Nothing like being humbled. That's basically my middle name lately. I have a knack for sticking my foot in my mouth or saying something that later I stew about all night.
Couple of examples:
1. Last weekend my mom, Sandy (moms best friend), and I ventured to Spokane for a day of rummaging through our favorite stores. We somehow got on the subject of driving, and I mentioned that I happened to be the "best woman driver" of all time. 'Cause pretty much my track record proves that- no tickets, or wrecks. EVER (knock on wood). So then it was my turn to drive and we had the pickup loaded with all of our treasures (windows blocked). I backed out of our parking space in Jack in the Box, and bang! I backed into a huge Avalanche (ugly) truck. I surveyed the damage: NONE. I was so lucky. None to Sandy's Toyota, and none to the big ugly monstrosity behind me.
Eat crow and enjoy it.
2. I was Senior Class VP in high school and everyone knows you get to plan your 10 year reunion. So that's this summer, and I'm not really excited to be there, but I don't want people to think I am unorganized or lazy, so I planned my own reunion for September without contacting anyone from my class (I did try, I'm just not a myspace fanatic and couldn't figure it out. Apparently all my classmates hang out there like crazy and are pros.) I went to myspace and posted to all my "friends" to check my new blog (http://www.hhs1998reunion.blogspot.com/) and check out the details of the class reunion. Almost immediately all 15 of my "friends" wrote me back to inform my dumb self that there already was a reunion planned and to basically "get a life".
Chew...Smack....Slurp...
3. Last night at mutual, we played kickball. I used to be an okay athlete in HS. And I let everyone know it. So I'm hustling to my spot in the infield (all grass field) and I totally step in a hidden sprinkler hole and sprain my ankle. I went down like a sack of potatoes. Everyone saw it. I walked it off and ended up being okay but today my ankle aches.
Eat it and LOVE it.
So hopefully by posting this counts as my repentance process. I'm going to be a little more chill and let things go and try not to toot my own horn. I guess if the Nephites can conquer the pride cycle once in a while, I can too.
MMMMMM.....tastes great.

Oh my gosh! I'm laughing so hard. Thanks for sharing those Nan, you are hilarious.
You have had it rough girl!!! I love the analogy to the Nephites :)
Your so funny Nan. I hope your ankle gets better though. And glad that you didn't make that Avalance dented. And the Nephites were good at one time.
Nan, besides your great looks and loving personality, I know exactly why Mitch adores you. You write like a pro! Seriously, you have such a knack with writing, and this post proves it. I love it!
Oh Nan, this is why I love you. Just the fact that you posted all of this proves how humble you really are. Thanks for giving me a good chuckle today, and soooo glad you didn't do any damage to that other vehicle. Your luck continues.
Nan- good luck living that one down (the truck incident). Glad there was no damage though- lucky. Even though you have a knack for words- you still are the coolest person I know.
You are so funny! Sorry to hear about your ankle. Ouch!
This was a great post. Don't you hate it when you say, "Oh I've never done that before." and then BAM you are making a fool of yourself. I related too well to this post. This was great Nan!
HaAAAAAAA, Haaaaaaa, So stinkin funny! My favorite is about the high school reunion, cause I was there for part of your planning/site building/ranting and raving! I just love my Nan. You crack me up!
I hate it when that kind of stuff happens! I've often thought I'd be better off if I just duct tape my mouth closed when I'm in public.
This post just made me laugh out loud. Thank You!
I have eaten so much crow that it has become one of my favorite dishes. Try it lightly roasted with just a dash of salt. Delicious.
I love that you're brave enough to write all of you humbling experiences on your blog!! Thanks for the much needed laugh today! :0)
I am so with you on this one. I am always the one who asks someone if they are pregnant when they're not and all sorts of things like that. It usually takes me about a week to get over the embarrasment and laugh. I love that you share it all, it's really funny stuff!!
Nan, this is exactly what I love about you. Only you could laugh about yourself like this. I wish I was as secure in myself as you are. These were such great stories. Thanks for the laugh!
Nan you need to give yourself a break and as far as the whole reunion thing goes, the fact that you hadn't been contacted and that they were relying on Myspace is just plain lame and there is no excuse for that. I applaud your efforts to be proactive, and I bet your reunion would be way better too!!!!!!!!!!!
I second that!!!
