National Pick on Nichelle Day

I know I post my life on Facebook, but I think I should share with the Blog world as well. I have found that I frequently have been having some DUH moments or Oh wow Nichelle moments. I swear its all unintentional, and these moments will probably turn into life tips for my future family. But until that time I'll deal with the RED face-ppl laughing and quoting me. haha.

But before my long story a great example, I had one last Thursday. so it is Wedding Season. Love my friends that are enjoying their newlywed Bliss :D but I made a comment that's on the list of "Are you pregnant?" i have/had 2 co workers that were engaged. One Still is. but it was at a Family fun night and we were all sittin around talking and someone starts talkin about twilight, (why they all think I'm a Fanatic i'll never know) lol.
but we got on the topic of love, and so i turned to the two ppl i knew were engaged and the first says yep still on and I love her, and the other...well...she looked me square in the eye and said "uh, Nichelle I'm not engaged anymore. " Talk about worst moment ever. she was giggling trying to break the death silence, and ofcourse my face goes BRIGHT RED. then everyone busted up laughing---ya i'll never forget that.

So...i have to write about this because this seriously was like the funniest day ever, i think i set the record for most blonde moments aka "uh... duh Nichelle!" moments. Well if you didn't know i had the taco sale at work today, and i was kind of the co-partner in this fundraiser, anyways so i had a billion things to do to get this started and be successful. well I showed up on time and what not, and already the staff were hard at work. I had to bring 2 slow roasters to keep the beans heated, and i brought that. so already i was doin good. this is what my list looked like:

1. put the beans in the roasters
2. Make signs so people know where the sale is
3. make another sign to put on the building outside saying " Indian Tacos here"
4. Cut Onions

the general list. so major multi tasking today. well luckily my awesome teens were there so the onions i passed to them, and as the clubs official sign maker i started with that.

I was so proud of myself, because i got the 2nd task done, it was in large bold letters and looked good. so i took those signs to the end of the street and hung them up. So check that was done.

came back and did the sign for out side. BAM--check that was done and hung up.

next the beans (this is where the fun began.) well in a slow cooker there is the heating portion and then the tray that goes in (both black) so I thought the tray was in it, and i start to pour the beans in, and as i started to mentally check it off Lata sitake (my co worker) comes out with the tray. my face turned bright red, and if u know me u know what that looks like, everyone busted up laughing. so we got it together and we were just laughing about it. u know no big deal simple mistake.

WELL we needed more ice so i left to go get it, and when i came back I tested the signs out. Yeah...u couldn't even read them. the sun was so flippin bright today. the white poster board reflected white. so NO ONE would know what was going on...so i was like shoot, i have to hurry and fix that. as i pulled in to the parking lot, some chuckles came, and obviously i wanted to know what was up, i thought i ran over something or one of the teens did something. Lata approached me was was like nichelle come look at this sign on the wall what's wrong with it....I read it, and the red came back to my face. it read "INDIAN TACOS HERC"
yeah...one simple line can make a difference, as soon as i realized that, a roar of laughter came from staff, teens, and customers. ofcourse i'm cool about it and shake my head cause the list just keeps addin on. that's what the pic is for... so the joke was we were selling Nichelle's Hercules Indian Tacos...haha...

So because i've worked for the club for so long i have a billion staff shirts and today i had to wear this particular one, little did i know i would be teased for that too! so this shirt has this bird on it, like phoenix, and graffiti distorted art on it...and on the sleeve the tribal seal with like a ink splatter on it. well its just a shirt to me, but during lunch as we ate the tacos several ppl which shall remain nameless!! haha. start teasing me for it. saying wow nichelle, what's up with your shirt, it looks like some one shot you in the arm, that splatter looks like blood. and the splatter on the front of your shirt looks like the bird crapped on it...haha another roar of laughter...
then the day was ending, and i was outside with the kids and they were throwing the football around and kicking a big kickball, well i've been hit in the back of the head with this ball (on accident, cause i don't know what Nichelle head's up means) well it came towards me and out of instinct i kicked it...well my shoe goes FLYING across the parking lot and of course lata is standing right there and BUSTS up laughing again...

lastly, went to the movies with the teens saw VALENTINES DAY. (awesome movie) and george (co worker) every time Taylor lautner popped up he'd turn around and say " Nichelle! its your Boyfriend!--ohp nichelle dont look he might take off his shirt!" comments like that. of course i'm not going to lie i think he's hot, and my face indeed turned red.
so for everyone who missed the taco sale you missed out on the NATIONAL PICK ON NICHELLE DAY. for those who were able to take part in this momentous occasion did i miss anything???
