I must confess ...

It was tonight at dinner telling this story again that I realized I needed to confess to my bloggers my latest craziest thing I did. Before you read this, don't judge me -- I'm sure I could pull up dirt on you if I needed to!

Picture it ... Saturday, July 18th, out on a wheatfield in Pasco in 106 degree heat. I was at a wedding taking pictures with my friend Andrea. When she and I were discussing on how to best "dress" for comfort in the heat she suggested that we wear our husband's underwear. Boxer briefs to be exact. She had this piece of advice passed to her and she said it worked awesome because they end up being super big and then you don't get "leg chaiff" from the sweat! Being that I am pregant and was so scared of being uncomfortable in the 100+ degree heat for 8 hours, I would have tried anything.

So on went Blake's underwear on my body and a second pair in my purse in case I needed them later. Also, my nurse-friend advised that I bring the baby doppler, which is used to hear our son's heartbeat. That way if I got scared of being overheated I could check his heartbeat and make sure he was plugging along. Not sure how many of you know how a doppler works, but it needs a liquid gel to create the acoustic sound ... a gel in the form of lube ... yes, lube. So in my purse was my husbands underwear, my hand-held doppler wand, and an economy plus size of lube.

You can now imagine my embarassment when one of the ladies at the wedding happend to walk over to where my purse was on teh floor SITTING OPEN and she saw everything inside. She looked at the purse, looked at me, back at the purse, and then with shock and I'm sure disgust walked quickly away thinking I was some sort of freak.

I figured I'll never see her again and zipped up my purse and went on about my afternoon. So how's that for a what's-in-your-purse-story???
