day, then what I just did couldn't be idiotic. Ouch. That means when my day rolls around what I do will be worse.

At least I got my cookbook drawer tidied up, looking for a recipe that wasn't in there. It was in the pot I use to make that recipe. I put it in the pot because my cookbook drawer was such a mess I wanted to make it easier to find. It took me 45 minutes to find something, that I put in a place to make it easier to find.

I spent 3 months looking for my missing sledge hammer so I could pound in a fence grounding stake when I was moving the portable fence, which I'd left in the portable fence bag so I wouldn't lose it for the next time I moved the fence. For 3 months I had to whack away with a regular hammer every time I moved the effing portable fence Now I put everything away for the season...and there it was. No wonder the effing bag was so heavy!

Just the other day I spent 20 or 30 minutes looking for something I'd left with something so I'd have it available the next day when I was finishing that something...can't even remember what any more.

Really, the story of my life...

Now I have lost a bag of Xmas gifts for my husband. I hid it somewhere and promptly forgot. The good thing is that I only have to look from 5ft down. I never hide something where I can't reach it. Which probably means I will find it on a top shelf, in Feb.

I cannot say that it was not an honor. (Dontcha love double negatives?) However, I would prefer that the New Years recipient be a newby, but if one cannot be found I will gladly step up... Er down... to take the seat. It seems comfortable to me these days.

Happy happy to you.

Reminds me of me.

About 2 years ago, I did something completely boneheaded. My wife, furious, asked "Why did you DO that?"

I was literally at a loss. I just replied, "clearly, I am an idiot."

My wife broke into laughter and we got to work together cleaning up the disaster I had made.
