Have I ever told you about….
1. How I burned down a huge barn on our family farm? (Yes, it’s true…) :(
2. The fact that our third son was almost born in the doctor’s office? (Ever seen the look on the face of a panicked doctor?!) (and his nurse?)
3. The time I had to smooch a guy in front of my entire school… (and my grandma?) (I didn’t have to smooch my grandma…I had to smooch the guy in front of my grandma…) (I totally would have rather smooched my grandma…)
4. The time I wore sweat pants to perform my high school music concert?…And I had a solo? (I think I chose my black “dress sweats” at least…)
5. The night I toilet papered the homes of two of my college professors? (Oh wait, I think I did tell you about that…)
6. The first time I ever made gravy?… For Matt? (And he married me anyway…)
7. The time I handed my Discover card to my librarian… so that I could check out books… And I felt SO silly…because she was the kind of librarian who has glasses at the end of her nose and her lips in a straight line… And then the next week I did it AGAIN!! (Good grief!) (Too bad they won’t accept my library card at Walmart…)
8. The time I accidentally deleted my husbands research paper…the one that was due in two hours…? (Not my finest moment as a wife and help meet…) (At least by then, I knew how to make gravy…)
9. How I shouted a REALLLLY BAD word on a bus filled with people on our college choir tour? (I TOTALLY didn’t mean to!) I’ve never lived that one down… I can’t even believe I just mentioned it… It is BY FAR the most embarrassing moment of my life. I’m sure you’re all curious about that one. I’ll try to muster up the courage to tell you about it. I still hyperventilate when I think about it. (Could someone please get me a paper bag?) (And, quickly?)
10. How I found $350 cash in my freezer one day? (and I’m the one who put it there?) (Hey, it’s one way to make your money last longer…)
11. How I made a lady slide on laundry detergent and fall down and hurt her knee at the store one day…? Oh, the guilt…
12. The time I shop-lifted? I SO didn’t mean to!
13. The time I caused a chemical reaction so strong in our house that we all had to vacate immediately… (You all know, don’t you, NOT to clean with comet and bleach?) (At the same time?) (Inhaling those fumes might help explain why I kept handing my Discover card to the librarian…)
Okay, so there you have it…
Me…exposed…in all my glory…to everyone…<gulp>
If you want to know the full story on some of these…you’ll have to keep coming back.
But I’m curious…which of these stories would you like to hear tomorrow?!
See ya then!
More Thursday Thirteen…

You have lived a crazy life! Haha!

SandyCarlson says
There are many profs out there who could do with an extra dose of TP!
AnthonyNorth says
Oh dear.
But never mind. We’ve all been there :-)
You know you’ve lived by how many mistakes you’ve made.
Nicholas says
They all sound very intriguing. Mind you, if swearing in public is the most embarrassing thing that ever happens to you in your life, you’re doing pretty well!
Sue says
I’ve put some weird things in the fridge before, but never the freezer lol! Great list :)
Laura says
All of them! :-D But if I had to pick just one, I’d settle for the choir tour story.
ter says
Well, I’m curious!! (I will have to put you on my blogroll so I don’t forget to come back!)
Suezque says
I’ve heard the barn thing, so I’m curious how to forget about $350! :-) Or the gravy making…
Cordia Amant says
I actually just handed my America Express card to the librarian the other day. Habit, I guess. I have to say they all sound rather intriguing.
On a Limb with Claudia says
You sound pretty great. If this is your list of embarrassing things – I think Matt’s pretty lucky.
Happy TT!
Grandmother Wren says
An honest and very interesting thirteen.
Let yourself off the hook on the barn thing.
I’m not sure about the term paper though. That was a Biggie!
The Happy Housewife says
Okay- I want to know about making the lady slip on the detergent. I hope she wasn’t an old lady….
Happy TT~
By the way, thank you for the kind email, my dh’s surgery went well… he is in pain, but that was expected I guess.
Char says
Oh my, there are lots of stories here I don’t know. I want to hear the choir tour story first, but I’ll settle for any of them.
Joelle says
I think #2 sounds quite intriguing… but #8 is downright awful (I think I’d still be feeling horrible!) lol.
Catherine says
I think the burning-down-a-barn sounds like it would be a pretty spectacular story.
Bethany says
Oh my gosh thanks for the laugh! I definitely want to hear about how you burned down the barn…
Rhen (yestheyareallmine) says
That is a great list!!!! I want to hear about most of them please. You might want to start typing now. :)
Have a blessed week,
~Rhen
Wyspy says

Brenda says
Too funny…speaking of credit cards…my husband was driving an all nighter and had to pull over for a quick nap. A state patrol knocks on his window to check on him. Asks for his Drivers L. DH hands him his credit card. I wonder if the SP’s have credit card machines in their cars…pay on the spot. Crazy!
Have a great evening.
On Shades of Gray says
Those are so funny. Love the freezer story, too. I’ll come back for more.
Come say hi sometime.
Lenetta says
Hey, Laura, you have lots more stories to tell! :>)
