Re: Prego Brain Stories - December Edition!

  • I was going to sauté some veggies, so I put a little butter in a pan, turned on the stovetop and then promptly got distracted and went upstairs. 10 minutes later I smell something burning and the entire main level of my house is covered in smoke! My pan was black and just billowing smoke. Had to open all the doors and windows on a freezing day to vent the place out and had to bring my kids outside to play because the air wasn't breathable in the house. So terrifying! I've never done anything like it before!
  • So yesterday at work - 40 minutes before I needed to leave - someone emails me to tell me that something messed up a report I ran on 11/23.  So I had to pull those reports again on 12/1 to see how much of a variance it is.  Well to pull this report, it takes 30 + minutes to run.  So I pulled the report and then did the analysis, but I pulled the wrong column in my table, and that got several managers in an upheaval.  Well - we figured out that I pulled the wrong column, and that we were really ok :) But, I couldn't for the life of me figure out why i pulled the wrong column, or that it was even the wrong column.  All this while I'm trying to get a promotion....so let's see if this comes up in my review. 

    Also - I keep forgetting things to do at night....like in the morning I'm like oh I gotta do this and that, but by the time I get home from work, it's totally gone.  So now I've decided to text DH to tell him that this is just so I remember to do said stuff.  lol

  • Yesterday, I kept smelling oranges. I could not figure out where it was coming from. It took over 2 hours for me to remember that I had put orange scented lotion on my belly. Then, I was trying to write bad debt, but kept writing the b and d backwards.

  • Realized this morning that I totally forgot I had started a load of laundry yesterday & left it sitting in the washer all day/night. DH has been so great about doing all the laundry the last couple months on the weekends when I'm at work, but he didn't get a chance to this past weekend so I said I'd do it. On a positive note for me, I don't think he'll let me do laundry again going forward. ;)

  • So last night I was driving when the sub went down. Partway through the drive I started to freak out because I couldn't see very well. I was really having trouble seeing for about 15 minutes before I thought to check if my headlights were on...

  • So glad I saw this.

    I only go into the office maybe once a quarter to check my accounts. I'm on extended maternity leave. I have a 15 mo. And don't plan to go back until 2018.

    So yesterday talking to my boss I COMPLETELY forgot what u was talking about mid sentense. Fan.Tastic. He probably thinks that staying at home and turned my mind to mush lol.

    Then today Im omw home from my glucose test. There was a car that seemed to be having trouble on the side of the road a few miles from my house (in the country) I stopped by to see if be needed any help. His car was overheated and he just needed some water. I knew my husband was turning right around and leaving once I got home so I told him that DH would be there in a few with water. Anyway... I get home focused on the fact I need to find a jug of water to fill. Stop the car. Grab my jacket open the door start to get out... notice I didn't say PARK the car?!?!?!? Stopped it fine but oh my goodness??!?! I decided to not tell DH that part lol.
  • I took me a minute to figure out how to turn off my shower this morning. You know, the one I've been using every day since we bought it in March....

  • @mrsyimster if it makes you feel better, ground meat is called "minced" in the U.K. and ireland, so really you're just being cultured. ;)

    went to drop my dog off to the woman who minds our dogs when we go on vacation. I've been there LOADS of times. Even used google maps to get there. Still go lost half a block from her house not being sure where it was. Had to call her and have her come out and meet me
