I Laughed until I shied...
from EMBARRASSMENT! Embarrassing moments are often hilarious in retrospect, but in the moment, OMG. I’ve had a few moments when I wish I could turn back the clock. The one that is most prominent in my mind is years ago when I was with a boyfriend visiting a group of his friends. I don’t remember all of the details but I believe these were his classmates from law school. They were in their last year or had just graduated and decided to all get together at someone’s house.
I was sitting comfortably on the floor next to my beau and a group of folks who were having a lively conversation and joking around. Any one who knows me, knows I love to laugh. I laugh until I cry, I laugh uncontrollably and I laugh loudly. Well, someone said something funny and I leaned over in one of my moments of hysteria and off my wig flew! (as a model, it wasn’t uncommon to wear wigs on and off the court). I had to sit up, adjust the darn thing back on my head and act as if what just happened was “okay.” yikes! I don’t remember much of what happened after that because needless to say, I was in shock. I don’t even remember if my boyfriend said anything. I think he was in more denial than I was!
What’s the best way to handle embarrassment? Acknowledge it, ignore it, laugh? Can you think of an embarrassing moment that you can laugh at now? How did you handle it?

Sister Tuesday I have a wig story. How about the time my then 2 year old son pulled my wig off in a crowded park full of people because he didn't want to go home. What an embarrassing moment. Do you still wear wigs? I don't since that incident. Word of advise for people wearing wigs...be sure they are well secured!! (((LMBO)))
