May 20, 2005 12:53 PM- comments are always the best part

Lizzie had a link to this backblog today and I can hardly type because I laughed so hard I sprained both elbows when I fell off my chair and hit the metal file cabinet.

Or, maybe it's not funny at all and this is just hormones. (You know how women always say that when they cry?)

Go. Go. It IS that funny . . .

Afternoon Update

Some women play dumb. Some women just are dumb.

Me: (Sneaking up behind Twin who is downloading porn.) Hey Twin?

Twin: (Jumps. Startled. Spins around in his cube and tries to get me to focus my attention away from his computer screen.) Yeah?

Me: Can you drive me over to the u-haul place?

Twin: Right now?

Me: Sure. Whenever. But if you?re in the middle of something---

Twin: No no. Now?s fine.

Riding in Twin?s car en route to the u-haul place.

Twin: So where is the u-haul?

Me: Um. Oh shit. I forgot to ask. But I think I know.

We drive up into the self-storage place.

Twin: Nope. Not here.

Twin turns car around.

Me: When you agreed to do me a favor, did you know you were embarking on a three-hour tour?

Twin: Given that the population of this town is 5,000 and that you?ve lived here 12 years, no?I thought you might?ve actually been on top of this one.

Me: I have another idea where I think it might be. Go this way. I know I see the sign all the time.

We drive down main street where a second tattoo parlor is having a grand opening.

Twin: One post office, one barber shop, no grocery store, two tattoo parlors.

Me: And two bait shops. Don?t forget the two bait shops.

We arrive at the next place I thought there was a u-haul rental. Twin turns the car around.

Twin: You know, I think I know where it might be.

Me: Excellent.

We arrive at Twin?s guess. Still no luck.

Twin: Do you know the phone number?

Me: Do you have a cell phone?

Twin: You don?t have a cell phone?

Me: I have a cell phone. I just don?t carry it with me.

Twin: That?s one approach.

Me: Can I use yours?

Twin: Do you know the number?

Me: I should. I called them four times.

I dial a number.

Strange Man: Hello?

Me: This isn?t u-haul?

Strange Man: Wrong number, lady.

Me: I think I need a phone book.

Twin: Let?s just go back to the office.

We pull up to the front circle of the company building. Twin has the music blaring so when I get out and run up to the receptionist?s desk I feel like a high-schooler. While I?m calling u-haul the HR manager comes through the lobby and gives me the fish eye.

So much for sliding out undetected. I get back into Twin?s car.

Me: Okay. We weren?t so far off. Go down Rte 3 past the gas station.

Twin: Uh, Twinnie, isn?t that how you drive to work? Every day?

Me: Shut up. And don?t be telling T about this. He can?t handle it. It hurts him to know this about me.

Twin: He won?t hear it from me.

got 2 cents?

I'm so geographically challenged! I often get in a car or start walking to a place thinking I have an idea of where I'm going only to realize I don't. Of course, I don't read directions either. I'm kind of a mess.

speaking of directions, I just got off the phone with bridal shop and was writing directions on my tiny post it pad, so I had to keep spinning it around for more room - I astound myself with my intelligence, really. loved the link! It was too, too funny. And it's good that the Twinnie was so patient, especially after you interrupted him, well, you know...that's a darn good friend!!

Guess I should have just packed up the computer- but I thought I'd just do one more surf. Sun AM and all..... Didn't know that BP was going to try to slip this one by me. No such luck, BP! I'm glad I wasn't there to witness this one...

I know EXACTLY how that part of the female brain works: I cannot count the number of times I have done that to myself, but I'm still alive because I've never done it to anyone else. :)

I've done this. Right down to the not having the cell phone with me part. Although I was looking for the Goodwill place that I have even been to before.
