So, I'm posting this to let the world know that my brain is dumb and I know it. What the heck is my problem with remembering things? Is it some sort of vitamin deficency, or is my memory really this bad. I'm sick of forgetting things. I know this rant sounds dumb, but I have NEVER been good with names,dates,you name it, and I'm officially bugged. Someone introduces themselves to me and you whould hope that I could tell you their name five seconds later. Well, don't hold your breath. You will die from suffocation. I still don't know half of the names in my ward and it's not like its people I never talk to. I know faces, but that's it. I can't even repeat my visiting teaching partner's name without some intense thought and time and we've been together for a year and a half, without missing a month. (she doen't let us).
Well anyway, this past week I was really bugged by a date. January 17. What is it that is special about Jan 17? Oh ya, it's my friend Kim's birthday. Oh wait, no,no,no,, its not; kim's is the 12th. Did someone die on the 17th? I don't think anyone was born on the 17th. Luke is the 15th, Lee the 16th, and Riker the 18th,but no 17th. Is there a show I wanted to watch on the 17th? Did I once meet someone on the 17th? Have I gained 17 pounds on the 17th? Well anyway, this is what was going on in my head all week. I was thinking about it in the tub, in bed, doing the dishes, and after a week of this I never wanted to see or hear anything about the number 17 again. But, of course, I counldn't let it go. I would like to thank Mel for restoring my sleep to me. For giving me back my sanity. I can now soak in the tub in piece. I checked out Mel's blog and realized that the 17th was Jac and Mel's WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!!!! Well anyway, happy anniversary. Sorry it's late, but I couldn't tell you that earlier becuase I had no freaking idea what had happened on the 17th. You know something, that is the only wedding date in the family that I can remember.(well, when I'm reminded):)
Does anyone have any secret elixir or some sort of mix-your-own remedy for forgetfulness? (I've tried gorging myself on sweets but, I'm sorry to say that the clinical trials have not come out too well.)

Sooo funny because Jac is the same way. I think he actually remembers my birthday now instead of having it mixed up with Jeff's! He can't remember a name to save his life! I am pretty good at names, dates are a different story! I'm glad I could restore your peace of mind, too!!:)
I can't beleive that after all this time you can remember my birthday! You are amazing!
