Ever Done Something Brilliant, Followed by Something Stupid?

My husband always took care of the finances, but now that the kids are older I wanted to get more involve and learn too, so I start taking care of the finances my self, including deposits (brilliant!)

One day I went to the drive through bank to make a deposit, I was there for 10-15 min. wonder why the lady was taking sooo long, then when I was going to complain I notice I never send the bottom "send" and she was waiting (and looking at me) for it. Then finally send it, she send back my copy and drove away, with the cylinder!

Or the time I went to make a deposit and fill the whole thing, wait on line then...Oh wait this is not the bank!
Run to the car drove to the other bank get in and then notice I forgot the money on the other bank! Drove to the other bank, look for the money (even in the garbage!) and terrible upset that it was gone.
Drove to home get the baby out of her sit...money is there!
Ran to the bank again...bank is close!

HAHAHA AWWW, you were doing so well, too!

The peanut butter idea IS brilliant! I'll have to steal that :)

Brilliant: Surprising the kids by getting them all dressed on a Saturday and taking them to breakfast (which we neverrrrrrr do).

Incredibly stupid: Getting in the car to go to said breakfast and realizing you got everyone else ready... and forgot your own shoes.... you're barefoot... and you don't realize it until you're in the IHOP parking lot.

good one.
Yesterday I was so proud of myself that I got everyone out of the house on time. I had a lot of extra stuff to remember. I had it all lined up by the door and got every single thing I was supposed to. Makeup done, pretty dress, made it to work with plenty of time to spare. Then, I pulled a Rachel! ;) Got to work and realized I had no shoes. I had left the pair that matched that dress on the floorboard of the car and could see one sticking out from under my seat. I thought I was golden until I realized I had cleaned out the backseat the day before and taken the other shoe inside. I went to the trunk and pulled out the gray winter boots I had just bought on clearance and wore then with my dress. What a fashion statement that was!

Oh I am quite smart and have some of the stupidest things come out of my mouth does that count....

friends says "there is a bottle of saki in japan where the snake venom is the aphrodisiac and the snake stays in the bottle like the worm in tequila."
I say "is it alive?" wth? is it alive? im so dumb.

going camping first time I ask some bar regulars what should I take to eat and such...they say hamburgers, hot dogs, smores, etc....
I ask "how do you cook hamburgers on a stick?"
to this day those same people 7 yers later still ask me if I managed a hotdog on a stick and that bar has a 5 fingered stick for just me...lol

Once a customer asked me for change for a 5. I asked "4 ones and......" my boss over heard and says "seriously? what 3 quarters 2 dimes and a nickle...hahaha"

and my biggest idiot moment is the doors ina restraunt. the ones going into a kitchen that say In or Out. I never got whcih to use. am I going in the kitchen or Out of the restraunt and vice versa. I could stand for hours and not know. still.......

Hahaha! You had me at "husky"! I had O. for 16 years, a half-husky for 11 years, and nothing "brilliant" could ever be associated with a husky!

Over all though--I think the peanut butter was "brilliant"!

Sneaky? Yes!
Smart? Nope!

Oh, yes, I landed a super handsome, most-wanted (by female) jock, and then I married him.

O yes.. I am the queen of amazingly stupid things. I went to the grocery store when I was six months pregnant did so good only bought the groceries we needed, milk eggs you get the idea. Get home and its a nice day. I run inside cuz I have to pee and well I left the groceries in the truck for 12 hours before I realized what I did. Milk and eggs where in the trash and who knows what else.

Gotta say the peanut butter thing is brilliant i am gonna have to use that cause keeping my dog in the tub is a lot of work.

Most recent genius affirming moment? Being asked to be part of a statewide reform commission for public education policy by the Commissioner himself. To celebrate... the hubs called in take-out AND offered to take our son to swim lessons so that I could just relax at home and we could all eat together. So sweet- he took the SUV, I had his car.

This leads to the genius-questioning moment... his car's driver side window doesn't always work, which I know (and complain about). So why did I jump into the car shoeless and coatless to pick up dinner at the local taco place? Because the take-out is picked up at the drive thru window of course! I'm sure it looked really "pulled together" when the very pregnant, shoeless, coatless woman had to open the driver's side door and step out to get the take-out from the window.

Outstanding.

BTW- peanut butter is definitely genius here!
