1) I'll probably have to come back to this one... I have apparently blocked them from my mind...

2) Waffles (with strawberries and whipped cream) and sausage, please!

3) The problem is that I'm not sure I truly want to break them... I get only so far, and then I hit a wall and think, "This is my coping tool. I'm not giving it up."

4) I miss the freedom of childhood. I don't miss the fighting parents or fighting brothers. But I miss the freedom from being so absolutely responsible... and the 10-cent candy bars!

5) Elf (on DVD before Christmas) continues to be a movie that cheers me up.

As always, thank you for these Wednesday posts, Mrs. G! I love learning about my fellow derfwads in their own words.

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far?
When I was 13, I flew on a military plane to Greece. One of the soldiers passed out a bag of pink bubblegum and I popped two in my mouth. They were earplugs. Of course everyone laughed and I nearly died.

2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon?
Pancakes, bacon

3) What habit would you like to break?
I wish I would stick to an exercise routine, so laziness?

4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child?
Parent

5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh?
The Five Year Engagement

I'm giggling over your pink bubblegum story. Luckily, ours have always been neon green, yellow, or orange, so no one has popped them into the wrong orifice. Yet.

1. Jumping up and down like a stupid 13 year old girl with my friends when my dad tapped me on the shoulder to introduce me to the bishop...who had just confirmed me.

2. Pancakes and sausage.

3. I would like to stop craving dessert after meals.

4. I've never been a parent but being a child was really fun.

5. Identity Thief. Melissa McCarthy is freakin' hilarious!

1) Tube top falling down and exposing myself. Early 80s in college. N0 one cared.

2) Waffles because we always have pancakes. But always bacon. Bacon my love. And my darling Homer loves his bacon.

3) Biting my nails.

4) Parent. Being a child is so restricting. I still remember all the times I was told no. That must be why I am the mom that says yes now.

5) I laugh at the darndest things. Sometimes they are stupid. Most recently: Talladega Nights -- love how Will Ferrell will run around with his nude pale flabby body. If only I could feel so free. And Ted -- my only previous exposure to Seth McWTF as I saw Family Guy only once and hated it... but I admit I liked that creepy teddy bear.

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far?
Falling flat on my ass after toasting the bride (my roommate) at her wedding. In my defence - new heels. And a glass or two of wine.

2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon?
Waffles with a bacon side. Hmm- now I'm hungry.

3) What habit would you like to break?
Obsessing about my weight.

4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child?
Well, I'd love to be a child with the wisdom ( such as it is) that I have now. But I don't mind being a parent. I just wish it didn't go so fast.

5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh?
Mamma Mia. Somehow , the sight of Meeyl Streep, bouncing on a bed to the music of ABBA, still makes me grin.

1. When my son said in the middle of WalMart when he was 3 ..."Mom, do you have a penis?" No dear only boys have them, and I am a girl. "But MOM, I saw your penis!" No dear, you most certainly did not..." and at the top of his lungs he said " You do too have a penis and I saw it!!!" OMG I could have crawled under a rack and never come out!
2. Gluten free waffles ...w/ice cream!
3. My weight and biting my nails
4. A child because the responsibility rests on adult shoulders. (Can you tell where my mind is these days? Yes, much responsibility w/ limited resources)
5. It's Complicated ... the computer scene or when Meryl and Steve are getting "groovy" and high!

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far?

I used to be an announcer on the HS radio station (real FM radio). One day, I wasn't off-mike when I started talking to the engineer. I didn't say ANYTHING awful, but I thought it was just so embarrassing. That's the thing about embarrassing moments - it's not what you do, it's how you felt about it.

2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon?

Yes please. Which I prefer is situational.

3) What habit would you like to break?

Every so often, I start using a phrase too much and then I start to annoy myself. I'm between them now. I wish I could stop doing it.

4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child?

I've only ever been a child. But I like being an adult a whole lot more than being a child. I couldn't wait to grow up.

5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh?

I was watching Major League on my iphone on the flight back from my father's. I don't care how many times I've seen that movie, it STILL makes me laugh. Best baseball movie ever.

February 26, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterTC

1. Hm, I can't think of any embarrassing moments, probably because I've blocked them. I know there have been many.
2. Depends on the type. If it's my favorite eggo whole wheat frozen waffles, then waffles. Otherwise I prefer pancakes. Always bacon over sausage!
3. I would love to break my habit of self medicating stress and anxiety with fast food or junk food.
4. Hmm. Well I'm not officially a parent, but I've lived with and helped raise my nieces since they were born, and it is pretty fun watching them grow. But I think I probably had more fun as a kid. At least part of the time. I'd love to go back to those carefree parts of childhood. But of course it wasn't all fun then, so who knows.
5. The last movie I saw was Silver Linings Playbook. It was good and I laughed in it, but I don't think it was belly laughs.

February 26, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterSusan:)

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far? In middle school I gave a speech speaking at the speed of light. I just could not slow down and while I was speaking I was completely aware of how bizarre I sounded.

2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon? Waffles and bacon por favor.

3) What habit would you like to break? Emotional eating.

4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child? That is a tough one. I think, if you are lucky, childhood is a more carefree (and therefore more fun) time.

5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh? Elf. Every Christmas.

February 27, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterKelly

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far? I can't think of anything specific except for using the wrong word in the wrong place which is a little lame...(and embarrassing to admit) :-)

2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon? pancakes. bacon.

3) What habit would you like to break? I quit smoking at 40... and now seven and a half years later started again. sort of. So, need to stop.

4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh? I can't think of a movie, but Modern Family usually does the trick. Then again, I'm so stressed out with the very little fun I'm having w/ my parenting duties, perhaps I'm an easy laugh.

February 27, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterErin

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far?- Must have blocked it, because I can't think of anything.

2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon?- Waffles with sausage, please

3) What habit would you like to break?- I have a bad habit of pulling at hang-nails on my fingers and biting my nails.

4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child?- Both are fun in different ways. My son and I have a blast trying to make each other laugh.

5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh?- Pitch Perfect

February 27, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterKelley

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far?
So many, it's hard to choose. At my townhouse, years ago, I stepped out onto the front porch to get the newspaper. It had snowed and was cold and icy. I was in my nightie. I was holding onto the front door handle to keep steady while I reached down for the paper when whoosh! my slippers slid on the ice. Down I went, clinging for dear life onto that door handle. I pulled the door closed behind me and yes, it was locked.

2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon?
Mmm, love them all. I tend to order pancakes and bacon at a restaurant but prefer waffles and sausage when I'm making breakfast at home. Mostly because I'm not very good at pancake flipping.

3) What habit would you like to break?
Biting my nails. I'm nearly 56. Really? Do we still need this one?

4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child?
Not a parent but I imagine it can be loads of fun (when it's not completely frustrating, that is). I would like to be completely carefree again. Although I like not having anyone tell me what I can or can't do, the responsibilities of adulthood can be fairly oppressive. Who knew? Well, besides mom that is...

5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh?
Don't watch many comedies but I really liked "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Best in Show."

February 27, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterDATdeborah

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far? There was the PUKING in first period 8th grade math class :)

2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon? I like pancakes and apple fritters a lot, but would probably like waffles too if I had a MICKEY MOUSE waffle maker! one day, one day... :) And, well, have been veg for 30 years, sooooo...... how about PINEAPPLE?

3) What habit would you like to break? I am frankly just not PATIENT. I see the value in being patient. I am working on it indeed. Otherwise I am sure I am quite perfect ;)

4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child? Well, no kids here, but ideally it is most fun to be an adult having fun, doing what you want when you want to!

5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh? Wow, I have utterly no idea...and I love to laugh!

February 27, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterGary Rith

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far?
The most recent one was falling flat on my face in an intersection while out on a morning walk. An intersection with stop lights and traffic in all directions. Hurt my pride more than my body parts.

2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon?
Pancakes. You can keep the meat if you give me real maple syrup. I do like both sausage and bacon, just not as much as the syrup.

3) What habit would you like to break?
I talk to much. I sometimes have whole conversations with strangers when I'm out in public. It embarrasses my family.

4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child?
Skip both and become a Grandparent. That's the best part.

5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh?
I wasn't all belly laughs but we recently watched Misery (again!) I really like Kathy Bates in her role in this film

1) Pooping on the table while delivering a baby.

2) Always waffles, always bacon.

3) Addiction to MahJohng.

4) Parent. You get to call the shots.

5) Silver Linings Playbook, which is also the last movie I saw.

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far? Let's see, which one do I pick? There was the time I was snow skiing and at some point I realized my hair was frozen solid from the snow falling. I panicked. What if I my hair just broke off? How ridiculous to be bald and have to tell people I broke it skiing, right? So I quickly clomped my way into the lodge and to the nearest bathroom, getting water from the sink to dribble over my hair and melt the ice. Saved! Ahhh. I now had wet hair and would probably die of head frostbite, but I wasn't going to be bald. I looked up from the sink in triumph, coming out of my frozen hair tunnel visioned fog, to realize I was in the men's bathroom, complete with men at the urinals. What could I do? I just clomped/ran out of there and away as fast as I could.

2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon? A much easier question. Pancakes & bacon.

3) What habit would you like to break? procrastination. Maybe it's too late at this point, but yes.

4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child? Hmmm, I enjoy the freedom of being an adult and the ability to have the fun with my kids that I want to have, but just pure fun meaning free from obligations? I'd have to say a kid.

5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh? Watched Beetlejuice with my kids recently. The scene where the dinner party is forced to dance is quite funny.

February 27, 2013 | Unregistered Commentersusan

Embarrassing moment: Falling flat in my butt in the middle of a relatively empty parking lot with three of my employees waitng for me to unlock the doors. Sometimes I feel like I am in my very own Farrelly Brothers movie.

Waffles with whipped cream and any fruit..

Habit I would like to break.....Pigging out on favorite foods.

More fun to be a parent.....the embarrassment value to teens is worth everything. (Mom, sometimes I think your prime goal in life is to cause me major embarrassment. You got it kid!)

Just rewatched Baby Mama, love Tina and Amy!

February 27, 2013 | Unregistered Commentersmartcat

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far?
Probably when I was 16 and accidentally blew snot on my boyfriend while we were making out. We both pretended nothing had happened and I tried to clean it off with my nose. Classy!

2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon?
Waffles and bacon, but not together please.

3) What habit would you like to break?
Doing things half-assed. Case in point, this weekend I made a new bench cushion and forgot I'd need to double the amount of material so it went all the way around the foam. Duh.

4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child?
Parent, I think. You just appreciate it all so much more.

5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh?
Hm. Anything with Melissa McCarthy or Will Farrell is pretty good.

February 27, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterKristin H

1. Being given first enema in hospital while waiting to deliver first child, and settling in on a gurney afterwards in hall (without any way to call for help and the sides were up, they were having many deliveries apparently that day) and starting to have another BM so I figured out how to get off the gurney and raced to the bathroom and didn't make it.

2. Pancakes, lots of kinds...both meats, but only one of each

3. leaving dishes in the sink

4. definitely being a child, which I think I've become again with my empty nest

5. Recently re-watched Marx Brothers in Duck Soup...so hilarious!

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far?
I was having a really bad day at work, so during lunch I drove to a local grocery store and bought a pint of my favorite ice cream. I was pigging out on it when I looked up to see one of my male co-workers tapping on my window. He was totally laughing at me.

2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon?
My grandma's homemade waffles and crispy think bacon, with her runny homemade maple syrup poured over all of it.

3) What habit would you like to break?
I crack my knuckles non-stop.

4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child?
Parent! I am lucky to have awesome kids. Of course, I had awesome parents, so being a kid was pretty great.

5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh?
Can't think of a recent one, buy waaaay back I remember Birdcage and Something about Mary. They both appealed to my totally inappropriate sense of humor.

February 27, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterJenny in NC

Green Girl, don't worry! I also pooped while delivering a baby. I didn't even know about it until my husband told me later. Seriously, with all that pushing, I don't know how it's possible to NOT poop. Maybe I'll write a book called "Lots of people poop while having a baby."

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far? Brown Friday. Far and away the MOST embarrassing thing EVER. And recently I asked Dave when he knew he loved me and his answer: Brown Friday. LOL!

2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon? Pancakes. Bacon, wicked crispy...unless the sausage is maple sausage, then I'll have that.

3) What habit would you like to break? OVEREATING

4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child? I'm not a parent, but I can't imagine anything more fun than being a child with no responsibilities, as long as that child is well loved and well taken care of, which was my experience (thankfully!!!)

5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh? Identify Thief...those two are hysterical!

February 27, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterJanet

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far? Today might be - I'm meeting with my boss to ask her to help me find a job inside our organization.

2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon? I'm not much for sweet breakfasts, although between the two, it's definitely waffles - homemade, not out of a toaster. Sausage AND bacon, please.

3) What habit would you like to break? Procrastination, if I could just get around to it.

4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child? I think a child, but in a heedless way, not even knowing

5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh? I think "Tropic Thunder" really surprised me. Was that Tom Cruise?

February 27, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterAunt Snow

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far?
I was seven months pregnant and sleeping au natural because nothing was comfy or fit right. About 2 am I hear the cat at the front door, desperate to get in because of the rain. I figure it is so late, no one would see if I just quick opened the door with the lights out. I get out to the breezeway and open the door and no cat. Just then someone comes walking up the sidewalk. I panic and hide between the door and the window in the breezeway waiting for him to walk by. (Nobody ever walked around at night in this neighborhood). Just when I think he must be gone I turn to peak through the window in the door and he is standing right there just about to knock on the door. He sees me pop out from behind the wall, naked and pregnant, and screams. I scream too and flee into the living room.

Poor guy. I think someone gave him a wrong address for a hook up after the bar that night, and his poor young man mind saw a naked pregnant lady. I was terrified that it was a guest of the neighbors or something.

Note to self, if your robe doesn't fit, buy a bigger robe.

2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon?
Waffles with lime curd and sausage.

3) What habit would you like to break?
Having to win an argument.

4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child?
Eh, it's a draw. i appreciate the stability of adulthood, but wish I could truly let go of stress like when I was a kid. I love parenting, but I got a challenging gig, so it has been a rewarding if not exactly relaxing ride.

5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh?
Super Troopers. I think.

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far? My sister and I were riding in my boyfriend's truck, an old Chevy S10. He had just taken us out to lunch and we were cruising through our local park to enjoy the sunny day. When he went and said something hilarious and I spewed Sprite out my nose (ouch) and all over his dashboard. We all laughed until we were crying, but I was completely humiliated. Amazingly, he continued to date me after that....

2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon? Pancakes and bacon please!

3) What habit would you like to break? Eating emotionally and biting my nails

4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child? A child for sure.

5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh? I think it was Here Comes the Boom. Not the greatest film ever but it had some hilarious moments and it was kid friendly!

1) Me: So... when are you due?
Her: I'm not.

Gah! I KNOW better than that! Why? Why? Why? But in my defense, she did come to the breastfeeding support group I run with out her baby. We have pregnant women attend our meetings all the time. Usually it's pretty late in the pregnancy but sometimes they come to the meetings before they are really showing. And I would love to say this was a rookie mistake but it just happened last month.

2) Waffles and sausage. Not a big fan of bacon. Blasphemy, I know.

3) Emotional eating and picking at my cuticles.

4) I'm going to go with child. But if you had asked if was more fun to be an ADULT vs a child, then I might go with adult.

5) Argo and Silver Linings Playbook had their moments, but really true belly laughs? Bridesmaids

February 27, 2013 | Unregistered Commenterkellyg

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far? I dunno.

2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon? Waffles and bacon! My kids and husband are pancakes and sausage ... needless to say we mostly have pancakes and sausage.

3) What habit would you like to break? Hmmm ... eating or sarcasm?

4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child? Parent, that way you can still do kids stuff with the kids but get to do grownup stuff too.

5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh? I don't tend to go to funny movies, I prefer Sci-Fi, but 2 Broke Girls made us laugh the other night.

February 27, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterLizP

@Molly, I hope you wanted us to laugh when you told us that story. Gosh, that was great! (And yes, embarrassing!)
@GreenGirl, it's only truly embarrassing if you were the midwife -- otherwise, it's totally expected.
@Janet, Brown Friday is one I will never forget. I filed it under "Unconditional Love" in my memory bank.
@Susan, fear of breaking hair while skiing is an awesome story; coupling it with saving hair from breaking in the men's room is even better!

You ladies are cheering me up today. Thank you!

February 27, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterKaren (formerly kcinnova)

minimal space in this old brain...embarrassing moments have been over-written.
neither, both
procrastination
Both have their good/fun points..I don't want to choose.
I don't go to movies and I don't watch sit-coms. So I don't remember any belly laughs, although I'm sure there have been some.

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far?
Today, as several male visitors were entering the men's room, I noticed that one was carrying a portfolio, so I asked, "Can I hold anything for you?" gah!!!

2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon?
Waffles and bacon, thank you very much.

3) What habit would you like to break?
Dithering. NO, overeating. No, dithering. Or maybe procrastination...one day.

4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child?
I've only ever been a child. However, I have enjoyed being an aunt.

5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh?
I had to think hard, since I only see movies once a year or so. I recall being mightily amused by a scene or two in The King's Speech.

February 27, 2013 | Unregistered Commentersw

@Karen, it was truly hysterical. Especially because the space I was "hiding" was narrower than I was pregnant. I wasn't very stealthy. Also, the breezeway was also my coat rack, had plenty of alternatives, had I been thinking. And his face? F*&^ing priceless. I would give a lot to know what he thought! Traumatized! It was like a "If you give a mouse a cookie" story of nakedness and laziness. Each step seemed logical enough.....

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far?

The one that comes to mind is slipping on the wet marble stairs, landing on my butt with my skirt up over my chest - panyhose, no panties.

2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon?

I like unusual things like buckwheat pancakes or waffles with nuts in them and bacon, crisp.

3) What habit would you like to break?

Paying my bills late.

4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child?

I didn't have a fun filled childhood - so adult. At least there is more autonomy.

5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh?

I embarrassed my daughters when we went to see Bridesmaids - but there has probably been something since then...

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far? The day of my wedding when the priest decided to be funny and tell everyone assembled that we were getting married because my husband wanted to marry the most beautiful woman in the world and that I wanted never to have to work again</I>. Given my concerns about getting married and giving up some measure of self-determination, I was so livid that I don't remember much after that. I think I blanked out and woke up three days later on my honeymoon in Canada. The good news is that I never had doubts about who I was marrying - he's not a control freak, and I've had a decent career along with 20 years of marriage.


2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon? Belgian waffles with warm apple topping. Bacon.

3) What habit would you like to break? Over shopping.

4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child? That's a tough one, I'm going to go with parent.

5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh? I can't remember the name of it. Aminated Adam Sandler (much better that way) plays a vampire. His big line is "I do not say 'Bleh, bleh, bleh!'" Makes me laugh just thinking about it.

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far?
Being out at costco with a work friend and having to go so bad that I had her let me out in the front of our office building on the way back so I could run into the 1st floor bathroom (we're on the 2nd floor). I didn't completely make it....and I left my purse in the car with her, which had my phone in it. I had to wait there until some unsuspecting woman from the 1st floor came in and ask her to go up to my office and get my friend to come down - she was so very nice. It was horrible. My friend had to lend me her full length slip, and I just went home. She told my boss I had an emergency. Worst moment ever...

2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon? Pancakes and bacon

3) What habit would you like to break? Lack of motivation about working out.

4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child? I'm not sure, being a kid I think. Responsiblity is a bummer sometimes.

5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh? Ted was very funny. Over the top funny, but funny.

February 27, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterJessie - a different one

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far?
Chicago. Michigan Avenue downtown. No place to pull over. Suddenly realizing I WAS lactose intolerant, and having a bowel event... in my boyfriend's car. Oh, the humiliation.

2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon?
Pancakes. Bacon.

3) What habit would you like to break?
Not showering every day. I'm down to every other, and I feel better if I do it every morning.

4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child?
Right now, parent.

5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh?
Blazing Saddles.

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far? I'm limited to a top 10?...more like top 100! Would have to be more specific as to which 'category'...

2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon? Waffles and Bacon, lots of crispy, hot bacon

3) What habit would you like to break? Procrastination. Deadly. Horrible to still be carrying around.

4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child? Parent...I can still ACT like a kid but also do all the 'adult' things too.

5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh? Saw Identity Thief last week and yeah, there were a couple belly jiggles. Was fun!

There are so many embarrassing moments, but this is a good one... the first date I went on with a new guy, I wore contacts. I didn't wear them often because they were the hard contacts back 25 years ago and not terribly comfortable. So we went to a restaurant for dinner. As we were leaving I felt like I had forgotten something. He agreed to go get his truck and he would pick me up at the entrance while I retrieved my forgotten item. I went back in thinking I had left my glasses on the table. I went back to the table and couldn't find them at which point I realized I had my contacts in. I went out to his truck trying to think up a quick white lie so he wouldn't see how stupid I was. 24 years later, my husband still teases me about our first date!

More recently, my teenage children were teasing me while I was in the kitchen. I usually pretend to pout and so I went to put my head down on the counter and whacked myself on the Costco sized peanut butter jar that I didn't see in front of me. Busted my lip. I turned around and started crying - they were laughing at me and didn't know I was hurt until I left the room. Once they saw the blood, they felt really bad. Now they tease me about the peanut butter. I can't get a break!

Pancakes and bacon, although I don't like bacon as much as I used to.

I wish I didn't make poor eating choices, overeat, and emotionally eat... but with all the teasing I get, what's a girl to do?!?!?

I like being a parent. Being able to laugh with my kids is great.

We recently watched Horrible Bosses. That was a hilarious movie!

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far? I
Puking all over my desk and brand new pad of lined paper in 4th grade.
We were only in class for about 10 minutes. That was when I started getting bullied. Jerks!

2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon?
Pancakes with sausage, but the link kind.

3) What habit would you like to break?
Emotional eatting.

4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child?
Child. I have not been a parent so I have to say child. Plus I live teach my neices and nephews all the things that drove my parents nuts.
Payback!

5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh?

Hot Fuzz.

if I start number 1 I a might not stop....I am just one of those people who does not have to work hard at embarrassment.

2- depends but I think I would want pancakes over waffles with sausage, when will this be ready?
3. I am told I am pushy....maybe less pushy... then again like 1 if I start where do I stop??
4. Oh, a parent of course. I love being a parent. Like number one if I start to tell you why - where to stop.
5.this one needs more thought but I have to say we love watching Shameless the British series and it makes me laugh out loud- so wrong and yet.... so funny....I am twisted that way.

1) What is one of the top ten embarrassing moments of your life so far? In the fifth grade, I farted and it squeaked very loudly on the wooden seat. I tried to turn around to act like it was the kid behind me, but everyone immediately saw that my face was as red as a beet. Makes me laugh now, but god that was the worst at the time.
2) Pancakes or waffles? Sausage or bacon? Waffles & Sausage….but I wouldn’t turn any of them down!
3) What habit would you like to break? Night-snacking. I’m especially weak for the salty stuff.
4) Is it more fun to be a parent or a child? I think parent. We didn’t have a lot of money growing up and it’s a lot of fun to buy the fun things for my kids that I didn’t get to have.
5) What's the last movie you saw that made you belly laugh? Bridesmaids, that scene in the bridal shop had the hubby and I rolling on the floor.

1) I can't pin it down...but they all involve me saying things that I wish back.

2) Bacon anytime.

3) Apart from the bacon bit?....Worse one, talking over people in a conversation.

4) Pet?

5) Pass. Maybe I've been watching too many worthy movies.

OK, there was this one time at a class reunion I ran into an old boyfriend.
In the general chatter he mentioned that he was now a taxi driver and I laughed loudly and couldn't stop.
He stalked off offended.
I had to go apologise, but he really didn't understand.

I'm sorry, but the one thought that popped into my head was that all my memories of him revolved around cars...being picked up for dances, trips to the beach, the time we saw Exorcist 1 and Exorcist 2 double feature at the Drive In, doing laps in town to meet up with friends.
Cars, cars, cars....
I lead with my mouth and my sense of humour always gets me in trouble.
