My most embarrassing moment...#Blogtober14 Day 29

Only two days left of #Blogtober14, I can't believe it's almost over and that I blogged almost every day for 31 days straight!!

I think today's prompt could get quite interesting so head over to Helene's blog to find some more entertaining posts.

I have had so many embarrassing things happen to me in my life, mostly because I'm a complete ditz, so a good giggle is never far away, luckily I've come to accept it, and so have mine and Riaan's families.

The time I ripped a light fitting out of the roof...at a bar!

Let me start of by saying this probably would have been much less embarrassing if I had been a little drunk, but unfortunately that's not the case. A couple of years ago we met up with a couple of friends at a local bar, it was a rather busy evening and the bar was buzzing, everyone was in a good mood and the music was good, there was a live band playing - this resulted in me and my two best friends dancing on our chairs, and then on the table. We had only had a drink or two each, it was still early in the evening (I promise!!).

So there we were, shaking our behinds, waving our hands in the air, really enjoying the music and having the best time, the song ended and we promptly hopped of the table, we were so busy laughing and singing that I never realised my bangle had hooked onto the light fitting - I wouldn't call it a chandelier, it's one of those old school pub lights that takes three globes (you can see in the background of the picture of hooligan Caitlin below - taken on the night) - anyway, as I hopped off the table, hands still in the air the light fitting ripped out of the ceiling and we shrieked in shock, then we had a good laugh, I untangled my bangle from the light and apologised to the waitress.

Riaan and I - We've changed alot!
Hooligan Caitlin
It was so embarrassing, we moved to another table outside, where no one had seen what happened, people kept laughing at the situation and making comments the whole evening.

We still laugh about that evening to this day, these are the things memories are made of after all!

Superstitions...#Blogtober14 Day 28

Things I am superstitious about, there are a few...Friday the 13th is definitely one of them! Crossing paths with a black cat isn't...more on those two in a few.

I think there are certain superstitions that are a load of rubbish, but some of them I stick to, just because it makes me feel better.

Like I said I'm not superstitious of black cats, I have one, Arya, and she is the cutest, most playful little thing. I love her so much, she makes us laugh all the time and we haven't had any bad luck since we got her (Touch wood!).

Here are a few of the things I am superstitious about:
  1. Saying touch wood & preferably touching something wooden in order to avoid tempting fate after making a favourable observation.
  2. Friday the 13th - My brother has broken his leg and been involved in a car accident on Friday the 13th.
  3. Making wishes - I believe in making wishes on dandelions, eyelashes, birthday candles (only if you blow them all out in one breath), wishbones and shooting stars. And you can't tell anyone what you wished for!!
  4. Good luck - Finding a four leaf clover and crossing your fingers, apparently these bring good luck, and for some odd reason I believe it...
  5. Bad luck - Walking under a ladder or breaking a mirror, these are things I try to avoid.
  6. Frogs/toads cause warts - Gross, anything to not have to touch a frog!!
  7. You must put money in a wallet/purse when giving it as a gift, otherwise the recipient will have bad luck with money.
That's just a few, but the ones I believe most.
YAY!! I'm back on schedule!!  Can't believe we only have 3 days left of blogtober, this makes me quite sad, I have made so many blogger friends along the way!
