Quantcast

Last Night, Between 6PM And 8PM…

…all of these things happened:

- Bought cookies to bring to one of my best friends, who just gave birth, and left store without box.

- Returned to now-five-blocks-away store for cookies.

- Went to the wrong hospital. Twice. With a very grumpy baby who did not care one whit that he was about to meet his new BFF in tow.

- Went home.

- Cried a little (see: aforementioned grumpy baby).

- Chopped onions for dinner, put onions on stove, and promptly forgot about onions’ existence.

- Burned onions.

- Picked up pan full of burned onions with wrong side of oven mitt.

- Burned self.

- Dropped onions on floor.

- Wrangled two highly excitable dogs away from onions and into bedroom.

- Forgot to turn on flame underneath pasta.

- Required approximately six times the normal amount of time to make dinner as a consequence.

Oh, and then I was all, you know what? Tonight has really sucked. I think I’ll use one of my fancy skin-brightening pads so at least I look pretty when I wake up tomorrow.

But I couldn’t open the packaging, so I tried to peel it apart with my teeth…

And gave myself a plastic cut on my lip. Which, in case you’re wondering, is the equivalent of a paper cut, but made with plastic, and even less fun. And so I came to the conclusion that I was completely over everything, and went to bed at an embarrassingly early hour.

The only good thing that I have to say about last night is that it is not happening any more.

    I hate those days when everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, goes wrong. But that only means that it can’t get any worse, only better

    Been there, except I grabbed the blazing hot metal handle of a pan without the oven mitt at all.  I would like to thank the NYU ER for being a model of efficiency. I think the pork loin was actually still warm when I got home.

    That’s what happens when negativity gets the best of you.   This happened to me last week: lost my wallet, went to DMV for new license.  Parked illegally in McDonald’s lot, car got towed.  I caught the tow driver in time and forked over all of my cash to him (he was nice enough to pay the rest of my ticket out of pocket).  Went to the bank (no cash!) and used a muni-meter.  Returned to my car to find a $35 ticket: I had put the muni receipt face-down on my dashboard.   These days happen.

    Awww the good old days of what I used to call ” I have a baby and I don’t get a ton of sleep”  :)   although I still have these days and he is 3 yr. old.   Hope your weekend is good!

    Burned onions and excitable dogs qualify as ‘the worst night ever’??? You have got to be kidding. Try working the night shift in a hospital or police station and then talk about ‘the worst night ever’.
