My PalmPilot is my lifeline. I need it for addresses, phone numbers, my calendar, etc. I keep notes there, I send myself reminders, I use it all the time. But what happens when you never plug one in and it loses power? Right, you plug it in and charge it up! Well, what happens when you can't find the plug/charger? That's me. Where did I put that darn plug? I usually plug it in the outlet by my bread maker, which is only used for decorations. Not there this time. I remembered that one day I took the plug to school so I could charge it during the day. No problem, it must be at school, right? Wrong. I looked all over there and no plug. Back home, still looking. Can't find it anywhere. So I got on line and ordered a new one. Time to go to bed.
Then I remembered that I had signed up to take a dessert to the math class today (Saturday). It was now Friday night at 9:45. Luckily I had purchased the ingredients to bake the dessert. All I needed to do was put it all together. So I opened the cupboard to get the recipe. And there in the cupboard, was the plug for my palmpilot! Don't you all put your plugs in the cupboards? I can even now remember thinking when I put it there that I would not remember it was there. But it is a good place for it, right above where I could use it. So I plugged it in, made sure it was charging, and made the dessert. Happy day, all is well.
I got up Saturday morning, got ready for class, got everything ready to go: dessert, assignment, books, purse with phone inside, put the palmpilot in purse.......wait...no palmpilot......I had it plugged in, remember? I went to the kitchen on the cupboard.....there is the charger but NO PALM! Where did it go between 10:00 pm and 7:30 am! Nobody knows! How could it disappear? I know it was plugged in because I checked to be sure it was charging. There was the little volt of power over the battery, yup, it is charging. I knew it would take a while because it was completely run out. I left it plugged in to charge all night, so where did it go? Maybe I need to order a new one to go with that new charger I will be getting! Please, someone help me! It is now 4:12 and I give up looking. Either it grew legs and walked or ran away, or someone came into my kitchen during the night and took it, or I am crazy. Which do you think is more likely?
Edit: Now I know I am crazy. I gave up looking for the palmpilot. When Garth came home I asked him if he had seen it. He walked into the den at the power outlet by the filing cabinet and there it was. He reminded me that he had suggested I plug it in back there where we usually did. Why didn't I see it before. But, if it was in the den, what was on the cupboard? If I had only settled down, I would have noticed that the plug in the kitchen was for the cell phone. It has a completely different end! I was just so sure I had plugged it in there............I really am worried about myself. In the end, I have a charged cell phone, as well as a charged PalmPilot. I am crazy but I am happy.

Sometimes we get combobulated because we dont SLOW DOWN. take your time crazy women...
Lori you are showing your age!!! I used to think that women used this as their excuse for life and all the crazy things we do. But now I'm falling into this catagory and I love using this excuse. Life can be and is so frustrating. Just know that several in our generation are doing the same stupid things and scarring ourselves into thinking that something very serious is wrong when instead it just our old brains just don't work the way they used to!!!!
lol, mom you are so funny! I keep telling you that you are going crazy! We need to tie that thing to your wrist because it really is your lifeline..
