Distractions Again

Last night we went to have our normal Monday night dinner at the Italian place near my house. We had a delicious dinner and I purposely didn't finish my meal because I wanted to save room for a cannoli. I figured I could have them wrap up what I didn't finish and I could take it for lunch today. We wound up having a cannoli each and I had coffee (he doesn't like coffee-sigh!) . I love the cannolis because they fill them there, so they are fresh. The waitress loves us & she knows I love coffee so she gave me a refill to go so I could have some for later. We left there full and happy. We drive home, go upstairs, get into our pj's and then I settle down to drink the rest of my coffee and suddenly realize - she never gave me the "to go" bag with my leftovers. There went my theory about lunch. I guess I'm not the only one who gets distracted. She probably totally forgot about it when she gave me the coffee. I totally forgot about it too. It was no big deal because I knew I could get something today at the deli across the street, it was just the fact of knowing half the money we spent on it was literally being thrown in the garbage. Then I felt bad about the starving people in the world. (insert my Mother's Italian guilt trip (God rest her soul) that she would put me on as a young child when I didn't want to finish my dinner)

It was fine though. I just got back from lunch about an hour ago. I had a tuna wrap instead of my angel hair pasta with meat sauce, you know the bag that is currently sitting somewhere in a dumpster. It's OK you know why? I am learning my lesson because I am so easily distracted that this is what happens to me. I'll give you another example that just happened, this morning. I got out a birthday card that I need to send my friend whose birthday is on Monday the 11th. I wanted to include some birthday lottery scratch-off tickets in the card. I put the card on the side because I went to find the tickets. Then...I forgot to find them. I went and did something else. Oh yes, I went to clean out Harley's litter box because today is garbage day. I remembered that, but I forgot the tickets and the card. I am just that easily distracted. Story of my life.

Well, 2 more hours to go until I can go home. Yay! Tonight we are staying in so I hopefully can stay out of trouble and avoid distractions. Enjoy your evening everyone!!!!
