Hello, my name is “Zoot” and I’m a total moron
My family has a membership at our local botanical gardens. We are very proud of this membership and we use it often. We even went so far this year as to purchase $100 worth of Galaxy of Lights tickets to give out as Christmas presents. Galaxy of Lights brings Christmas decorations to the botanical gardens in the form of a fantasy wonderland. It’s awesome and we love it every year.
Well – I still hadn’t gotten my tickets yet as of this weekend. When I received a large envelope with the HSVBG logo on the front, I assumed it was the tickets. But I opened it and I saw (1) An invitation to the members only walk through in two weeks that insisted we RSVP but left no number to call and (2) What I thought was another card requesting us to buy tickets. I started getting stressed because if they were asking us to buy tickets, did that mean they didn’t have record of our previous order?
So, I called them today to see what was up. The first thing they told me is that there was a big mail-out this morning and our tickets were probably en route. Then, I asked her about the Member’s Only Walk-Thru. “Um, yes. It says I’m supposed to RSVP, but it doesn’t say who to RSVP with.” She very politely said that we RSVP with her, but that we can just send the card to her and that is the easiest way. “What card?” Then, I looked at what I had thought was a card requesting that we buy tickets but in reality was an RSVP card. Which makes SO MUCH MORE SENSE. Why am I such an idiot? Why did I assume the card that came with the invitation would be anything other than a card to RSVP for the event?
In my defense, the RSVP card was about the same size as the Galaxy of Lights ticket order card. But that is the only defense I have. Which, I’m pretty sure, still makes me an idiot.
But – an entirely endearing idiot.
See…. more pregnancy symptoms – pregnancy brain
Yes, I agree. Pregnancy brain. My advice to you is buy many post it notes. The more children you have, the bigger the brain farts.
Now, are you going to the members only walk-thru? More importantly…will you be taking pictures?
I always love your botanical gardens pictures. It looks like such a pretty place. If I ever visit Huntsville I’ll be sure to check it out.
Hey, I thought I did a gravatarm, but it didn’t show up. I wonder why!!
Are you pregnant or what!
yes, blame the mommybrain. it’s always at fault and is relentless!
I’m queen of not reading first.
It’s so much easier to just call and ask.
Reading and thinking can hurt your brain.
I’ve done that myself. I blame it on doing too many things at once. You’re welcome to use it as your story
