I need something at the store and I can't remember WHAT!!

[golfgal]

I hate it when that happens. I was cutting the grass this morning and I remember something I was going to pick up at the store yesterday but didn't make it to the store and now I can't remember what it is / Dang old age setting in .

Umm, can we talk about how many times I open the fridge or pantry and have no idea why?... I hit 45 this year and between losing 75% of my small motor coordination and most of my memory its a wonder I can tie my shoes and remember the way to work!

Yup, same mile marker for me.

I know the feeling of forgetting what I wanted to get at the store. BUT, I don't know wheter it is age or all of the brain cells I killed in college!!!

I am glad you remembered. When it happens to me, I try to let it go and then it will come back to me when I am not trying so hard.

Glad you remembered! I was gonna say you had to go back out and mow the lawn again to see if it comes to you.

If I recite the ABCs it usually comes to me what it was I forgot. It's weird but it works! LOL LOL

Not so weird. I do it too. Especially when I'm trying to think of a name.

I was mentally mowing the lawn before I remembered. It is too dang hot to do that again .

I will have to try this next time, if I remember .

I was just in the store and told my dd, don't let me forget eggs. We just came home and she said to me.. Mom we forgot eggs!!
So it is really her fault, not mine!!

Here's a good one. Happened today.

Had a friend over for coffee to celebrate her birthday and forgot to give her her birthday gift!! I swear if my head wasn't sewn on.........

I do that as well but my biggest problem seems to be my lack of attention. As in I start to wash the dishes and notice that the plant by the sink needs water which makes me think that my herbs outside will probably need water as it is so hot today. I head out to water the plants and go past my kitchen table and notice that the paper needs to be put into the recycling box. Gather them up and start to go to the box's and look down and notice that the floor really needs to be swept. I put the papers on the counter and start top sweep. So in all that time I have started a lot and accomplished NOTHING. My husband comes home and I say well, I made your supper for you. The rest is started but not finished. When I was younger that wasn't a problem.

TAG FAIRY - If mentally mowing the lawn isn't worthy of a tag...I'm not sure what is

I send text messages to myself all the time. That is how I remember what I need to get.

Good idea. I have been known to email myself but I haven't sent myself a text message.

Seems to me that I have more trouble remembering when it's just one or two items..

Dson-in-law just called to get my grocery list for this week and I rattled it right off the top of my head.. (A good 20 items and no list in front of me..)

Yet if I were running out to the General Store here for a half gallon of milk and a box of Entenmanns cinnamon buns, for the entire drive there I would have to keep repeating in my head: "Milk and cinnamon buns.. Milk and cinnamon buns.." Weird..

I write myself notes on index cards. Then I re-use the index cards. I leave them on the kitchen table so I won't forget the activity I've planned for the next day.
