Thinking

I just finished cleaning most of the house (since my parents get here tomorrow) and a friend sent me an email that now has me deep in thought. This kind of thinking is the distracting kind where it is difficult to think of anything else...

Oops.

Tonight I had a dinner meeting at Maggiano's in SouthPark at 6:30. Daniel had work to do so we agreed to just see each other when we both got home.

Well, my cell phone fell out my purse in the car and I didn't realize it and my dinner meeting ended up lasting until 10 p.m.

Let's just say that Daniel was less than thrilled that I was out so late without calling to let him know that the meeting was lasting longer than expected OR the fact that he was unable to reach me on my phone. Oops.

scatter brained or just an idiot?

In the last 10 days, I have completely forgotten about 3 different, important events. I am not sure if my scatter-brainedness is just getting worse or if I am just a complete idiot.

A week ago Saturday, I was supposed to attend an event, Uptown, called All Fired Up. I had 2 free passes to go because I had created the invitations for the event. It was a pottery demonstration/live music/free meal/fun event that I completely forgot about and we ended up missing. Besides that fact that it would have been fun and it was free (tickets were $50/each), I missed an opportunity to network...

Then this past week, Daniel called me up on Thursday wanting to know if he could plan something for the weekend. Without really thinking, I said SURE. We were almost to Hilton Head when it dawned on me that we were supposed to attend a party on Saturday afternoon hosted by my mentor from church!!! So I called her and apologized for having to skip.

Third times a charm... we got home on Sunday and all of a sudden it occurred to me that I am on a committee at church that was meeting Sunday morning during second service. Not only is it bad that I missed without informing anyone, it is worse b/c I am a co-leader on said committee. I called and apologized and am meeting the 2 guys on my team tonight for dinner to discuss what we should have discussed Sunday!

Maybe I need to invest in a crackberry...
