I Suck At Remembering Things

It should come as no surprise to my friends that I have selective memory. I guess you could say I suck at remembering things. And I guess it's probably a good thing that I have this blog so that I can look back at previous posts to jog my memory.

On Thursday, Karen and I hung out with my friends (Marc, Kelley, and Andrea) for our weekly get together. Andrea was kind enough to do hosting duties for the week, so all of us met there. Karen and I were actually game time decisions because neither of us have been getting that much sleep lately due to our newborn's (Bridget) habit of waking up every few hours during the night. Luckily for us, Bridget and our two year old (Briana) were cooperating with us on Thursday, so we were able to get together.

Anyway, on the agenda for the night was the latest episode of Community. I simply find that show hysterical. After all, what show can give us things like the "All Tomato"? Needless to say, the episode was quite enjoyable.

While at Andrea's, I had a conversation with my old drinking buddy, Kelley. We were discussing how tired I have been, to which I commented that Bridget has been more of a sleep-depriver than Briana at that age. Briana is an angel... or so I thought. It wasn't until Kelley mentioned that I seemed pretty exhausted with Briana back in the day that I started to think that perhaps I do have selective memory. (Hence, the I suck at remembering things... thing.)

Regardless, the conversation intrigued me because it got me thinking about the past and my recollection of it. Interestingly enough, Kelley is also known to have memory lapses. She used to forget things that happened minutes prior. There were times when we were watching "Lost" that she would have these "wouldn't it be cool if..." something happened moments... only to have already watched that something happening minutes prior to asking like she did not remember watching it minutes prior.

One of the other topics of conversation for the night that I remember was about Andrea's new car. For anyone curious, Andrea got a new car; a Nissan Rogue to be exact. It's a very nice car. She recounted her sweet deal in getting the car. And a sweet deal it was.

All in all, it was great night to hang out with friends and have a few laughs.
