Mismanaged Moments....

I consider myself a smart girl. I know East from West, I know the proper order to use forks at a fancy schmancy meal, I know how to use the word "acquiesce" in a sentence, though very rarely actually acquiesce in any circumstances...(ask oyfriendbay...he'll agree!) AND I am fairly certain you know no one else who can tell you the difference between the first/third Becky on Roseanne and the second one! But I have my dumb moments. REALLY dumb moments. In fact, I am sure that the reason I have so many dumb moments is because I have no shame. I have no filter. When it comes to me screwing up, I am usually the one who does it in public....and loudly.

I have verbally walked through a house while talking on my cell phone and looking for my cell phone at the same time. I have sent private emails to multiple people by hitting the "reply to all" button and I have dropped my drawers on a main highway at rush hour (more on that later) but what make my mismanaged awesome moments okay, is that I have friends that are brave enough to have non-intelligent moments with me.


Exhibit One:
Rainbows!

MARCH 2006



Brandi and I were co-workers and then we became the bestest of friends. Bosom buddies, tweedle-dum and tweedle-dumber ( I call dum!) We were together for 8 hours a day and spent most of our free time together as we were both essentially single moms. This may sound like a sitcom on TBS, but for us, it gave us enough time to be together to witness some pretty effed up shit about each other. Because we were so cool, when we weren't working (which was rare) we were posting funny -gifs on each others MySpace page, making fun of each others ex's and planning on when we could fit more time together in between the time we were already planning to be together. We were like super-duper bff's.

Now as much as I adored the great Brandini and still do, she has provided me hours of laughs at her expense and likewise I am sure. Here is one of our greatest conversations...ever.

(See picture above for reference)


Me: Hey Brandi, we are awesome... we should hang out this weekend and hike and do things outdoorsy so we can meet cute boys or something.

Brandi: Heck yes we are! Let me check the weather!

Brandi: (deadpan effing serious) OOOOoooooh! Look! They are predicting rainbows on the 17th!

Me: ...........

Brandi: (still uber excited about the impending pretty multicolored reflections in the sky!)

Me: ............

Me: (after a proper amount of time for her to say something smart to counteract what may have just happened) Brandi....by any chance is there a pot of gold at the bottom of that rainbow?

Brandi: Yeah! Why? ...oh....

(Laugh till I peed right here, all over the place)

Love you, Brandini!
