I am an Idiot


I went down to San Jose yesterday to get my hair cut.  I know.  I should just find someone up here.  But I really like this girl, she does a good job and her price is very reasonable.  So I drive the 60 miles to her salon.  And even that is okay because I make the most of the trip by going to my Parent's  house before I get my hair cut.  I needed to get some stuff/do some laundry/pet the dogs anyway.  
By one o'clock I am at the salon sitting there reading my scandal rag of choice.  1:19 rolls around and I start to think, 'What is taking so long?'  But, on to the next magazine.  Still reading, still waiting.  And then, 'Are you waiting for J?'  'Yes.'  'We are going to call her right now.'  So they call her and that thought in the back of my mind, 'It was this Thursday right?  Not next Thursday', has crept to the  front of my mind.  The girl comes back, 'I am so sorry you have been waiting here all this time.'  'My appointment is next Thursday, right.'  'Yes, we are so sorry we did not call her sooner.'  

I told you I am an idiot.  An idiot who really needs a hair cut.

i cant tell you how many times somemthing like that has happened to me and i secretly know in the deepest part of my brain the whole time... so when you were thinking about which thursday your appointment was my stomach did a flip or two... all too familiar.

Is that the cut you're going for or is the girl in the picture also an idiot?

The hair cut, but judging by the movies she has been in she is probable an idiot as well.

I do that kind of thing ALL the time. I am really worried for when I one day get "mommy brain" and also for when I get old.

haha, I did something like that today. We planned on going to a baby luau out by Waianae and I totally thought it was for today, Saturday the 16th. NOPE, it was for Friday the 15th. I was just thinking Saturday, saturday, saturday. Who has their baby luau on a Friday anyways? (I was looking forward to the good food)

That cracked me up. You know I do stuff like that all the time. What a shame you had to drive that far though. I bet you are loving the city. I would be intimidated. (maybe the farm is rubbing off on me, ahhh)About your other post it took me almost three weeks to get over my summer cold, awful. Lets talk soon.

I hate the moment of perfect clarity when you realize YOU are the idiot and not the other person. but like your friend earlier said, at least you saw your fam. By the way, I just cut my hair last week in that same cut. We must be friends.
