Are you forgetful? Absentminded?

Don't you just hate it when you can't remember something so simple? It's like minor, simple everday things that one would do for routine and boom you just draw a blank all of a sudden. Let's see, just where did I put those car keys? I'm looking all over for my car keys. Spend about 10 minutes back tracking, and low and behold, there they are, right in my hand. I have other stuff in that hand also, it's such a habit to start getting things in order that sometimes I feel like I'm forgetting something and meanwhile I didn't. Do you ever get like that?

Since I was a very little girl, my family has told me I would lose my head if it weren't attached...and it's 100% true! I'm the world's worst for losing my car keys. I've been using a spare now for 4 days becuase I misplaced the real set. ARGH! I'll find them when I clean up the house. I have a 6 year old and a 16 month old, so there's clutter everywhere here. It's no wonder I can't keep up with anything!

I do hope you find your car keys. I had to make a spare for my doors because I had a bad habit of locking my keys in the car. It sure costs alot when you have to get someone to un-lock you out.

Yes, I do that a lot especially when I am stressed out or have to go somewhere. I carry things like cards, bills or phones and misplace it and search for it. Cell phones are easy to find though as I give a ring to it from my landline or other phones. It was funny the other day when my dad was searching for the glasses he was already wearing. He must have searched it for a good ten minutes before I asked what he was looking for.

LOL I can relate to that. I can be the same way if I have a thought or want to say something and I forget just like that. More than I like. Did you have another phone ended up with a break from the phone until you found it?
