yesterday I parked in the parking garage at work (because of snow and that way I would not have to clean off my car when I left). Well because yesteray was my later day I had to park on the ramp going up to the 4th floor. When I left work I go down and you only have to go around half way before you get to the next down ramp and don't I drive all the way around (so i went around one and a half times instead of just a half.) But I did not feel too stupid because the person behind me followed me.

Icky sick over the weekend, not at all pleasant. One a rare moment, when my butt wasn't on the potty and my head in wastebasket (I told you, icky sick) decided to take my temp. Have no idea how long I sat there waiting for the little beep before I realized I hadn't pressed the little button to start the temp reading.

Who's just making stuff up now. I never did such a thing.

I figured you'd tell the story of me, the sidewalk, and my backpack.(on our way to Mimi's house)

Some might think this is stupid but...

They are kind of flaky where I work, lots of creatives many well known. Today, I found a painting, wedged between a file cabinet and a radiator. I immediately recognized it, knew it was worth somewhere between 50,000 and multiples of hundred thousands, in fact one of this artists paintings has auctioned for over a million dollars.

Nobody knew it was there, I turned it in to the CFO who said WOW, we thought that was lost 15 years ago.

Painting could have fit in a shopping bag -- nobody would every have known --- wouldnt have had to worry about financial aid for college. They never reported it missing, they just thought it was lost forever.

Some might call me stupid -- felt good finding it.

OMG. I wish I could ever have that kind of day, Maris. Not now, not ever, can I see myself finding a painting worth hundreds of thousands of dollars that no one had seen for years. I hope they give you a bonus for your honesty and integrity. The type of bonus that will pay your son's tuition.

As for me doing something stupid, I'll check in on the rare day when I DON'T do something stupid.

Oh man Maris, I bet that was so exciting to find! Followed, of course, by a forehead slap that they just gave it up for lost without doing anything about it!

Maris, you can never ever ever count out the good Karma from doing the right thing.

Bonus or no Bonus from work, the world has a way of paying you back. You know in your heart that right is right.

Maris, if there were more people like you around the world would be a much better place. No wonder your son is such a fabulous kid. With the example you set for him, he is bound to go very far in this world. I have no doubt that he will go on to do great things.

Ok, this wasn't stupid, but my over the top, oh so proud of myself reaction to it was, lol.

Yesterday I'd gone to my aunts and when I came home, Dakota told me the toilet was broken. Darren said, no it's not, the plastic handle doodad thing (he called it something else, that's my translation) had broken so to flush the toilet you have to take off the lid and pull up on the little plastic ring thing. He also said cuz it was late and the hardware store was closed and because he had school tonight and cuz I call it the plastic handle doodad thing he couldn't get to the store til Tuesday and obviously I couldn't go buy it either, lol.

I said thats fine, it still flushes, no biggie. So last night I decided I didn't want the kids taking the lid to the tank off and hey, brillant idea, I'll get a plastic clothes hanger and we can use that to pull the plastic ring thing and the hanger can just hang off the tank. I was so proud of my brillance, walked out of the bathroom wrenching my shoulder out of the socket patting myself on the back and passed up Dakota on her way into the bathroom.

Before I even got out of the hallway, Dakota poked her head back out and said, "Hey mom, great idea Uncle James had with the hanger huh?" I stared at her for a minute and then was crushed, lol. Here I'd been so proud of thinking this idea up myself and realized she was right. Sis and bil had broken the plastic doodad thing on their toilet a couple months ago and because they're remodeling their whole bathroom and plan to buy a new toilet, hadn't bothered replacing it and have been using a plastic hanger since it broke.

Browsing through the library I found the sequel of a book and thought I'd give it a read as the 1st book was ok. Started it last night and was surprised the author spent so much time rehashing the first book. A little reminder is ok but this just kept going on and on. Finally on chapter 5 I realized I was re-reading the same book. Yes, it was the sequel but I hadn't read the 1st book and that's what I thought I had picked up this time. Good grief, how stupid could I be? I read a lot, every day and may read 3-5 books a week but I remember them. I am blaming it on being so busy getting things ready to go out of town for Easter.

Heh, Sugar, I'd laugh, but uhm, I have to admit to having three copies of one book cuz I didn't remember reading it when I was buying the next copy.

My aunt likes to use straws in all her drinks. She's been telling me for a while that she is almost out and I kept forgetting to pick up more for her. The other day I called sis and told her I was going to Costco, give me aunts grocery list, and she reminded me about the straws. Caleb was with me and I'd sent him to pick up the papertowels and when he came back he told me he'd walked down the ailse with the straws but couldn't grab them. We went down and I kept looking, finally at the very end found them and threw the box in the cart and kept on shopping.

We were running late (almost time for Kota and the nieces to get out of school) so when we got to sis' and she came out to help unload, we just threw everything in the kitchen and ran. When sis got back, she put it all away.

Jump to this morning, she calls me laughing so hard. Said aunt asked this morning if I'd bought her straws and sis said yep, and pulled the box down to get some out for her. Aunt apparently took one look and asked what the heck she was supposed to do with stir straws. Yep, seems I picked up 5,000 stir straws instead of drinking straws. I told sis all I'd seen on the box was "5,000" and "straws" which of course sent her into another fit of laughter because I'd thought they'd somehow managed to fit 5,000 straws in the box, lol.

That's funny Wargod!
My nephews tease me that I can't drink without a straw. Sadly they are right. I dribble or spill far too often without my straw!

I get liquid 'backlash' when I use straws, if you know what I mean.

Locked my keys in my car. I could see them lying there, right on the console. Just canceled Onstar two months ago, since I'd had it for three years and never used it.

Ack Kar! How'd ya get them out?

Sis can't laugh at me anymore, lol. She went to the store to buy the straws and just called to tell me that even though that was the main reason she went, she ended up shopping for Easter dinner and forgot them!
