JFF: What "Dumb" Things Have You Done Today?

Ignoring the dishes and the laundry because and pretty much all the chores because I just don't want to deal with them today. I know that this is a bad decision because dirty dishes and dirty laundry don't magically disappear. That one load of laundry waiting to be done will be five loads tommorrow. I firmly believe they multiply like rabbits.

I saw a large, dead raccoon on a nearby street on my way home. It was lying VERY close to a giant pothole...they looked about the same size.....the raccoon and the pot hole....and I couldn't help but think.....win/win? LOL

.

I told my husband he could buy a new riding lawn mower.

I've completely misplaced my keys. I am hoping I locked them in one of two closets in my house but won't know 'til my husband gets home. If not then I really lost my marbles altogether.

I wrestled my 14 year old son to prove I could still "put him on the ground" as he dared me to do.
Thank goodness I won.
But, oh ! I think I pulled something.

LOL

I figured out today that the internet (DSL) connection is *noticeably* faster when I plugged my modem into the newer phone jack in my kitchen than the older one in my livingroom. So that's a good thing... Too bad I've been using a sloooow connection for over THREE years.... That was dumb...

LOL...funny you should ask.....
about 30 minutes before I was supposed to leave to pick up my twins from preschool today, the power went out....in order to get my car out of the garage, I had to pull the cord disconnecting the door from the automatic opener....so I pull the car out, get out and shut the garage door not thinking that it would snap back into the automatic door opener motor....without electricity, it can not be opened again!....the problem is we have a glass door on the front door that stays locked with no key access and our back door is a sliding glass door with no key access plus it is screened in because of the pool and the screen door was locked....I called my husband in a panic to tell him what dumb thing I had done and left to go get the boys...thankfully, the electricity was back on when I returned 30 minutes later so the garage door opened -----whew!!! :-)

I just called "Laura" on my cellphone to tell her "I'd be up for a glass of wine in the sunshine when I got back from the store in 15 minutes". Turns out, it wasn't my neighbor friend Laura in my contacts, but another lovely Laura that I rarely see and who lives in another part of town. My, were we both surprised when I figured it out. (It's not my usual MO to drop in on people with a bottle of wine... it's just it's sunny for the first time in a week today! )

Ooooh! Denise P, you just cracked me up! You too Dawn.:)

I spilled a whole container of coffee grounds on the floor. Then I was getting ready and I sprayed what I thought was my hair spray on my hair. It was my sunblock. haha

Well, for me it was yesterday. I worked 2 days in a row 12 hrs each day and then went home and helped my kiddo out with her homework. So, my brain is fried. Yesterday, I had to race out of work to get to my doctor appointment on time. I realized I hadn't eaten anything that day and I was going to have immonutherapy for my allergies/asthma. I knew I needed to eat, they won't inject you if you are not feeling 100% because your reaction to the injection could be worse. I figured I had better go through a drive-thru that was super fast. Taco Bell sounded good. So, I ordered my bean burrito with no onions and a side of rice. The person in the drive-thru said "uh, we don't have that here". I thought, well what kind of Taco Bell is this, until I realized I was at Carl's Jr. In my defense, Taco Bell was next door in the same parking lot. :)

I volunteered to work for a coworker who is sick and they usually work with my supervisor (I use that word extremely lightly because they are very unfit to be a supervisor) I do not usually work with my supervisor. I feel like I have lost some brain cells after working with them all day and our "wonderful" conversations we had. :) Why did I volunteer??!!

I lost clicker key for my car.. somewhere in my house.. oh btw that was 5 months ago.. I will probably find it when I am 99 and can not drive.. so I am opening one door at a time now.. since a new key is 400 dollars.. ugh :)

Well it was not today...Yesterday we woke up with no power. we were late getting ready for school. We loaded up about the time my son was suppose to be at school. I get everyone in the van, buckled the whole sha bang. I go to hit the garage door...DUH! IT IS NOT GOING TO WORK THE POWER IS OUT! GRRRRRR. I was so mad at myself for being such a ding dong! My son was almost an hour and a half late....I was not going to try and open the darn thing by myself...that has ER written all over it!

i realized this morning i have been telling my mom for a week that my son's preschool program was tomorrow, when it's a week from tomorrow. i even had good clothes laundered and waiting for his big night. bleh!

I made a public comment at a public seminar today for which I was practically jeered. While I was turning into a beetroot and wishing the floor would open up and swallow me, I realised that I had missed some of the conversation right before my comment, and so it was taken completely out of context. Note to self: PAY ATTENTION! Lol.

I put my contacts in the wrong eyes, then wondered why every thing was blurry. :)

Oh yeah, then I was texting my MIL and my mom at the same time. My mom sent me an LOL. I sent a text to my MIL about how proud I was of my mom for knowing what LOL even meant....except I sent it to my mom. She was not amused.

Ooh, pregnancy has me and my memory and common sense fighting. But anywho...I poured a bunch of dish liquid in my dish washer. Yeh, closed it and THEN thought, this is going to be bad. Suds everywhere :) Tried to spread butter on my waffles with a fork, looked at the fork, knew it was a fork, but still fought with myself and got mad that my butter wasn't spreading and kept getting stuck on the fork...THEN it dawned on me, well no wonder it's not spreading, I'm using a fork. All day at work, my mouth mind was moving faster than my mouth...struggled to get my words out while leaving voicemails...see, look at my words, still messing up. I meant my mind was moving faster than my mouth...or I don't know. Now, it doesn't make sense. Boy, a margarita would be nice, lol! But illegal in my body right now :P

I am going to be 39 weeks pregnant tomorrow and am preparing for a garage sale this weekend :)

I ate 4 (count 'em, FOUR) chocolate chip cookies. That was DUMB! And I knew it!

I do the SAME dumb thing every day...I get sucked into watching Casey Anthony coverage on "In Session" and then later On JVN and Nancy Grace. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?
