Your Best Brainless Moments

[NALA CAYENNE]

The grocery store isn't far. Sometimes I walk; sometimes I drive. Once I drove and forgot that I drove and walked home. Took a nap, woke up, and thought my car was stolen. Almost was ready to call the police when I saw my keys and remembered what I had done.

Now this is a classic brainless moment WD. I love it

LOL

Are you the one doing all the turn arounds?

If I pull into a parking lot one of the kids will say 'are we turning around, mom?'

I turn around so much that the kids KNOW what it looks like.

Actually, gracie, I'm the one in a panic because it's the one time I'm lost that I can find NO ONE to help me get unlost

I've done this in NY visiting my aunt and I usually wind up at the stop that, while indoors and dry, its the one that is either the most deserted, or the one that has the most evil lurkers.

Needless to say after MANY years of doing this, I am no longer allowed to be unsupervised in NY...between that and the fact that I don't pay attention to my surroundings

This is my problem, I think about other things. I have really worked at this, though, I was ten times worse when I was younger. I really try to to remind myself to look around and read streetsigns and notice things.

And since I don't trust myself at all I always ask.

I do things like that ALL THE TIME. I'm the only person I know who can get turned around just blocks from my own house.

Once, when I was preggers with B, I had to take the bus to my doctors appointment. I don't know how, but I ended up in SW portland (at least 45 minutes from the doctors office). I called K to find out where I was, and he was like 'HOW THE HELL DID YOU END UP THERE?'. *shrugs*

K gets REALLY nervous if I'm in an area I don't know. LOL I could get lost in a bucket.

Since I don't drive I've had plenty of practice with buses and trains. Still do these things a couple of times a year.

We must be neighbors, graceanne, because I can get lost in a paper bag

And me in a fish tank. "Never been here before"

I don't also always think about other things, I also get so in awe of the buildings, the hustle and bustle, the street vendors...

Well even driving, with a navigational unit, I am directionally challenged

And me in a fish tank. "Never been here before"

OH! So that's you, rinka! I thought you looked familiar

LOL Whenever I get one a bus I ask if the bus is going where I want it to go. I've been known (lots of times) to get on the right bus going the wrong way.

I can just see the following conversation:

"Is this bus going [downtown]?"
"Sure, lady - in about two and a half hours at the other end of the trip. Or you could walk across the street and catch the bus going the other way in about five minutes, and be there in fifteen."

Yeah, that's usually how the conversation goes. lol
