The Dressing Bottle.....

I get so frustrated with myself sometimes....I always have ways of making myself look like a complete idiot. Sometimes I have 5 different emotions clouding my head at one time; I'm happy, sad, melancholy, disappointed...grrrr. Or, on the other hand, I could be thinking of absolutely nothing. So then, while I’m thinking about everything and nothing, I do something clumsy. Like, for instance, last Saturday my family and I had got to our destination after a five hour ride in the car, we would be staying at a pastor’s house and would be presenting our ministry at their church the next day at church. So, naturally we ate dinner there. It was so delicious, spaghetti, bread and salad...very Italian. Everything was going well until I got to my salad. I helped Myself to the bright greens and decided on ranch dressing (since that's the only kind I eat). I unscrewed the lid, tipped the bottle and....BAMM. Half the dressing in the bottle was on my plate, lovely. Usually there's a little hole at the top of the dressing and you have to squeeze it to get the dressing out....yeah, not so with this bottle. Turns out it's the ONLY bottle in America that has this big hole in the top....anyway, I turned red with embarrassment, "Oops, I guess I got too much." I stammered. I wanted to burst out laughing, and, since I have a very supportive sister (!)*cough, cough* Cassie *cough* that was turning red with silent laughter, I succeeded quite well! Thank goodness our hostess was easy going and told me to just scrape it off into the sink. She must have thought I was such a ditz. Oh, my life.
