Dates I remember....

I read a post the other day (sorry, I can't remember whose it was. I was doing one of those linky things...) by a person who remembered people's phone numbers from her past. seven (or ten) digits long, with no patterns to help you remember.... I've never been good at that.

What I do is remember birthdays; Birthdays of people that I haven't seen in 35 years... Birthdays of my brother's old girlfriends, family birthdays, old friends...

May 12
A week or so after May 12th (Okay, so I don't remember ALL birthdays! :) )
June 3
June 9
June 10
June 13...

On these particular days, throughout the course of the day, (when I finally find out what day it actually is) my first thought is "Hey that's so and so's birthday!" and I wish them a silent across the miles, wonderful day.

Which brings me today, June 13th, an old high school boyfriend's birthday. Happy birthday, Mark! (and yes, admittedly, I do remember his family's phone number too.)

There is only room for so much information in this little brain of mine. I know this is true, despite what the scientists say, because recently I have sensed many of my thoughts leaking away, getting lost in the chasm between the said "new thought" and the tongue which is supposed to utter it.
Hence, this page. I think if I can capture enough of "the thought" on the notepad on my cellphone, (For everyone knows that your most incredible thoughts never come when you are sitting at the computer ready to write) I can then transfer the wisdom (Yes, wisdom! or at least thoughts that would make me a lot of money!) to this page.

Are you ready for the adventure to begin? Okay, just one more thought.


ummmmm never mind. It's gone.
