post it note memory





blew this one up just for you Hallie......lmao!





i have a post it note memory. no seriously, i do. it started with my pregnancy with shnookie doodles and it has just gotten worse. not only could i not see my shoes when i was preggy, but i couldn't remember if i had even remembered to put my shoes on. i put the milk in the cabinet and my keys in the fridge. i brushed my teeth with soap and brought the remote control with me in my purse to start my car, because the keys.....well shoot i didn't know where the heck they were. i would have forgotten my head if it wasn't attached, better yet i might have found it in some crazy place....like the laundry.





and yes, i am admitting this one. i once went to the bathroom without pulling my undies down. [uh....yes....i did....]






like you haven't?






i write notes to myself on post it notes....i guess i didn't feel the need to write THAT one down. "note to me: when using the restroom, remember to pull undies down WITH pants before peeing!"







{doh!} um.....yea. thought that was a given.







or not. in my case anyway.
who would have thought, that maybe, just MAYBE, a post it note posted on the wall in front of the potty saying, "don't forget to pull your undies down." would have helped me avoid a mess, an embarrassing encounter at that time. go figure.
luckily, i was at home when this happened, and no one knew.
until now......






and now, way beyond pregnancy....still no memory, or not much of one. i still post it note it everywhere and on everything. it is very hard to see what i am blogging about right now because of the bazillion post it notes all over my computer, they block half the screen.










i have post it notes here at work so i know what i need to be doing now for work, should do later, and better not forget in the future. i have post it notes posted on my checkbook to remind me what i need to buy, pay or spend. [heheheheeee spending is the best one] i have post it notes posted to my day planner to remind me what i need to be doing, where i need to be doing it at, and when i should be doing it.






i have all colors too. so i do have a very colorful memory. okay, well maybe not THAT colorful. more like a pastel yellow, pastel blue, green and pastel pink memory.
a pastel memory.






wow, after writing it out like that......how boring. i think i need some hot pink, flourecent green and electric blue memory.







do they make post it notes in those colors? humm......







i sooooo have a post it note memory. i can be walking somewhere to see someone or to do something, and forget where i am going or WHO i am going to see - or why? or i can be getting ready to tell you something and then my mind is blank, empty, abandoned, vacant.....depleted, like someone pushed the "erase memory button" and then......WTF? and i am just standing there with this dumbfounded look on my face, and people are walking by looking at me with sympathetic stares of [poor girl, is she lost? does she have issues? is she contagious?] and i just know it, or knew it.....that whatever i was going to say or needed to say or DO was major importanto!
geeeez louise!
(then i hear my mother in my hollow empty mind that just lost everything, say, 'if it was important honey, you'll remember it.")







oh yea?






right. so now i am in deep shananigans because that important thing i forgot that i would remember it IF it was important that i couldn't remember it after all even though IF it was important i WOULD remember 'thing' that i didn't remember even though it WAS important after all........crap, what was i saying?






where was i going with this......
heck if i know.
if it was important....i'll write it down later if i remember it.






so you see.....





i have a post it note memory and when i run out of post it notes.....i am screwed. or God forbid a post it note comes unposted and falls off of whatever i posted it on, lost in wherever post it notes go when they fall off their post it notes post - space! place? [eeeeeeeee gad!] then what??? i could be in the wrong place at the wrong time or i could be no where at the wrong place at the wrong time, doing the wrong thing or forgetting the right thing all because i couldn't remember to go there, or here, or wherever it is i should be at or going.....doing......did....done?







crap.







"note to self via post it note: memory does NOT come back after pregnancy. shnookie doodles sucked the memory right out of me and then some. so....buy more post it notes ASAP!







by the way, since you are here......i thought i would point out some yummy, talented blogs to check out....






Frank, he is a fav to read, found him so randomly that i have no idea how i actually found him, or i just don't remember because i didn't think to write it on a post it note [heheheheeee]...but love his blogs and hearing about his business ventures. he rocks!




Hallie, of course, because she whips me into shape in my bloggity blog blog land. and i just love her blogs as well, love hearing about her and her family and of course her butt and stuff......lol. i just know that if shnookie doodles and i lived close by, we would be knocking on their door visiting them often! [tee hee hee]




Scarlet Wanna Be, OMG, is a TRIP and then some, she is a MUST READ. not only is she drop dead gorgeous, she is funny as HELL-O! i can not get enough of her and Big Daddy. they CRACK me up, especially when i am at work reading her ISH and falling on the floor LAUGHING my bootay off (and clapping, she is a clapper too- HOORAY!) and my fellow co-workers think i am going nuts, "poor amy, mommyhood has done her in, she needs a vacation, crazy girl with all the post it notes." seriously though, Scarlett knows how to blog a blog....cleverly witty and stuff! if i lived close to her.....i so know we would be trouble!



Mommyblog is endearing and so well written. this adorable blog has been a fav for awhile. mommyblog is expecting her 2nd child and her first one is a DOLL- and i love love hearing all her fantastic tales. they also have a doggie Dudley- and shnookie doodles and i just love doggies.....Dudley has had some issues, so we are praying all is OKAY.




Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda is hilarious. another family i love to hear about, i feel like i know them so well. she is a freelance writer and her talented blogs are amazingly well written and are so funny and touching, i always go back for MORE!





and the best of the best....






Santa Claus Blog - rocks! OMG - this is the most clever blog ever, i think. i get to read about Santa all year long and hear about him and Mrs. Claus and all the elves, reindeer etc....who knew they had lives AFTER Christmas??? Ha! You have got to check Santa out.....REALLY!







now most of my blog-a-licious bloggers are moms - parents etc....(not all, but MOST) it is funny how you feel like you connect with all these people on so many different levels...


and those above were just a FEW favs.....i have a TON more....and will highlight them now and again!







YAY!
peace forward~be blessed!
oh. and PS stupid spell check would not work for me today in blog blog land, so if stuff is mispelled.....oh well. not my fault.

So much to comment on...

First of all - DO NOT THROW MY POST IT NOTE REMINDER AWAY. Consider it a constant "need" - just leave it attached to the monitor and perhaps (someday if there is a god) you will begin to blog on a more regular basis (what will I do with myself when I don't have to whip you verbally for your lazy blogging habits?)

The pics of you? Funny! But I think you might be losing your mind right along with me. LEt's find a therapist that will take on more than one crazed female at the same time. Can you imagine how fun co-therapy would be for us?

And I TOTALLY would be hanging out with you A LOT if you were close by. Without.A.Doubt.

The pooping stuff? Glad to hear you at least PREFER to drop a Cosby at your OWN pool. I never realized there were so many 'poop phobes" out there! (we may have to start a club with a secret poop handshake) (I just reread that and it sounds WRONG-O!)

Spell check is dead for me and several other bloggers - it died about a week ago. I miss it. Come back spell checker! You made me look smarter than I am!!

I will suggest to Shmoops that he blog when he's over there. I would love it. I still can't believe he has a ship out date. It makes my innards all squishy and since I'm at work, YOU KNOW I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!! (no public pooping for this gal!)

And lastly, I almost NEVER use post it notes....can we still be friends? :)

Amy said...

i am right with you on the memory thing or lack their of!!! i don't know if it's so much related to prenancy or when i hit 30 (which seems ages ago! :(

LunaNik said...

When I was pregnant I would forget to stop at red lights.

No lie.

Hubby wouldn't let me drive after awhile.

BUT...a friend of mine used to forget to put her car in park. She ran over a policeman's foot because of this and smashed up her car after it took off in a parking lot.

♥♥♥ A- Licious ♥♥♥ said...

(tee hee hee) i would never throw your post it note way mama-hallie...lol ;o)

co-therapy? FUN!!!! heheheheee

secret poop hand shake....uh,....UM..er...sounds a little messy and stinky...but....ok? LOL

Sleep deprivation...it starts when you're pregnant and continues, off and on, until your children are...I don't know....38? :)

I was already crazy before I had kids...now I am absolutely CERTIFIABLE!!!!!!!! :)

You are not alone!

Queen of the Mayhem said...

PS: This is nothing a few cocktails could not fix.....just saying! :)

GoteeMan said...

LMAO - I still can't get past the "went to the bathroom without pulling down my... "... HOLY CRAP... you can't make up that kind of funny...

Haven't done that, but I have SHARTED. (reference - "Along Came Polly" - Phillip Seymour Hoffman's character)...

I will be back...

Guess I'll have to stick a note on my pc to remind me to check to see if you've blogged today

Amber said...

I was all set to say something clever like "I invented to the post-it," a la Romie and Michelle, but then wow!!!! What an amazing surprise!!! I wasn't expecting any of that. I feel like I need to hunt you down and give you a giant boobie bump, and from your pictures...girrrrl you could give one right back. Instead, I will award you with my first ever winking butt hole (+) It means, I think you're so fabulous, you make my butt hole wink!!! Enjoy!

Unknown said...

Very funny stuff. Thanks for the mention and for all the other ones that you listed. They are all fabulous. As if I did not have enough work to do now I have more blogs to read...sigh, and more strange sayings to try on people like butt-hole winking.

krissy said...

Oh yeah, I have totally peed without pulling the undies down! Maybe that's why I just won't wear undies anymore...Kidding! Only Kidding!

Dianne said...

I've been making my way through the Everyday Kindness circle and I'm here to tell ya ...

they not only have post-its in neon colors, they have them in all kinds of shapes!

I know this firsthand cause I have post-its that tell me to read the other post-its and where the other post-its might be.

My son is 34 now but yes, Motherhood may be used as a valid excuse for many things! Even 34 years later.

Wonderful World of Weiners said...

Stop winking that butt hole at me!! I may have to consider changing the poopy handshake and NOT telling you!

Wouldn't you be some sorry then!!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Glad you came by via WWoW blog. Hallie's a funny girl!

I love post it notes too. We have all kinds of colors. I make a list for everything. Ask my kids -if it's on the list it gets done!

Have a good one!

Amy said...

Oh man! I don't have Post it notes but I have a planner that I live and die by. It's mass hysteria if I forget where that planner is!
And I am a total believer that the munchkins take your brain cells with them when they exit the premises. My memory got worse after each one. Or maybe it's that I just have so much for to remember.
Hmm, I like the cocktail cures all theory. I'm going to work on that one!

Tara R. said...

I have to write everything down, I'm always making notes to myself... then forget where I put them. =)

blog hopping - etcetera

Ed (zoesdad) said...

I tried the post it notes. Couldn't remember where I left the pen.

Dianne said...

I tagged you for a fun little meme - thought you might enjoy it. Check it out if you can.

Oh - and I'm going to Staples this week - I'm out of Post-Its!!!
