I pride myself on my long term memory. If I hear bits of information that I think will be useful for me in the future, I remember them. I always remember that I owe people money (uh…if I owe you money, now is a good time to remind me). I remember what people said, I remember how they reacted to what I said, I remember what their mood was and I remember my meetings and appointments.

I'd like to add where you put your cell phone to that list. Although you seem to be getting better with that one.
Ah Gourmandise...need to get there again soon! I love the randomness of your thought process, too. :)
I find that Durhams seem to have crazy good memories. Especially the ones I live with. It's scary sometimes.
My list would be 40X that, so good job!
Last week I forgot that I don't like Thai food. Dan ended up eating my plate of food. So disappointing.
Do you know when I discovered my dislike for Thai? Our weekend trip to Portland where we went to that Thai place downtown.
However, I am glad to see that you haven't forgot your incredible ability to fit yourself under random tables...
OK, here's one I hate: I always forget that I don't need a huge ice cream thing at Dairy Queen. I always get some huge thing, and halfway through I think, "I'm good. I don't need anymore of this. Why did I get something this big? Didn't I do this last time? I must remember to get something really small next time." But then I do it again. Idiot.
I've got a great long term memory.
But it's true- each time I pull out of mom and dad's at night, I always catch myself looking at the windows of the landing to see if I can see the headlights reflection flash in Scooter's eyes.
It's sad. And alarming.
you have inherited this gift (long-term memory retention) from your Mother I believe. Becky knows more about my life than I do. Whenever I want to feel a bit nostalgic, I can go to lunch with your Mom and the stroll down memory lane begins. I seldom want it to end.
Hi Laura
I found your avacado, blue cheese, cranberry salad on the what's for dinner blog. Just wondering what measurements you use for the the olive oil, white wine vinegar, and orange juice dressing.
