Word to the wise

I can't believe I'm realling posting this picture. OK, I can belive it now. I have an incredibly funny story to share, and even though it is MORTIFYING I had to tell people about it, because it's so embarrassing that I think people should talk about it over the dinner table :) Here's the story: I have this friend...let's call her Stephanie. We like to take pictures of ourselves when we are feeling especially pretty {pretty=gross}. So she sent me some pictures the other day over email, and I KNEW I could top her efforts. I took our camera, and took TEN of the most disgusting pictures I could think of. Don't get carried away, I was just making gross faces and making a complete fool of myself, but we were roommates in college, so this is someone who has seen this side of me. Many times. Anyway, I send off the email, giddy with anticipation to see her response...and I wait. About 30 minutes goes by and I'm wondering why she didn't respond to my email. I KNEW she was online, so I finally just asked her point blank why she didn't respond, and she acted like she had no idea what I was talking about. Please. The 10 nasty pictures I just sent you? You can't be serious...those would have stopped an ogre dead in his tracks.

HOLY COW.

Yeah, I sent it to the wrong Stephanie. Not 1, not 2, but TEN ridiculously grody pictures of MYSELF. Here's the hilarious part...I haven't seen this other Stephanie in a very long time. I think I've seen her once since high school graduation (10 years ago), so yesterday she gets this totally random email from me entitled "my nastiness", and when she opens it up, there is no text in the body of the email--just 10 pictures of me looking like I'm trying to scare the life out of her...and I didn't even sign it with a "goodbye" or "see you at the reunion". OH GOLL...Let me remind you that I am the girl who slid down a banister at Cottonwood High School a year ago, and ended up in an ambulance on a stretcher. I'm not always the brightest person. This is one of my "special" moments that will definitely go down in history on my list of things never to do again. So--you get the point. I guess it could have been worse. I could have emailed the pictures to every contact in my email list. Instead, I thought I'd just post one of the gross pictures on my blog, for the entire world to see. There. Now I can never be pegged as one of "those" bloggers, who try to make their lives look perfect. I should probably try to be more convincing though...
