MEMORY?? WHAT'S THAT??

Well okay, I admit it freely and OFTEN. I am menopausal, and do not own memory brain cells anymore. At least I don't think I do....I can't remember. It really isn't fun though, when you get up and walk with a purpose into another room only to get there and have NO CLUE as to what you came there for. Or you can be relating to someone all kinds of memories from your past, say from when you were 3 years old (not kidding) but then when they mention something about a week ago, you haven't a chance in hell of remembering what it was you did then. Sound familiar? If it does, then you must be mentalpausal too!! My sis Pammie sent this to me a couple of years back......at least I think it was that long ago, I can't friggin' remember....... Anyway I thought I'd share it with you. Although it's all so painfully true, it's also funny. Hey, if you can't laugh at yourself, might as well shoot yourself and get it over with, is my opinion.

MY FORGETTER'S GETTING BETTER

My forgetter's getting better
But my rememberer is broke
To you that may seem funny but
To me that is no joke.

For when I'm "here" I'm wondering
If I really should be "there"
And when I try to think it through
I haven't got a prayer.

Oft times I walk into a room
Say "what am I here for?"
I wrack my brain, but all in vain
A zero is my score.

At times I put something away
Where it is safe, but Gee!
The person it is safest from
Is generally ME.

When shopping I may see someone
Say "hi" and have a chat
Then when the person walks away
I ask "who the heck was that?"

Yes, my forgetter's getting better
While my remeberer is broke
And it's driving me plumb crazy
And that isn't any joke.

CAN YOU RELATE? Hmmm... I don't remember who I sent this to....

Yupsiree...... that's ME. And I'm not embarassed by it so much as frustrated. But hey, that's life. I'm just waiting for this menopause to go away some day and I'll return to normal. (no wisecracks please, I know where a lot of you live) I think the one person who teases me about it the most is my sister Pam, but she hangs around me so much that I think it's starting to rub off on her, and she's not even at the age for the Big M yet. She's also the one who coined "mentalpausal" as my state of mind. Gee, I hope that wasn't before I got the Big M....... I can't freakin' remember!!!!!!

Well I spent quite a bit of time tonight re-doing my Photo Album on this blog. The 5 pics I had up before were all done before I had the slightest clue what I was doing, and they all needed editing and cropping. I got tired of seeing the lid of my scanner showing up around every picture so I decided to do something about it, lol. And I now have 15 pictures there, so there's new ones and everything looks much better. (You may notice that some of them are a bit distorted, that is because you have to click on the picture to enlarge it). The last 2 were of holidays, and I've got gazoodles of holiday pictures from many different places so one of these days I'll add some more of those. And keep adding other stuff too, maybe.... IF I REMEMBER!

That's it for me, and Madame G.J. is on now ~~ so y'all have a great Friday tomorrow, and I leave you with a wish for PEACE!

Love Jude

AND NOW.... ANOTHER HORROR SCOPE BY GYPSY JUDLES
"This new moon phase has a few signs feeling down in the dumps, particularly you Capricorns, as you have been noticing a drop in your love lives. This could be the total lack of interest in personal hygeine, which everyone knows you are famous for. Pee-ew. Cancers are seeing the opposite effect however, being fairly popular around the water cooler lately, and also on the backs of public bathroom doors. This is leaving you feeling pretty smug, but get your noses back down to earth again though, as you are all about to hit rock bottom with the next cusp. This is an excellent time for all signs to begin snubbing Cancers. People with birthdays this week all have secret fetishes for whips, chains, and turkey basters."
