I can top all of that.. couldnt find my glasses, they were on my head. Every morning when I leave and shut the garage door, half the time I have to go back to make sure I closed it. Latest, I got a dent in the side off my car, by backing sideways into a stupd pole at walmart... duh...I went to brush my hair, and used my toothbrush. went to go potty and didnt put the seat up.. sean wouldve cracked up at that one.. lol.. Hope this gave someone a laugh, I just tell people, well I do dye my hair blonde, so I think its the chemicals finally setting in. lol much love and big hugs carla

for the driving past... I use my GPS even locally....lol.....After Scott's shirt thing... I got my white cotton shirts, that were yellowed, washed them. Hung them on clothline, they turned out great, no wrinkles!!!!!just have to iron the collars and cuffs....so I placed cloth pins around them.... as for glasses, I found both pairs on my head... oh wait.... that was even before I became a widow.....lol

Carla, I double process my hair.... double chemicals? Sandee

lol sandee...did you double process on purpose, or by accident, lmbo.. j/k.. big hugs and much love carla

I have reading glasses and distance glasses for driving. I was driving and trying to decide why I wasn't seeing so well...I had the Reading glasses on.

I've left the garage door open both while gone and home at night. My neighbor called to let me know. Left the backdoor open once. Night eggs when I had just bought some 2 days earlier. I wondered why I didn't put them on the list duh! And only remembered to take the list bcuz its on my phone now. I have a Garmin and drove by my own house. meds and vitamins are now in daily reminder containers, and alarms on the phone to remind me. I have been known to shut them off and forget to take them.

Hey, I thought I heard someone talking behind my back -- well now. I've always been a space cadet. One of Juani's many nicknames (always in love of course) for me was Mr. Magoo (I could walk by anything - even an elephant- and not notice it. So I've always been kind of a scatter brain. But now at work its ridiculous. I'll have something handed to me - and within a couple of minutes I have to ask everyone - what happened to that you just gave me. Oh, I must loose at least 5 pens a day now. I walk out the door, walk 10 steps to the car, and everytime can't remember if I locked the house (or the office) and have to walk back and check. Sad thing is, I'm much better now - should have seen me when I was still in the fog. The worst was when I had to do name changes on utilities, bills, bank - you know all that fun stuff. Well, I can't even remember where it was - but I gave them in incorrect house number. 567 instead of 569 - so were almost done with whatever and I had to really think hard when I saw it before I left, and when I told the guy, I think I gave you the wrong address, but couldn't remember the right one - he looked at me like I was nuts. We'd only lived here 7 years.

And while we're on the subject of ironing (not), just so you know, I did have a little experience trying that on my own 30 + years ago for a couple of years before we were married. Found a picture of when I took my oath of office as an attorney that reminded me of this story in the picture I was wearing a 3 piece suit - you know, the suits with a vest (for you youngsters out there), kinda like John Travolta wore in Disco Fever (I was a really terrible dancer too, just so you know!). Anyway, when I started my very first job as a hotshot associate attorney at the young age of 25 (hey, I actually had hair - picture proves it!), I bravely tried to iron my white long sleeve shirt so I'd look all attorney like (must have been another one of those 100% cotton shirts you've all warned me about sooo many times). Anyway, that ironing was for the birds - but see, I was smart back then. So what I did back in those grand ol bachelor days was this - I would iron the cuffs of the sleeves that showed, the collar, and a little bit of the top of the shirt where it buttoned (just enough where the vest wouldn't cover). Then I would wear my 3 piece suit, jacket and vest, so no one could see how wrinkled my shirt was. We didn't have very good A/C in the office, so I sweated like a pig in the summer - but by golly, I looked good! You know, come to think of it, I think Juanita married me just because she felt so sorry for me! And while I'm rolling on the ironing subject, I've still got 2 ironed shirts left in my closet (my hawaiin shirt looked goooood in church today) - so I've still got 2 more weeks of tranquility before all hell breaks loose again that I'm sure you all just can't wait to hear about! Love you all ~ Scott (aka Mr. Magoo)

I bought new clothes andI can't find them the next day. I can't find my glasses today. Still missing.

Lol! All of this hits home! The other day my daughter and I were at Panera Bread for lunch. I needed to use the restroom. I started to follow another woman back the winding hallway. I lost her at some point but didn't give it a second thought. I went into the restroom and wondered why there was just one really big stall. Oh well I thought and did my business. As I was taking my time walking to the sink to wash my hands still wondering why it was such a big room with only one stall, I looked to my left and to my shock saw a urinal!!! I FLEW out of "the men's room" looked frantically around for the ladies room and ran in there! I washed my hands and actually saw the woman I was falling in the first place! Thank God there wasn't anyone else in the men's room w me! I laughed at myself the whole way back to the table! My daughter thought it was pretty typical so I can't really blame it on the "fog". I just have a very active imagination and sometimes don't know how I get from one place to another!
Have a good day everyone!

Oh I have lots of widow brain. Driving down the road and go directly to work on a Saturday. Put my purse in the refrigerator, then looked for it for an hour, Woke up not knowing what day it is or where I am. (happens all the time)
Ordered take out for myself and my husband.... couldn't eat it after that
Stood in front of the closet not knowing how to put the hanger on the rod?? Wrote a check to my DOG!!!

Still have lots of widow's brain and I have decided its my new way of life, I need a GPS or a beeper so the kids can find me

i have 3 bottles of soya sauce in my pantry. I have about 7 pairs of reading glasses and still can't find them. Always have to check the front door at least once. Made dinner for my kids and grandkids yesterday (Thanksgiving-Canada) and it took twice as long because I had to check and recheck ingredients. The list goes on... Like Scott, sad to say i was like this before and now, well it is twice as bad. Hugs - Patti

OK.... I don't feel as bad about doing things wrong now. I believe you all topped me..... roflmbo.... sandee

Well, so far I think the best one is writing a check to the dog! Keep them coming though! I am looking into reservations for all of us at the looney bin! Hugs and Love, Michele

Michele.. I agree with you. Also can we get a group plan for that? Sandee

Actually Sandee, I was thinking we ought to get paid to go! It would be worth it for society to keep us off the streets!! lol
