Proof that caffeine is a necessary way to start the day...

I was out of almond milk so I didn't get my coffee this morning.

I was making my oatmeal and I put cumin in it instead of cinnamon because I was apparently too tired to read the label correctly and didn't notice the aroma right away.

Have you done anything stupid lately and blamed it on a lack of caffeine?

    HA.. I once put my gallon of milk in the microwave instead of the fridge, prior to having my coffee. Not a good day, I had a newborn and 2 year old milk addict that couldn't understand why we can't drink the milk that sat in the microwave all morning.

    No water in the coffee pot, wait 10 minutes for it to brew, FAIL!
    I've done the cumin/cinnamon mix-up to!
    Refilled the Brita and immediately tried to pour a glass of water; water ALL OVER the counter!




    Pre- MFP: Ben and Jerry's in the fridge not freezer.

    I believe you do.

    I probably should have just grabbed a spoon and dug into the coffee grounds this morning, especially since I was up for several hours in the middle of the night last night.

    I've done the whole fridge/cupboard swap with the milk cereal before....

    Went to brush my teeth, grabbed the brush, grabbed the toothpaste, turned on water, opened toothpaste, wet toothbrush, closed toothpaste and forgot to actually put it ON the toothbrush

    Put my keys in the fridge

    Walked into the bathroom, forgot why I was in there, walked out and then remembered I had to pee LOL

    Sadly, this was while cooking dinner and after having had coffee for the day, but I was cooking a nice meal for my dad and trying to impress him (it was when I was still new to cooking) and went to saute some mushrooms in garlic butter. I cut a piece of butter off the stick, then threw the butter in the sink and the knife in the frying pan. At least my dad got a kick of it it; he said it proves I'm his daughter

    Hilarious. I did something similar a few weeks ago. I had a beautiful protein, yogurt, peanut butter and berry shake going in the blender when I dumped in a load of Lawry's Seasoned salt....instead of cinnamon. I drank it, cringing the entire way.

    You are a better person than I am - I dumped my oatmeal out and started over.

    .

    I've done the opposite, made a pot of coffee, but forgot the coffee.

    Also, poured broth in my cereal (the almond milk box and broth box look very similar)

    I made a cup of tea and forgot to put the tea bag in. I had a lovely cup of hot water, sugar, and milk.

    Depilatory Cream on my toothbrush instead of toothpaste. Did NOT taste good! Also, moisturiser in my hair instead of shampoo. That took AGES to rinse out!

    I have done both of these as well as MANY other things due to sleepiness and lack of coffee. I definately need at least a cup to start my day!

    I do stuff like that all the time. I work in a coffee shop, and at least twice a week I'll start brewing a pot of coffee without actually putting a pot on the machine...I do a lot of mopping at work lol

    hmmm, my mind is kinda weird these days. I went to put a baking sheet away in a cupboard near the fridge and discovered the veggie burgers I meant to put in the freezer a few nights ago in the cupboard. Into the garbage they went, but not before hubby asked, hey how long were they there? are they still good?
