Note to self:

Recently, I tried to forward an email to my husband, Karl. The email was from a group that was calling for equal rights for same sex couples in Indiana. I felt it was a good cause and knew my husband would too--so I typed "Ka" into the "To" line of my email. I mindlessly clicked on his name and quickly hit the send button.

I felt my heart drop into my chest and probably inhaled all of the remaining oxygen from the room into my lungs. I must have misunderstood what my computer was trying to tell me because I sent an email to my husband--but the message proudly proclaimed that it had sent the message to a different "Ka..." This "Ka..." is a perfect stranger and I only had her email address because we go to the same church and our children are in some of the same activities.

I know--this doesn't seem like too big of a deal. But here's the kicker: I signed it "xoxo."

So note to self: Check to make sure I am truly sending my email to the correct person.

So what's your most embarrassing moment?
