The Absent-Minded Couple....

I have come to terms with the fact that Jimmy and I are the absent-minded couple. For example when we park our car in a large parking lot like Home Depot or Target neither of us can remember where we parked. Luckily, if we drive the Subaru we have a keyless remote and we make the car beep until we find it. In parking decks I have actually jotted down the level and row number so we can find our car.

I know I am absent-minded. Like just other morning...Jimmy was wondering where the milk was that we bought the night before. "Great," I thought to myself. "It must be in the back of Subaru." It was. Hot milk that had been sitting in the garage overnight.

Another funny absent minded moment was discovered on Saturday morning. Friday I had gotten back from a work retreat and Jimmy and I had a social event at Capital Brewery for his work. So we got back late. I took my bag out of the back of the Subaru and both of us went to bed. Little did I notice that when I closed the door of the car a blanket got in between the door lock and the door didn't close all the way.

Of course we had LOTS to do on Saturday and needed the Subaru to haul mulch bags, a grill and other garden supplies to the house. Bad part.....the back door of the car won't open because it has a huge piece of cotton puff from the blanket in the door lock and the battery was dying from the door not closing.

We spent about an hour working on the door. We had tweezers, tried to take the door apart, took out the spare tire, the mats.....everything. We finally sprayed a ton of armor-all on the door lock and Jimmy pulled really hard and the door finally opened. YAY!!

well enough rambling.....just wanted to share our absent minded moments. hope you find them funny!! we sure do!!
