Nothing to Do but Laugh it Off... Wednesday, May 1

Life is way too strange and deranged at times to be really taken so seriously.  I'm a huge fan of laughing off an uncomfortable situation, making jokes to lighten a stressful conversation, and I've often laugh at myself in an embarrassing situation because it sure beats going red and what else can you really do?!  Exactly.  Well today my day was full of strange and deranged awkward moments to which I was left at the end of laughing over the nonsense of it all.

Yup, there were a lot of awkward moments today...

1. That awkward moment when your husband restates an early argument someone made about suggesting Pyen Chi should be caged when at the boxing club and then blurting out, "maybe THEY should be caged".  Extra awkward bonus point being that it was my father-in-law was there and it was his argument.

2. That awkward moment when a random paid worker walks into what he thought was an empty club, calls out and then tries to search out what he is sure is someone in the back but it's you on the toilet.  Extra awkward bonus point for managing to "control the situation" long enough until he gives up searching.

3. That awkward moment when the lady at immigration looks you up and down because you're late renewing your F2 papers and you're information (address) is off.  Extra awkward bonus point for blurting out "I didn't marry him for money -- he never had any and now he has less than none" -- to which the lady gave me a strange look that showed she was both confused and thought I was a fool.

4. That awkward moment when your dog overly sniffs a random person who approached her in the street and you laugh it off, saying "she [my dog] only likes the most handsome of men". Extra awkward bonus point being that the guy was actually a woman -- a very gender-neutral woman whose voice was pretty much the only thing that made her sex known.

5. That awkward moment when a friend (female) walks in on you showering, you freak out and they respond by telling you to relax, "I have seen you naked before."  Extra awkward bonus point being that you have absolutely no memory of her ever seeing you naked!

And for the most awkward of awkward moments today, this badboy....

6. That awkward moment when you yell at a driver for coming at you the wrong way on a one way street and then it turns out your husband and the driver recognize each other. Extra awkward bonus point being that the driver was the Cheonan jail former warden when your husband was a "resident" there.
