EMABARR ASSED

My shorts fell off...in public.  No kidding.  They actually fell right down to my ankles.  With people around.  And they saw.  I was so embarrassed.  Maybe I will feel better if I share the experience here...but probably not!!  I talked to April this morning and I didn't even tell her.  It really was embarrassing..

We do a lot of sitting around here.  There isn't a whole lot to do, which is nice.  It gives me time to write, read and generally be technologically connected to the world, which I love.  (Dean you will understand this!)  But at least once a day we go out, and we (I..Bill not so much) go walking, just to get the blood past my groin level.  My blood gets seriously stopped at that level due to sitting on the couch hunched over my lap top for hours.  Thats where I write and read my online books.

Yesterday afternoon I suggested we go out to Makenna Landing.  Its a good spot to catch the sunset and take some pictures, like I need more sunset pics.  I got out of my pj's and into my standard, one pair of shorts that I own and a shirt and into the car and away we went.  The shorts are loose.  I am washing them all the time to tighten them up.  I don't own a belt..because I hate them.  I have lost enough weight now that its a problem.  I can't buy new ones because Walmart and Kmart  only sell them in season. Yes, in season.  So right now all you can find are sweaters and black long sleeved turtleneck shirts.

Off we went.  When we got there we met three lovely women from Florida.  They had just finished snorkelling and were waiting for the sunset, as were a number of other people.  It is not an overly known spot so it was an intimate group of about twelve of us.

As the sun lowered we all started to pick spots and click away.  I was attempting to get the sun in one particular spot, and my camera needs two hands, when suddenly with no warning, my shorts just simply fell off.  Plunk.  I couldn't believe it!  Then the lady beside me started to laugh.  Like serious, can't quit, holding her sides laugh.  Which of course started a laughing chain reaction.  They weren't being mean, but holy jeez!!!  I can honestly say I was truly mortified.  I handed my camera to a guy who was nearest.  Pulled up the shorts.  Shook my head.  And went and got into the car.  I guess I am going to have to borrow one of Bill's belts.  Sigh.

THE NEIGHBOUR LADY HAD A HUGE EVENT SHE ATTENDED AND BROUGHT A LOAD OF FLOWERS TO BILL!!  IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT SO HE PUT THEM IN THE BATHTUB.....WHICH DRAINS SLOWLY OVER TIME. HE WAS UP EVERY COUPLE OF HOURS ALL NIGHT LONG, JUST TO PUT MORE WATER IN THE TUB AND THIS IS HONESTLY THE FIRST TIME HE HAS BEEN OUT OF BED BEFORE TEN IN THE MORNING...TO DO HIS FLOWERS.

COMMON SIGHT HERE

I THOUGHT IT LOOKED LIKE A MOOSE, WITH AN EARRING

Today, apparently, there are huge "epic" waves on the north side.  So we are off.  I made Bill egg salad sandwiches and myself, juice.  Blah!!  We are taking chairs and telephoto lenses.  You poor people will be subjected to even more wave pics.  Sorry.  TTYL
