My problem is that people seem to remember stuff that happens to me, even after I've mostly forgotten all about it.

Maybe you should strive to become more forgettable.

Last night I was in a grocery store and all of a sudden a memory comes up of something really embarrassing I did like two decades ago just pops up and makes me feel like retreating to a cave. Why does my brain sometimes plot against me?

As bad as this is, it's so much better than when this happens when you're trying to go to sleep (or when you wake up in the middle of the night).

my extended family spent about an hour teasing me about how I was breast-fed until I was three.

That is so not cool. I had never thought about that before, although it's not like I'm going to force Ellie to wean for that reason. Anyway, you probably don't need me to say this, but I think it's super cool that your mom breastfed you for that long.

My head is super stuffy feeling and despite NOT taking any drowsy medicine, I am drowsy.

I'm sure some of it's body chemistry, but the Aleve behind-the-counter stuff has had me up and wired for like 36 hours at this point...

when you're trying to go to sleep (or when you wake up in the middle of the night).

That's usually when I get nailed with one of those memories. Basically, at a time when I'm not as good at going pfft, whatever and moving on.

There was some thing on the radio this weekend about people who have 100% recall. As is to be expected, it ain't really a good thing.

::passes coffee through the internets to Kat:: you're a good mom.

Aw thanks. It's not the pre-dawn stuff that gets me. I'm ready to sleep by 7:00. Luckily, so is Noah.

Okay, I should go check in. Bleh.

I'm not doing it on purpose! I don't consider myself all that memorable!

I agree.

And I am still kinda laughing at the woman who failed the class, so Dana, I guess I should feel a little bad too.

Jars- My uncle is still mocking me for making my lower case t's too short when I was first learning to write cursive. I am now 34. Apparantly he teased me at the time and I cried, and he has been making fun of me now for the past 25 or so years!. So sometimes I think people just like to mock, and will find something!

Edited to make Emily look crazy!

I spent quite a while trying to figure out what Sophia made her lover do, and thinking about what an open family she had.

I really like it when typos change the meaning of a sentence. It makes it more fun.

(ETA quote just in case she tries to make me look crazy. Crazy, I tell you, CRAZY! Ahahahahaaaa.... er.)

I have to practice this. Some asshole in a lexus was merging onto the freeway and didn't understand that merging does not mean you try to occupy a space that a car is already filling. It caused a brief minute of road rage and I flipped him off. He proceeded to pull up next to me, slow down, honk his horn, and return the gesture.

I had to forcibly remind myself of the Whatever Principle, lest I call 911 and report him (license plate 5SFY799) as a drunk driver.
