Brain Fart

13Jul10

This week’s question comes from Lil who wanted to know what my biggest brain fart moment has been…

…and there are two that currently tie for first place!

In the beginning of my pregnancy, I was an idiot. My brain wasn’t in the right place for a whole multitude of reasons, hormones and the major life event looming in the distance being the biggest. Literally the day after we cheated and took a home pregnancy test instead of waiting for the doctor, brain fart #1 happened.

I was standing in our living room talking to my sister who was in town and staying with us. I walked over to the counter, picked up my phone, pressed a button and the following happened:

B: “Hi honey. Hope you’re having a good afternoon.”
G: “I am.”
B: “…I’m off to a meeting and wanted to let you know…”
G: “uh huh”
B: “That I won’t be back at my desk for an hour.”
G: “Ok!”
B: “So if you call me back you’ll have to leave a voicemail.”
B: “I love you.”
G: “Love you too.”

And then I had the realization that I was listening to and having a full conversation with a voicemail message. Yes, yes I did. I fell over on the floor laughing and my sister nearly peed her pants.

Second brain fart moment occurred about 2 weeks after S was born. I can blame this on SO many things…

It was about 8pm and B wanted me to have some time to shower and relax. S was asleep for the moment, so I walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower almost as hot as I could get it. I took off my clothes, walked in, shampooed my hair, washed it out and stood there for a few minutes enjoying the silence and warm water. I then proceeded to pick up the conditioner, squirt it into my hand and condition…my boobs.

That’s right. My boobs. I didn’t think about it while I was doing it. It wasn’t until I didn’t like how it was coming off of my skin that I realized what happened. Needless to say I busted out laughing in the shower and laughed until I was done, dressed and in the kitchen telling B what happened.

Whoops.
