Have you seen that paper towel commercial where the son is in the kitchen and he opens quart of orange soda and it sprays all over his mom and she yells at him and says "BILLY! What are you thinking?" then proceeds to have a water/soda fight with her son?
Well, this was my attempt to recreate that scenario:
except my story isn't as fun as a water/soda fight with a family member. My story is just plain stupidity. Let's just say that I don't recommend mixing club soda with Crystal Light then shaking it in a cup with an insufficient lid.
Since I'm on the topic of what a
Dumass I am (another commercial reference. You wouldn't think I had TiVo, would you?), I thought that now would be a good time to catch up on a meme I owe to
Jodi who tagged me last week. I figure that whatever else you learn about me that you don't already know, along with the pink Crystal Light all over my kitchen, won't really be that surprising since I continue to prove time and again that I am a Dumass. Or at least prone to a good dosage of dumass-ness quite frequently.
Ok, so here goes. This time, I'm gonna follow the rules, which are:
Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write their own blog with their 7 things as well as these rules. You need to tag 7 others and list their names on your blog. Remember to leave a comment for them letting them know they have been tagged and to read your blog.
1. I'm guilty of using exclamation points in excess. I can't help it. I like to do it in 3's!!! But will often think, oh, that's going to annoy someone, and will tone it back to just 1 or 2!! Also, I think about using air quotes a lot, but try to resist since I know it annoys people.
2. I'm extremely near sighted. My eye doctor says that she only has one other patient who has worse eyesight than me.
3. I rarely get motion sick.
4. Names of pets I've had:
Mork, Pixie (of
Pixie and Dixie cartoon),
Getty,
Lucy,
Joanie and Chachi,
Bill and Ted.
5. I got sucked into the Beanie Baby craze in the late 90s. I gave most of them away when we moved 4 years ago.
6. When going down stairs, I almost always have to lead with my right foot.
7. My currently overused words are "Freakin", "Curses" and "HI-larious". But I try to say them without the air quotes. ;)

Now if
Phin,
Ragged,
Lilli,
Rook's Nest,
Cate,
Zann and
Susan D would like to play, that'd be cool. If meme's aren't your game, then that's cool too. :)
Aside from the 2 hours I spent searching for Christmas cards I made in October, today was a pretty quiet day. I wonder if the lesson I'm suppose to learn from that is to not prepare for the holidays before Halloween. Hum.
So.
Yep. Not just once. No, I didn't learn the first time. Not once a long time ago then 'oh i forgot' and did it again 2 years later. Wednesday evening, then again the very next day. The first time, Jimmy almost refused to turn the car around and nearly made me to go to the mall that way. Not just any shopping mall, THEE mall. THEE mall that's rated as the best mall in the entire Bay Area. The next time, I was alone so I smacked myself hard then turned the car around. The good news is that on both occasions I was only 2 blocks down the street when I noticed.
