Things I Can't Seem to Remember

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.

However, there are certain things I can’t seem to remember. Whether it’s because I just can’t convince myself they’re true or I simply let them slip my mind, I don’t know. But as it took me 20 minutes to get from 1300 East to 400 West today, I made a list in my head.

• Going down 300 S. takes twice as long as any other street.
• Chinese food makes me sick.
• The code to my parents’ garage door.
• Scooter’s not there anymore.
• How to feed the paper if I want to print on the other side.
• Not one of the pens in my drawer here actually works.

• Blogger doesn't work so well in Firefox.
• I don’t own a ladle.
• The password to my Rocky Mountain Power online account.

• Mucinex makes me crazy.
• NyQuil makes me groggy.

• Extreme Home Makeover makes me cry.
• There’s ice cream in the freezer.
