Well, I was pulling weeds this afternoon and when I stood up I cracked my head on a tree limb. A lump formed. I took arnica and within an hour the lump went away. I always keep arnica on hand.

I will step up, just for you Doc. Today was my first full day in my new office. I was there alone. I had the BB feeds going on my computer and the tv was playing the live Senate Floor Session as I was unpacking boxes. I was waiting for the computer guy to show up and connect us to the printer. I hear this noise and can't figure out what it is. The computer? The TV? Their phones? My phones? My cell phone? Huh? When it rang the third time I realized it was the intercom and the computer guy ringing to be let into the building . . . I felt so dumb, lol.

ok, I am finally a member here! Bill went with me to the market. I asked him to get the neosprene while I went to get candles. We are in a big hurry to get done and home. I get candles and rush back to the medical isle (this is a BIG food for less store, isles are long) I see Bill down at the end of the isle so I walk down to him, while looking at stuff on the shelves. I get up to him and he has a package of tweezers in his hand, I snatch them out of his hand and while still looking at the package say 'what are these for?' and an unfamiliar voice says 'they are for me'. It startled me and I look up to see why Bill's voice is sounding so different and..........it's not Bill! The man was looking at me smiling and I put my hand on his arm and said oh I am sooooo sorry I thought you were my husband!!!!!! then I started laughing so hard and the man just looked at me like I was nuts! hahahahahaaaa Then I got a better look of 'Bill' and not only was he about 20 years older than Bill but he was about 4 inches shorter!!!! hahahahahhh then I was totally embarrassed and told Bill let's get outta here before he sees you and really thinks I am some crzxy white girl!!!! LOL!!!

the stupid thing actually happened on Sunday. I am a smoker but do not smoke in my apartment so everytime I go out to smoke I have to bring my keys, so Sunday morning I go out in my pajama's with my keys and my smokes in my pocket, as I was finished my roomate was going out to run some errands, so I go in through my keys on the counter and do a few things around the apartment. about an hour later i decide to go outside to smoke again my cigerettes are still in my pocket of my bathrob. go out the door shut it behind me (my door is locked) and my keys are still on the counter. I had to go to my neighbors house to use the phone and called my roomate, she said she was just getting to wal-mart and would be home shortley. about an hour and a half later i called her again and she said to me "oh I forgot all about you, but i will be home in 20 minutes."

Does almost count? I wrote a check at the store today, and for the life of me I had no idea if it was 2009 or 2010. I really had to stop and think about it. I almost wrote 2010. I went ahead and wrote 2009 but it felt so wrong.

stupid month here culminating in feeling really stupid today. i dropped a can of pumpkin on my foot and kept hiking on it for the past three weeks. having a wedding trip planned in mid october i thought to self, "self, isn't that foot just hurting a bit too much for you to be stalking here and stalking there"? and self decided, hey, why not go in to see just why the heck you are screaming with each step. and, lo and behold, the foot was chipped and today i'm hobbling around in a cast which may or may not do the trick for healing before the aforementioned trip. there is a lesson here pertaining to stubborness and stupidity. heed it, fellow posters.

Dfennessey, I soooo feel your pain. About 10 days ago, my husband woke me up way too early to say he'd been bumped by another car in traffic and ended up head first into the wall on the highway. He was unhurt, but the truck was toast. He wanted to wake me up so I could be ready to pick him up after the tow truck arrived. I started the coffee, and looked outside. It was raining, and my cigarettes were on the patio table. I wanted to slip out and grab them without letting my dogs out, because I didn't want them to get muddy. I slammed the door behind me....and it was locked. I was completely locked out with no hope of breaking back in. Luckily I had the phone in my pocket so that I could call DH and tell him he was gonna have to take a taxi home! The tow driver was really nice and gave him a ride home. I waited outside in the wind and rain for about an hour and a half in my pajamas and soggy slippers. The thought of hot coffee inside just about sent me over the edge!

The stupid thing of this week...started playing Farmtown and other assorted things on facebook. So addicting and fun. And time consuming. Bicbicz so funny in a mean kinda way. Lol. I was thinking to myself while reading Dfennessey's story it's a good thing she wasn't still in her bathrobe.lol Dovez I did the same thing. Walked on my broken foot for 3 months before I got the correct diagnoses. Hope it heals.

I just don't understand FarmTown. My brother and his wife and son are addicted to Mafia Wars. I never could figure it out! LOL

I did something really stupid - not today, but recently: My birthday was Friday - my man gave me 3 lg sz bottles of smell good on Thurs. as an early birthday present. He was so proud & shared it with me that he got each of them for $20. The JCPenney store he went to is not going to carry "smell good" stuff anymore so they had their inventory marked way down. OK, he spent $60 on my b-day. Well, I'm off from work Friday w/pay because it's my birthday - HE brings me 2 more gifts. They totally look like costume jewelry things that I buy for myself (especially how they are packaged). I'm gratefull but start getting pissed off becauce I always spend more on occacions for him than he does for me. I decide to confront "him". It turns out that the "costume" jewelry is not costume! He shows me receipts - why did I hurt this person? I am feeling so shallow - - - but, that "real" jewelry he bought at clearance prices, isn't really jewelry I would wear. It's pretty gaudy if you want to know the truth. I hurt someone's feelings that I really care about. I really don't need material things to care about this person. Do I wear this "stuff"? I mean, it's reject stuff from their inventory at the JC Penney store he went to. I hurt his feelings!

Texasdeb, he just needs more training. Next time, take him shopping and show him what you like. Let him take notes if necessary. Or, tell him how much you would enjoy gift cards! It is not the end of the world. Laugh together about this and then use the new system. ETA: Forgot another method. Shop together and pick out several things of various prices. Leave all of the items with him and go away. He can then choose how much he wants to spend.

Texasdeb, tell him you're going to save his presents and wear them only for a special occasion. The next time he comes over, greet him wearing the "smell good", the jewelry, and nothing else. Tell him this is the special occasion you had in mind.

Can you salvage the pieces he did buy by having them reset or redone? My mom took my grandma's "dinner" diamond ring and had 2 earrings made out of the gaudy stone; she then had the gold melted into a freeform style pendant. It was beautiful, and although it was an additional, it was worth it in the end.
