What was your "Well, that was stupid!" moment today?

[XUfan]

OK...let's share!!!! We always talk about the stupid things our spouses, kids, friends, siblings...and cashiers...do. Now, let's come clean!! What did you do today that made you say, "Well...that was stupid!!"

I have two to share today!!

1) I noticed the other day, that my 4 month old granddaughter is starting to grab for things, which made me notice that the magnets on my fridge (which she looks at a lot) were kind of dusty and covered with fingerprints. So today...I took them all off the fridge, and put them in a sink full of hot, soapy water.

Well...that worked fine for the plastic ones! But I had to toss out all of the ones from the dentist office, car parts place, library, etc. that are just paper glued onto a flat, flexible magnet. OOPS!!!! Who would have thought of that?????

2) I was making cole slaw. I had the cabbage and carrots shredded, and in a big mixing bowl. In a small bowl, I was mixing the dressing. I had all of the ingredients measured out and in the bowl. I tasted it. It was REALLY thin, and didn't taste right. I re-read the recipe 3 times! I know I put everything in there. Then, I saw it! I had put the mayo in the big bowl with the shredded veggies!!! No wonder the rest of the dressing was so thin....and tasted soooooo bad!!


OK...I've come clean. Let's keep this going. Just post whatever you did. We won't judge!!! And who knows...you might get a good laugh from reading the other posts!!

LOL! Mine involved food too.

I was making a single serving of potato salad for lunch. Got my bowl down, got all the stuff & potatoes I boiled yesterday, sit down & started mixing. Then I realized I didn't use my clean bowl.

I have 2 black bowls from Healthy Choice steamers that I use for giving my dogs table scraps. I had given them sausage with their meds this morning & Lucy licked it clean. I had placed it on the table on a run to the other room & just hadn't put it in the sink yet.

Turns out they don't care for potato salad.

How does one make a single serving of potato salad?

And meggers, noooooo sausage. I'm not one of those purists who never let a scrap pass a dog's lips. My dogs get their fair share of junk, but really, no sausage. I may be jaded by repeated episodes of pancreatitis around here, but we see it a lot in our clinic, and fatty pork products are very often at play. So NO! NO!

Just trying to be helpful, I swear.

Well, I had kind of a duh moment at the grocery store --- I couldn't find small red beans for awhile, so I saw them at the store today and picked up a bag "just in case" and when I got home... it seems I did the same thing last week. Not real interesting but it's the best I can do today :)

I left the house at 5am on a 4 hour car ride with the kids today by myself... and forgot their shoes. I left them in their pjs with intentions to change them later on in the day and totally forgot the fact that they would need shoes once we put on real clothes. Had to stop at a Walmart & buy clearanced knock off Crocs. My 3.5yr old kept saying "Mommy, I can't go inside the store without shoes... I'll look ristickulus (ridiculous)." Lol.

OK...this must be my "duh" day! LOL!!

We were waiting for our company to arrive (hubby's brothers, etc) when I started having some trouble with one of my contact lenses. It felt like sand was in my eye. So, I went into the bathroom to take it out and "fix it". Just so you know...don't do this if you've just eaten potato chips!!!!

Even turkey sausage? Swift Premium Brown & Serve. It's just too easy to stick the pill in the little bugger.

I just take a potato, add a bit of mayo, relish, mustard... If I make a whole big bowl, I'll eat the whole big bowl.

Turkey sausage is forgivable. Mostly. In small doses and only occasionally. Pork sausage would make me think you hate your dogs.

I laughed like crazy reading this. I was just telling my husband the other day I am an idiot, lol I hardly EVER buy purple hull peas in a can but have been craving them. So I bought a can the other day and when I opened the cabinet there were 4 more cans. I was like what? I told my husband I guess I must crave it every time I go shopping but never got around to cooking it and still haven't yet. I wonder if I will buy another can this week, lol
