If you read the previous blog, you have recognized me as a person who either doesn't listen well or multi-task well. It is perhaps a bit of both. It may also be that as I age, I'm slowly losing my mind. If you think that mistaking Fandango, the website for an actual movie is funny about a year ago, I pulled an all-time classic (yeah, as bad as the Infamous Naughty Email).
I was just really getting ensconced with the PTO moms and decided to attend a Southern Living party with this new, fun crowd of potential gal pals. I was in a rush and running a bit late and flew in at the last minute just before the sales pitch. Whew! After a few cocktails and lots of chatter and some shopping, it was time to find my keys and go. I was one of the last to leave. I'm not a purse kind of gal and usually just carry my keys or wear them on my wrist on my "key bracelet". I bought said bracelet to attach to my keys to alleviate my tendency to misplace them. I checked my wrist, no keys. I looked at the table where I'd set my last cocktail- no luck there either. I eyed the buffet table and the counter where I'd laid my checkbook. I checked in the bathroom. By this time, the hostess and party-giver had commenced helping me with my search until the dreaded moment when I realized I had probably left them locked in my car...again. Upon walking outside, I heard the annoying music of High School Musical loudly playing from a nearby car. The music was not moving as the car passed. The music was stationary and blaring from MY car. Yeah, uh huh...not only had I left my keys in the car but I had left the car RUNNING with my kids favorite CD BLARING. Gravity has taken my body and age is taking my mind...

Ah! Welcome to my world! Two weeks ago I went outside to move my sons car.Which I did.But got side-tracked by the neighbor. 2hrs later I went back out for something and found my sons car still running! You are the only one I have told this to as I thought "I" was losing it! Now I feel better! Linda
Glad to be of service darling.I can't tell you how many of these stories I have "tucked awy"...and my blunder had witnesses- women I was trying to befriend and impress no less. The good news is that they have a good sense of humor and to this day, the story still delights them. It's become, as I said, a "classic".
