Mirror Memosby Angie

I’m kind of forgetful.  Perhaps those of you who know me well are already aware of this…  Anyway, one thing that I do to help me remember things is to keep a dry-erase marker in one of my bathroom drawers:  When I realize late at night that there is something important to remember the next day, I pull out my marker and write it on my mirror, so I can’t help but notice it in the morning.  Well, a few days ago I got a message from my friend, Karrie, asking me to call her back about something.  Since she has kids, and I didn’t get the message until after 10pm, I decided to wait until the next day.  So, as I was getting ready for bed, I decided to put up a reminder so I would be sure to call her in the morning.  I pulled out my marker and wrote,

KARRIE

on my mirror, then continued to get ready for bed.  A little while later, I realized that, since I was planning to do crock-pot pulled beef sandwiches for dinner the next day, I would need to remember to start the roast before heading out on my errands in the morning.  Out came the pen, and I wrote,

ROAST

above my first reminder.  The next morning was rushed and crazy, but I remembered to start dinner, and I sent an email to Karrie before heading out the door.  At the end of the busy day, I headed upstairs to get ready for bed.  I discovered that my darling husband had gotten ahold of my pen, because my mirror now reminded me:

Don’t

ROAST

KARRIE !!

Aren’t husbands great?  🙂
