Two reasons....

Two reasons why I'm an effing moron:

1) So I did MASSIVE Boxing Day shopping.

I hate Christmas....but I love Boxing Day. I take that sh*t seriously mother effer, don't mess with me on the 26th.

I had to make TWO trips to Walmart, and the only reason I didn't do a third was 'cause I didn't have room in my car.

I had people in LINE telling me I was genius for the stuff I was buying, because clearly I was doing my holiday shopping for the next 50 years.

Anyway...

So i was putting all my stuff away (like the wonderful yet creepy and of course, tacky, little baby in a sled that my mother in law gave me for xmas last year) and i was running in an out of the garage putting stuff away...

I hadn't showered since the day before because I didn't have time this morning (my flight was at 7am) and i figured i'd shower when i got home, but then I dashed off to Walmart and then figured i'd shower AFTER i was done dealing with the nasty garage....

So i put my hair in a "blob" and bobby pinned my bangs back...

I saw one of my neighbors outside, did the "hi" social thing...wondered why he looked at me funny....

Ummm yeah I pinned my bangs so they stood WAY out...like basically I was the "crazy old lady next door"...a good 3 inches out in the air. I looked like a f*cking LUNATIC.

Nice.


2) So the plan was for me to see a dear friend (won't say her name for reasons that will become evident) in San Jose that I haven't seen since before I got married...got all excited, put her cell in my cell...she was gonna drive up from Gilroy....she texted me that day to let me know she was free whenever....

...Kraig and I go to dinner (didn't eat much at Xmas and i think now it's a tradition to go to this one Malai/Singaporean place) and I call and leave a message telling her that not much was open but there's a Denny's in Fremont, but that it was raining so I understood if she coudln't do the drive from Gilroy, blah blah.

I get a call back with the VM saying she didn't fully understand my message but that she had major news....

So I call HER back...and she talks about how she lives in RC, how she just got engaged....and then she mentioned her bday being that day.

me: "but your bday is in June..."
Her: "no, it's Xmas day...you remember that...."...

And suddenly I realize...

I called the FIRST person in my cell with this name....Instead of the one I had actually planned on seeing....Kraig was DYING laughing because he saw my expression when I realized I was having a conversation with the wrong person

((to my defense, I was in the Malai restaurant and it was loud so it took me longer to clue in than it would have normally))

I should have clued in when she said she had no idea where Fremont was....when she said she wasn't going to San Jose State....when she mentioned a fiance....

So i FINALLY call my friend at 10:30pm, and it's pouring rain anyway so she couldn't do the drive but I felt like SUCH a frickin' idiot because she probably thought I didn't want to see her, which is SO not true 'cause I missed her a ton and now I have to make sure I see her when I got up to San Jose next time.



SUCH A FRICKIN' MORON.

I swear it's amazing I haven't accidentally cut my own head off.
