Forgetful or Absent-Minded?

Thank goodness I was only 3 houses away from home when I remembered I had not put on any make-up this morning. Horrors! I turned around and went straight home. Ed was just about to pull out of the driveway. With a look of alarm on his face, he jumped out of the truck. I reassured him I was OK ... just left the house with no paint on the barn. He hadn't noticed. Great. So I guess I look just as bad without it as I do with it. He's a LOT of help!

And this topic reminds me of a GREAT story my friend Linda shared on her blog this week. Now this classy lady is meticulous about her appearance ... and that of her hubby. Every time I've seen them they look ready for a photo shoot. Disgusting. I just look ready to be shot. Anyway, they left their house Monday morning for a trip to Nashville from in East TN. All spiffed up. Stopped and spoke with some neighbors before they left. Somewhere along the way they stopped for gas and a potty break. It was only when Linda was in the ladies room that she discovered she was wearing her jumper wrongside out. Yep. Tags on the outside. Even better, she said the shoulder pads were turned up like cereal bowls. She was mortified ... especially when another lady in the rest room discovered it about the same time Linda did. Her hubby? Never noticed. I howled when I read it. A big ol' belly laugh. Sounds like something I'd do. Thanks, friend, for sharing your story!

 

Unpacking and Outa Here

I've spent the last 4.5 hours unpacking and putting my office back in some resemblance of order. Except for things that need to be hung on the wall, I think I'm done. Facilities management will have to take care of those things. Brought Windex and paper towels and cleaned as I went along. YUCK! Some nasty, dusty stuff. Even defrosted my little fridge. All spick and span now.

And because I have worked late and through lunches this week, I'm OUTA HERE until Monday.
