Horrid faux pas? Walking through the city while my apparently unzipped handbag emptied itself out all over the footpath! A woman tapped me on the shoulder and said 'You're leaving a trail of lippy on the street, love.' There were other things too. My stomach still turns when I think about it! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16463995674112691109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-51175845160931614062014-04-14T13:05:41.242+10:002014-04-14T13:05:41.242+10:00Hi Kaelee,

I have a foot in mouth problem that is unsolvable. I've also tripped and fallen a few times. The last time was over a crack in the sidewalk and I broke my glasses and required seven stitches in my left eyebrow. The hard part was I kept having to tell all the health care workers my story as they had to be assured that my poor husband wasn't responsible for the cut. I also have a bad habit of leaving my purse behind.<br /><br />Love the snippet and I'm looking forward to reading the book. <br /><br />A bit off the topic but I have to tell you how much I enjoyed Those Scandalous Caffarellis. I love all three books. <br />Kaeleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07897964695988614355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-963018525676722502014-04-14T11:27:06.888+10:002014-04-14T11:27:06.888+10:00Flirting With The Socialite Doc sounds great!

I read about it in a tiny snippet of news in the paper a year ago. In the NT the police were called to a rowdy hen's party and the tipsy women thought they were strippers. I stored it away so I could use it.

What a hoot!<br /><br />Most embarrassing faux pas - soooooo many to choose from! Open mouth, change feet - that's me... or it used to be! Oddly enough, a moment that pops to mind is when I met my dh many years ago - I was making some general comments about star signs and more specific (and negative) negative observations about Leo men. Then I noticed the strange look on his face - naturally, he's a Leo, isn't he!Sharon Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836969154744451542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-62716333560775140572014-04-13T17:33:18.630+10:002014-04-13T17:33:18.630+10:00I'm just terrible with names & faces.
