The sentence for this week:
“One of the most embarrassing things I ever did was…”
Next week’s sentence to finish: “The last time I went on vacation, I…”
Embarrassing moments are bound to occur in most people’s lives at some point or another. I am a klutz from way back, so I have had more than my share of an embarrassing moments and have even shared a few so far on my blog.
I also share a lot about about my life now, but the moment that I am going to describe was in the past and actually before I ever had kids or was even married.
It occurred back when I was first actually dating Kevin. It was our second date, when our relationship were still very new and fresh. I remember liking him so very much and wanting to, of course, put my best foot forward.
We began dating back in July 2003 almost 10 years ago and it was the middle of the summer on Long Island, NY. Our date started by going mini golfing locally. I stink at anything that requires coordination, thus the reason I never was on any major sports teams in my youth. But somehow I managed to get through that outing without making too much of an ass out of myself. Kevin, of course, won, but still wasn’t a massacre. So all-in-all, the date was going Ok. Then, he suggested that we go to Friendly’s for some ice cream. Sounded like a reasonable plan and we headed there.
Once there, Kevin ordered a Reese’s Peanut Butter Sundae and I ordered two scoops of butter crunch ice cream with caramel and health bar topping, which is one of my favorites. When the order arrived, Kevin excused himself to go to the men’s room. I started to eat my ice cream. When a few minutes had gone by, I casually leaned forward to see if Kevin was returning yet, when it happened. See when I did lean in, I got my long hair into the ice cream, specifically the caramel.
It probably wouldn’t have been so bad if I hadn’t had the caramel on my ice cream, but now not only was my hair all dirty, but sticky, too. It was gross. I managed to wet it with some water that had been at our table, but still it was just not pleasant. When Kevin came back, he immediately noticed and asked what had happened. When I told him, he just laughed and said, “I’d love some caramel with my hair.”
My knight in shining armor made a joke of it and the rest of the night he made me feel like it was no big deal by his cute little jokes every so often. His teasing was quite endearing and he did it in such a way that I felt special.
Even now, he will remind me of that night and how I got caramel in my hair. It is our little moment that we shared just the two of us and now I have shared it with all of you, too!!
We’ll be featuring some of our favorites on Twitter and our Facebook pages, so make sure to follow. Don’t forget to grab a button and put it somewhere people will see. We’d are hoping to keep this hop going strong and continue this for a long time to come!

Emily Cappo says
Cute story and yes, I can definitely see how that would be embarrassing, but because of Kevin's reaction, he seemed to have lessened your embarrassment, which is a good thing and probably why you are now married!
Janine Huldie says
Oh thanks Emily and so very true about Kevin's reaction totally lessening the embarrassment and every once in awhile he will remind me of this. When he does it is like our own private inside joke, lol 🙂
Bill says
I just stopped by to wish you a great weekend and give you support. This time of night I'm done writing and my brain is mush, so no sentence completing from me. 🙂
Janine Huldie says
No worries, because as you were writing this it was late here for me and was sleeping. Thanks so very much Bill for your support 🙂 🙂
Janine Huldie says
Oh thanks Kate. I was trying to keep it clean though and there were some other embarrassing moment stories that might have been funnier, but also might have truly not been appropriate, lol!! 🙂
Janine Huldie says
Total sticky situation indeed Michelle, lol!! Thanks for reading and linking up, too!!
Janine Huldie says
Oh thanks Amy and I just couldn't help myself a share 🙂 🙂
Josie Bisett says
That reminded me of a 'Something about Mary!' moment, only MUCH cleaner! Your fella sounds like a total sweetheart. I just told Kate thanks, and now I want to say thanks to you too. I've never enjoyed a blog link-up this much before. You guys are all fabulous:)
Janine Huldie says
Thanks Josie and just so happy to be doing this. Love reading all the stories that are getting linked up and look forward to more this week and the following weeks, as well.
The Dose of Reality says
Oh Lord, sticky caramel hair is the worst! So glad to have found this link-up! 🙂
Janine Huldie says
Isn't it and by the way I loved your story that you linked up this week and here is to many more 🙂 🙂
Kera says
Hahah! That's hilarious…I could just picture you freaking out at the table hoping that Kevin didn't notice we he got back. Wishing you had that hair tie in your pocket so you could put your hair in a pony tail at least lol. What I love about it is that it was one of your first dates and Kevin laughed it off like it was nothing. I bet you knew he was different right then and there! Such a great memory 🙂
Janine Huldie says
Lol, Kera, I usually always have a little black scrunchie with me and still to this day don't know why I didn't that night. Oh well, I guess it must meant to be on more levels then one. Thanks as always!!
Cyndi says
Oh, I've had some embarrassing doosies in my time, lol. I couldn't come up with a really good fitting photo, but well, pfft…I DO have something already picked out for next week. yippee!
Janine Huldie says
Thanks Cyndi and haven't we all. I tried to keep this one that wouldn't make me completely cringe reading on here, but thought this one cute and a glimpse into Kevin and I when we were just starting out before the kiddos. Looking forward to your addition next week now and sure the photo will be awesome 🙂 🙂
Ruchira says
oh..that caramel is so utterly delicious but when it comes in our hair…it's like eww…lol
Good one, Janine 🙂
Janine Huldie says
Oh Ruchira, it is so delicious, but not in my hair, lol!! That said thank you so very much for linking up and totally enjoyed your post, too 🙂 🙂
Azara says
What a sweet "how we met" story. It's hard for me to even remember being embarrassed with my husband, but I'm sure there were moments like this on our early dates.
Thanks for hosting!
Janine Huldie says
Oh thanks so much for kind words. I don't remember everything . Somethings have gotten a bit foggy with time, but this is something that I will never forget and was my pleasure to share. Thank you for linking up and again loved your post, too and also hope to see you again next week 🙂
Roshni AaMom says
That's a cute story!! My husband is like that too; if I do something really embarrassing, he immediately turns it into something lighthearted and makes fun of it, so my mood completely changes for the better!!
Janine Huldie says
Oh thanks Roshni. I love that my husband is a bit of a tease and really doesn't take much seriously and is constantly joking with me. He does lighten up the mood whenever I do something embarrassing, which can be more often than not, lol 🙂 🙂
Stacy Harris says
Awe… such a cute story. I really want to do the blog hop but I am going to admit… I don't have a clue on how to do it! 🙁 I think I will venture into that next week when I get stuff under control! 🙂
Janine Huldie says
No worries and will will be here next week. Get everything under control and back normal there first. Just so happy to have you back and missed you!!
Janine Huldie says
Oh thanks Terrye. He actually read this today and was busting my chops a bit sharing this one. But have to agree that we have a similar way of dealing with each other back and forth with busting on the other. It how we keep things alive and spicy I suppose, lol!! 🙂
Janine Huldie says
Oh same here and will be 7 years married in July and 10 years since we first started dating 🙂 🙂
Janine Huldie says
Oh thanks Clark. I missed you and your blog yesterday and so glad to see you back today!! 🙂 🙂
Melanie Chisnall says
Awwww, that's a great way to remember your first date! Thank goodness for that glass of water there, hehe! I remember our first date, we were both so nervous, I think I would have gone beetroot red in the face and forgotten how to speak if that happened to me, so good on you two! 😉
Janine Huldie says
Oh thanks Melanie and seriously those early dates when you are first getting to know someone and on your best behavior are truly the most nerve wracking for stuff like this to happen. I will say this, now I could probably dip my hair in caramel and do just about anything embarrassing and wouldn't phase me as to being nervous around him, but would definitely still get him to laugh and tease me 🙂 🙂
Kimberly Haugh Yates says
What a sweetheart…no wonder you hung onto him!
Janine Huldie says
Thanks Kimberly and I have to admit he can be a pain in the butt at times, but he is a god guy where it counts so I am truly happy that I hung onto him and we are still going strong 🙂 🙂
