Oops I Did It Again.....

We all have those moments.... you know... the ones in life where you think to yourself, "Did I really just do that?" "Did I really just say that to him (or her)?" "Did I really just trip in front of them?" "Did I really just ask about the girlfriend that they just broke up with?" "Did I seriously just spill my entire glass of wine on myself in front of everyone?" Need I say more? We find ourselves in these precarious situations, some more often than not, and yet we still manage to repeat the same mistakes over and over again in social situations. You know.... the ones that drive us to eat extreme amounts of cheese or chocolate.... or lead us to tear-stained pillows or late night phone calls to our best friends... I wish I could say that my life was free of these inconvenient embarassments, but it is actually full of them! I find that in retrospect, these moments give me more strength in the end. I am capable of taking full responsibility for all of my actions... even when wine is involved. ;) And, ultimately, it is not what others think of us, but what we think of ourselves that matters the most....right??? -M
