You Might Be a Dumb Ass If.....

Today started out like most days, I got up ,drank my coffee, got caught up the news and so my day began. Like most multi-taskers I usually manage doing several different things at once with no problem. Except for today. I had laundry going, I was doing dishes, sweeping the floor, watching a program on T.V., and in between all of that I would get on the computer to check stuff out. So you're thinking what's the big deal about that? OK I'll tell you. I looked out the back door at the humming bird feeder and figured I might as well make some fresh food for them.
I boiled the water, added the sugar and let it cool. A little later when I put in a couple drops of red food coloring it turned a rusty - yellowish color. Yuk! I thought maybe the pan I boiled the water in was dirty or something so I washed it out and made another batch. Now it was time to add the food coloring. What the f#%k!... It happened again. I know the food coloring hadn't gone bad, so I looked at the label on the bottle and it said Pure Vanilla Extract. Duhhhh! Well now I have batch number 3 made up and in the feeder. Now I'm just waiting for the humming birds to get here. I also put the vanilla extract far away from the red food coloring.

You Might Be A Dumb Ass If............

We all do stupid or funny things unintentionally now and then. What I did hasn't happened in a long time. Just about every night I'm on the computer playing online games and sometimes I stay up too late. Monday night, I knew I had to get up early Tuesday, so I set my alarm for 6 AM. I go to bed around 12:30 knowing I'm not going to get much sleep. It seemed like a few minutes later that stupid alarm goes off, ugh, bad memories of getting up for work flash through my mind. So I get my ass out of bed, go in the kitchen,turn the TV on and try to collect my thoughts. I don't know why, because, there were no thoughts at that time.

Mike gets up, which is not unusual since he always goes to bed real early. He looks at me with a funny look on his face, which is not unusual since he always has a funny look on his face and he says "You're up awful early this morning"

I say "Well yeah, I gotta take Granny shopping for windows in a couple hours"

Duh, everyone knows I have to sit and drink my coffee before I can even function for the day.



He still has that look on his face.



Finally he says "You know it's 3 o'clock in the morning?"



"What?!"



I turn around to look at the clock. Yup, he's right, it's 3 o'clock in the morning. Alrighty then maybe I'll go back to bed. Who in their right mind wants to be up earlier than you have to except Mike.

What happened was Mike has a new alarm clock and I'm not use to the sound of the new alarm. I use the alarm on my cell phone which I'm not use to either. So there you go. I don't plan on this ever happening again.
