  • I panicked because I thought I was late for a pretty important meeting with my boss (who is actually 2 levels above me, he is acting until we get a new supervisor) so I quite literally ran down the hallway to his office only to find out it didn't start for another 30mins. His deputy laughed at me. 
     

    I swear I'm losing my mind this week.
  • While trying to remember Adore Jackson’s name at the dinner table tonight I said “you know! The catcher! From SC! The one who would catch the ball and run with it, but he could also play defense!”

    The catcher. Face palm. DH and my brother gave me a fair bit of shit about that.

  • @DunkinDecaf - It could be worse; I live in a big baseball town, and this encompasses my understanding of the sport:  https://xkcd.com/1593/

    Since my brothers gf came with me to take the dogs to the vet I said I'd get us ice cream! We packed across the street, walked the dogs over, got our ice creams, enjoyed them, all took about 10 15 minutes. Walked back T my car, put the dogs in, then when I got in I realized I left it running the entire time!! *facepalm*
  • @knottieamusements hahahaha thank you for that. That’s hilarious. I’m not a baseball person either but I do love football, particularly college football and especially USC college football, so this was a very ditzy moment for me. I know Adore Jackson’s name. I know what a receiver is. I’m just pregnant.

  • I have tried to get out of my car twice in the last week while it was still running. It was in park but I forgot to turn it off!

  • Ouch @sliztee! Not fun!

    @sliztee That looks painful!! My sympathies. My pinkie nail finally grew out enough that I could pull it off. Not pleasant! 
  • slizteesliztee member
    Really hoping it doesn’t get to that point, @jynjer91...but at least pregnancy makes my nails grow really quickly if it does...?
  • @sliztee I guess that’s the silver lining? Hope it’s not hurting too bad :/
  • Ugh @sliztee i did that with my dorm door in college. Hurts like a biznatch!!!! And then you have a black mark on your nail that keeps moving upward until you can finally cut it off. The only nail polish that would cover it was super dark colors.

    It's still swollen and painful; I fear I might lose the nail @hellopartyof5 :(
  • I was out in the pool today and diligently kept sunscreen on my arms and upper body. Never occurred to me to put sunscreen on my thighs...well when you end up sitting on a pool floaty, your thighs are gonna get pretty cooked. Didn't realize until I was showering later tonight and looked down and saw how pink they were. Oops.

    @jemmerjams I feel your pain! I forgot to put sunscreen on my boobs
  • @macheno I do that when I'm not pregnant. Oops

    @jemmerjams start slathering on the aloe!!
  • @mamabearcj I put a bunch of body butter and iced my thighs down last night. Really helped cut down the redness and swelling!!
  • The kids and so met DH for lunch today. We went for chicken at Nando’s (Portuguese) and had about a half chicken to bring home. That was 3 hours ago. I just realized I left the chicken in the van. It’s 29C (84F) out today...

    Damn, @jennybean80, I feel that sorrow in the pit of my soul!!!
  • @jennybean80 ohhhh the worst feeling. So tempting to keep because food waste is awful, but SO not worth the food poisoning. 
  • In my defence, the keys look a lot alike! I mowed  this afternoon and apparently I grabbed the key for our 4-wheeler instead. It says Arctic Cat on both sides, and I went and plugged it into our non-Arctic Cat mower. Really crazy thing is tho that it worked! I mowed the front lawn and DH was looking for the key for the 4-wheeler later, and could only find the mower key. I went and checked in the mower, and there was the wrong key...

  • So...

    This morning, I stopped at the QuikTrip (local convenience store) to buy a giant bottle of water.  Set the water on the counter while I juggled my wallet and keys, and walked out of the store without my water.  Thankfully I remembered it before I drove away. 

    A few hours later, I went to BRU to check out the sale, and ended up buying a Chicco Bravo travel system.  The employees well very helpful in getting it loaded, but asked me to pull up to the front of the store. So I did, and put my flashers on since I was in a fire lane.  I went back into the store to further damage my credit card balance, and about 10 min later heard an announcement about a car in the parking lot with the flashers on.  Guess whose car that was?

    I’m a bit afraid that I am going to stop by my house tomorrow to check on my cat and discover that the load of laundry that I threw in the dryer is still wet.  I’m not afraid enough of that to go home right now and check on it. (For anyone who missed this part of the story- I’m staying with a friend due to a bathroom remodel.)
  • Update:  The load of laundry was dry, but when I folded it, I discovered that a pair of jeans (my favorite maternity jeans) was missing.  They were buried at the bottom of the hamper.  I guess I’ll have to do laundry soon!

    Someone else said that they did this in another thread.  At a wedding this weekend I thought someone asked me what I did randomly, instead of when I was due.  After I answered about my job then they asked when I was due.  Oops.
  • @KFrob That was me. I have now done this a total of 3 times (that I know of). It still makes me laugh every time I do it though!
  • KFrobKFrob member
    @acciocoffee Luckily it was at the end of the night and everyone had their share of booze so hopefully no one remembers.  I was so embarrassed when I realized.  
  • @KFrob I really need to start assuming people are asking about the baby. The bump is super obvious and people are starting to ask about it in public now. I don't know why I keep thinking people want to hear about my job. :lol:
  • @KFrob guilty, I've done that too :#
  • The dog almost lucked out this AM. I had to wrap a baby gift before I left this AM and in my rush, I almost walked out the door without putting the dog in his crate. He was just looking at me from the couch and then of course didn't want to move.
