Forever Awkward

It seems that these Totally Awkward Tuesdays- created by TOVA Darling, well are an endless source of posts for me. I say this, because I am never short on awkward stories.

Junior Prom, my best friend was a senior and I spent the night at her house, since we were going to stay out all night and head to the Senior breakfast at some one's house. I went to a very small school, in my Junior grade there were 25 students, and I was considered an "honorary" senior because of my bestie.

We all had different dates and plans, but we were going to meet up at a designated point, to spend the wee hours together (just girls) and then head to the breakfast. My date had borrowed his Dad's car to be all fancy and take me to the prom. It was a Porsche and he was very worried about anything happening to it. There was a ton of drinking that night. I mean a ton. Let me remind you this want in the States, it wasn't completely legal, but not exactly illegal, and very socially acceptable. After the Prom and before the after Party we stopped at a gas station, as my date wanted to buy a pack of cigarettes. I waited in the car.

I started to feel sick, dizzy, woozy, head spinning...quick, quick, open my door so I can stick my head out...I couldn't find the latch to open the door, the trow up was creeping up. I thought of the car and it stinking of puke...OMG, what could I do???

I pulled up my dress and threw up in it. It was a mess. I figured out how to open the damn door. I went to gas station bathroom and cleaned up. It had gotten all over me. I gave my date and abbreviated version, asked him to drive me back to the prom to get my BFF's keys so I could go to her house and change and then we could all meet up at the after party.

My BFF handed over the keys no questions asked, I went to her house showered and changed and went to the after party. To this day, my BFF doesn't believe me 100%, she has gotten it to her head that I was up to "no good" on Prom night (what a cliche!) I mean really, like puking in your dress is less embarrassing than getting busy?

This is how our convo about that night goes every time-

Char- so why did you need the keys to my house

ME- um, I had to change, I had puke on me

Char- why did you take a shower?

ME- I HAD puke on me

Char- What took you so long?

ME-OMG- I had puke on Meeeeeeeeee

Char- a-huh (raising her eyebrows)

Which is more awkward- throwing up in your dress or your bestie thinking you're sluting it up! hahaha....you tell me?!

Worth a Thousand Words Thursday

January- 1990- You can tell the year by the acid wash jeans, neon swatch and my bushy eyebrows! Fast forward to May 2008- same 2 fools, silly as ever...



This man is not my husband, he is my bestest male friend ever, for 21 years and counting, his name is Alex. When I got married he became my hubby's best friend too (I have to admit I was jealous my husband stole my best friend) and when he needed a place to stay, well, he moved in. My kids call him Big Alex, it started out as Big People Alex, becasue my son is Alex and he would get confused when I would call "ALEX." Hence my son is Little People Alex, and my bud is Big People Alex. Four years later, he moved out and is now married to an AWESOME chick, we all love! That's his baby in the picture, he has a 3 year old too, we loves them.


Thanks to Jen over at Cheaper Than Therapy for Thousand Words Thursdays.

Worth A Thousand Words Thursday

This a my best friend. We met in 1985- we were 13. I think we were 16 in this picture, we still are friends today. Not the kind where we see each other all the time (we live 3 hours away) or even talk everyday. But when it's important were there. We have lived through boyfriends, husbands, high school ,cheer leading, sickness, babies, baby blues and anything else you can think of. I love her. Thanks, Jen for the whole thousand word Thursday!
