Not only am I the clumsiest person you’ve ever met, sometimes I’m the most idiotic. I mean that with the utmost love and affection possible for one’s self. But it’d be silly if I didn’t admit it…I can be quite daft.
Take last weekend, for example. Remember all of the hullabaloo I raised about not getting enough fettuccine alfredo at Olive Garden on my birthday? Well, even though I had raised hell about it before, I still didn’t learn. The Mister and I received two gift cards for Olive Garden for random occasions and decided to use them for our anniversary. So there I am, enjoying my never-ending pasta when I get full. The waitress comes around and although I’m not halfway done with my current bowl asks if I want more. Now here’s my great chance–my chance to get some pasta to take home for lunch! Hurray for new chances, right?
WRONG.
Instead of saying yes, I just say “No, I’m getting full.” The Mister elbows me and asks what my problem is and I, frankly, don’t get his drift. Finally, he explains it to me: I shouldn’t complain about not getting refills before if I’m going to ignore them when I can get them quite easily.
Or perhaps we should talk about the time in high school when Ms. MEPS and I were driving to North Carolina for spring break. I had been in the car quite awhile, granted, and I was tired. But when a sign approached, I looked at it quite puzzled.
Finally I asked my question out loud. “Elvis att-ay (phonetics) here? What the fuck does that mean?”
Ms. MEPS looked at me confused as hell and simply stated “It says, ‘Elvis ATE here,’ you dumbass!”
Dumbass, indeed.
See, I can be a huge airhead when I’m not trying to be. I’d definitely make a poor conman. I dare to call myself an intellectual at times, when really I should be questioning my intelligence at others. Then again, it’s all part of the game.
My periodic stupidity is just one more thing that makes me who I am. If it weren’t for that and all of the tripping, falling and bad luck I had in my life, just imagine where I could be.

Stupidity is so healthy. It keeps us humble and it’s hilarious. At least, that’s my justification.
Oh. And the title is genius.
Ha, my BF is always getting mad at me b/c I don’t get his “alright…let’s leave already” hints. I guess I don’t get things unless they’re staring me right in the face. So don’t worry, it’s not just you!
That is EXACTLY what I would do.
Hey! I just realized that when I click on your link from the comments you leave, it goes to your wordpress link, not your own domain. Just wanted to let you know
Heh. These things happen to everybody I think.
Too funny! I can be the same way. I am a blonde, after all.
I have moments like this all the time. It makes life interesting, if scary, sometimes.
My worst blonde moment: I was going home with my boyfriend to visit his family. I ran to the store with his car to get some medicine, came back, and we were trying to get the car loaded to go. We were running late and he snapped at me about something. I replied “Well if you had loaded the car while I was out getting medicine, it would have gone a lot faster!”
He just looked at me. “How could I have loaded the car while you were off driving it?”
Yes. BLOND MOMENT.
I’m now inspired to write a blog post about that sometime.
your periodic stupidity is also stories for us to enjoy!
LOL I would be upset too!:D
Ok, I’m not glad that you do stupid stuff, but I AM glad I’m not the only one.
Sometimes I have to remind myself that I went to college…
I’m guessing the airhead pictures are there because you felt a little bit like an airhead. Except now I’d really like an airhead. Watermelon preferably!
Lapses like that are meditative states. At least that’s what I tell myself.
I was duped! I thought this would be a blog about the band Daft Punk. Damn, I was super excited too, haha.
It worked!!
