Trust me. I don't know anyone else who would forget an entire pizza, and the whole reason I went to the store in the first place. My problem is I'm near-sighted, so the contacts don't help me when reading up close. I actually need reading glasses overtop my contacts. And, yes, I don't wear them on the weekends to give them a break. Contact Lenses Aussiegal — Glad you liked the post! Trust me.

I feel like I could've written this article from my own experiences (except for forgetting a pizza= that's a new one for me). As for the contact lenses I'm surprised that they don't help with your reading. What type of lenses are you using? Or do you just not wear them on the weekends because you want to give your eyes a break and rock out the old spectacle look? Keep up the funny posts this one was great! Oh Kathy you make me laugh!

I'm seeing a very lonely cart in the lot and you driving your screaming baby home. It's very funny in my head. Love how you managed to keep that one to yourself for so long. Oh, and your "Dawn until Dancing" post is still with me today. The magic dust... Thinking of it gives me chills. What a GREAT story! Merry Christmas to you! Mike — I love how you paint me a picture.

There is no excuse for some of the bone-headed things I have done over the years. When my daughter was an infant, I took her out shopping for the very first time...alone. After purchasing about $100 worth of diapers, baby wipes, formula, Balmex, and the like, I wheeled my baby girl in the shopping cart with our shopping bags to our car. When she started to cry, I got nervous, strapped her into her car seat and sped home to change her diaper. At home, I changed her and promptly realized that I left the entire shopping cart full of stuff in the parking lot at K-Mart. I raced back there with my daughter and found everything untouched. My wife did not find out what I did until I joked about it years later...last year in fact. She still wanted to kill me for being so careless. BTW, our daughter is in Jr. High School. Have a very Merry Christmas! -Mike. <em>Mr. Grudge's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MrGrudge/~3/201969395/from-dawn-until-dancing.html' rel="nofollow">From Dawn until Dancing</a></em> Hi Kathy,

I had to read that twice. You know how slow I am. Funny, I've never heard that expression before. I'd say I'll remember it for the future, but you know that won't be happening. You know, the whole forgetful thing. I may do this meme. It feels fun and I need that about now. Merry Christmas to you! Hey, Canucklehead! I had to read that twice. You know how slow I am.

On an unrelated note, I don't know if you are down with the whole meme thing - but I've tagged you with one on my site - participation is completely optional.
