FABULOUS INEPTITUDE

Aug 22, 2005 00:56

Today was my mother's birthday, and so we did yardwork for her. I managed to get a fairly bad sliver from a rake handle and whack my head on the metal pointy end of the dormant NordicTrak in the basement, so I decided to try my luck inside. Now, I am hardly one of those domestic goddesses you read of in Redbook, as those who were witness to Thursday's Baked Eggplant Adventure can attest (apparently you're supposed to peel eggplant. Who knew?) However, I figured even I couldn't go wrong cleaning mirrors. The generic blue bottle I took for Windex was even right next to the sink for me. Said blue bottle turned out to be OxyClean rather than Windex. (Note: they are not interchangeable.) Now (don't ask me how, because I have no idea) I appear to have gotten bleach actually in my nose.

There is no hope for me.

On the bright side, the other way in which we celebrated my mom's birthday was by going to a great seafood restaurant, eating ourselves stupid, and saying funny things: all activities at which I excel. Happy Birthday, Mom!
