Cold water and loose lids

I openly admit to being the biggest klutz this side of the Mississippi, but I am still surprised when I do something I could've easily avoided simply by paying full attention to the task at hand.  Last night I was on the phone before going to sleep and as usual I brought a full, ice cold bottle of water to bed with me and throughout the 58 minute conversation I would periodically sip from it, and then put the lid back on tightly "or so I thought", until the next thing I know I am absentmindedly playing with an empty water bottle because I'd dumped it's contents onto my coverlet.  Classic Sam.  Before my water catastrophe, I thought I'd save some time and make cake and brownies and a double batch of icing simultaneously after work yesterday, and WOW what a bad idea that was.  The brownies ended up with some cake ingredients and the cake some of the brownies, and well there is a HUGE difference between the two, okay?  The brownies were ruined, and the cake is well, edible at best.  So disgusted with myself over that one.

Next weekend I am volunteering at the PAC for their show "November" 11/10/12 and then in December: A Charlie Brown Christmas 12/08/12 and then A Christmas Carol 12/09/12, and in between all that I'll be volunteering for the Tulsa Ballet backstage assisting the dancers and staff or at the Gala, or various fundraising events.  Of course I will not be missing my Winterfest 2012 festivities or my annual trip to Muskogee for the Garden of Lights that kicks off Thanksgiving at dusk and closes at 10 every night until New Years Eve.  Last but not least Lights On at Utica Square also Thanksgiving at dusk and you'll need to go early for parking, that I will certainly not miss.  I am not a HUGE fan of the Christmas Parade, but we'll see.

I have a "meet for drinks" thing tonight that I think will be fun, and afterwards I'm meeting up with some girlfriends to bid a fond farewell to one of our favorite little bars that is closing their doors after tonight, so it promises to be pretty packed and people will be coming out that, like me, don't usually go out anymore.  Tomorrow I head to Muskogee to vote early (8 a.m.) and I couldn't be more excited, I have all my state questions cheat sheet so I don't forget once I close the curtain.
