It was chilly this morning when I left the house so I wore a jacket. It warmed up by the time I left the hairdresser's this afternoon so I didn't need it. Yep, it's still hanging in the salon!

I stopped myself from doing something stupid just in the nick of time today. I was making my cakes for Easter had greased and was ready to flour the baking pans, however, I grabbed the sugar cannister by mistake. Fortunately I realized it just before putting it in the pan.

It is fun reading this thread! Yesterday I didn't send my 15 yr. old to school. I thought she was on spring break. We even drove by the school in the early afternoon. I commented on how full the parking lot was. I asked her if something was going on at the school. She said maybe some sport event. I thought that would be odd since it was spring break. I was out again shortly after the normal dismissal time and saw quite a few kids walking with backpacks on. I can't believe I thought she was on spring break but she wasn't. It's odd that she didn't know either. None of her teachers assigned work due yesterday. My 12 year old was on spring break. I called the high school and she laughed and said I wasn't the only one. All the elementary and middle schools started their spring break yesterday. The high school doesn't start theirs til Monday. No one in our car pool thought there was school yesterday either.

Just a while ago.... I was trimming Mom's fingernails for her. On her first hand, I started with her pinky finger, and worked my way over to her thumb. Then I started my way back the other way. The index finger was nice and short, and I'm thinking she must have broken that one off before I could trim it. I comment "wow, this one looks like its already been cut." Then the next finger is also short, and I'm starting to be concerned that if her fingernails aren't growing since the last time I cut them, could something be medically wrong with Mom. By the time I get to the next finger, and see that one is also short, I comment again to Mom. And then I realize, of course you idiot, you just got done cutting these fingernails a few seconds ago. Mom and I had a good laugh over that. I told her how I was perplexed they hadn't grown since the last time I'd cut them. And she says, "well, they haven't."

Last night before bed I had a half a glass of chocolate milk. I'm lactose intollerant (sp) and I paid for it at 6am and again at 9am with stomach cramps. And it's my day off. No sleeping in for me today. sigh

Does making lasagna in previously pristine white T-shirt count? I thought I'd done well - 'til my DH pointed out a few spots of tomato sauce on my SLEEVE of all places! I swear - someday I'm going to be an apron (one of those that hangs around your neck and covers the entire front!).

I've been so stressed out lately I've been doing a lot of something stupid. The best example is when I came out of the grocery store, put my groceries in the backseat of my car, moved the cart to the corral and drove off. I went a couple of miles before I realized that I had left my purse in the seat part of the shopping cart in the store parking lot. I nearly had a heart attack while driving frantically back to the store and the cart was gone. !!!! I start asking people near the place I left the cart if they had seen it and suddenly a guy walks by and says "I turned it in at the customer service desk." I've never been so relieved in my life. I've been doing a lot of really stupid things like that lately. I've got to get it together.

LOL Teach, last night I had snack bar duty at the little league park. We had to get there early to set up and one of the first things I did was dump previously used, yucky grease, wash the pan out and put in clean shortening. Dakota had gone with me to watch the game being played and her bff wanted to come too so her step mother brought her over and asked if I'd bring her home...then asked if I wanted her to bring me back an apron. I thought that was a weird question but said no thanks and puzzled over it for a bit. Sis was working with me and it wasn't much later when she walked by me, pointed to something on my shirt and said, "You'll never get that out!" Yep, big old greasy spot from washing the pan on my white shirt...now I know why bff's mom was asking if I wanted an apron! Ack, ack Twinks! I'm so glad you found your purse! I posted about my latest stupid move in the facts thread last weekend. Darren had parked his truck in the driveway (usually parks it on the side of the house, but he was unloading camping stuff) and somehow I completely forgot it was there and didn't see it. I was going to get Dakota, hopped in my car, looked out my rear window the opposite way and ran right into his truck sitting there. Luckily I wasn't going fast. His truck has a couple paint chips, can't even see them unless you're looking for them, but I dented and scratched the corner of my bumper. Absolutely made me sick to my stomach, I've got plenty of dents, scratches and door dings on my car, but nothing I've ever put there myself. I've never caused any type of damage to any car I've ever driven until then. I came in and got Darren, told him it was my fault, I never saw the truck and forgot it was there....and he said it was his fault for leaving it there and parking at an angle.

was making Caesar dressing earlier, was at the last step & knocked it over, spilled everywhere. Got it cleaned up started all over again & guess what, at the same point knocked over the bowl spilled all over the place AGAIN! At least this time some managed to stay in the bowl so just have less dressing than planned. Told DH maybe we were supposed to have Greek rather than Caesar salad !

Teach, an apron still won't cover your sleeves. lol. Better to wear a smock top or put on an old shirt over you tee. I'm great for getting sauce, gravy, etc. on my sleeves but I wear old, old tie-dyed tees, so it doesn't matter. Just adds more color!

Not me but my new Asst. that's been with me for 3 months now does or says something that falls in this catagory at least once a day. The girl keeps me in stitches & yes, she's 21 & blonde. She's a good worker & fast learner too. Today: The district sales mgr was at our office today & he noticed that on the mgmt. in/out board I had wrote "out" beside one of the svc mgr's name. He asked "where is Joe". Out of no where, asst. pipes out "Oh, I think he's on a frugal day". Sales mgr & I just look at each other & burst out laughing. She should have said "Oh, I think he's on a FURLOUGH day"!!

LOL Texasdeb. That reminds me of a coworker's supervisor one time. Raises were past due, and when they finally came out, they were to be retroactive from the date they were due. The supervisor told my friend his raise would be radioactive.

I put my frozen Stouffer's lasagna in the oven which was turned on and heated to the required 350 degrees. All I had to do next was set the timer for 45 minutes. (Hello, you have two timers and forgot both of them). I hope one hour wasn't too long. It looks ok. Just when I was thinking that this is a thread I don't have to post in today.

I have a wild hair up my hiney to make from scratch some turtle brownies for both Frank & me to take to our offices tomorrow. I decide to get smart & mix the dry ingredients in a large zip lock bag (tripled the recipe since I am making a bunch). I get all of the dry stuff in my bag & zip it up (the bag has one of those plastic zippers on it) I begin to shake it & to my horror, the zip didn't take. My whole kitchen & me are covered in the stuff Just laughed at myself, cleaned up the mess, & mixed me up a new batch of dry stuff. The "wet" ingredients were already mixed & waiting so I had no choice. I'm still smelling all chocolate & that's not such a bad thing. I'll share my story with the co-workers while they enjoy these nice brownies tomorrow

LOL!! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one whose failed ziplocks have made huge messes. And, hey! Your coworkers are lucky to have you!

LOL I can just imagine the sight. I've had a few mishaps with those bags myself. I think eau de Chocolat is a wonderful fragrance.

I was finally able to go to a meeting of a beading group I had been interested in joining. I left a few minutes later than I should have especially since I'd rather drive through the city than get on and change interstates. Lots of traffic, even more in whatever lane I was using. The meeting is a fair distance from where I live but I thought I could find it easily enough. I was wrong. I drove past the turnoff wondering, "Was that where I should have turned?" It was. So now I had to find a place to turn around and backtrack. Thought I found a way but ended up behind some retail buildings in a dead end. Turned around again found an outlet to the street I wanted. No left turn. Had to go right and drive for some while before being able to turn around. Hurrah! Found the right street. Alas! Could not find the building. A few more turns and found it. It was indeed a big building near the corner, but in my defense most of the buildings were bigger. Anyway, arrived late, apologized for being tardy but was warmly greeting by meeting leader. One woman told me to get a chair and pull it up to the table. I did as she told me to only to have her move me away from her to the other side of the table. Meeting progresses and the nice people across from me chat with me. I admired their bracelets which were absolutely beautiful and they admired one of mine. Now I did wear a bracelet I made that I am quite proud of, it always gets compliments and I like it. Later as we were discussing things, I said I was a beginner and hoped to improve and was assured by one person that she started the same way and this group would be great. I was saying how so far I had only used stretchy string to make my jewelry and took off my fav bracelet and gave it a gentle stretch only to have the dang thing break and the beads go a flying! What an impression I must have made. Talk about being the new girl! Now I need to fix it and hope I can remember the pattern because I liked it so much.

You are a good writer Sugar, I just lived through your whole experience. I hope you get your bracelet fixed.
