It was a blonde week last week
Not that I'm dissing blondes
I myself was blonde
Before I became brown and grey (how did that happen?)
So, what all went wrong?
Well,
I was reminded that to make coffee you actually need to turn the coffee maker on

and just because for the last 22 years I have planted my petunias and marigolds in the second week of May, that is no guarantee that I will always be able to do so without the frost wiping them out the first night in the ground (they're supposed to be frost resiliant, right??)

If you send off an order in the mail and enclose a check, it only works if you actually write something on the check.

Your can't get the sum of $23.00, $40.00 and $1.34 out of a $60.00 ATM withdrawal
***
When measuring a closet for shelves, measure the width of the top as well as the bottom, just in case you have a crooked house

Make sure ahead of time where the Friday night card game will be, or you may wind up with 5 friends on the doorstep of your embarrassingly unclean house with no snacks prepared for the evening (thank god for the laid-back, whatever works attitude of us Cariboo folks!)

It's not a good idea to wear red when hanging up the hummingbird feeder for the first time this year

After three separate occasions of inserting my chip card the wrong way, I realized that the hologram is not the chip

If you play bridge with significantly older people, their absentmindedness is contagious

I'd be ashamed of myself if I couldn't laugh at myself.
And allowed others to laugh with me.
Sounds like a pretty normal day to me!
ReplyDeleteI love this, thanks for the laughs!
ReplyDeleteNow that I live in Western PA, I've learned that I can't put flowers outside much before Mothers Day. That seems to be the magic point on the calender, and even then, there's no guarantee. However, if we get snow, hail, torrential rain, floods, locust, plague, I don't care...they're on their own.
ReplyDeleteOh wait, maybe it's children I was thinking of just then.
To answer your questions: I velcro my dogs to the stairs to make them sit that still for a photo. And, that is a photo of a Scottie and Scottie pup. When that small, they don't resemble what they'll turn into at all! I agree with you there. Oh wait, maybe it's children I was thinking of again! ;-)
Oh, absent mindedness..... that's so much me right now, but guess I'm not alone. Love your funny description and the Irish blessing.
ReplyDeletesmiling... dont we all have those days :)
ReplyDeleteI chuckled all the way through your post, recognizing myself in some of your reflections! Thank you for dropping by my poor, neglectd blog and commenting on my cutting-the-TV-cord post - it was probably just as shocking to ME, when my well-meaning hubby took action. But he fixed it so we could use it, but the kids couldn't. Is this an example of "Do as I say, not as I do?!"
ReplyDeleteLaughing as the day draws to a close and remembering some of my own "blonde" moments!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you made your way to my blog via Mrs. E. It's always so nice to make a new friend. Especially when we can laugh together. Yes?
ReplyDeleteI am incredibly amused you survived all this -- and in the bargain, given me a much-needed grin!
