Day for Dumb Mistakes!

I've done some pretty dumb things today - for one thing I bought a lottery ticket.  I never get even one number and I don't know why the mood strikes me about once every year or two.  It's such a waste, but fortunately I'm no big spender and losing a dollar won't make me go hungry!

Two of my daughters-in-law have birthdays tomorrow, so I bought two birthday cards, addressed and stamped them, and put them out in the mailbox for pickup.  All of the sudden it dawned on me that I addressed one to Sandy in NY, and it should have been Megan in Sacramento.  I already had it sealed and stamped, so I'm just going to save it until next year and send it to Sandy!  But I have to find something tomorrow to send to Meg.  I often make mistakes but never have made that one.

I think there is a lunar eclipse this evening, or did I miss it entirely.  I know the solar eclipse is coming up in another week, and while it should be a good show here in Sacramento I'm not scrambling for glasses to watch it.  I think I mentioned I've seen one in the past, and if you've seen one you've seen them all.   I can't believe that people are paying $1600 in Salem, OR for a room for one night.  I'm still wondering what all those people are going to do to the power grid, and if it will affect us in Sac.  I think maybe it will, and I will really be ticked off if it does.

And while we are on the subject of the skies, is anyone else getting pretty tired of hearing about Niburu?  There have been all kinds of dire predictions for the past year or more, and the date keeps changing.  I don't believe we will even see it, even if there is something there.   All of the sudden I'm done with the gloom and doom predictions.  I don't believe anyone knows much more than I do, which is next to nothing. 

 I have to get down to work on something tomorrow - either painting or photo sorting.  There are other jobs but I want to tackle those two first.  I have the best of intentions.

  1. Ha - They have been talking about Niburu swinging since before 2003. Has the lame-stream media finally picked up on that one?

    2. It's pretty funny, isn't it. I got totally burned out before the event has even arrived, if it ever will!

  2. Never heard of Niburu! I guess it will give me something to look up.

    1. Supposedly it is a huge planet whose orbit is so big we would only have it swing by us once in thousands of years. There are all sorts of doomsday predictions, such as it will collide with us, etc.

  3. I'm with Barney - I've never heard of Niburu. Off to Google. I have days when I'm really clumsy. Can't hang on to anything or trip over everything. I figure it has something to do with the moon and tides or some weird thing like that.

    1. See my comment to Barney. As far as the tripping goes, I think I'm the world's champion for clumsiness!

  4. I buy a lottery ticket every couple of years with no expectations except to realize that winning would likely be a big pain in the rear if you look at what happens to most winners:)

    1. I think about that too, but of course I promise myself that I will do it differently.

  5. I always have the best of intentions too and somehow the day just slips away. I can't imagine how I ever had a job, a family and a farm and did them all.

    1. I don't know where I went wrong. My kids used to be in awe of my energy and all I was able to keep up with. Now I'm turning into a zombie!

  6. I had no idea people were paying that much for a one night stay in a room in Salem, OR. In a perfect world I would take off to see the eclipse but I would car camp...yes, I know I am "frugal" :D

    Thanks for explaining what Niburu is in your reply to Barney, I had never heard about it either.
