muck_a_luck4 Hobbits Walk Into a Bar from Premiere. Good article. Funny opening piece. Hmmmm.
Mostly, this weekend made me feel like I need a new brain. Left the groceries again, but this time, not at the Safeway, 4 minutes from the house. At Shoppers', all the way in Sterling. Left them there, drove to Harris Teeter, picked up the scallops and a few other specialty items, went back out to the car, put the two Teeter store bags in the trunk and realized that there were no groceries. Happily, the grocery honor system did not break down and it was a cold day. But I'm really beginning to doubt my sanity over this. If I go down with mad cow, we can all say the first indication was my problem remembering the groceries.
Also, sobbed over Lost In Translation. If I'd known ahead of time that it was *that* kind of movie, I might have skipped it. But it was very good. And eerily alienating. Just watching it I felt lonely.
Made an excellent pot roast on Saturday. But the much anticipated scallops were a big disappointment. Oh, well. Win some and lose some.

And don't worry about the groceries. It's not Mad Cow Disease, it's just age!!!
Two weeks ago, we both went into town, and I forgot my wallet and my phone. It was when I was sending your CDs, and had to get other stuff on the way back from the post office. So, on the way, I kept reminding myself to remember to say, "I need money" before I got out of the car. We got talking about something else, and then he dropped me off, and went to get the car washed, having arranged to meet in Safeway car park 30 mins later.
When I got to the post office, no money!!!! So I walked round to Safeway's to wait 30 mins for him to come and get me. As I walked into the car park, he was pulling out, having called at the cashpoint there before getting the car done!
I raced after him, but he was just too far ahead. If I had hurried to Safeways, I would have caught him!!! So, waited for him to come back, then went off to do what I needed to do!
It's age, I tell you!!
Mad Cow and scatterbrains

Dude! What a terrible day, though. My sympathies.
I never have cash on me because I realy almost completely on my debit card. Can't be trusted with cash. I spend it...

I forgot to go to the store... heading out to the restaurant that my brother called to invite me to dinner to. I was deep in this conversation (with myself, there is usually no one else to talk with that understands me as well) when I realize that I passed the restaurant 2 miles ago and was just heading around the circle to go back home!!!! Of course I turned around and went back to where my brother was patiently awaiting me. So just to make light of it, I started to chastise myself about taking the long way around when he mentions that he didn't notice me drive by. *sigh* .So I could have totally spared myself any further humiliation (being teased by my brother) by not even having said a thing about it.
I won't tell you about how I was heading to my sons and needed to stop to get my granddaughter some gum.. and rode right past the store.. deep in those one sided conversations I seem to have all too often... or how I needed gas and kept telling myself that I needed gas, which of course went into some other rant and there I am.. pulling up in the drive way..
and, I won't get started on bank cards.. me having my 5th one.. nah those are things I think I'll just keep to myself
