"FREAKIN IDIOT!"

Ok lets all say it…I’m an idiot. Let me give you a couple of examples why this is true:

Example one: I move into my new apartment and get settled and everything. Andrew’s fantastic mother was so nice to go out of her way and buy me a housewarming gift. It was a lovely plate and a nice smelling candle. I loved it, and I quickly wrote a thank you note expressing my gratitude. I’m thinking I did the right thing and I wanted to show them that I had class by personalizing the card and writing about each item she gave me. So then the weekend comes…Andrew comes up and tells me, “oh yeah, I talked to my mom and she said thank you for the nice note you wrote them but to tell you that it’s soap not a candle. Don’t light it or anything.” I THOUGHT IT WAS A CANDLE! What did I forget how to read? I looked again and the words “Pumpkin Soap” are written right on the top of the package! It’s SOAP! I’m supposed to go to South Carolina this weekend with Andrew to go see his parents...I’ll probably have to prove myself all over again. Good luck to me.

Example two: I’m driving along the interstate with my sister this Friday – well, not really driving. More like parking cause the traffic was so bad, I wasn’t even going 5 miles an hour. Anyway. There was a cop riding his motorcycle in the shoulder lane. He passes us and drives up a ways and starts looking at people’s windshields. I was like, this guy is bored and he’s gonna bust somebody. Yeah the minute I creep up to where he is all I hear is “doooooo” (Siren sound) and he points at me to pull over. Betsy starts flipping out cause nothing like this ever happens to good ‘ol Betsy…only me. I pull over and I ask him what the problem is. “You’re inspection sticker is overdue. You’ve had over a month to get it done, you have no excuse, you’re getting a ticket.” I look at the sticker…8 – 05. AUGUST! I didn’t even realize! It's now October! It’s been expired for over a month now! What the heck, where was I?! Thank God it was only a $30 ticket…and I don’t get any points or anything on my driving record. But seriously, what am I losing my mind?

I know no one is perfect, and we all make stupid mistakes, but come on…what the crap? I’m losing it and you know who’s fault it is? The five Mexicans that live below me. Their loud stupid music is keeping me up at night and throwing me off my normal rocker.

Oh yeah and I still haven’t gotten my inspection done…
