An Awkward Night

Ok, so I don’t know what happened to me tonight, but it began and ended with a string of very awkward events.  Each one perpetuated by yours truly.  I mean, not that I’m not normally awkward, but tonight, I hit the pinnacle of awkwardness.   Have I used the word awkward enough yet?

Act 1:  The Valet Guys

I pull up at the party I was going to, and for some CRAZY reason, I decide to valet park.  I never valet because I think it’s a waste of money.  Anyway, the valet guy comes up and I get out of the car without putting it in park.  I have to jump back in to stop the car from running into the parked car in front of it.  I tell said valet guy that I know he’s going to talk about me and make fun of me after I’m gone.

Act 2: The Party

This party was a benefit for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (which my nephew has).  It was at an art gallery.  There was a painting [explicit] there that I decided to keep pointing out until I finally got the hint that people did not want to talk about this painting.  Awkward.

Act 3:  The Valet Guys Again

So Amanda Blake and I decide it’s time to leave.  I give the valet guy my ticket and a few minutes later he pulls up with my car.  I hand him my two-dollar tip, but oops, I forgot something inside, so I run back in.  When I return, he says, “Um, you just gave me this.”  He hands me the PERUVIAN money I had accidentally pulled out of my purse to give him.  But wait, Act 3 is not over.  I get into the car and then run over the little orange cone.  Now I KNOW they talked about me after that.

Act 3: Deanna’s Birthday Party (I promise I’m not usually this popular)

So I arrive at her party and see my dear friend Kali holding a baby (not her baby).  I walk over to her and tell her (laughing as if this is hilarious) that I thought for a second that she had brought her dog to the party.  (She brings her little doggie around with her a lot)  Ha ha.  How funny!  Yes, Mom and Dad of precious baby are standing there.  Did I just say their baby looks like a dog?  Of course not, because their little baby is adorable.  But, of course, I have to say the FIRST thing that pops into my head.

And the night ended with a group of us laughing at the hilarious pictures on www.awkwardfamilyphotos.com.  I mean, what better way to end an awkward night?
