I had a great title, but can't recall...

I've always had a bad memory. The amount of toys i've lost as a child is enough of make a kid very happy at christmas time.

To think things have changed since then... how wrong I was... or maybe I just forgot how I forget everything and anything.

Things have gotten worse since I left my pull-along donkey by the side of the road. Just last weekend, I lost my wallet, only to realize it was in my coat all along... after the credit and debit cards were cancelled. I spent 15 minutes on hold today trying to pay a bill to the credit card that no longer exists. Well seems like i've gotten myself in quite a pickel and have to go see them in person.

This poem came to mind when I was waiting on the phone. I'd read it on another blog, so it deserves double quotes "".
In the spirit of all things delayed: (and that includes my memory)~
