Love make you do silly things? I knew that I was a goner and thought Justin hung the moon when, in the first two weeks of dating, I locked my keys in my car THREE times. Also, normally a very good cook, I made Steak Au Poivre for our "first dinner", paintstakingly having choice filets hand sliced only to misread the recipe in my nervousness and put almost a WHOLE bottle of peppercorns on two steaks, both sides. It was too hot to eat :)
What about you girls? Anything silly or just plain embarrassing? Mine were a little of both

Here is one that you won't believe......in our early days of love, Tom and I went to the beach for the week-end with three or four other couples....we had just begun to realize it was "serious". One morning, as we were all lying in the sand, a beach umbrella came blowing down the beach like a fury, all out of control, and hit me on the back of my thigh! Then it continued blowing down the beach like in a whirlwind. Thank God I was lying on my stomach. But, immediately, a welt arose on the FRONT of my leg. That was weird to me, and the back of my leg was open and bleeding. Thank goodness of one the other girls was a nurse.
Well, three weeks later, the wound in back had healed and still the front of my leg was knotted and swollen and now purple......so off to the doctor I went. The doctor opened the lump and to my astonishment, withdrew something silver. He immediately said, "have you been shot?" I said NO! WEll, it turns out that the metal tip of one of the umbrella spokes came off when it struck me and went all the way through my leg and almost out of the front! Now keep in mind this was all happening while we were falling in love, and I was trying to make light of being in pain, etc. So, after the doctor appointment I get back to my apartment, and Tom comes over, and I show him the umbrella tip, and his face literally turned white. I will never forget the expression on his face. Later on, at Christmas, he took the umbrella tip and had it mounted on a purple heart complete with ribbon, and gave it to me as an award of valor!!!!! It said "To Jeannie, for courage in taking a shot in the line of fire for the troops on the beaches of St. George." I knew he was a keeper for sure.

Thanks for sharing, girls. I just remembered how "love sick" I was, and how clumsy and goofy, too. I've always been very much in control of myself, and it was TOTALLY unlike me to do those things....I forgot to mention that we went to a new trendy bistro place for lunch one day, in Northside, Ohio, which is like the "coolest" place (sarcasm) and you have to be super cool to be there...well, there was some sort of wall type thing outside the bistro. I sat on it all cutesy like waiting for him to give our name to the host, and then I just fell over the back of it and onto the ground. He acted like he didn't notice, though I KNOW he and everyone else saw me ;) Boy, both my ego and my bum were bruised!!!!
Like you, Rebekkah, I've done plenty of dumb/silly things since, but I think it makes life exciting :)

I'm usually a very outgoing, outspoken person, but when I started dating my hubby I felt like a shy liittle girl..lol I think the shock of being treated like a lady got to me and I didn't know what to say. We had known each other through work and I was always talking and goofing around, but when it became him and I as a couple, I clammed up! It took me a few months to let it all sink in, but I'm a big mouth now again though..lol

My embarrassing moment came just a week after I began dating Erik. I called him from the top of a 10,000 foot crater I was backpacking across and down, to tell him that I had decided to give up walking and preferred to sit and visit with him, what a dumb thing to do- so wimpy, of course he did help me get back on course and has done it many times since. Now it was my very first backpacking trip and I was likely on mile 15 of 22 in 18 hours, but really...did I have to call to announce I had given up! Having given birth twice since I can see how ludicrous this announcement was. Since then I have done stupid things too numerous to mention and he always obliges by doing something equally embarassing- I am sure this is to keep me from having all the fun!

i do remember being pretty 'ballsy' when i first met hank and knew i WANTED him. he was the 'most eligible and handsome bachelor' at justice .. and had young women finding all kinds of excuses to go into his office to flirt with him.
i'll never forget the first day i walked into his office .. and there must have been a dozen adoring "chick-lets" standing around .. blushing .. and vying for his attention (WHICH HE GAVE TO ALL OF THEM!!) ... i was OLDER than all of them .. (WISER TOO!) ... i knew it was NOW or NEVER .. i simply smiled a big smile at them .. and said: 'o.k. kitties .. time to get outta' the cat-box .. momma cat is home!) ... HANK LOVED my spunk .. and we were an item from that moment on. and this was the early 70's!
sometimes when i would be on a crowded elevator .. he would enter the elevator .. and pretend he didn't know me .. he'd fall to his knee .. take my hand and start singing love songs to me!
i swear .. i think we tried to 'out embarrass each other' .. and all we did was AMUSE each other.
Hank was once giving a speech on the ENVIRONMENT ... before a huge audience on a trip he made for the Department of Justice. he took me with him .. and i went shopping .. but finished early .. and decided to go hear the end of his speech. i slipped very quietly through the back door of the auditorium .. but of course, being up on stage .. he saw me .. he STOPPED his speech in the middle of a sentence .. put his hands over his eyes and said in a loud voice towards the back of the auditorium. "Yes, Miss? May we help you?"
NOT to be outdone .. i threw my shoulders back .. swung my hair seductively and said in a 'breathy voice' ... "Room Service said you wanted some company!"
The audience ROARED!
it's been such fun living with this man!

jonni .. i remember fixing 'thanksgiving' dinner for 'honey husband the first' and his parents. i'd never cooked a turkey in my life! and was commenting that i hoped it was o.k. (ha! later, his mom told me it was waaaaaaay undercooked!) but my fav part of the meal was when she told me not to worry because she knew a woman who baked a turkey and forgot to take the neck and gizzards and guts out of it! i thought: UH!OH! at about the same time she dug the guts outta' mine!
then there's the time i forgot to put EGGS in my first (and only) quiche i ever cooked! and my ONE PIE .. that had to be served out of a pitcher it was so runny!
ahhhhhhhhhh .. those were but 'previews' of coming attractions. i honestly don't think my 'man' had anything to do with these mishaps though!
good to see you back on the farm gurlfren .. hope life at work has slowed down a little for you!

I remember one of our first dates, walking into a movie theater, coming into a dark room from the brightly lit foyer...instead of waiting for my eyes to adjust I took my seat. Well... it was still folded in the upright position and I sunk to the floor like a stone. I was mortified. I've done plenty of worse things in the mean time & he's still here after over 30 years, so I guess he's fearless. 
I will sing at the top of my lungs, and I will dance even if I'm the only one...
