What is something DUMB you've done lately?

[lilafowler]

Last week was the parade.  While I didn't get HOISTED, I had a glow on.  When H came home and took over Ellie duties my friend Peter and I decided to rent American Hustle.

Although I was so distracted because we were CHATTING (we talk nonstop when we're together kevin arnold) that instead of selecting the "Rent" option I hit the "Buy" option.  And me just being breezy was all "I know the routine, click, click, click..."  All of a sudden Peter goes "YOU JUST BOUGHT THIS MOVIE FOR 19.99!"  I look at the confirmation screen while waiting for the movie to start and I bought a goddamn movie On Demand.  I don't even know how it works.

I'm afraid to tell H out of embarrassment.  He'll think I was drunk, and while I was tipsy that wasn't the ONLY reason I made an error.

ETA:  My dad and brother were there until about a half hour before H got home.  Before anyone accuses  me of being a negligent drunk mom.

Finally gave in to DD1 last month who had been begging for Uggs for months only to have her ruin the toe on one in a month. A month. And she doesn't even wear them to and from school (she wears actual snow boots for that). $120 down the drain.

I'm doing something dumb right now. I'm watching Jesus Camp, a documentary from 2006. I'm only about 10 minutes in and I'm already about to explode.

Won three goldfish at the school carnival, went to Wal-Mart and 50.00 later we now have a fish tank. With a filter, lights and colored gravel. Something else to feed, clean and take care of.

That doc freaked me out.

We are considering adopting a dog even though I'm about to start an 18 week program that will have me out of the house most of the day, leaving daily duties mostly up to my H who works nights. We've talked about it for a long time but I'm scared we may be making a dumb decision in not waiting. But we found a dog that I just fell in love with. So, I don't know.

Tried to throw a fundraiser. Well, it hasn't happened yet, but it was a dumb decision to even try

I ate a cookie before I looked up the weight watchers points. Then I realized it was 1/3 of what I get for the day :-(

She wouldn't settle for knock-offs?

I've had my Uggs since 2008 and they are in pristine condition. But I got them when I was 18 lol.

By March I couldn't find any knock offs. She for sure would have been fine with them. I bought her a size bigger so they'd work next year too, which is how I justified it. She's normally so careful with her stuff and I stressed to her that she had to be careful with these...I definitely overestimated my kindergartner this time around. I should have just bought the knockoffs when she first wanted them, but she already had boots so I said she didn't need another pair. Oh well, lesson learned.

[janiejones]

I dropped by the car dealership to have them look over something on my car. It was supposed to take 5-20 minutes tops. 3 hours later they apologized and sent me home in the courtesy shuttle. I live the next city over. I barely remembered to grab my winter coat- because you drive right into the building at the service centre. The shuttle guy had to go grab it for me.

We got around the corner from my house and I was grabbing my shit out of my bag and realized I had handed over ALL of my keys to the tech, not just my car key because you know it was only going to be an in-and-out visit.

So he drove me to MrJJ's work. MrJJ didn't answer his cell, so I asked for him to be paged. The receptionist paged him 3x, while he was in a very very important meeting (which I knew was happening that day, but not what time). So he comes out to find out what happened and basically I look like the dumbest woman on earth. Everyone in his meeting heard why I was there. I felt like the biggest fool.

Mixedberryjam just did something dumb.

Posted a congrats to an alum the FB page of the college where I work only to find out ithat she isn't an alum, she transferred to a competitive institution & graduated from there. Luckily my boss was like " meh it's fine" but I was super embarrassed especially since I really like this person.

I wonder if you could appeal to their customer service??  They should last more than a month, unless she was taking razors to them.

Amazon has knockoffs. I'm dying on the inside that people would spend that much on shoes for a 5 yr old. Don't their feet grow like every other month?

I had curry for dinner. It was delicious. The heartburn is starting though, this will be a looooong night.

I pulled a muscle in my neck from sneezing. I can't turn my head to either side. It's more painful than the whiplash I had from a car accident years ago.

I ONLY SNEEZED!

Was just about to post this. How did she ruin the toe? I would contact CS and ask for a replacement pair.

I signed up for a trial of e cigarettes and didn't read the fine print. So I didn't cancel the free trial and the charged me $99.99 for the first month supply.

:/

I don't think you have to feel foolish at all. I would never think twice about this happening to someone. It could happen to anybody!

I actually got them at Nordstrom so I will take them in.

Huh?

[KKD]

I hit the side of the garage pulling out after what turned out to be a relatively small snowstorm (I usually only park in there during heavy snow and extreme cold). It was just a small dent and some chipped paint but still cost a nice chunk of change to repair. It happened a month ago, and I'm still pissed at myself about it. I hate having to "waste" money on stupid mistakes!

What is wrong with us?!

[wildfloweragain]

I had resigned myself to the fact that my new phone has a really sucky camera. Turns out I forgot to take the protective film off the lens.

I went out for face cream and spent $150 on useless things I don't really need. Oh well.

HI!  Ellie and I went to the mall lately so I could pick up a refill for my face serum at Sephora (FYI-it's Fresh Seaberry Oil-AMAZING) and wound up spending over $100.


LOL.


We then walked by Build a Bear and built Shutterfly JUST BECAUSE (all her previous Ponies were rewards for "big" things).

I recently responded to possibly adopting a freaking cute kitten, though I know there is no chance I will actually do it. I just wanted to see it touch it love it...

I pull my neck yawning way too often.  

The dumbest thing I've done lately was freak out that my heat wasn't working, only to realize too much later that it wasn't actually switched on.  I may or may not have opened up the furnace and then may or may not have called my dad -- who suggested checking the on/off switch....
