~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There was a time when I thought I might want to be an event planner.
And, of course, anyone I mentioned this to immediately asked one question…
“Are you detail oriented?”
“Sure!” I always replied. I just kind of assumed that being able to run a zillion tasks in your head and the accomplish them at once (i.e., being a bartender/waitress) was pretty much the same thing.
It ain’t.
Years later, after working in fields other than food service, I have realized that I am, quite possibly, the LEAST detail-oriented person on the planet.
In the past month alone, I have made approximately 183 conflicting plans with friends and family, some of which involved very important things like Planned Trips Out of Town and B’s Parents Coming to Visit. It’s become a running joke among my besties.
And by “joke” I mean, they’ve sort of wanted to kill me a lot. Hardee har…
Sometimes I forget to WIPE, for chrissakes. (Okay, kidding. But I HAVE forgotten to flush at a few key moments… Can’t you just smell a TMIT?)
I am 25 years old, and I am already so absent-minded, if I was 80 they’d put me in a home.
And, yes, to my credit, I can do a thousand things at once… but I’ll do them completely out of order, and probably forget at least one of them.
Though, one out of a thousand ain’t bad.
Except when it’s somebody’s wedding day, and you forgot the cake.
(Which I could TOTALLY see myself doing.)
But, here’s the thing. I’ve thought about it long and hard, and, well…
I’m okay with it.
Sometimes it’s definitely annoying, like when I take the garbage and let the door close behind me and am totally wearing booty shorts and no bra because it’s my day off and SHIT now I have to ring the neighbors’ doorbells and pray someone is home to let me in…
And of course it’s the totally straight and awkward guy from downstairs, not the charming gay guy from UPSTAIRS, who would just be all “Oh, aren’t you a hot mess!” and not try to score a peek at my blouse bunnies.
*Deep breath* So, yeah, even though stuff like that is irritating, I’m cool with it. Because I’d rather be a little scatterbrained and able to laugh at my crazy ass self, than be totally organized and pinchy-faced when things don’t go according to plan, or, yanno, so anal-retentive that I poop diamonds.
(I’ll take the diamonds, though. Sans poop, if possible, but whatevs.)
Besides, if I had my shit together… well, this blog wouldn’t be very entertaining, now, would it?
Yeah, that’s it… I’m doing it for you! I am such a giver.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Now, has anyone seen my sunglasses?
{ 37 comments }
No bra and booty shorts is nothing. The people at Whole Paycheck must know me as “Nightgown Lady” because I most definitely grocery shop in my pajamas. Sometimes, at noon.
Oh my! You are on WordPress now! Joy!
I am completely scattered brained as well. So much so my life basically depends on post it notes written to myself and posted in just about every place on can think of – around my computer monitor, on my cell phone, bathroom mirror, door knob, dash board of the car. Like yourself, I am completely 100% ok with it. Its just how I am. =)
I’m totally the diamond pooper type, but without the rewards
I love it! Was the same way at your age AND I had 2 kids by then. No, maybe one, yeah, I think it was just the one. Or it could have been two and I forgot one somewhere. Anyway. . . what was I saying? Oh yeah, it wont get better sweetie, sorry.
Blouse bunnies…I like that a lot. I think I’m going to start saying that. You’re such a smart lady, so witty!
i am so absent minded sometimes too it’s ridiculous. now i just have to write everything down or guaranteed i’ll forget something. oy.
Well, you certainly look cute. And details are overrated. I think it keeps life interesting, don’t you?
Life is a lot kinder and gentler when you’re slightly off balance. Embrace it!
event planning is no fun when it’s going on. but the rewards are worth it. I have to keep telling myself that to get me through it.
why is everyone going to wordpress? why?
and i am so absent minded as well. my boyfriend always makes fun of me because i can remember the most random things from high school classes and ace my classes but i have probably no common sense.
we always say that i got back in the book smart line and missed he common sense train
hee hee, blouse bunnies!
I feel so cheated that I’ve never had a charming gay guy say I’m a hot mess. Because I totally am one! It would be perfect and endearing and I’m pretty sure Debra Messing would play me in the movie adaption of my life if that happened!
Whaa? Where’d all your comments go. Blogger stold them, let’s kick his ass Seabass!
Please to forgive the copy and paste job, but blogger lost the comments from the last few posts!!!

I forget or lose things all the time. Which is worrying considering my job requires a lot of multi-tasking and detail-thinking as well. I did try event planning once but didn’t really enjoy it. Strangely enough though it was my hubby who somehow forgot to pack his underwear a day before our wedding day (we were staying in a hotel) so on the actual day his mom had to bring him spares. The best man’s speech basically wrote itself.
Loved the profile you did for Liz by the way. You should start writing people’s CV’s as well… would make a lot more HR managers happy I think
Love the blog!

I thought I was the only person in the world to lock keys in a running car. Well, still might be the only guy to do that, or at least admit it.

Hey, Hubby locked our keys in our car once too, with it running….and we were in a bar before he remembered. And no, he’s not an event planner either.

I’m the same way, I used to accidentally throw on two diff flops on my way to class (glad I haven’t done it yet in the real world), I have to search for my keys EVERY morning, and once I have those keys I will def lock myself out. People get very frustrated with me lol but I think it stems from taking only 10 minutes to get dressed every morning.
Glad you are doing the blog housekeeping, I switched over a couple days ago and it was quick and painless!

Rebel Mel said…
I have been talking about this same deal for months! I used to bartend and waitress, and I definitely at one point thought I should start my own party planning business. I got as far as finding someone else on craigslist to do this with me, but she stopped responding to my emails, which was probably for the best.
I work in an office alone 99% of the time, meaning I have keys that I NEED to get into the office. How many times do you think I have forgotten them at home? Or worse, locked them in the office? And even funnier, thought they were home, ran back home, realized they weren’t there, came to the conclusion that they were locked in the office, called the owner of the building to have him let me in, only to find the keys in my left breast pocket. Cause that happened two weeks ago.

Sapphire said…
I’m the same way. Only it becomes so less endearing and more ‘ Damn, she is a total flake’ when you forget that you are class mom and were supposed to bring the snacks or when you forget a Dr.’s appointment and they charge you $25 for not showing up.
People just CANNOT appreciate a good scatterbrain these days!!!

i’ve done the keys-locked-in-a-running-car thing plenty of times. my dad is sick of coming to rescue me. the last time, he went and had a new key made at the dealership, drove up and dropped it out the window with a “there ya go.”

Okay, I think this post is a sign that I need to blog about that thing I showed you yesterday. But if my sister gets mad at me mercilessly making fun of her, it’s on your head.
I think she might be pooping diamonds RIGHT NOW. I’ll see if I can get you some. At least they’re not from Jared.

I’ve told my story of locking myself out of my apartment. Do it while wearing just your underwear in South Bend in the dead of winter and you’ll remember your keys. Trust me.
Also, I think your sunglasses are in your car…which may or may not still be running.

I’ve actually gotten locked out of my brain, when TWICE, not once but TWICE, in the middle of the week, I wake up and forget i have to come to work. Who in the world forgets to go to work?! Seems like I started that trend.
So yeah shit like that makes it good for you and other people to laugh at one’s brain farting self.

Chris said…
If it makes you feel better my wife is forggetful. RRRREally forgetful. Locking the keys in the car while its running. Locking the neighbors keys in their house while they are out of town and we are supposed to be taking care of stuff in their house while they are gone. Locking herself in bedrooms, bathrooms et cetera. So, unfortunately, its only going to get worse for you. Poor B.

If I had a dime for every time I started freaking out that I lost my phone WHILE I WAS TALKING TO SOMEONE ON IT. I don’t lose sunglasses as much but I constantly break them. I hated those kids in school who had everything organized down to a “t” in their pink folders while I scrounged through a thousand crumpled papers in my backpack. Yeah, I think it’s safe to say that I am NOT at all detail oriented!

Last weekend I locked my keys in the trunk TWICE in the same day. The first time I was 80 miles from home in New Jersey and had to pay for a locksmith to break in for me. With a sigh of relief I swore I’d never to THAT again. Then I did it as soon as I got home. And realized that I’d left my phone in New Jersey. And that’s a good day for me.

i think i’m a much happier person for not being too detail-oriented. because like you said, now the details can’t get me all in a snit if they’re not exactly the way i wanted/planned. instead i’m all “oh! hey! that was a great idea for someone (else) to bring forks to the dinner table! rock on!”

Now see I do those things but I have an excuse….I’m OLD!
I took a “dealing with stress” class one time and was told we do those things when we have too much going on. Hello! Have you met me? I’m a mom, a wife, an enabler who can’t say no…
Oh and you know what I got out of the class? BREATH… Um yeah I pretty much do that without thinking. Then I realized I had been holding my breath through the hour class.

I would LOVE to have an absent-minded wedding planner! As long as I could pick the things you forget – like picking the groom’s cranky, judgemental grandparents up from the airport.
And if anyone complains about a missing cake or whatever, we send them to the bar in the same parking lot to mellow out!

LiLu- As I seem to have a genuine affection for you, I will try to help… You never confess to being bad at details- you say “I paint Life with a broad brush”.. You never admit to forgetting something, as odds are in your favor the person you are talking to is worse at this than you.. Never miss an opportunity to explain any lack in your social ignorance as your flamboyant style in dealing with “the unforeseen moments” of Life.. This advice will leave them puzzled, but not displeased…

Can you imagine how much it would hurt to poop diamonds? It would be like those pointy poops that feel like they have daggers in them.
And imagine if you tried to squeeze a quiet fart out at work and when you lifted your cheek a little .5 carat diamond would slip into you pants. How awkward.

SassyLittleGinger said…
I’m exactly the same way, I just kinda say “yea” to everything then filter through it when it all comes to me and go back and say “oops, no, can’t do that.” i have a planner, somewhere, but i don’t know what i’m supposed to do with it. i don’t think i could handle being organized and detail oriented, it seems too hard. if everything ends up getting done one way or another, who cares?
and did you lose your sunglasses? hmm? haven’t seen them.

I don’t know… but I’m with you, better than being OCD!

Honestly I don’t think it is your (or anyone’s) fault about events piling themselves up on certain days. Even the most detail minded people have troubles planning that shit out…kinda like last month when I had an out of state wedding mid month, a house to sit on the 15th, and two parties to go to the weekend of the 13th. So not my fault!
But I digress…

Hi, I just came across you blog and love it. I’m the same way about forgetting things and not being quite “all there” at the most important times.
I was the matron of honor and my sister-in-laws wedding and not only did I forget to zip up her dress, I pulled her veil half way off during the service, and I also forgot his ring. Ya not my best moment in life but she still loves me.

This anal-retentive business you speak of? I have it. Its an awful condition. One that has led to years of therapy in an attempt to not have a stroke when running 12 seconds late (and viewing “late” as being less than 10 minutes early). Oh, the neurosis! Its fun.

I totally agree, we are all much better for it when you are a hot mess. Also, I hate super organized, over-planners. Where’s the fun in that?
Besides, I locked myself out of my old place three times in six months and I’ve got the bruises on my leg that look suspiciously like the window sill to prove it. But now I can tell people I McGrubered my way in.

I always look for my sunglasses when they are on my head. Are you trying to say that’s not normal?
Or the time I, for some reason, put my engagement ring on my right hand ring finger, then freaked out, because, oh my god I lost it!

If you could poop diamonds I’d follow you around and be your pooper scooper. It would be like we’re on parade and everyone would cheer for me because they always do for the pooper scooper!
July 8, 2009 3:44 PM
Loved this. You’re a lot like me. Poor kid.
I’ve definitely had those moments. And especially in my 20s. I’m embarrassed to say how many times I locked my keys in the car – while it was running. Once I didn’t even realize it and enjoyed a leisurely lunch at the long since gone Houston’s in Georgetown. Of course I was such a pro at this by that time that I just pulled out my extra key and problem solved!
Blouse Bunnies. I love it. I may just have to keep saying it. Blouse bunnies blouse bunnies blouse bunnies.
I think there is some kind of inspirational quote for scatterbrained people, like messy desks are genius at work or something?
I am going to assume this is wordpress since I am signing in *sigh* I am so lazy.
Love the picture! I am the same way. My mantra is “Has anyone seen my keys?”
So, I wanted to be a wedding planner after watching The Wedding Planner…but then my mom reminded me that odds were I *wasn’t* going to meet Matthew McConaughey and fall madly in love after getting my shoe stuck in the street and almost die by way of a runaway garbage bin only to be saved by an amazing children’s doctor who just so happened to be Matthew McConaughey.
She did say I had a pretty good chance at a loser driving a Vespa though….
I think your sunglasses are in my fridge, or are they mine?
Have you got my milk?
I am just so happy to finally be able to sign on to your site again. I had total withdrawls.
Anyhoo, it is totally fine to be absentminded. It just makes your life more interesting!
I have tried to comment for a couple of days, no luck but have been reading your posts!! Finally, I have somehow gotten back to being SUBSCRIBED!!
Anyways, I guess you will not be an EVENT PLANNER anytime soon!!
I’m sorry- it was all screwed up for a bit while we tried to get everything moved over! Glad to have you back
My darlingest diamond dumpling LiLu..
Thank you for the ever so laughable reminder that we are all at times imperfectly perfect .. and if we cant laugh then we need to be tickled until tears of surrender are coming from the eyes !!!
I am with you on the forgetfulness. Usually I’m the reliable one with the impeccable memory. Lately I’ve totally FAILED at that. Case in point: I forgot both my mom’s and my best friend’s birthdays.
When we were planning our wedding, a number of our vendors told me I had what it takes to be in the wedding industry. In fact, a few of them asked if I had ever considered wedding planning. My response? I’d do it, IF I didn’t have to deal with brides and their families. I’m not kidding. Event planning is easy. Client management is hard. Plus, I like my weekends. =)
I’d take the diamonds sans the poop, too.
I am so going to have to take your lead and kick Blogger to the curb because, well, they’ve been annoying me to no end.
First of all – jealous of your move. Secondly, you totally remind me of my sister with this post and honestly it’s awesome that you’re okay with it because you should be! I love when people can just roll with it.
Um…are you ME?!
I try to be all orderly and organised but it NEVER goes to plan. I’m clumsy too.
Great combination!!
I somehow muddle through life and sometimes it frustrates the hell out of me – I think i’m an anal retentive trapped in an ADHD person’s brain – but then sometimes I just accept it and take the good stories and blog about them lol.
I operate much in the same sense. Details-(…something catchy that rhythms with ‘details’). Except…I have a wiener. I’m not so good at multi-tasking either. Gather ’round, you see, I have what the ancient people of Maya called “one with corn for brain”. Wait, no. I most definitely made that up because I’m pretty sure the Mayans profoundly respected…wait…what the hell am I talking about? I have ADD. I lose focus a lot and it shows up in a lot of my writing. Even in my school assignments which my teacher really doesn’t mind a whole lot. Trying to do two things; the chances of me messing up both of them jump to an upwards of fifty percent.
One task at a time; keep it simple.
I feel the same way! I have so much going on with my blog and my personal life that generally I forget really important things that have to do with one or the other. Everyday I wonder where the time went all the while accomplishing very little. Wonder how that happens?
well i am totally the diamond pooper… but here is the thing… i am you too… i just aspire to be the diamond pooper… i am like crazy OCD with NOOOO memory… get it?
Dude. Thank you for writing this post! It turns out I am not a crazy freak after all. I refer to it as my super-early-onset Alzheimers.
It gets worse during PMS when I become about 50% clumsier and more forgetful. My Husband says he knows when I’m starting to get PMS because that’s when I forget to flush.
“it makes my doody twinkle”
i lost my glasses last night. i cursed. i looked . . . THROUGH them on my face until i found them.
I’m the same way, and profess to everyone around me that it’s what make me ME!
I tried to post, “Love the post.” However, I was told that the comment was too short and to try again. I hope this meets the word minimum!
