Guest Post: The Forgetful Andrea

[Soo...Birthright's over, the wedding's over, and here I am! Well, not really. I'm still in Israel. Be back on the 31st at the lovely hour of 6:15...in the morning. Thank you to all my guest posters; you are all truly amazing and I can't thank you enough for helping me and my little blog out. Now I'm going to let Andrea wrap things up!]

Ali so generously opened up her blog to Guest Posts while she is on her amazing trip to Israel and gave us the very vague instructions that the subject of one's guest post should be: Anything You Want. Which is sort of fun, and sort of daunting. I only just met Ali a couple weekends ago and just started reading her blog the following day. I could only imagine what her readers would be interested in reading. So I thought about it and I thought about it... What should I write... What should I write? ... And then I forgot.

Which is really quite strange because I usually remember everything! I have the memory of an elephant. (Where does that saying some from? "Memory of an elephant?" Who really knows how long or detailed an elephant's memory is? Did someone interview the elephant?) I remember a lot of stuff and I remember a lot of details. Usually I remember things like what people were wearing and where we were, which helps me remember why we were there and what we talked about. It's freakish. I literally occasionally lie about remembering details because I don't want to weird people out.

So, yes, I have a good memory. Except when it comes to writing guest blogs. ...And when it comes to remembering passwords.

The one password that I have the most trouble with is my password for the Time Warner cable website. Time Warner is my cable/DVR/internet provider, so I should be logging into this website at least monthly to pay my OVERPRICED BILL - but I digress. I've had this account with Timer Warner for about 6 months now and I'm pretty sure I've had my password re-set 5 times. Well, actually, it was probably more like 4 times. Because last month I forgot my password, couldn't log in, and then forgot to pay altogether. (Imagine my chagrin making up for that this month.)

I finally wised up today and set up recurring payments. I think I neglected to do that in the first place because I didn't want to never log in to the webiste and then forget my password. Life is funny sometimes.

Hugs!
Andrea

I hate remembering passwords. Especially when they make you choose numbers AND letters AND capitals letters. My brain can only take so much.
