I have always felt I was a little "out there" at times. Sometimes I would just say that I was being a blonde or make up some other excuse, but let's face it...I'm getting forgetful. Jay is constantly telling me that he has told me something and I have forgotten. I have been blaming him for not remembering to tell me, even though he thinks he does. But now, I have to admit that I think he might be right. Here's a classic example of what has been happening all too frequently lately:
Diet coke is my "coffee" in the morning. Has been since post-high school, and probably always will be. Each night I put one in the fridge for the next morning.
Yesterday morning I got up, went to the bathroom, let the dogs out and walked to the fridge and my diet coke wasn't in there. I looked around the kitchen - nothing. I saw the container and saw one was missing, so I knew I had put it in the fridge, but where did it go? I couldn't find it anywhere. So, I grab another one and put it in the freezer so it will get cold faster. I let the dogs back in, change my clothes and head into my office to check emails. There on my desk sits my diet coke that was missing....and it was cold.
No one else was in the house except Austin and he was still sleeping. I don't even remember getting it out of the fridge...I still don't. I also don't remember going into my office before I went to check emails. I'd blame Jay for playing a trick on me but he had been selling pigs since 3 am and it wouldn't still be cold by 6am.
That freaked me out, and because I have no brain left, I made the classic mistake and I told my husband. Bad move. He has tormented me ever since. He asked where Austin was...or if I even remember WHO Austin was. When I said I was going to run to the grocery store he handed me the GPS incase I forgot where it was. When will I learn that a lack of communication can sometimes be a good thing in a marriage?
So I grabbed Austin and we headed out. We stopped by Best Buy and Austin was super excited because he LOVES that store. I shot down his excitement when he realized this trip was for me and only me. I told him I had heard about brain games and I had to have them now. I was like a drug addict needing my fix. Austin helped hook me up (I may be forgetful, but I'm still cool because I know that cool people say "hook me up") with a Nintendo DS that has 4 different brain testing type games. All guarantee to keep your brain sharp and functioning great. Cool beans.
We ran to the grocery store and then came home. I got the game out and all set up. I was going to take a picture of the pretty pink unit I got, but my digital camera is dead and I have forgotten where I put the charger. Yea I know.... I need to start playing those games right now!
