Almost embarrassed to admit this
May 27, 2007
Rob had to fax something for me on Friday. Why yes, I do have a fax machine of my own. But no, I have no idea how to work it. Yes, I could read the manual again and tinker with it again.
But I have more important things to do with my time like, um, surf the internet and eat my body weight in candy. Oh yeah, and raise them there children. It’s so much simpler to feign ignorance and have my husband do it.
I got it ready for him before he left for work. I looked around my “desk” (ironic quotes) and found a phone number written down on a yellow sticky pad. I didn’t really give it much thought as I tore the page off the pad, stuck it on my papers and handed it to him.
When Rob came home Friday night he said that the fax wouldn’t go through. Something he thought was rather strange, but I just just shrugged. Welcome to my world.
He gave me the fax and told me to email the person and ask if I had written the number down incorrectly.
He also thought it was strange that the phone number was an 866 number. I just shrugged again. Nothing is surprising in my world.
Tonight I was cleaning up my “desk” (ironic quotes) and came across the fax and suddenly it hit me. I must have written this phone number down for one of my kids.
1-866-436-5701 or perhaps you are more familiar with 1-866-IDOLS-01.
Yes, I had a fax sent to American Idol.
Are you really surprised now that I don’t know how to work my fax machine?

BWAHAHAHA! Perfect.
May 27th, 2007 at 10:46 pmSo the big question is….who were you voting for?!
May 27th, 2007 at 10:54 pmDo all of your kids vote for same person?
May 27th, 2007 at 11:25 pmDon’t be embarrassed, like no one else has ever faxed American Idol before. Perhaps they need to improve their connection with your TIVO and needed reminding. They could be getting a little big for their britches with the success of the show.
GO YOU MEDIA MOGUL YOU!
May 28th, 2007 at 2:22 amI love it. That is SOOOO something I would do!
May 28th, 2007 at 2:29 amI have had those moments of , Gee, I am so glad my idiocacy failed to promote it self across the land but sheesh, I feel purty dumb. I called and left a message for a friend and didn’t bother to listen to the quick message..it was the number of my hair salon and I called my friend a asshole (jokingly..) because they had been late to our last get together. It did not sound right and I didn’t think i could explain it away so I never went back. THe shame. and duh.
May 28th, 2007 at 8:06 amOh, sure, right. “One of your kids.” Yuh-huh.
Mmhmm.
Sure.
May 28th, 2007 at 8:42 amPersonally, I love that you even had that number just laying around…

Also funny that you actually wrote the number down!
I just read the Fuck/Truck post and almost choked on my yogurt!
You are so funny.
I have been showing my GH magazine to anyone who will look, saying “I KNOW her!”
May 28th, 2007 at 4:42 pmI am laughing so hard I’m snorting Diet Coke out my nose! (sorry, Paula)
May 28th, 2007 at 6:29 pmOnce I read that it was an *866* number I knew exactly where you were headed with this post.
That’s too funny.
May 28th, 2007 at 8:19 pmthat is AWESOME! hee hee hee
May 28th, 2007 at 11:41 pmLOL - pure genious!
May 29th, 2007 at 8:02 amHahahaha! You are so funny.
May 29th, 2007 at 8:09 amI feign ignorance about John’s fax machine, too. It is just so much easier to get him to do it than trying to remember which buttons to push.
That’s pretty funny!!! Sounds like something I’d do!
