For me, it was last night.
My eyes have been puffy of late, so I thought I'd try the old cucumber slices trick I remember from 50's movies. I put two fat slices on my eyes, but then they didn't quite touch all of my eyes so i broke them in half, and sorta squeezed some juice around. Then I went to bed, happy that my puffy eyes would dissapear.
Woke up at 4:30am, totally blind. My eyes had completely crusted shut. Stumbled to the bathroom and washed them out; now i'm at work, my eyes are blood-red, i still can't see very well....
...and they're still puffy.

You should have used wet tea bags. Everyone knows cucumber slices are evil. The cure for what ails you, though, is Peach Schnapps.

Hahaha! Best laugh of the day so far
TY! (Hope your eyes feel better soon. I recommend Clinique All About Eyesto reduce future puffiness, heh). BTW, my stupid thing this weekend was eating nothing at all on Saturday, but drinking gallons of coffee and water all day. My body couldn't decide if it was hungry, tired, amped up from caffeine, dehydrated, or needed to pee. I was totally useless and lazy on Sunday. |

I went around to hospitals finding people with pink-eye and forced them all to cry onto a plate full of cucumber slices for most of the weekend.

I bought a 19" LCD monitor for $375, with the $120 rebate It'll be..... reasonably priced.
It's an upgrade from 15" CRT made sometimes last century, it still had adjustment knobs. I bought a 100gb Maxtor HD, on sale for $80. To replace the 20gb maxtor. Now for the stupid part. The LCD's sale ended saturday. OfficeDepot (the closest store to me) only had 2 in stock. I got the last one. I had to float a check across the weekend, for a balance that didn't exist yet because I hadn't filed my tax return. So.... I might have a really large bounced check to play with this week. But, my eyes tell me I made the right decision. |

I'm positive I did nothing stupid, however, I don't recall anything at all from the weekend. I'm not even sure there was a weekend and a poll of people in my office indicates that I am correct in my assumption that the weekend did not happen.

I'm boring.. About the dumbest thing I did was try to split the filling for breakfast burritos into two tortillas, when it would've filled one just fine. So now i'm without tortillas. Other than that.. I didn't get out much this weekend besides work, so there wasn't much stupid I COULD do.

I got my first driving lesson at the ripe old age of 24 5/6, and realized it's not nearly as hard or scary as it looks.

I got my first driving lesson at the ripe old age of 24 5/6, and realized it's not nearly as hard or scary as it looks. Heh, congrats! Driving can be pretty keen fun, and also very liberating depending on where you live. I know a lot of people who are intimidated by it, so you're not alone there. I couldn't wait, personally. I started driving at 15 and have had 2 of my cars totalled in the intervening 7 years, and one minor collision, none of which were my fault. In order: 1) Yes, green means you can turn left across opposing traffic, but it means you YIELD. 2) Red light means stop, babe, not plow into cars crossing the intersection, it's a subtle distinction. 3) Generally, when making a left turn, you should do it from the left lane, not the right. Barring that, at least make sure there's not a big white van in the left lane actually observing the traffic laws. They get upset when you crash into their fender and rip their mirror off because you were talking on a cellphone. I think the stupidest thing I did this weekend was work on SL instead of my homework. Yeah, um, professor, about that paper... _____________________

Awwwwwww. Sweet Taco. Ouch.
To cheer you up: This past weekend, I went to a local kite festival--god, I love kites. I bought one for my 4 year-old son hoping that he, too, would love kites. Tried like the devil to get sucker to fly. All the while, my son was watching with an expectant look on his face. On my last attempt, I took the kite string and began to run with it, trailing the kite behind me. I must have gotten up a pretty good head of steam because my pants fell down. Down to my knees, brothers and sisters. My assets were on view for the assembled 40 or so people who witnessed this (Memory, if you know her, also saw the whole thing--no, literally, the whole thing). Congratulations on the driving lesson, Maeve!! Drive safely!! _____________________

I spent all friday with my best friend and all we did was pretty much stupid, but lots of fun!
We ate at Subway and burped like pigs, haha!! XD And then we went to Salvation Army to get vintage clothes, and I stumbled across this bag of kid hats... So I stacked a kitty hat on my head, barely on top (it was so small) and I forgot it was there, so did the clerk, so I went out the store... with the kitty hat STILL on my head. People were smiling at me in the street, and it made me really happy, haha! I will probably wear it again, if my 4 yo doesnt steal it  Another stupid thing was my best friend getting on MSN to talk to some friend, and the guy was drunk right. So at some point he... showed her his penis. That is not totally funny until you know what happens next. I wasn't online so she really wanted to take a snapshot to show me later. Okay so you guys have to know we are both french speaking in RL. Soooo.... She calls me, tells me the story about this guy and what he did, and tells me how it sucks because she couldn't take a snap: BECAUSE SHE HAD NO PRTSCN, next to F12. So I was like "uh?!" and asked her what was next to it, and she said "I don't know, some totally meaningless letters: IMPECR". I DOH-ed her for 20 minutes straight. And she couldn't stop laughing at herself she spilled her juice. The idiot (well I love her anyways) has a FRENCH keyboard. AND WE ARE FRENCH TOO. IMPECR... as in... IMPRIMER ECRAN... Wich is literally PRINT SCREEN. HHHHHHAAAAAAAAHAHA loser. Anyways, might not sound completely funny to you guys, but let me tell you, it was for us. HI5!! _____________________
