around 12:30p today my stomach started growling and figured it was time to eat lunch. i walked over to our little kitchen area that houses a small refrigerator and a microwave. i opened the refrigerator expecting to see my blue tupperware with leftover quiche inside. but as i rifled through the few items in the refrigerator, it was no where to be found. thinking maybe i had forgotten to put my lunch in the refrigerator, i walked back to my desk to see if i had left it there. nope. i returned to the refrigerator, searched again, and still couldn't find it. i closed the refrigerator door, lifted my head and saw the microwave. no way. i didn't put it in there this morning... did i?
sure enough. my lunch had been sitting in the microwave all morning.
i really don't understand how my brain misses these kinds of incongruencies while they are in process.
Charity,
It's OK. Once when I was in college, I dried my hair with a blow dryer, then set the blow dryer down on the counter (still running), put on my coat, walked out of my dorm room and locked the door behind me. My roomate came in a few minutes later and turned it off, thank goodness, but I just about never lived that one down. So whatever it is that's wrong with you, it's wrong with me too. :)
P.S. Thanks for linking to my blog! I feel so honored!
I was relieved to discover that you literally lost your lunch... Though I should've known better. The Charity Throener I've known since 7th grade would never have blogged about "losing her lunch"!
Once I stepped into the shower with my glasses on. The blur that ensued didn't make me "silly, you left your glasses on" it made me think "OH NO! I'm GOING BLIND!!! And Nurse Barb can't do anything about it!!" (seeing that blindness can't be diagnosed when you ask "what color is your snot?") It wasn't until I went to wash my face before I realized my glasses were on.
LOL! I don't know Jeannette but I would like to now. My best moment in this vein was when I walked out of the bathroom back towards my bedroom in a towel and proceeded to put my dirty clothes in the refrigerator along the way. Apparently I had some trouble keeping my appliances strait as well. Mom wasn't too happy with that.
Once I was putting the bag of Cheetos away and I put them in the fridge instead of the cupboard. Mmm... chilled Cheetos.
lol! i laughed so hard at these comments that tears came to my eyes!
Well, I guess I'll have to add my story, which Jeannette already knows, I think. I opened the freezer door at the Big House once, reached in with my glass to fill it with ice, accomplished that mission, and proceeded to shut the freezer door...This all sounds fine and normal, but, unfortunately, my hand was still in the freezer. You would think that the blood everywhere would keep Josh from laughing SO hard...but...
