If they handed out awards for being lazy and forgetful, I’d wonder why all these awards are cluttering up my house.
Today did not go as planned. It was filled with promise – I got up at a reasonable hour, went to the post office and bakery before 9:00, then came home and made a list of things to get done. That’s where the breakdown happened. I didn’t feel well so I took a nap, then Lloyd took a nap, then I re-watched the movie I rented, then my stories were on, then it was 9:30 (bedtime) and I saw the paper on the fridge reminding me to make birthday cookies for a college girl. Today.
ARRRRRGGGHHH!!!!!! I’m part of this group of ladies who bakes cookies or cakes for Concordia, and I remember agreeing to do this one, but I thought it was for the 7th. This card said ‘for April 5th’. As I was frantically flying around the kitchen assembling ingredients, I kept asking myself, “Is today the 5th? Maybe it’s the 4th and I’m ok.” (If Lloyd had been awake, I’d have asked him, but he was on his second nap – yes, he naps before bedtime.)
*sigh* The cookies won’t be as good as I like, because I only had mini chocolate chips for some reason. I called the girl when I started baking to apologize and left her a message to call me back before 10:30 if she’d still like me to deliver them, and it’s 10:27 – no call. I am the Ruiner of Birthdays.
UPDATE: I called her at 10:29 just to be sure, and she was there! It may have been an inconvenience for her to stay up a little longer and meet me at the door, but dang it – she got her cookies!
