I realize I've forgotten my sunglasses since all I have in my left hand is my iPod and my right hand has a firm grip on my keys. Funny, I think, I swear I was holding my sunglasses while I was walking down the hallway towards the exit. Did I drop them somewhere? No, no, I say to myself, I would have remembered dropping them.
I start walking and figure I'll just have to suck it up. One walk without sunglasses won't hurt me. I scroll through a play list on my iPod and stop at Give Me Everything by Pitbull, an upbeat walking song for sure. When it ends I find Gucci Gucci by Kreayshawn. I must memorize every last word of it so when I karaoke it, in my daydreams, I don't flub the lyrics: "Bitch you ain't no Barbie, I see you work at Arby's, number two, super-sized, hurry up, I'm starving." Brilliant. I don't care what anyone says; you have to be really, really smart to think of lyrics like that.
Focused on my dreams of writing a rap song, I reach up with my index finger and push up the bridge of my sunglasses. The rims of my sunglasses come into view through the tinted lenses, tinted lenses that are apparently so clean I had no clue I was wearing them all along.
No clue. None. Not until I pushed them up, out of habit, with my finger.
Oh no you don't... you're not losing it. Because if you're losing it, I'M losing it, and I am not losing it. I do this all. The. TIME. I have gone back into the apartment to get the glasses that are in my HAND. I have searched the room for the phone I AM TALKING ON AT THAT SAME MOMENT. Last Friday, I left the apartment without my purse because I had a beach bag on my shoulder instead.
ReplyDeleteHmm, maybe I am losing it.
Everybody has done that at one time or another!
ReplyDeleteThose are some good ones, Sheri! He he... I've actually done stuff like this before this was just the weirdest time. It was like after I pushed up my glasses I saw the rims and was like WTF?! We all just have way too much on our minds! I like the phone story, though. I think I've heard of someone else doing that too, so don't feel bad :)

ReplyDeleteWhen I can't find my sunglasses, they are usually on my head. A real good look is when I am in the grocery store and have my sunglasses on my head and my "seeing" glasses on my face so I can read labels.
When they go missing next time, I will try looking on my face. New rule of mine :)
