Okay I feel sheepish about me asking you to vote for me. But it's only because tonight when I was with the girls waiting in line to get sandwiches at our local (very crowded) sandwich shop my skirt fell down to my ankles and I didn't even know it until Claire was laughing uproariously (cue all costumers: look this way) and I had never felt more like a loser. I was wearing a large and spacious coat which made the movements of bending over and retrieving my skirt that much more awkward. And to add, I was wearing pink rubber boots. It was disturbing start to finish.
Anyway, right now I am losing big time to Post Secret. So, if you wanna cast a vote for me you can do so here.

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 232 Newer› Newest»Gotta love our Children!!!!
You have my vote!!!!
I just voted! Good luck - yours is the best!
You have my vote, too!
I am SO very pleased you shared that with us. Can I tell you how many times I have had my skirt caught in my undies, or tripped and ate it in front of a million and two people? I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who has these little mishaps. One time I answered my door wearing a bra, jeans, and a cardi. I had totally forgotten to put a shirt on. What a weirdo I am.
Got my vote!!! I am sorry but that was funny!!! I am sure not at the moment it wasn't...I too went to the door after nursing my son and my shirt was wide open! OOPS...it was my grandfather in law!
a friend, mom to 8 (7 at the time) once left the house without her pants on.
yep, that's right.
she doesn't have a blog, so i guess i'll vote for you.
congrats on the honor!
team cjane!!!! *votes*
I am sorry but that was very funny Courtney. I too have found myself in public with my skirt tucked up in my nylons, but no coat. I voted for you as well.
Connie-AZ
I tripped on my pants TWICE within 20 seconds and in front of lots of people today.
I am awesome.
what? no picture? :)
So there you go again-- it's all about you! I love it, you have my vote.
just voted...you rock...skirt around your ankles and all!
Um...looks like you are neck in neck now BOOOO YAH!!! GO JANE GO!
I just voted... and really happy to do so!!
so I voted for you of course but then I went to post secret, and you totally are better!
Is a 'Major Blog' like a 'Major Award' on the Christmas Story?
I just voted for you, and I thought you should know....after my vote, you are winning 281 to 280! Yay me! Yay You! Yay for blogging!
Okay, seriously, just wondering, was your skirt too big, or did you just forget to button it, have you lost some weight, what was the deal?!
You've got my vote! Claire needs to carry around a camera for just such occasions!
I lost my wrap-around skirt playing Four-square in the 6th grade! The indignity of it all!
Gladly!
Ahhh that's sad yet funny at the same time -- once I saw a girl in college whose pad poked out into her stretch pants every time she took a step. I should have said something to her, but I was quietly wheezing myself into a blivion of laughter...horrible. I would tell her now!
PS) I voted for you too ofcourse!
Wouldn't the pro to that be that you're skirt is obviously too big which means you've lost lots of weight?
You have my vote!
Ok seriously I am laughing so hard! Thanks for the much needed stress relief after a long day at work and a really STRESSFUL drive home! You got my vote sister sue!
right now you're in the lead!
Okay, I'm only laughing and feeling fine about it because my skirt fell off at my father's funeral a few weeks ago. I feel ya. I'm pretty sure that my dad did it for some comedy relief. It made my mom smile anyway.
You have a vote from me.
One time I ate some peppermint flavored ice cream and it tasted good.
Go CJane! I hope you win. You should!!!
Oh, what an embarrassing day. I'm sooo sorry. That's just awful. Enjoy the snow. I hope that makes you feel better.
On the bright side...if your skirt fell down it must mean that you are becoming even thinner and svelter and lovelier than you already are, right? That's the story I'd go with anyway! :)
(Good luck on the blog thing too! I'm happy to vote for you!) And I just realized this will post as my son again but whatever!
So funny!
I just voted.
I HEARD THAT YOU CAN VOTE ONCE IN EVERY 24 HOUR PERIOD UNTIL JAN. 13TH. SO I WILL BE VOTING FOR YOU EVERY DAY UNTIL THEN.
Hope you win!
Not losing big time anymore!!!
You're not losin' now!
Whoo Hoo, vote #670!!
OH MY GOODNESS! I am SO sorry! These are the horrifying stories that you have to remember forever because they will always conjure up a belly laugh from any crowd you're in! :) Thanks for always finding the joy in life! AND for sharing it!
done and done!
Okay... for the sake of humiliation... hahaha... I just voted for you and you are kicken' some bootie! :) We're coming up in a few weeks... do you want a box of fresh oranges?
Your skirt fell off! I'm hoping (through the consistent application of the ever-popular resolution of losing weight)that I could say the same thing too someday! Well...as long as it fell off in the privacy of my own home.
That is like the time I tucked my skirt into my super cool underwear that all of us LDS ladies wear. What makes that even better? I was at the movies, and continued to leave the restroom and buy popcorn. Oh and I was 6 months PREGNANT. Ugh. I feel your pain. And love your blog! So votes go to you from me.
You poor thing!! I have to admit it gave me a little giggle though. :-) You DEFINATELY have my vote!
What!!! I'm sorry to laugh at your misfortune of the skirt...but I kind of can't help it. My favorite skirt was pooped on by a seagull last summer. It. was. awesome.
Okay, off to vote!
I walked through La Guardia airport for 20 minutes with a foot of toilet paper hanging out of the back of my pants. How did that even happen? And why didn't my husband tell me?
Losing your skirt is worse, though.
I voted! Do I get a sticker?
Hehehehehe! Love the picture you painted of the awkward falling skirt and the same awkwardness in getting it up...that would totally happen to me! Voted for your great blog and it was winning! :)
P.S. The comments to this post are just as funny!!
I am so sorry Courtney!!! I am laughing with you now!!! You for sure have my vote and many thanks for all you and Nie have done for me personally!!! Even though I have never met (but hope to one day) I love you both and your adorable families. Thank you for being such awesome examples in everyway possible!!!!
How can I not vote for you after that sad/hysterically funny story. Hopefully the skirt fell down, because you're losing so much baby weight!!! Then it's all worth it.
Courtney, I voted for you and will vote again every 24 hours until the deadline.
I am so sorry you lost your skirt. I can understand Claire laughing, but I would hope the other customers did not. I think your sense of humor serves you well, though!
Love your blog. I voted.
There is no way your skirt fell down, that is the stuff of true nightmares! You should be safe from all embarrassing moments for like 5 years after that one! :) Hey but atleast the pink boots are in season!
Voted.... and giggled. Sorry bout that.
Thanks for sharing!
that is awesome! did you at least get a free sandwich for your trouble?
at least you aren't a celebrity in your town.... oh wait. sorry, but I hope some stalkarazzi had the wherewithall to pull out their camera phone!!!
then if you posted the picture you could be self absorbed AND offensive! mission accomplished!
The skirt thing is sooo funny!! I love that you can laugh at yourself.
I voted for you!! and BTW...you are winning!
sad, but funny. And as for the voting I'm on it!
Is it bad that I am laughing and had to read this to my husband?? heehee... I for sure will vote for you-You are my Best Major Blog to read. good luck
i love your skirt story.... i have my own, involving a grumpy toddler and a thong ;)
vote for pedro
Voted. You are in the lead by a long-shot.
I can totally picture the pink rubber boots with a skirt around them.
It happen to me one time in Church. Didn't have kids at the time, so it was my nervous laughter that made the croud turn and look at me. It was summer time, so no coat...
I voted for you, goodluck!
that is sooo funny- on that story alone, I would vote for you but since I like all of your blog, you have my vote- several times, no doubt!
I voted!!!! You are so sweet and funny!! I lost my wrap around skirt once and i just had nylons on under it!!!! Let me tell you, it is one thing to not wear a slip and be able to see through your skit, its another to not wear a slip and lose your skirt.....
We have laughed about a similar story and I am sooo sorry for you, but I did vote for you!
Lost my hip huggers running across my Mom's front yard back when I was a skinny teenager. Those were the good old days. This but and thighs will hold up steel now days and I only have one leg. No chance of giving anyone a peek. I think I hear sighs of releif coming from somewhere. I just voted and you know you are gonna win dear. Who else has so selflessly given up her private life for her sister. We love ya to peices. God Bless, Patty at pdd955@aol.com
I just voted and your not losing anymore.
I was once leaving the office of my best friends dad, and had a man come up to me and tell me that all the buttons in my skirt (that buttoned in the back) were unbuttoned. I wanted to die!
Not any more you're not!!! As of 11:20 pm pacific standard time, you are MAJOR winning!!
Hope you win! It'll make up for the skirt scene {hmmmm, maybe...}
:)
I voted for ya! And you're pretty far ahead now, yay!
I came out of a restroom stall with my shirt still half-way up from holding it up to fix my pants. I didn't realize until I looked in the mirror while washing my hands. Luckily, there were just a few people in there, but that was more than enough!:)
Love your blog!
Hilarious -- I know it was embarrassing but you've got to admit... And too bad we couldn't have seen a picture, if only of the crumpled skirt with the two boots. It's actually quite emblematic of being a mother, a woman, a person with huge responsibilities that often verge on the absurd, right?
You have my vote...looks like you are winning :-) good luck!
And, thank you for sharing your blog with us! I recently started reading NieNie.
Mari
Hang on to your skirt girl!!!! I voted!!
Cama
Oh I'm so sorry. Darn skirts. I've had mine almost fall down in Relief Society before. I think it just means you are loosing weight and it can't stay on your hips. :)
At age 10 I was dancing my heart out in a dance recital when my top came down.... kept dancing and never looked back. Well ok- I am still embarrassed about it- but you and me can rise above this!
Wendy
Blue lily
I voted too and you're way ahead :)
Sorry about the skirt thing, and all these comments so far are hilarious.. is it sad that I'm laughing at others embarrassing moments.. and I'll be back tomorrow to read more funny comments. :)
No Brainer. You win hands down in my book! Good Luck. (You're totally kicking butt now, BTW!) Probably because you have cuter undies than Post Secret and now everyone knows it!
Congratulations Courtney on that nomination! And I was unable to comment on the "other" post, from Jan 1 - but I hope you don't let the negativity of a few sad people affect your life and the way you live it in any way at all. You have a beautiful story to tell and are doing it well.
*I* just thought you should know that! :)
Wow - I voted hours ago and just checked the website again and you are winning by a landslide now. Ask and you shall receive :)
Sorry to hear about the skirt thing, I thought stuff like that only happened to me!
Seriously, if my coffee had been ready and I had just take a sip, I would have had burning nostrils.
Seriously.
You are seriously funny.
At 4:00 a.m. cst 1/6, you are seriously kicking them all around the block, too!
At 10.17 GMT there have been 3,157 votes cast...1,482 of which are yours!
I'm afraid I laughed at the skirt thing, but partly due to relief that it's not just me doing this kinda thing at this kinda age.
I fell the whole way down the stairs this morning, top to bottom, and have some amazing carpet burns and swelling bruises to show for it. First place I went on the web was here cos I knoew you'd make me feel better! xx
(unrulne as word verification...a bit like unruly but adding in my bruised knee!)
In college I was an in organization in which one of our projects was to usher concerts held at our assembly center. We didn't get paid, but we got to see the concerts for free!
While getting dressed for the Bon Jovi (!!!!) concert in her uniform of blouse, skirt and flats (we never wore hose), one of my co-ushers discovered that she was down to her very last pair of panties which had very little elastic left in the waist band. I'm sure you can see where this is heading....that night, as she was waking down the aisle, her panties fell to the floor. Never missing a beat, she kept right on walking...right out of her undies, leaving them on the floor behind her and pretending they weren't hers!
I always admired her for that....for being able to think so quickly, and for not getting them caught on her feet so that she not only lost her panties, but fell to the floor in doing so!!!!
I know it had to be embarrassing for you, Courtney, but at least it's good blogging material! LOL! I just voted for ya and you're WAY in the lead! Win, win, win! :)
Hugs, Anne-Marie
Just voted, it looks like you are winning!!!
I would have melted with embarassment! You poor dear! Just voted for you! Good luck! Love your blog!
You have my vote!!!Wher was the camera pink boots?? How cute. Hope you win. You deserve to win!!!
Girlfriend you are now WAY in first place!!! You rock!!!! (and so does your blog!) :)
Looks like you are in the lead now. Yay! As for the skirt falling down, that usually means that you are losing weight and that's always a good thing!
Ok, I just voted and you are winning, big time.
PS- I am so sorry that you mooned the sandwich shop. I hope that you were wearing your good underwear.
Good luck c jane. Looks like you have a strong wave of support.
-Frank
Great 'visual' writing on the skirt story. Still a picture would have been great for posterity! When I voted, you were way out front.
I just happily voted for you, cjane. My big question of the day is: Did Ollie have his camera to capture you with your skirt down around your pink boots?
Hi Courtney!
Just catching up with your world. I haven't been sleeping (like Nie) but have been super-busy with my world. Here goes. I voted for you. (Was there ever any question? Yours is my most favourite blog.)
I enjoyed reading your selfish (self-absorbed?) post. I guess just by being human we are all somewhat self-absorbed. It's kind of a natural man thing I think. I appreciate that you keep interacting with a world that occassionally calls you names. Remember always that most of us just call you blessed, rather than other names! I'm also glad that you choose to follow the advice of Elder Bednar as far as taking offence goes. Those prophets, seers, and revelators have the best advice!
Hope you have a great week and that you realise that you are loved because you are just as you are. (And not just because we want to laugh at your skirt/ankle predicament!) Keep up the great work Courtney!
I love postsecret.com ... but you had me at pink rubber boots. My kind of girl. :)
Good luck!
hi Courtney, funny story...I have one too! I was walking very sophisticately in front of Merv Griffins Yaght one evening, delicately licking my ice cream cone, in heels of course! When all of a sudden I twisted my ankle in a crack and went down face first, into the pavement with ice cream in my hair. I recoverered in lickity split time only to hear the taunts of people behind me singing "have another drink" um...I don't even drink! I guess that was one of my most embarrassing moments! oh ueah I voted for you...and have all my friends, family, and neighbors doing the same!
C - you are AWESOME! I voted. Looks like you're doing well. I hope I hope. :)
Angie
Not from what I see- you are waaaay ahead of postsecret as of right now.
And thank goodness. Secrets are not meant to be posted. :-)
Stuff like that definitely happens to remind us to not take ourselves too seriously! I voted for you and saw that you have 49.9% of the votes in your category....shoe-in!
1) Which sandwich shop?! I need to find better places to eat around here.
2) Did you at least have a slip on? I almost never wear slips, but I hope you did!
3) If it fell off, it probably means you lost weight, which I know you've been wanting to do. Congratulations!
Once I wore a new skirt to stake conference. It was a little too big for me, but it was on sale, and I had a newborn - who knows, maybe it would be tight a week later? I was sitting down on metal chair in the back of overflow when a woman from my ward whispered in my ear that my skirt had slipped down and my slip was showing. I reached my hand around to the back of my waist and gasped. My skirt had slipped all the way down and under my behind so my slip was showing from my waist to the chair. I could never look that woman in the face again without turning red. I am so so cool.
And I voted for you.
you winning, girl.
Off to vote now.
Sorry about the skirt, but at least claire got a giggle and thankfully you had a coat on, can you imagine how even more humiliating it would have been w/out it ?
I once went to the hairdressers for a hair cut, came out w/ my nice new do and went into a department store only to have one of the sales associates there start laughing at me so hard she could barely breath, finally she pulled herself together enough to point at my crotch, I was wearing tight black pants and right in front of my girls bits was a perfect little triangle of hair that missed the cape. So embarrassing, i totally feel your pain.
Haha! You're winning now!!!
You are way cooler than Post Secret! Check out the scores now! lol :0)
Cjane you better look again. I just voted and your way in front. You should run for something. Who needs Oprah's endorsement when you have us.
Their blogs don't stand a a chance! Who wants to read insults and politics when you can read about real life and skirts :)
Oh, bless your heart! I would have died right there on the spot.
I went and cast my ballot. It looks like you have made up quite a bit of ground:-)
Rhonda
You're now waaaay ahead of Post Secret.
My sister had a similar skirt/slip slippage thing happen.
She works for a bunch of Colonels and Generals and was giving a presentation and her slip, which she'd rag tagged safety pinned together, fell to her knees. She finished her presentation and skip/hopped out the door as if nothing happened.
I thought I'd pee my pants when she told me. I'm laughing now!
Oh no! I voted for you out of underwear-showing sympathy but you're totally beating everyone in this category over the head. I feel gypped!
Just voted. You are always a winner in my book, skirt around your ankles and all! I've never lost my skirt in public, but I often fall up stairs in public buildings such as the mall and spill things upon myself and others at restaurants so losing my skirt can't be too far away. I hope, if it does happen, I will be able to handle it with such grace and poise as it seems you exhibited :-) Congrats on your nomination!
I just voted! Good Luck!!! =)
You are so kicking butt (even after almost showing some!). Good for you!
girl, it looks like you are rockin' the vote now!
You are not alone c jane! A few months ago my strapless dress slid down below my boobs and I didn't notice until I was singing the closing hymn in CHURCH!!!!! It was so my most embarassing moment!
Oh, I'm so sorry about your "moment."
If it makes you feel any better, my mom did something similar in the front of the chapel at church. As she was walking to the front to teach Gospel Doctrine, her slip fell down around her ankles and she started to trip on it. She then grabbed the guy standing next to her and kicked it off into the air. She always said that if she had it to do over again, she would have just stepped out of it and said, "Who's slip is that on the floor, GEESH!"
Anyway, you've heard how cool my mom was, so there you go.
BTW: I voted for you already....and I think you're going to win. (Just a hunch.)
Thanks for that laugh! You're the best Courtney! Voting for you, of course.
I'm sorry, Courtney, to laugh at your expense ... but that story about your skirt is too, too funny! I bet Claire will file that away in the memory for years to come. :-)
Just voted. Looks like you're winning now, bigtime.
(I think when you have hundreds of comments every day, that qualifies you as Major.;-))
I voted!!! And wanted to laugh AND cry at your sandwich shop experience. Man, that stinks!!! Hugs to you!
how does one's skirt fall down?
You are no longer behind in votes:)
PS At least you did have a big coat over your clothes and it wasn't just the skirt!
Post what?? Juuust kidding. I'm sure it's a nice blog. Well, I'd imagine it's a nice blog. I hope it's a nice blog if it was momentarily beating you out. Plus, the author MUST be a nice person to wish you luck, as I saw he did while scrolling down past your 4,000 comments.
You'll leave the others WAAAYYY behind!. you go girl, in pink boots!
Uhh...as of this morning...you're winning by a landslide! Funny story...just be thankful you did have your coat on! We've all had those days....hey, if you're skirt fell off, it must mean it's too big and that's always a good thing! {smile}
You're not losing big time any more (except the skirt!).
You are totally not a loser. Maybey the skirt fell off because you are shrinking? Wish I was shrinking. :-)
Lady I don't know when you last checked the stats, but I just voted and you're at 55%. In some circles, we would call that a majority ;).
Discovering your blog has been a delight, and I was all too happy to cast a vote in your favor :).
skirts: beautiful, but extremely dangerous. yikes! I'm off to vote for you! (I would have even if you hadn't mentioned the "skirt incident" you know ;)
I voted! Gosh I wish I had a sticker to wear :) Thanks for making me laugh with the skirt story, now my day seems like it's going better.
You are now MAJORLLY winning.
You go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You've got my vote too. You are part of my morning ritual, so you must be the best!
I voted for you and am happy to do so. Don't feel sheepish for asking either...I was recently in a voting poll to win 4 aprons and I won. I asked everyone I knew to vote for me.
I can't believe Post Secret has much of a following, but people are strange.
Whatever. You're blowing Postsecret out of the water.
Anyway, you posted your own secret, and even without a picture of your skirt around your ankles, we all felt your pain!
You have like a Midas touch for these Internet voting things. You're way ahead in this one - congratulations! Very well-deserved.
Oh, I forgot to mention, I was at Ikea a couple weeks ago with my twin boys (toddlers). They often hold onto my skirt while walking. Well, one of them held on a little too tightly and my skirt ended up around my ankles. I said a word I shouldn't say and was mortified that a couple saw me with my skirt around my ankles. I'm just thankful that I had on a slip that remained up or they would have seen my undies. Yikes!
Hot stuff! Once that happened to my grandmother (the pastor's wife) in church, right in front of everyone, as she introduced the Sunday School skit. Lucky for her, she was wearing a slip. she just laughed, hiked up her skirt and went on with the show. You're in good company!
xox
Flicka
You're kickin' some "Post Secret" butt now! And you deserve it.
Can I laugh as long as I voted? I'm sure it was not funny at the time. I have been mortified at myself in similar situations. Luckily most people in Provo have similar underwear.
i
I just voted
for
Post Secret.
I will never understand the unkindness of others. :(
So unnecessary.
Hey, my word verification is retroo...is that a sign?
Honey you are kicking all the other blogs' trash and the fact that you can do that with a skirt around your ankles earns you serious points in my book.
xo
Auntie
I voted, and you are so in the lead! I hope you win--you have the best blog and it's been the best long before you got all the national press.
My slip did the same thing in Primary on Sunday! Does that mean we are losing all kinds of weight and our skirts and slips have nothing to cling to? Tee hee! Congrats on the blog contest nomination.
I gladly voted for you - I love your blog. I did noticed that you are leaving the others in the dust... apparently we all agree that cjane is the best!
Um, your're not losing anymore!
I love it! Look at the skirt incident glass half full...if your skirt fell off, it must be too big and that means that you MUST be losing weight!!! See, not so bad!
I voted for you at the Weblog Awards. You are totally winning! Good Luck!
Take Care!
Your blog is by FAR the best! I went thru most of the others and wondered what the heck - Cjane should win just on content alone!!
Oh, I'm glad things like that happen to other people too (not that I'm glad it happened to you ;). Unbeknown to me, my skirt fell down at church while I was helping my baby walk and all the young men walked by. I couldn't figure out what they were snickering at. Finally a nice lady I don't know told me my skirt had fallen down. I'm still recovering. You definitely have my vote.
You definitely have my vote--just did the deed now lol! Um, Courtney? You might want to check those numbers again--you left the others IN THE DUST!!! Love and prayers, Lori
I just had to laugh at the skirt note......I once wore my one piece bathing suit backwards (by mistake of course) at a waterpark. Went down several rides feeling like something was wrong....It took my kids to tell me....Oh well I was multi-tasking as we all do...
I voted for you!
I dont think you will have any problem winning Ms C Jane. ;-)
Oh, and when you do..please try to keep your clothes on!
...Post Secret is not winning any longer! You are kicking butt cjane! You have almost 58% of the votes! Good luck!
Sara
I think you've got it :)
I voted for you. You're way in the lead! Yeah!!!
I've never voted before, but I love your blog and just voted.
On another note, I know your stance on abortion is the same as mine and it's scary what's happening now with Obama as President Elect. I just read a commentary on this blog (http://fromthegridandbeyond.blogspot.com/) and thought you might like to share it with your audience. (which is hundreds of times bigger than mine!) Hopefully with more people informed we can stop this horrible practice. This woman really puts a personal touch on the topic. Thanks!
I have had that ALMOST happen in church while singing and my children are playing 'tugging' on my elastic waisted skirt. Scary for me.
LOL!! I love that story, it made me laugh. I love your writing style and your willingness to share such funny moments!!
Oh man. I just laughed so loud I snorted, and my husband asked me with worry in his voice if I'm alright. P.S.-I voted for you. :) Post Secret is cool, but not nearly as cool as cjane Enjoy It.
P.P.S.-I answered the door one morning and almost swung it open wide until I remembered that I had no jeans on yet.
Go baby go! I hope you win. :) - Jayne
Oh no!!!!! I'm sorry, I love you to pieces, but I just laughed so hard I almost peed! Not AT you of course but WITH you! At least I'm not the only one! One Sunday I walked around all of Sunday School with TWO HUGE breast milk leaks (looked like headlights) which nobody pointed out until I got to relief society! Another time I was nursing my little tot on our living room sofa with everything exposed to the world (not expecting anyone to come a knockin on my door) but of course who comes to call??? None other than the dear innocent Elders...those poor missionaries! I still hope and pray to this day that they didn't happen to glance through my WIDE OPEN front living room window shades...
You've got my vote ;)
Just so you know, I just voted and you are winning by a LANDSLIDE! You've already got 58.2%! Haha, those other blogs never stood a chance! Way to go!
Dude, you are totally winning now.
You have my vote and as of right now it appears you are in the lead by a large margin. That is of course if I can't read right..but it said you had more than 50% of the votes which was much more than anyone else.
I believe the term is "ask and you shall receive"? While I love post secret....you got my vote (and you are beating him by nearly 3200 votes).
Obviously CJANE has opened up a can of WHOOP-____ on the other blogs!! There's no catchin' up for them now sista!
I performed by blogging civic duty and gave my vote to CJane! You are kicking some serious tookus now! I have never lost my skirt in public, but I have split my pants! And this year at Christmas Brunch, my 1 year old pulled my top down revealing much more than my Dad and Uncle ever wanted to see. :)
You only asked us to vote because of that "selfish" streak rearing its ugly head again! AND I'm only being sarcastic! For those who made the snide comment before! Of course you have my vote. What kind of nightmare was the skirt thing? I had a habit of forgetting to do up my nursing bra...mommy brain!
LOL - Of course I voted for you! I read your blog everyday and I usually don't comment but thank you for my giggle this morning. I know we would be fast friends if I lived in town...so instead we'll be cyber friends. :)
Always,
Jana
You totally have my vote! It looked like your blog was ahead by a landslide when I was there. Good luck!!!
Funny story! I'm so glad I'm not the only person who does things like that!
I just voted and you are kicking some serious behind my friend!!!
I don't think it's a bad thing. I mean you MUST be losing weight. I can't wait for My pants to drop to my ankles...
I'm sure my mum told me to step gracefully out of it and keep on walking as though it was nothing at all.
Yeah right, Mummy darling.
I've voted.
E
xx
p.s. & b.t.w.:
Voting for you over Postsecret? Now that's love.
(It even hurt a little.)
Yes, I voted for you, of course! You are in the lead! :)
I went to check out the other blogs, and they don't stand a chance !!! U are the best!!!! I voted for you since I'm the winner of your book. (just wanted to say I wooooon!!!!!!!)
some day you will laugh at that trip to the sandwich shop!
You have my vote Courtney. You rock!
Just voted and saw that you're way ahead now! Yay!
I first read your blog after hearing about it on Alicia's "Posey" blog and have been following ever since. You are such a delight and I smile when I read about the things going on in your life.
Just stay true to yourself and you'll always be fine.
Dude, it's a landslide! Happy to vote for you - thank you for allowing me.
I'm all about voting for you, Happy New Year!!!!
Chin up! It probably means you are losing some baby weight...which is always a good thing. You could have declared it for all to know...lol
Off to vote.
You are so not a loser. I love your blog and am going to vote for you now.
My mom wore a sundress to my baptism --- a really summery one (that I now wear sometimes), with straps that tie in pretty bows on top of your shoulder.
I bet you can see where this is heading. At some point the straps came undone. And there was my mom, in church, in all her I'm-nursing-a-baby glory.
And if she ever knows that I told you, I am *so* disinherited. In fact, you might not want to approve this comment, just in case.
voting now at 4505! 3:34 PM!
You are officially kicking post secrets bum!!!!
I'll trade votes!
Well, your shameless promotion has you kicking but in the blogging contest. You happily have my vote! Your blog is one of the best parts of my day! (I do like Post Secret though - makes me feel dirty and normal all at once - how many blogs can say that?)
Deb
Also, your skirt falling down is worthy of a post secret postcard, but you shared it with the world---what a girl!
Deb
I say way to go if you are svelte enough to have clothing dropping off you like that. Here's to wishing such luck upon my soon to be postpartum self. I'm a bit envious. Now I'm off to vote.
Just voted for you and you have a smashing lead! Yay!
Wow! You're not losin' anymore!
I just voted for you. You're winning!!!
Well, you're certainly not losing anymore! Go C Jane! I love your blog!
you are so, so funny!
I just voted!
Looks like you're winning by a long shot now!! :) You've got our vote!
Oh Courtney!! One of those moments that will unfortunately never be forgotten... I voted for ya, and by the way your winning by a landslide!!
That did NOT really happen! Wow, thanks for allowing me to laugh at your expense, you are a good sport.
I also voted, you are kicking butt!
i always tell myself when my clothes are falling off that i must be losing weight... not that i think you need to (but i remember some blogging about it)...but thinking that your skirt fell off because your body is shrinking is a lot better than just being plain embarrassed... having just pulled an oprah (meaning that i gained all the weight i had previouslly taken off)i am hoping that my skirts are falling off soon... just maybe not in front of strangers and espcially not in front of children...
btw... i am so thankful i stumbled over your blogs one day i know i said that before when i was trying to win your book - but i want to say it again... you and your family are inspiring...
shalom.
Do all of the donations you ask for go to your sisters fund?
I am totally with you, CJANE! I just voted!!! You totally deserve it!!!
I have tried not once but 10 times and the page won't load correctly. I am not behind a firewall. I think Post Secret is sabotaging your efforts. I will try again when my husband gets home from work. SIGH!
I would say you have a lock on it, based on what I saw once the results loaded!
Wow! It is a landslide!
You got a comment from Frank?!! AWESOME!
good luck hun, you've got my vote. :)
It happens to everyone! I once left my toddler at a summer camp, for my older kids, and didn't notice I left him until I had driven about a mile down the road. At least your mishap can be admitted! I had to share this anonymously so I don't get turned in. Chin up, girl.
At least.... the coat covered the important parts, the pink boots are COOL, and you have a story to share for many years to come....
p.s. you are now ahead by some 3000 votes!
I just looked at the results and you are smokingly in the lead, you go girl
