Don't I feel stupid

eveglassWe had a 5-minute power outage today. No worries; I just reset all the clocks and that was that.
Or so I thought.
So there I am, lying in bed this afternoon, half-napping. I know we've got a dinner thing that we want to get to, but I don't remember what time it's set for. The clock says 5:05. Plenty of time. No one sets a dinner for 5:00.
Marc comes back into the room. "When's dinner?" I asked. "Right about now," he said.
My eyes flicker open. "At 5:00?"
"It's 6:30."
Suddenly jolted into a state of awakeness, I look at my clock. Still says 5:05. (Well, 5:06 at this point).
Turns out when I reset the clock, I managed to hit the "set alarm" button for an hour and a half of it, so the clock was set an hour and a half slow, and the alarm was set for 1:30.
Man, I can be stupid sometimes.
We're going anyway. We're gonna be a half-hour late. We haven't RSVPed.
I feel stupid.
