Rain..Rain..Go somewhere else...

Ever have one of "those" moments? Where, you have been to the grocery earlier in the week, you picked up the required items, came home put them away and went on about your business? Only to find yourself, standing in front of the fridge, wondering what happened to the specific thing you needed at that moment? I thought...I know it is here, I bought it, I remember, it must be here somewhere. But as empty as my fridge tends to be, overlooking something isn't really an issue. I stood back from the box...delve into the recesses of my brain to find the memory of me standing in front of the creamer at the grocery, telling myself I didn't need to get it now cause I won't be needing it for a week or so. Hmmph. Now, the day I need it is here and I tricked myself into thinking I had already bought it when I actually talked myself out of it before. I have enough creamer left for about 2 cups of coffee.

I am thankful.

I lost the remote last night. Within the depths of my bed. I had it in my hand about 30 secs before the pills were taking effect. I stood up...looked for it, dug through my down mass of warmth and squishy-ness (I am referring to my blankets...thank you) but it was nowhere to be found. How can that be? How can something slip your fingers in the blink of an eye and be lost for who knows how long? I was standing, looking frantically for this dang thing and realized...ummm ok I am out of bed looking for a remote when I can just as easily walk over and hit the power button.

Remote controls are evil. They induce laziness and a general lack of common sense. I sat there this morning trying to figure how to get my new dvd/vcr thing in my room to work with the playstation. Right. I gave up and just plugged the dang thing directly thru my tv. There Rach...play your game babe. I did manage to find the "other" remote control for this new gadget.

The tv remote is still lost.

The cat took it...I am sure of it.
