So, that's what we got to do Saturday and we even had to drive one and a half hours to get there! And when you're driving so far to get there, the usual 20 minute drop, nibble, hug and run doesn't cut it.To make a bad situation worse, my husband and I stopped on the way to get a thirst quencher and tickled we were! I chose diet Dr. Pepper as it seems to be a growing obsession with me as of late. (Go figure because I used to detest it.) So, I sipped away at about half of it and we were nearly there. At the last minute, I decided to take another sip.
Since I'm apparently 87 years old, I dribbled it all over my clean white shirt. Plop. Plop. Idiot. Idiot. I looked in the mirror and there were 6 brown pop puddles at the top and two in the middle.
I'm a class act.
I spent the whole party with one hand and splayed fingers trying to do a coverup dance over my shirt while the other one was thumping myself upside the head repeatedly for being a nimrod.
Jolly good days of summer fun!
(Note to self: Don't ever leave the house without Tide to Go again. Nevah Evah)

Haha. I guess I am 87 too, because I spill food and drink on me all of the time. It is so annoying.
LOL - you are too funny. so does Tide to Go really work b/c I am 87 too!
Good thing I am a "water only" kind of gal :)
Tide to Go rocks - took lipstick out of my niece's tutu right before her recital.
Don't look at Auntie - I didn't do it ;-)
Very funny - good dietary tactic though, your hands were too busy to eat or drink anything! ;-)
Well, I imagine you looked pretty suave and swanky with your hands splayed over your bosom.
See? I told you socializing is no good. Better to drink your Pepper alone.
oops....hee hee!
Don't worry though, I do that all the time except it's regular DR PEPPER for me.
LOL, the older we get the larger the hole in our lips become. I dribble and spill, and blame it on the hole in my bottom lip. heh heh. It wasn't me it's the hole.
*giggles* OK, now for the hugs!!!
And yeah, I wear stuff on my shirt ALL THE TIME! I blame it on the big boobs......
That sounds like me. I have a child so I can just look at her and smile. No one has to know.
Oh the dreaded Shelf catch! I so hate when that happens. I can't eat or drink anything without adding display models.
You are always SO funny : ).
Thank goodness I'm not the only one! Yes, never go anywhere without a Tide Pen.
I do this crap all the time! I am always dragging my purse strap across my chest to hide some stupid soda stains, or some dumb food I splattered across my chest while eating on the run....I need to just wear a darn bib!
hehe!! I do crap like that ALL OF THE TIME!! And because I have huge boobs--well--you get the picture (if not that is always the spot of my stains or spills)!!
My breasts are a catch-all for everything that I eat. I cannot go a day without spilling something. Clear liquid or a Tide Stick seem to be the best options.
NEVER wear white in public! I sweat - As soon as I had kids - I stopped wearing white in public! White shirts are beacons you know!
You caught my disease! I cannot drink or eat without getting something on me. And if you know me or are near me you will catch it. I'm such a child it sucks!!!!
it seems to me its very fashionable.. you needn't have worried at all,looks like all your graceful commenters have had just the same problem.
me too!
I'm so afraid of wearing white shirts when I go out. For me,it is usually something red or green I get down the front.
And I feel the same about grad parties. Went to one on Saturday and stayed a barely polite 30 inutes before we took off.
nice to know u.. btw, i love ur cat in ur other blog. =D
I can't wear white, even though I do. I always get dirty. It's a guarantee the fancier the event, the dirtier I will get.
Doh! I hate that... umm okay same thing happened to me this weekend, but with my caramel machiatto... We had just checked in to the lodge, grabbed a coffee and I made the mistake of trying to sip while walking. Though in my defense, there was coffee pooled in the lid, dang barista. Sounds like I should get some Tide to go too ;)
So you're saying you basically groped yourself the whole time?
Dang, I wish I could have seen that.
i personally never wear white. i just can't be trusted.
i have a grad party to go to next weekend. i'm almost as enthused about going as you are!
Two words.... travel bibs.
Note: never seen them but after your post I'm thinking somebody should market them.
Sounds like something I'd do too. ;o)
So the Tide To Go really works? I haven't tried it yet, but if it can take care of that type of spill on the spot I am DEFINITELY in! I am a Diet Coke junkie... and also a notorious dribbler...!
Murphy's Law!!
Glad to see we are all in the same boat:)
There's a joke in my family that states that I have to wear a bib every time I eat tomato sauce. And naturally, every time I eat tomato sauce, I'm wearing white. Go fig.
Hahaha!!!! You're too cute!
Don't you just hate that!
Wow...you must have been quite a site! I agree with your title...assuming you meant vodka.
Either that or you could start a trend! Think of the Dr. Pepper bottle as half full not half empty :)))
I always have an extra shirt or a sweater/sweatshirt in the car because I am a slob. I think it has to do with me talking too much. It appears it is always open and allows for things to fall out!
Tide to Go really is the miracle cure... I always say I have a hole in my lip...I'd rather not confess that I'm 87... ;)
Next time make it gin or vodka and kill two birds with one shot!...keeps the clothes clean and the visit a pleasant one!
I've pulled a few smooth moves like that myself. Nice one.
Oh, you have to get one of those Tide To Go stain sticks! We actually were using mine at our graduation party (yes, you can thank me for not inviting you!) because a little friend dropped a strawberry down her white blouse. As I was telling her it was alright, I plopped BBQ sauce on my white shorts. We took turns using the stick (I keep it in my car for incidents like yours) to remove our stains. Everyone was amazed to see how they really work!! It was funny--everyone was using it.
And no, I do not get paid for this pitch! Nor do I work for the company or anything. I'm just a loser who gets excited over stain removers.
oh no! That is so not fun!
I can just picture you trying to hide it. LOL!
That always happens to me...i am a natural KLUTZ!
:)
I'm always dribbling on myself. As a kid my Grandma would always ask me 'Do you have a hole in your chin?' and I never understood what it meant until I grew up!
Graduation parties, yes, unbearable awkwardness. My husband is a HS teacher so we have our fair share to endure every year.
I've done so many a clumsy thing.
LOL.
I'm sure no one even noticed but you. This is me attempting to make you feel better about it.
Oh, horrible! Eeeeeek! But I bet you had fun anyway!!! ♥
At least yours was pop. Mine? Poop.
Oh, that would so happen to me... You should have used the spill as a reason to turn around and head back home!
Well it could have been a wet t-shirt contest look. I'm thinking that would have been worse...
Either I'm 87 too or I just have a hole in my chin because there is almost always some dribble of food or drink on my blouse.
I do that all the time! Totally feel your pain.
I do that ALL THE TIME, except with my last sip or so of coffee. And well, usually I'm in my scuzzy jammies anyway.
Justine :o )
OMG, I totally missed you!!!
