where nobody knows my...self, and are composed through most of the lovely concert. We only start laughing when we hear each other giggling!

Probably the best part of my sad little story is that when we leave and head to my car, Beth comes with me. We call our Mom on the phone, and start to tell her the story, but instead, we laugh for literally SEVEN WHOLE MINUTES before we calm down enough to tell her what had happened. She was already laughing at us laughing so hard, and once she hears it...we all laugh for probably 20 minutes more.

My family has been merciless with this story. My sisters tell it to people I've yet to meet, and then when I do, they giggle at me for some strange reason, UNTIL I find out they've heard...the story, and KNOW it was me it that did it!

You've probably heard this, but what I nice memory that I'd like to cut out of my brain!
