God, I'm an idiot.

I borrowed a dvd (An Inconvenient Truth) from the library for our adult Christian Ed class. We showed part of it one week, when a couple said they owned it and we could borrow their's the next week. So, I was gonna take the library copy back. I knew I took it out of the church, and haven't been to the library all week, but beyond that, I have NOT been able to locate it. It's been driving me crazy.


Well, I just found it. It was in my dvd player at home.

A dvd in a dvd player. Who'd a thunk? :banghead:

6. My best 'lost keys' story.

Miz t. misplaced her car keys.
We searched high and low.
Went through the whole 'reconstruction' thing.
When did you last have them?
What did you do when you came in the house?
etc., etc, ad nauseum.

Miz t. has the annoying habit of putting stuff on top of IMPORTANT stuff.
A dish towel or a newspaper on top of keys or her purse.
We looked under every piece of paper that was on a flat surface.
Still no keys.

A half hour after we gave up the search, I opened the fridge for something.
There, on the top shelf, were her keys.

And then she remembered. She had just come in from the grocery store.
Was putting some milk in the fridge.
The phone rang.
She had a grocery bag in one arm, so she set the keys down, IN THE FREAKING FRIDGE!, and picked up the phone.
:rofl:

17. Heh...I spent a minute looking for my cell phone as I was about to leave the house

Then realized..I was ON the cell phone...luckily I was the only person at home so I didn't do my usual "hey, where is my..." to anyone.

3. I've done things similar to that.

It gets pretty bad when you are looking for your keys and they are in your hands. :blush:

[Critters2]

4. There's two of you!

I don't think I've done that. Yet.

[Jamastiene]

5. You're good then.

Until you've done that, you don't have to worry quite as much. That feels REALLY idiotic when you realize you are holding the keys. :P

7. I once walked to the optician to get new glasses...

because I couldn't find mine after 10 non-stop hours of looking for them, they were brand-new too. He said "If you give me the other ones I can get the script off them and save 10 minutes looking it up in the computer."

I said "If I had the other ones I wouldn't be buying these ones."

He looked at me as if I was an idiot. Yeah, they were on top of my head. :dunce:

[kentauros]

8. I hope y'all had a good laugh, anyway

:D

I wonder how often optometrists/ophthalmologists see that happen? ;)

13. My dad lost his hearing aid ten days ago. We looked through everything

in his room (and he has lots of mail and books and newspapers everywhere). We looked everywhere. He said he remembers taking it out and hanging it somewhere cause it wouldn't stay in. After 1 1/2 hours of looking I finally thought... THE CAR. Sure enough he was driving and it fell out so he tried to hook it onto his turn signal. Of course it fell onto the ground in his car. What a relief.

15. Wait 'til you find the remote in the freezer.

16. Don't be "an idiot" and miss the CCHCC dinner!

April 17 at the Hawthorne (I think?)

We will be there--including Material Girl who is planning to wear her new high heels. I will NOT be in high heels.

18. I have also asked where my keys were when I had them in my hand...

If I am taking a nap and the phone rings, I have to put my glasses on before I answer the phone because I can't hear without my glasses on.
