If you find yours maybe you could help me find mine...3 times now, yesterday and today, I have been furious with my sewing machine because I couldn't get the bobbin thread to come up. Finally it dawned the top thread I had in my hand was not threaded through the needle. How do minds just walk off on something you've done thousands of times? grrrrr

My mind has a way of taking a break without my knowledge. DUH!!! I spend so much time wandering around my house trying to remember what I came into a certain room for or going to a room to get something and when I leave the room I don't have it and have to go back again.

At least we all seem to be in the same club!!! LOL

I would be totally lost without the little yellow notepad on my iPhone! I leave notes to myself all the time.

I don't need batting. ugh! wheres my brain???? ;) so another trip tomorrow.....

When you find it, tell it to send mine home since they must be together somewhere. I can just picture 2 little kids hand in hand skipping down the road. Yep, there go our brains.

Believe me, you are not alone. At Christmas time I couldn't find one of the gifts I bought my DH. I found it a couple of days later in the refrigerator. Recently I couldn't find an onion that I had used the night before, eventually found it in the freezer. My teenage son, bless his heart, tells me not to try so hard to finish what I'm trying to say when I'm telling him something, because he knows me so well he can figure it out for me. And so it goes...

I'm glad that I'm not the only one that does that. :shock:

Well we must be twins - I don't know how many times I have gone shopping with a list and either forget the list or completely miss what I was in there for - oh darn, now you have to go back.

I spend a Lot of time in the Hereafter- as in what am I in the kitchen for?

wait a minute--we ALWAYS need batting... and another trip tomorrow? consider it extra aerobic exercise. as long as you walk at a brisk pace, you'll be exercising. in fact, with that kind of reasoning, we could go to a fabric store every day, just for the benefits of exercise. (now if there was just some way for me to convince that family that they didn't need to eat, and that fabric is SO much more important that food or bills...)
