Today I set a record for things lost or forgotten in 8 hours.
My hat. I'd only just bought this hat to replace the hat I'd left on the El train 2 weeks ago. And if you guessed I left it on the train, well, you'd be right. Bonus points if you also know that I managed to lose the hat a friend had so kindly loaned me while I was hatless. Which basically means I'll have spent $32 + $32 + whatever it costs to reimburse my friend and I'm still without a hat. In Chicago. In February.
What else did I forget? My workout clothes. I made it to my favorite weight-training class at noon and grabbed a spot only to discover my shorts and shirt weren't in my locker. Did I take them home or leave them in the changing room last week? Honestly, I have no idea.
So I decided to use my lunch hour to look for a dress to wear to a NYC wedding I'm attending next month. I didn't find a dress, but I did leave my necklace in the changing room. (I've since returned to claim it.)
I also forgot my period starts today. Which means I forgot to bring Tampax.
So I can't keep track of my clothes, accessories or monthly cycle, but I did reach into my coat pocket to discover that, in addition to remembering my house keys, I brought a pacifier to work.

Well at least you have that pacifier in case things get really bad.
I'd make you a hat, but I am afraid you'd leave it on the El again. ;)
Have you thought of tying a little string around your finger? You do seem to lose a lot of stuff!

What, no shout out for finding your lost jeans? Which were hanging up, in your closet, with your other jeans?
You and my husband sound very similar! I seem to be the queen of losing the keys, phone, sunglasses, etc. My husband is always losing his wallet and other really random things - which I always find. I am pretty sure he just married me because I can find his stuff, usually in one of the places he has "already looked."
So sorry you were having a forgetful day. Maybe the pacifier was actually for you to calm your nerves! Did you put a little scotch on it before giving it a suckle? Juuuust kidding. Scotch is yucky. Use tequila instead. ;)
