What’s “it,” you ask? My mind. The other day, I poured myself a cup of coffee. I went to the fridge to get the milk, but it wasn’t there. I asked Miriam if it was on the table, although I didn’t think I brought it out of the kitchen after using it in my first coffee (I didn’t). I looked in the fridge again, then Miriam looked in there (for good measure), then I started looking in the cabinets. I couldn’t find it anywhere. Finally, I turned around and screamed: I put it ON TOP of the fridge! What the what?! I must’ve done it without thinking when I put the granola back up there. But holy crap, what the hell is going on? Last month, on the way to the Bruce Springsteen concert, I realized we had to turn around and go back to my apartment. Why? Because I forgot my ticket! Seriously, this isn’t like me. I thought I had another incident from last week to tell you about, but I’ve forgotten it already.
In other news, I went to the dentist today. I don’t have any cavities. At least I remember to floss.

That’s what happens when you turn 30. You have now entered an era where brain cells are dying out faster than you can replenish them. The good news is most people really enjoy their 30′s – they become more confident and self-assured, you just don’t remember why.

It is said we forget things because we just have so much information in our heads. Sara, you are the Shor queen of trivia and therefore have even more stuff in that head of yours.
Relax and don’t worry about it – it happens to all of us.

Lil….how do you know? You are only 27! And it seems I gained all the memory cells in the womb. Although I cannot remember what else I wanted to write here.

Lil: Miriam already beat me to my respnse, which was going to be this: “What do you know about being in your 30s? You’re only 27!” You’re wise beyond your years.
Mama: It’s true. All the useless crap in my brain shoved out all the important stuff, like where the milk goes.
Miriam: We all know you remember everything. I have a terrible memory, but usually it’s stuff from 20 (gasp!) years ago, not five minutes ago. Yikes. Perhaps all the booze is finally catching up with me.
