I just had a total brain dead moment.
I ventured downstairs to put the bunnies outside for the day and eat some breakfast. I see a note on the counter from my stepdad to my mom saying that he took the tv. I'm just thinking to myself, "what tv? What tv could he be taking somewhere with him at 8am?" So then, I pop my veggie sausage into the microwave and my crossiant into the oven, grab the remote off the counter and go to turn on the tv without looking. I must have hit the button about 10 times (I wasn't really looking at the tv), cursing the sound, and then I totally turned around and realized I was trying to turn on an empty space on the counter. I don't think those brain cells are coming back.

Now I just want to know where he's bringing the tv. Is he going to start watching E.R. in his office? Why? Just why? Why didn't he take the remote? Why didn't he take the cable? Why is the power cord still in the wall disconnected from where ever the tv is journeying to? I probably use that tv for about 10 minutes a day, but it's just unsettling to stare at a blank cable and powercord coming out of the wall.

3. Expect updates every 10 minutes from Fox News.
Next on Fox: Where did the little LCD tv go and why were it's cables & remote left behind? Follow us on this breaking saga.

2. heh
I just stopped to get a coffee on the way in to work, and while I was opening the little tubs of creamer and pouring them into the cup, I realized I had opened about 3 of them and poured them into the trash, and dropped the empty tubs in the cup.

4. Yeah, I've done stuff like that.
The other day I put the half & half into the cabinet, instead of the fridge, but I realized as I was walking away. The situation was corrected.

5. I've been putting on t-shirts and pullovers sweaters backwards.
Even when I make an effort to pay attention.

6. I hate the fact that my Gap tank tops don't have a tag.
The size is just printed inside the shirt. I always seem to put them on backwards.

8. The cut of the shirt prevents me from leaving with it on backwards.
If it's inside out, then yes.

10. I've seen dumber clubs.
My HS had a school sanctioned "Mullet Appreciation Club." Fortunately, no one in it appreciated the mullet enough to actually rock the mullet.

12. I have no clue.
A bunch of random guys and a young male teacher. Technically, in order to start a school club, all you needed was five members and a faculty advisor. That is, unless you're trying to start a gay-straight alliance. Then, you also needed to legally threaten their asses to get the club. Although, it was almost cute how red and angry the principal got when he was presented with a copy of the federal law on our side. His only response was, "but there are school rules!!!" When asked to present a copy of these 'rules,' he just flailed about and yelled, "they're not written down anywhere. They're just school rules." The man was an idiot.

13. I love the unwritten rules.
They always seem to be the most harsh.
