I'm not sure why, but I've been cataloging random things about myself. Curious?
I have a weird fixation with birth-dates that have some sort of mathematical pattern to them.
Miss Rose: 1.26.04 This is okay in my book. 6 subtract 2 = 4
Gracie: 4.5.07 Better. Sequential, although 6 is missing
Lily: 1.28.09 Best!! 1,2...8,9 (although I still wish she had come on her c/section date of 2.09.2009)
I can remember (although it's starting to get fuzzy) the weights of my kids at various points during their first year of life. Like at 6 months, Miss Rose weighed about 17lbs, Gracie was just 14lbs and Lily was 15.5lbs. My sister-in-law always laughs at me when I reference these sorts of things. There are MANY things I can't remember, and would gladly trade the weights for practical, everyday things. But I can't control my brain.
I still remember who gave me various wedding and baby gifts and many of the baby clothes the girls have received.
Paper towel holder...Marsha (as my Christmas gift, 2 months after our wedding)
Rice bowls...Joy, my roomate
All-Clad & Kitchen Aid...our AMAZING wedding party :)
Pink blanket for Miss Rose...Beloved Mama
Janie & Jack, Gymboree newborn dresses...my sister
Blankee that Gracie attached herself too....Janet, former co-worker
I assign speed dial numbers according to birthdays (which I remember well too). My youngest sister is speed dial 28, because her birthday is 11/28. (except the iphone doesn't do speed dial like that, so I guess I don't use that method any longer--but I thought it was pretty creative). And I remember TONS of birthdays of friends in my life. Some I am still in touch with and some who I haven't wished a Happy Birthday to in years.
Most of this--random and useless. But sometimes I just facsinate myself and wonder how does my brain function in the ways that it does!
What's random about you?

I also remember gifts given to me (and the kids) by a variety of people. People are often amazed when I dress my kids and always know who gave us what, even if it's a hand-me-down or from a far-removed source (husbands co-worker I don't know).
ReplyDeleteI remember wedding gifts too! (and think of those people when i use the items...which can be odd when the gift is a bath towel) :D
ReplyDeleteI remember lots of OLD phone numbers but can't for the life of me remember new ones.
I remember my parents license numbers (don't ask me why I know that one!), but don't know my husbands. I know all of our old license plate numbers, but none of our new ones. :D
I think it's pregnancy....it drained my brain cells :D
Pink Blanky, from me???!!! So glad you remembered tee hee hee :)
