My life

When people ask me about my most embarrassing reaction I usually say that my life is an embarrassing moment because it basically is. There's a couple of things that contribute to this.. But the first and the most prominent contributor is my beyond terrible sense of direction. This we have now found is a family trait! Jack is driving Me, josh, Amber, and Jacks girl.. Friend. Friend girl.. Tersa to Zion's national park to go hiking! We have only turned around three times! I missed one of the turns while I took a much needed nap across Joshy's (he is so big now! He's almost 13 and has clearly passed me up and is fully capable of picking me up and throwing me around) knees. And yes our gps too is to "Zion's Grocer" in Hurricane Utah not the Narrows. 
The first embarrassing moment of the day was when I thought it was funny to pull on this piece of plastic on a rolled up plastic tarp and it came out all over the floor on Zion's Grocer. And then stepped right in front of this very nice old mans truck when trying to make it to our car. I love nice old people.. He rolled down his window to laugh at me for awhile and diffuse my apologies. 
If we wanna go back to yesterday I had this prized moment where we were going through Mcey D's ($1 sodas! Whooo!!) drive through and I somehow forgot to order an just got to wait behind the car in front of me awkwardly before looping back through and realizing that I actually did not pass the ordering widow I just thought I did and could have gotten sodas the first time around. Later that night, to follow up on my gambling goal (I think it toats acceptable one time), we went to the strip & I tried to put a quarter into a slot machine that apparently doesn't have a coin slot and so my whole dream of pulling down that crank was rudely interrupted by me having to awkwardly stand up and walk away from the machine. I guess I will be saving that experience for another outing to Las Vegas Blvd (next time I'll choose a casino with a slots that are more conducive for cheap people like me). 
Continuing with the embarrassing moment thing.. I didn't realize I was in the men's bathroom at cafe rio until I walked out of it after using it and saw amber coming out of the other bathroom. Emily's thinking: "ohh.. Amber you're dumb! Why are you in the men's bathroom!? I'm gonna make fun of you.." Then I turned around and realized that she's not stupid and I'm just doubly stupid. So like any other rational person I walked away swiftly hoping no one saw where I walked out of. Go team! 
I also want to shout out to the woman driving in the car next to us on the way back to Vegas who motioned to us to roll down our window and told us out tank was open. I have to apologize for the frightened/awe-struck family in the minivan next door who watched me hold onto amber as she tried to stick herself far enough out the window to screw in the gas tank cap from inside our moving vehicle on the I-15.
