Usually when I wake up to walk the dogs, I’ll shove my wild-bed-hair in a claw-clip and go. Today I couldn’t find one (dogs love to chew them). So, I hoped that I was walking them early enough not to see anyone. Wrong…a group of older ladies must do their morning walks quite early and I ran right into them. I probably looked like the bride of Frankenstein.
The woman across the street and I have an unspoken mutual pact not to greet one another when we’re walking our dogs early in the morning.
Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to apply to my male neighbor who comes out in his loosely tied bathrobe to pick up the paper at that hour…
I went to my community garden the other day to try to corral some weeds that are threatening to swallow us. After an hour of sweaty and throughly dirty work, I was hosing off my arms and wondering if I was too gross looking to stop at the drugstore on the way home. How dirty was my shirt anyway? I looked down and realized that my shorts were on inside out! Pockets flapping stupidly! This is what I get for wearing shorts with an elastic waist.
No wonder when I crossed the street that morning I had the feeling that people were staring at me from a car that passed by. I went into the shed and fixed my shorts and went to Walgreens on the way home. I even had the lovely saleslady help me try several shades of foundation before choosing the right one. I didn’t tell her I had hosed my face off before coming in!
I ate way too much at Sweet Tomatoes.
Also - I made my family eat out at Sweet Tomatoes today - a holiday (it was too hot to cook.)
"Wouldn’t the most embarrassing part be that it’s September and you still haven’t filed your taxes?
Mine is a brain glitch. I forgot the password on my main personal e-mail account – and I forgot it for long enough so that I went to the trouble of changing my password. Of course, I remembered the old password as soon as I was finished doing that. But it’s too late."
It’s not too late. After October 15th, it’s too late. Well, you can still file late. Plus, if you don’t have anything due, no late fee, they are happy to delay your payment. Plus, my accountant says to avoid audits, don’t file by April 15th, take the extension, less chance of getting audited.
'Plus, my accountant says to avoid audits, don’t file by April 15th, take the extension, less chance of getting audited. ’
that’s what we do
we always file in Oct- self employed and HATE to have to pay the SE tax!!
Turbo tax and late filing. No audit.
Dumb question: How late can taxes be filed and still be available to download to the FAFSA form in January?
Kid#2 got up early and proudly mowed our grass, bagged the clippings, mowed neighbor’s lawn and collected those clippings. He picked up debris from our woods and loaded it all in his brother’s Toyota truck. It looked hillbillyish. Recycling center is closed today so it was embarrassing unloading the truck so oldest can drive it to school tomorrow (first day) without lots of junk in the back.
No, it’s not. Last year I got an extension to 15-Dec.
I wore toe socks and Oofos on the plane today! 
I accompanied MIL to McD’s for breakfast yesterday. This should not be embarrassing - except MIL has fairly advanced dementia and sees nothing wrong with doing a running commentary about every other customer - out loud. There’s no way my seat was low enough - esp while FIL and hubby were ordering the food and MIL had nothing else to do. Trying to disagree with her just made her louder. Trying to switch her mind to something else didn’t work.
My only hope was that everyone listening figured out that her brain is not working correctly rather than being offended.
I’ve renewed my personal vow to never get that old if my brain starts slipping.
You should know that office copiers and those at Staples, libraries etc have a drive that records everything copied on them. Your tax return is now eternally recorded on the office copier. Don’t do it.
Nothing awful has happened, but the day is young.
I’ve been having allergy issues recently. Someone will probably walk by while i’m dabbing my nose aggressively… or I’ll produce a really lovely sneeze.
Assuming I make it home without a driving gaffe, I’ll do my best to not set off smoke alarms with my cooking. Though sometimes, that means it’s going to be really good; for taste buds, not eardrums. hehe
Showed up for my 10:30 lab draw at my doctor’s office at… 9:30. Ugh. When I looked at my calendar, yup, it was for 10:30. Thankfully they just laughed and got me in. I told them I’d go have breakfast and come back, but it was a fasting blood draw, so I couldn’t even go do that.
My son’s baby is due this week and he had just texted me as i was walking out the door that they might go to the hospital soon. I got to the store and saw my zumba teacher with another lady. I have so many questions about the role of the paternal grandparents during and after delivery and I was asking the zumba girl how hers went. She looks amazing and is so cute that I totally forgot how old she was and asked her “friend” if she was her mother, (I wanted a grandparent perspective) oops, it was her cousin who is only 2 years older. The zumba girl is 44, but honestly she seems like she is in her early 30’s, and her bubbliness makes her seem even younger during zumba. I forgot how old she was, the other lady did look older than her, but not 20 years! (well, she does if you don’t know how old either one is, one looks great and the other looks her age) I felt so bad and I’m sure the zumba teacher felt bad embarrassed for all of us. Thank goodness the other lady does not go to my gym! I not only put my foot in my mouth, I put both feet all the way in! I usually never assume age, unless I’m assuming younger, I was just so not thinking due to the excitement of baby coming.
teriwtt, better to be an hour early than late! We were 30 minutes late at Apple store and they basically said too bad, so sad…
I forgot that Mr. B. turned off water heater before our out of state trip! This morning, I had to take a very refreshing shower because I did not have the time to wait for the water to heat up. 
^^^ @BunsenBurner
Tip: When we are going on a long trip and turn the water heater down, I put a piece of copy paper on the kitchen counter (where we walk back in) with the words, “turn water heater back up.” Because after a long trip, doing that isn’t fresh in our minds, and sometimes we do want a hot shower or bath when we get home.
Dog has had diarrhea lately. Dog did so on walk this afternoon. Dog barked at other dogs. I pulled Dog up short, which stopped the barking. Unfortunately, this also caused Dog’s bottom to rub against my pants. Yuck.
I yelled at a fly to stop and listen. It got caught between the window and the screen as I was shutting the window.
I could not let it be trapped like that but when it got in my way of pushing the screen out I gave it a stern talking to and after realized that I had humanized that fly. He did manage to pay enough attention to get out.
My daughter was home sick, so my phone was on.
In a school where student phones MUST be off and in your locker, my phone went off on the first day of real teaching.
My neighbor’s daughter was starting nursery school and she wanted to tell me all about it-- at 2:15 pm.
Great first impression to make with a new group of Seniors!! Thanks, neighbor. You just set my year back quite a bit as I had to explain why a rule that’s strictly applied to them didn’t count for me.
