How does this happen? How am I sitting here lost in words on someones blog that I've never met? Oh, right, I was checking my 12 random email accounts, clicked on a link, then clicked on another one and ended up at the Real Simple website which, of course, lead me to this blog that I'm reading.
Distraction like this and certain mindless times of the day could also explain why I forgot to put my new passport pictures into the envelope with all the other new passport information. (note to self: call them.) Or why it slipped my mind that I needed to spray some Greased Lightening on my jeans and yellow shirt BEFORE I washed them because they were splashed with olive oil (not by me, but by those frisky shrimp I cooked last night, mind you). Maybe my mindlessness is why I find cups all over the house. (why is there a cup in the bathroom closet?).
Either way, it seems that right after lunch until about 2:30, I'm useless! I should have walked the dog or cleaned the floors, but nooooooo I sat down to check email and work on organizing this mess of a desk. Days like today make me laugh, a little, and consider how lucky I am to even be mindful enough to eventually remember what my original goal was and to (hopefully) do it.
Whew, all of this is just a few hours. It's all apart of the job, I guess :) Now that I've let the world in on my distraction, I really do need to get a few things done this afternoon.
(PS- I read the CUTEST book this morning at the library... "Sheep Trick or Treat" by Nancy Shaw. So precious.... I did accomplish that this morning!)
