I should have been a blond. No offense to my blond friends, but those dumb blond jokes would definitely apply to me. Embarrassing moments happen to me all the time, but this was so crazy I had to share. I was driving on the highway on the way to a friend's house to go to a party. It was a beautiful Saturday morning and I was on a high from the drug "getting out of the house". After I stopped to get gas, I decided to call my husband and remind him about something.

I counted the minutes till I got home all the while breaking the law and speeding trying to keep in mind not to drive too recklessly screaming at the poky people in front of me. It brought to mind the very first time I experienced a full bladder as a pregnant woman. It was my first baby and my husband was in the Air Force. So, when we had an ultrasound we went to the Academy in Colorado Springs. They told me to drink an astronomical amount of water before I came. I did so and then we started out for the half hour drive to the hospital. By the time we were on the
