I happened to look down and see that my shorts were inside out! Everyone kept saying "your shorts are inside out ya know!" This is really funny:

This year I have been asked so many times when my baby is due that it's not funny. One of my clients even emailed to ask if I had given birth yet last week. I have put on a bit of weight, but it's getting ridiculous. I'm wondering if it's just the current fashion or whether I really do need to get serious about the diet! Don't worry you are not the only one! I had to laugh about your story. This year I have been asked so many times when my baby is due that it’s not funny.

I was supposedly the "Barry Bonds" of our team, and I had let that go to my head. So for our 1st playoff game that year (our team colors were green) I showed up in green spandex, green shorts over them, my green shirt and green sox. I was a HOT mess. Hey, when your talented though u think your amazing. So I get up to kick for the 1st time in the game...yea you know where this is going. It had rained a little before the game so the grass is a bit wet and I'm not wearing soccer cleats, just a pair of green shoes I had found somewhere. So, me and my egotistical self that has been bragging all pre-game about how great I am and what not, and how we're going to destroy all comers etc...yea I step to the plate. I take the biggest most powerful kick I can muster, COMPLETELY miss the ball and end up about 3-4 feet off the ground completely parallel to it. It was like a moment frozen in time, and in my head I'm thinking, "oh this is NOT good!" Next thing I know I'm flat on my back, laying on home plate looking up at the clouds, with everyone from BOTH teams just dying of laughter at me. At this point, there's no saving grace, no 'smooth line' to say...I'm just competely humiliated. It was classic. So as best I could I picked up the broken pieces of my ego and maybe 5 minutes later when everyone could stop laughing and pointing and mocking me long enough to continue the game, we went on. I don't remember much else from that game except that we lost, I didn't hit a homerun, and my friends STILL tell that story occassionaly to make sure I never forget that day! Sad thing is that was over 3 years ago...and I'm STILL laughing at myself reliving it right now. Like the bible says, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." :-) A few years ago while playing kickball…yes KICKBALL (for adults)…we were in the playoffs.

I about 18. I had just spent a sizeable chunk of my money sky diving with my friend Brian. He was set to get married two days later. We waited WAY too long for a ride that was WAY too short. However, it was exhillirating. It was worth the wait and the money. We jumped from 10,000 feet and landed on a tarp no larger than your bedroom. ...Find out how I embarassed myself on my blog later this week. Ok, here goes…

Give us some credit. What do you think the creative team is doing for an hour each week after that meeting? They're working on the strategy for the next week.
