Today is...

[Lynn Lambert]

July 2nd. What's so special about today? It's National 'I Forgot Day.' No joke. I found this little known fact on www.brownielocks.com. You can print monthly calendars which show special events. So, I'm going to celebrate this day. Instead of saying 'the check is in the mail,' I'll simply say 'I forgot.' If I don't submit that report on time that my boss wants, oh well, 'I forgot.' For wives...if hubby's shirts aren't ironed or socks not matched, smile and tell him 'I forgot.' Let's see -- what else can I forget? That the economy sucks. The banks won't lend money to those who truly need it. Employment is approaching 10 percent. The elephants and donkeys are at it again (what else is new?). The neighbor's pit bulls kept me up all night. Gasoline is up again.

I could forget about dyeing my hair -- it's so expensive now -- and maybe, just maybe, I might want to see what I'd look like with silver-gray hair. I could forget about the 90 degree weather, as long as I'm inside with air-conditioning. I could forget about going through the fast food line (being the only customer) and my order was still wrong! Then there's the termites who decided to set up housekeeping in my wall and made a nutritious dinner out of my bookcase. Then there's all the dust in my house, which I've obviously already forgotten.

The list could go on and on and on, but 'I forgot' what's on the list.

Check out the website...it's a great place to find something to write about. In case you forgot, it's www.brownielocks.com.

Have a happy 'I Forgot Day.'
