Practice definitely helps with the parking and going in part. You should try a dry run with your hubby - you driving, during a slow part of the day.
My way to deal with these type of things is just jump in and sink or swim. Of course, I'm the one that spills drinks, trips and falls flat on my face, drinks too much and tell people I love them (or something even more embarrassing), ect. But the more I try, the better I seem to get. I also think the more you live through unbelievingly embarrassing situations, the better it gets. Because you know you're still around and life goes on.
Did I ever tell yall about how on one of the last days of my old job we had a cookout for the whole company, in 100° weather. I sat there and sweated and sweated, and when I got up to leave, I felt uncomfortably damp. After walking all the way through the company in front of tons of people, I went in the bathroon and looked in the mirror, and I swear to God it looked like I had wet my pants!!!! I didn't even know you sweated there! No one said anything, even the bitchygirls, so maybe no one noticed. But I grabbed my jacket as soon as I got back to my desk and tied it around my waist.
So anyway, the moral is, nothing can happen that could ever be more embarrassing than something that happened to me. I am the queen of embarrassing incidents.
