Common Sense? What's that?

I really seem to lack common sense.  Those who know me well, know that I am a very forgetful person...and I tend to not plan things out well and this can make my life and simple tasks chaos and yet I just don't learn. It could be part laziness, or that I didn't find it THAT important, or just the shear fact that it never crossed my mind.  In the end, I know I've frustrated people (sorry family!) but I am even more frustrated with myself most of the time. 

Like forgetting my toothbrush on almost EVERY SINGLE TRIP I've ever taken...going to get a few things that I needed at the store and not coming home with any of it...taking it a step further and making myself a list before going to the store and forgetting the list.  I can't even tell you how many times I've lost my bank card.  I just think Oh it would be so much easier if I didn't carry around a big purse..right. Or when I was getting ready for a trip to New York in Jan and for weeks Ashley was saying "Do you have your passport??" and I kept getting frustrated and saying "YES I know exactly where it is!" and 2 days before I went to look for it and it wasn't where I remembered putting it - talk about panic city!!! I tore my entire apartment apart searching everywhere two or three times and then Sam comes over to help with the search party and picks up my summer purse (which I NEVER use, but because we went to Florida - almost a year before- I had used it) and there it was...I heard the Halleujah Chorus!

And then today.  Last night I got all my Yoga stuff ready and I made a mental note that my extra deodorant is in my car so I'll add that to my things tomorrow.  At the time I made my mental note I had completely forgotten that Ashley was taking my car for the day and would be leaving earlier then me and I'd be going with mom.  I get in the car and I was empty handed...Mom says to me "Do you have a change of clothes for Yoga?" and I say in my head FRIG!, but just as quickly I remember that I have an extra change of clothes at work from doing it yesterday (because I FORGOT to take them home with me...sigh).  So, I'm good again.  Then I get here and realize at 330 that Ashley probably won't make it here to pick me up before I go to Yoga, but that's ok coz I can walk there from here...and then I remember the deoderant...FRIG AGAIN! I have been pushing it just to re-use my yoga clothes from yesterday but today I'm doing HOT yoga where you sweat like a fat girl writing her first love letter within minutes of being in the room...so there was no way I was going to be the stinky girl. NOPE.

So, I got cranky thinking about that and how could I forget so much so easily...and so I decided tonight it just wasn't meant to be. And now, I'm going to Sam's for some delicious dinner and Yoga will have to happen tomorrow!

Cheers!
