woke one morning a couple of days ago really early in the morning. texted what i *thought* was the guy i am seeing. unfortunately, it was my ex-DH (who was near the top of my text list because i had texted him about our DS the day prior). it wasn't *that* bad.... it could have been WAAAYYY.... he didn't reply. i guess he knew that couldn't possibly be for him. Oooh I’ve done that. I was mortified but my ex shrugged it off. I’m sure he’s done the same to me but I honestly can’t remember. |

I used the hydrogen peroxide solution, with the BRIGHT RED DANGER CAP, to try to put in a contact lens on Saturday. It hurt. (I felt a little better after calling the optometrist's office and had the tech tell me "So, the doctor says she's done that, too...") Oh, no! Once in awhile and I have no idea why, one of my contacts might not get neutralized completely and it burns really bad. I can't imagine using it straight out of the bottle-ouch! |

Mine is hiring a so-called "handyman" to do some work in my bathroom. He did a good job on installing my shower head and shower handle. He also installed a new exhaust fan/light and medicine cabinet. I had the bright idea to ask about putting a glass tile frame around my mirror. "Yes, I can do that - I've done tile jobs before..."
OMG-this is the biggest mess I've ever seen. First of all, he used some type of grout out of a tube that looked like caulk- not even at all- some spaces overfilled and some not filled enough. He chipped that out and redid it with grout. Then he used WHITE caulk around the inside of tile. I made him scrape that out and put a narrow strip of molding- that I had to go buy and paint because he wanted to use 2 pieces that matched and one that didn't-"you won't even notice a difference". SMH... So, then he adhered it to the mirror with what looks like dark brown caulk because it's running out of the sides and feels rubbery. He mitered the corners at the top and it's pitiful...
Yes, my dumbass paid him because I thought it would be ok after he cleaned it up. But every time he comes he makes an bigger mess. I haven't heard from him in a week and I don't want him back in my house. I'll just eat the $275ish and have someone come rip it out.

Do you make sure you have 6 hours for them to sit? Every now and then (usually when I am on vacation and can stay up late and ignore a clock), I realize I'd better get them in solution or they won't have six hours. And sometimes I decide that's the night to switch to a new pair.  Only other thing I can think of is to make sure you're changing out the case with each bottle, or every other bottle (since they only send one case in the dual pack) because chemistry.  |

Eddie-n-Harley- Yes- I take them out by 8pm and don't put them in until 9am. I do switch out the vial after I use 2 bottles of solution because I buy the dual pack, too. I don't know, but it's weird. It only happens every few months.

Made the bed the other day while standing on it (I don't know why, don't ask), and decided to jump off the bed after making it instead of being a normal person and getting down gently. Well, our bed frame has some side pieces that stick out on the sides. Somehow on my two foot descent from mid air, my legs decided to tangle, and I smacked my leg off of the slat thing. Now I have a lovely yellow-green bruise on the right side of my leg under my knee and one right above my ankle that is slowly becoming less reddish purple and more yellow-green. (My husband has lovingly called it "disgusting.") |

Decided to bust up an old concrete paver into pieces to use to surround a new flowerbed. Slammed it against an old tree trunk and a shard bounced up and hit me in the shin. I have a huge bruise and it scraped the skin (through my jeans).
I was also recently in a minor panic because I didn't have enough time to make soup in the crockpot - I literally forgot that you can make soup on the stovetop... smh

Hurting myself. I know it isn't stupid but it makes me feel stupid. I ran into 3 things in 3 days, then on the camping trip I fell down and scraped my knee and cut my ankle stepping into a squirrel hole, then I cut my finger with a kitchen knife yesterday.

We recently flew to NC to see our daughter and when I was in the security line on the way home, I realized I didn't have my driver's license. I assume I lost it when going through the security line on the flight out but who knows.
Everyone complains about TSA, but I must say I've had nothing but good experiences w/ them. I showed them my Costco card and my health card (my costco card was the only photo i.d. I had). They went through my bag pretty thoroughly and asked me some extra security questions and then sent me on my way.

I do the birthday list for our building- probably 150+ people- and it goes out to every one via listserve. There were a lot of birthdays for the month. I sent it out on the listserve and a co-worker replied with "that's a lot of birthdays!" I just saw her name so I hit 'reply' and said "Yeah, 9 months prior must have been 'get busy with the one you love' month!" You see where this is going,,,,, it went out to the whole listserve!  One co-worker replied with HAHAHAHHAHA and OMG! That was also to everyone. I replied with 'I'm so embarrassed, that wasn't supposed to go out to everyone!' So, lesson learned. Don't reply to emails that go out via listserve! I just said this the other day when I realized how many people I know have birthdays in October. Of course I said it in my own home with just my husband in attendance. Too funny. I have a friend who is one of 7 kids. 5 of the kids have birthdays within one day of each other. One day, while thinking about it, they counted back and their birthday(s) are 9 months from the dad's birthday!  |

Dumb thing I have done is wear a mask continually until my chin broke out then used Retin A on it so it peels and I put Monistat anti chaffing gel on it. Much better. |

I offered to my nieces to help the kids (3 of them) one day a week with their on-line learning. Today was the first day and I'm exhausted!!

Oh, ouch!! I had my brows waxed too soon after I had a fraxel laser treatment and it really ripped my new, delicate skin off. It was painful!
I was giving directions on the phone to my BFF last night, and I kept telling her to “turn right,” when she actually was supposed to turn left. She drove around in circles for several minutes and finally said “do you mean, turn LEFT!?” I felt so bad!

I took leftover lasagna out of the freezer last night. You guessed it...I left it on the dryer all night. I had to throw it away. It was completely thawed and warm.
