No offence to my MaryKay & Avon gfs but geeze… it’s so much easier to find a shade of foundation that matches me at Kroger (of all places) than it is going through a specialty company.

Yesterday, Darren and I went shopping for some Passover goods, had an extremely abridged Seder at our house with Sal & Daniel last night.  By abridged, I mean… we simply ate.  Anyway, while we were at Kroger, I decide I might like to try some foundation again.

So we walk over to the make-up area.  I grab a few bottles and hold them up to my face for Darren to judge because they don’t have any bloody mirrors up anymore… PROBABLY to get people to stop doing what I did next.  They DID have a moderately mirrory base to the display that I was able to look at.

Not being satisfied with glazed glass bottles masking the true color inside, I open a bottle.  To hell with guessing, right?  I find one that looks close enough with shade room for a little sun catching later…  I take a little blob and smear it across my cheek.  Oh yes.  Preggy brain has failed me once again.  Forgetting just how little it takes.

So I’m staring down at my poorly reflected self in disbelief of what I did.  Giggles start.  I look at Darren, he bursts out laughing.  So we’re standing in the make-up section of Kroger laughing at this huge ridiculous foundation spot on my face.  (Pretty much the entire “Apple” area.)  I didn’t think to take a picture.  Priceless.

I needed a good laugh.  : )

Darren produced a paper towel he had picked up from the meat department and I wiped it away.  Once the giggles subsided, we went about our merry way. 

Dinner was good: matzo ball soup, beef brisket, mashed potatoes, gefelte fish, matzos and horseradish.  I like the potatoes I got this time, they were clean enough that I just had to wash them down before I pealed them instead of scrubbing away a think outer skin of dirt and crap.  Ver’nice.  It wasn't a proper Seder, I think I'll try one next year.  We'll be raising Kol Jewish like his daddy so I had better get prepared to celebrate the holidays properly.

The Seder at Lois (Darren's mum) and Rich's house was nice, the abridged Seder is about 20-30 minutes long vs. the PROPER 2+hr. Seder.  Lots of important history involved.

Anyway, it was a good weekend plus Monday.  Got a lot done... Thank You cards were the worst, but when you have a shower... you HAVE to say thank you to your guests.  Even if they didn't bring anything, a thanks for coming.  : )

Kk, back to work. *sigh*

Oh, how embarrassing.  Twice in one day yesterday I made a major FUBAR.  It’s embarrassing as hell but kind of painfully funny because of the stupid mistakes I’ve been making.  Absentmindedness has never been so bad for the workplace.

So here’s what happened…

First, one of our vendors that we pay twice a month (for discounts) had a statement that was sent for the second half of December.  I thought it was for the first half of January and used the discount at the bottom of the statement.  Lois came back and asked why… the discount due date was clearly printed at the bottom “December 26th“ or something and I cut the check on January 3rd.  Should have been NO discount.  They’ll bill us for it later, I assume… but that was a highly embarrassing accounting error and should never have been made.  : (

Second and most recently… I cost a labor bill for an installer yesterday to the WRONG installer AND wrong Job completely.  It’s as if I didn’t think at all when I was doing it and reused the same form data over again.  So now, we have an installer who was OVERPAID and an installer that was UNDERPAID and a job that doesn’t have a proper receipt for work done.  *sigh*   Another very embarrassing error that will no doubt cause headaches for HR for the next day or two.

I’m making a bloody mess of things, I don’t mean to… absentmindedness is killing me inside and out.  Not thinking clearly though I think that I am at any given moment is going to get me fired.   I’ve never made so many drastically stupid mistakes in a row in my life.

I think I’d operate better if I were impaired by drugs or alcohol at this moment than this damn preggy brain.

Oh well, back to delivering disaster... only 4.5 months left...
