You're not going to believe this. On second thought, maybe it will come as no surprise. I had to go grocery shopping today, so already I know it's going to be a bad day when I got up this morning.
But I got it done. Groceries loaded in buggy, transferred to checkout counter, loaded back into buddy, and I'm headed out the door of the store, slow but sure. I reached down to the pocket of my pants where I thought I had put my car keys, but I couldn't find my pocket. I knew the pants I wore had pockets, and I was puzzled. I looked down. Holy guacamole! I had my pants on wrong-side-out! I had been all through the store, taking my sweet time, with my pants on wrong-side-out, seams on the outside. I was mortified.
Well, I found my keys where I had put them in my purse and made it home without completely dying of embarrassment. I dragged my groceries upstairs and put them away, got my pants on correctly, collapsed on the couch, and turned on the tv. That's when I learn that Prince had died.
Rest in Peace, amazing Prince. Thank you for the music and the magic.

For what it's worth, I wore my top inside out while touring Gandhi's home in Mumbai last year. Heaven only knows what the locals (and the tour guide) thought of Americans' fashion.

And I was embarrassed, when I got home from a group meeting, to find that the tag was sticking up at the back of my neck.

When in junior high school, one day I was walking to school and out from under my coat came a static-clinging knee sock. My friends and I laughed the rest of the way to school. I was probably really pink with embarrassment, but had to laugh. I'm still grateful that I wasn't at school when that happened.
Prince's music never appealed to me but am sorry to see him gone at such a young age. DS2 wonders if his unusual diet might have been part of the problem.
Hugs!

Oh my stars !! How embarrassing ....... I've been there and understand. We live in a small town and everyone knows you. I agree, it would be soooo nice if the doctors could find a drug to help us with fibro. I always enjoy your blog.

That is hilarious. With pants inside out, I picture the seams sticking out and the pockets waving by your side. People probably thought poor dear can't even dress herself. I don't feel so badly about my goofs. Hugs, Patty Mc

I've worn two colors of the same style shoe and another I remember is a co-worker wearing her pants backward all day before she - or we - noticed. Said they felt funny all day. Yours gave me a good laugh - much needed! Prince was more my daughter's era of music I guess, but am learning he was a musical genius. Sad he died so young.

Excuse me for laughing, but I did get a chuckle of that.I'm sure I've done things just as silly and embarrassing as that.
