Sometimes I wish I could actually take pictures with my eyes. Just at a thought take a shot and download it print it whatever.
There are so many things I would love to remember, and I think I wish I could remember this moment this image, and I know I will forget.
I seem to have the worst memory. I have very few memories beyond 5-7 years out. Other people seem to remember everything, the name of their second grade teacher, what they were wearing the first day of high school..stuff like that. I don’t. I barely remember even important things, like my wedding or the births of my children. I have pictures, I know what happened but there are so many things I cannot bring to mind. Sometimes it is quite frustrating. Sometimes it is comforting as there ARE things I would like to forget.
Which side do you fall on? Is your mind like a trap or a colander?
I’m a bit of each. I remember my 2nd grade teacher’s name (she was the greatest, Mrs. Slotnick), but I forgot my folks anniversary, but did remember my brother’s 40th birthday.
I used to remember everything (phone numbers and names) but I’m realizing there is only so much memory space in the ol’ brain and I’d rather use that space for KNITTING!
My mind is defniitely a sieve – my short-term memory is scary bad sometimes. I’ve taken to leaving little notebooks around everywhere so I can write notes to self .
Love the blog, and I think Ford Prefect is a pretty darn creative costume, by the way
DOh. Arthur Dent was our bathrobe-wearing towel-bearer, not Ford. DOH. Hehehehehe
