A Forgetting Tuesday, December 18, 2012





Life seems settled, rooted happily this morning as it did yesterday morning. Unfortunately yesterday, if something could be forgotten, it was.

My name left me early on. Recipe contents….I never thought to read the cookie recipes before I went shopping. I had wanted to take the bathroom curtains to the cleaners first thing in the morning so they could come home Wednesday. By the time I remembered them, it was late in the day and I can hope they will come home Friday. At least, I remembered the cloth grocery bags the second and third trips out of the house.

Still, I got home and was ready to make cookies by one something. Taking a brief break with a diet coke and the recipe books, I discovered that I had needed soda. Did I have any soda? No.

There are those moments in life when all you can do is laugh at yourself and punt. I put the meatloaf in the oven and curled up with a book. Of course, the meatloaf came out slightly burned on top as I forgot to cover it, but the artichokes were perfect even though I’d forgotten to turn them upside down.




Making a list.....
Checking it twice.....

Muchas Smuchas

G is a funny guy! I live by lists. Even then, I forget stuff, too. [BonnieRose] 12/18/2012 10:19:08 AM
Yesterday my daughter made cookies and delivered them to the local fire department. She's such a good girl. [Sobernt] 12/18/2012 10:49:58 AM
With the Geezer nearby you will never get away with anything [ThomaS] 12/18/2012 1:35:18 PM
Sometimes, checking a list twice isn't enough!
Days like that make me think of thsi quote: "The hurrier I go, the behinder I get" [GypsyWynd]

"My name left me early on..." - that made me smile.
Stress is a great killer of memory but laughter is the best wat to recover it again for sure. Great pic of you with the books.
I hope tomorrow is better. hugs p [Gypsy Spirit]

I'm well-acquainted with forgettings too. You look happy amongst the books! [lelis] 12/18/2012 5:34:41 PM
Oh dear! I know those days. Added to it is the fear: "What if this is just the beginning, and it gets steadily worse?!" However, to date, the next day is always better. May it stay that way, for both of us. [Arbi] 12/18/2012 6:14:59 PM
In my recent OD entry I did what I have long feared, typing pubic instead of public. I laughed and laughed as I hastily edited. Some days take so darn much editing! [TickTockTickTock] 12/18/2012 8:37:40 PM
Thanks Mr. G, making a list and checking it twice is a good idea...but I always seem to leave the list laying on the counter only to remember it when I get to the market!!! And NO, I am not going to write on my hand, arm, leg, or forehead so the list will be where I need it! I am laughing at your entry as it so typifies my life at times also...  [seedys] 12/18/2012 9:53:25 PM
Costco has big jars of pickled artichoke hearts. I love that vinegar taste and there is no waste. Willy of [Willy & Wilma] 12/18/2012 10:13:28 PM
I make lists all the time and still forget things! [gel] 12/18/2012 11:14:57 PM
Without a list, I'm not only clueless, I'm purposless [KatrenCoyote] 12/18/2012 11:51:24 PM
My husband always says "Write it down." [TrilliumZen] 12/19/2012 3:53:30 AM
Everyone is cooking and baking. I need to get crackin, as the Americans would say. Good for you, ma'm! Proud of ya! :-) [the_mysticalmuse] 12/19/2012 10:38:28 AM
Some days are like that (one after the other!) [Tehachap] 1/8/2013 8:43:27 PM
