Well, no day would be complete without my "dumbass thing I did" submission...

[LaraMN]

I just went to check on my blueberry muffins.
They're not done, because after I checked on them, I left them on top of the stove.
I did, however, put a potholder in the oven and bake it.

GahhhH!
:banghead:

1. confessions of surburban housewife

:rofl:

[LaraMN]

6. I SO don't live in a suburb!

Get yo' facts straight!
:P

[ThomCat]

2. Wow. Baked potholder.

That must be a first. :)

I hope the muffins turn out well. After something like this, you deserve a nice muffin.

[LaraMN]

7. The muffins still hold potential.

The potholder was slightly overdone.

[EstimatedProphet]

3. How long are you supposed to bake potholders, anyway?

[LaraMN]

8. Depends on whether or not you prefer a crispy outside.

:P

[EstimatedProphet]

15. I like my potholders chewy

[Tyler Durden]

4. I love you.

What I do is leave the burner on the gas stove on the lowest setting, until I either burn myself, or smell gas at 3am.

[LaraMN]

9. Ohhhh... I'm BAD about leaving the oven on!

I have a routine I have to run through before I leave the house, to make sure my absent-minded self hasn't left appliances on.

[KitchenWitch]

5. Mindfulness is a great trait!

:rofl:

I so feel you!

[LaraMN]

11. My mind IS full.

Therein lies the problem.

[KitchenWitch]

13. Not mindFULL, mindful!

:rofl:

[LaraMN]

19. Ohhhh....

so there's a DISTINCTION!

It's all chaos between my ears. You wouldn't want a glimpse...

[Hugin]

10. I put my coffee in the fridge to warm up this morning...

:shrug:

[LaraMN]

12. Highly effective!

:rofl:

I tried to open my coffee mug with a can opener, some time ago.

[Hugin]

17. Have you ever dumped the sugar in the trash and put the empty packets in your cup?

That's a regular of mine.

[LaraMN]

21. No- but I don't have sugar packets at home.

I did drink grease out of a cup meant to be thrown in the garbage, once.

[Hugin]

24. Eeeew! What makes the sugar thing bad is I do it in a public location...

But, the ultimate for me was the "Soft Serve Ice Cream Scandal".

I've got to go... But, if you're interested PM me for the details. ;)

[Maine-ah]

28. I once grabbed the bag of pickling salt

instead of the bag of sugar and put a couple teaspoons in my coffee :puke: btw, I no longer put sugar in my coffee, just milk :)

[Tyler Durden]

14. I lost my cell phone by leaving it in the fridge.

Called it to find it. Duh.

[LaraMN]

16. Bwahaha!

At least you found it!

[KitchenWitch]

18. I sometimes lose my cellphone too, but mine is always on vibrate

so calling it does not always mean I will find it.

[Hugin]

22. :lol:

Hey, you pulled victory from defeat by calling it!

Brilliant save! :thumbsup:

[bullwinkle428]

20. Kind of like when I put my Gatorade bottle back in the cabinet

that I just got my glass out of, rather than the refrigerator! :silly:

[LaraMN]

23. Yes.

I am convinced it is a sign of genius.
:P

[undeterred]

25. I closed the car door on my poor old dogs tail.

He's forgiven me.
But I haven't forgiven myself.

[Critters2]

26. I am always deeply grateful to know that others do such things

and I never criticize easy to make mistakes like this.

Rather, I join with you in celebrating your humanity--if you'll do the same for me next time I do something, err, human. :hug:

[Ms_Dem_Meanor]

27. HAHAHAHA!!!

:rofl:

sounds like you had a rough one.

:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

29. Y'know what's funny?

I saw commander_bunnypants' "I tripped over the cat, fell down the stairs and..." thread and thought, "Turned into a leggy 5' 10" brunette from Minnesota?"




:hide::yoiks:

[lizerdbits]

30. I started filling the washer, put the detergent in, and walked away

leaving clothes on the floor. I've also put clothes in without detergent which is pretty obvious when you open the lid to almost put them in the dryer. Surprisingly I haven't done either one lately.

[Shell Beau]

31. Hahahahaha! I like my potholders a little rare!

[1gobluedem]

32. I have a bad habit of turning the oven off after I preheat it

So nothing will bake. I feel your pain...

And the day my new desk was delivered I was thrown so off kilter that I threw out all the invoices I'd just printed and put a stack of file folders in the fridge.

:rofl:

[ET Awful]

33. You think that's bad? Two weeks ago, while making omelettes . .

I cracked the eggs into the sink and threw the shells into the mixing bowl :P

[Pacifist Patriot]

34. I watered a flower garden with a hose unconnected to the spigot.

Wasn't very effective.
