No problem, I would do errand s around the pick-up time. Fast forward to 4pm. I am watching out the window for the kids to get off the bus. See the neighbors kids, but not mine. Call the neighbors home,no my kids were not on the bus. Start to panic. (still not remembering I was supposed to pick them up) The phone rings, it is the school principal,they are patiently waiting, would I mind coming to get them?

I hate arriving late as you have to hunt for your seats whilst everyone looks at you. So, under the watchful eyes of the cinema we hunted in the dark for our seats which typically were right in the middle of the cinema and middle of the row. We politely asked everyone to get up as we moved to our seats, I was so keen to get out of everyone’s way that I sat straight down.....forgetting they were fold up seats. I ended up flat on my bottom covered in coke and popcorn, the people in the cinema laughed at me and my friend just looked horrified saying "i can't believe you forgot the seat! quick get up!"....need to remember to pull the seat down next time!Jodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02154469345864225116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8226835730807114409.post-55801416993449354052013-05-02T21:57:21.544-06:002013-05-02T21:57:21.544-06:00I totally just had my blonde moment!

Well we're cutting away, and I am making thank-you cards for my daughter's 1st birthday party. Suddenly my cricut stopped cutting right. It was going crazy! So I was looking all in it, trying to see if there was something jammed. Finally I got up and went to another girl's cricut, because she also has the expression 2. As I was examining hers, I noticed how clear her touch screen was. I even commented, "Man, your screen is crystal clear. Mine is hard to see anything." She looked over at mine, and said, "Um, that's because you still have the protective cover on it." I went to mine and peeled the cover off that I didn't realize was on there! So this entire time I've had it (six months), I've had this stupid cover on it, thinking what an awful touch screen it was! hahahaha, needless to say, everyone had a laugh about it. And I have a very clear screen now!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15760241762665998192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8226835730807114409.post-54715038626933661462013-05-02T14:04:58.313-06:002013-05-02T14:04:58.313-06:00I was in Durham yesterday visiting with my younges...I was in Durham yesterday visiting with my youngest daughter. She was going thru clothes to take to a consignment store. We loaded up her car and left to go to lunch at a Chick-Fil-A. We go in, have lunch and leave. We cross the parking lot to the car and are standing beside the grey Honda Accord. She is trying to use her key to unlock the doors. It is not working - now what. She keeps trying while mumbling that maybe the battery has gone dead. I finally look in the back seat - it's empty!!! I said something to Rebecca. We then notice that while this car is a dark grey 4 door Honda Accord, this one has a sunroof - hers doesn't and the back seat is empty! We both sheepishly walk away. All the while as we walk to her car -parked right across from the door to the restauant, she is saying that she hopes nobody notices. I am laughing hysterically while Rebecca is telling me to be quite! As we leave the parking lot, the other dark grey Honda is also leaving. We still wonder if the people thought that we were trying to break into their car. Very observant mother and daughter duo here. I wonder if it is safe for us to be out alone without a chaperone!Donna Oateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05432366494752059701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8226835730807114409.post-51406946858247091512013-05-02T08:15:04.410-06:002013-05-02T08:15:04.410-06:00I was to make dinner for a very special friend aft...I was to make dinner for a very special friend after her recent surgery. As I would be at work all day, I decided on a crockpot recipe that could cook all day and I could just finish it up when I got home. Well, I got all the ingreadients into the pot and double checked to make sure I had turned the crockpot on before I left for the morning; all proud of myself for thinking and preparing adhead. When I stepped into the house that afternoon, there were no delicous smells as I had expected. Upon checking, I discovered that though I had turned the crockpot on, I had not plugged it in. I therefore, had to come up with Plan B for my friend's dinner that night. (By the way, Plan B was my family's dinner, so we ended up going out for dinner that night.)

So I stopped the first person I saw to ask if he would kindly take our photo. He politely said yes. And THEN I noticed he only had one arm. So my husband and I awkwardly posed while he fumbled with my camera and attempted to take our photo. Lets just say we don't have a single photo of the two of us together in Vegas.

So that we would each take one of these miracle pills, we put a M on the top and a P on the bottom. M for my name and P for his. When the M is on top, it's my turn to take the pill and when the P is on top, it's his turn. This worked well for the first day. On the second day neither of us could remember if we had taken the pill that day or not.....Not necessarily blonde, but "old timer's" for sure.Barthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18220326802021635130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8226835730807114409.post-20346469235703485062013-05-01T18:59:20.369-06:002013-05-01T18:59:20.369-06:00LAST NIGHT!

I find it really strange that they have somehow changed their scrolling so that when you click the left it goes to the right and when you click to the right it goes left. Realize there is nothing I want to watch on and turn off the tv. Look down as I am setting the remote down and realize that I have been holding it backwards, so that it is pointed at me and not the tv.NinaNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05733667248299666380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8226835730807114409.post-35416190327003060422013-05-01T18:53:47.998-06:002013-05-01T18:53:47.998-06:00How's this for blonde: I create cards all the ...How's this for blonde: I create cards all the time for contests and for Operation Write Home, but can I get cards made for local friends to celebrate their birthdays on time?

But I did have a laugh at my two adult children who had booked flights to visit their grandparents. My daughter could not figure out why it would take six hours to fly there and only two hours back. My (21 year old) son then suggested it was probably just strong tail winds. She phoned the airlines, who then told her there was a two hour time difference between the two provinces.

Last night I innocently asked my husband during dinner while friends were over why the phone in my office was not working and when he was doing something about it... and everyone laughed all the way to tears. I was baffled, he explained that this is the fifth time I asked (and he answered, long complicated answer that involved changing all our home phones). The funnies part is that apparently we have had the same discussion one of the previous five times while the same friends were here on a different occasion. So not only was he right and I was forgetful, he had witnesses:-) I blame my multiple meds....Beatrice Lawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02898269929890235274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8226835730807114409.post-35476329890871147142013-05-01T11:21:52.238-06:002013-05-01T11:21:52.238-06:00Haha one of my many blonde moments is when I calle...Haha one of my many blonde moments is when I called my twin sister and left her a message, but I accidentally left it with our names reversed, so it went like "Hi Mai, this is Lan" - my name is Mai and HER name is Lan!

But thankfully I am blessed with a pretty bad memory, so I'm not thinking of any truly embarrassing stories off the top of my head. <br />Buuuuut, on a much smaller scale... This morning I'm being pretty absent minded. My 17-month old daughter woke up about an hour earlier than usual, and I blearily fed her some baby yogurt as usual for breakfast. Just now, I got out some of my own yogurt to have for my breakfast, and on auto-pilot, I got out a baby spoon to eat it... and I didn't even realize what I'd done until I took a bite! <br />~Natalie (QSOgirl)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8226835730807114409.post-89154441263402691402013-05-01T04:14:04.648-06:002013-05-01T04:14:04.648-06:00My most blonde moment was definitely here this Eas...My most blonde moment was definitely here this Easter, where we were invited to my oldest girlsfriends wedding. And ofcause I had said yes to come, as I´ve known her since our first day at school. She has moved pretty far, so we went of very early saturday morning, as we had to drive 400km to get to the church and we wanted to have good time to drive and we also got there in good time before the wedding, so didn´t think much about, that we were the first to arrive at the church. But after we´ve been sitting there for quite a while, we began to wonder, why noone else showed up, and were talking about, what could be wrong, as it was almost the time for the cermoni and we wre still all alone there. Then suddenly a man came in and looked at us and asked, if he could help with something, and we said as it was, that we were there for this wedding, and couldn´t understand where all the people were, and he looked at us with such a funny face and said, there was no weddings in this church today, so if we were sure it was here, and asked for the names of the couple. And when I told him, he looked like he was bursting of laughter, and told us, that then he was afraid, we had got everything pretty wrong, cause it was right it was the same pastor, but it was in the church in the neighbourcity, and besides, the wedding wasn´t until the next saturday, so first we drove to the wrong place and next on the wrong date, and finally my husbond almost killed me, when he found out, that I even had tucked the invite in my purse, so I just had had to look to find out, instead of sitting there and wait for over an hour now. UPS.<br />So we could just take the long drive back home and make the trip again the following week, but at least we made it to the weedding, and it wasn´t the week before LOL.<br />I guess you know, I have had to hear about this a few times since now he he he.<br />And just for the record, then I´m not blonde at all either, but I sure had a blonde day ha ha ha.Maryann Laursenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961916457500365819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8226835730807114409.post-75503354570242771932013-04-30T21:44:36.036-06:002013-04-30T21:44:36.036-06:00I sent my seven year old son to school on hot lunc...I sent my seven year old son to school on hot lunch day (they have pizza buns and cookies and cupcakes and stuff they have to buy) without lunch, or money...pretty cool!

I couldn't remember how to put it out so I called 911 and asked them what i should put on it. They wouldn't tell me but would only send fire trucks. I didn't want fire trucks but they insisted. I tried to put it out with a towel and the towel caught on fire and then singed a few cupboards so i stomped it all out with my foot and my shoe lace caught on fire. Put my shoe in water and then as I was taking the pan outside cause there was so much smoke there were 3 large fire trucks surrounding my condo and neighbors everywhere. Fireman used the a little fire extinguisher to put it out and had a good laugh as they put in fans to blow out the smoke. So embarrassed.
