Old age = Ditzy moments

So I've come to the conclusion that the older I get the more scatterbrained/ditzy/retarded I get. At the rate I'm going I'm going to be a drooling vegetable by the time I'm thirty! It used to be that Rachael had all the blonde moments, but i tell you what I think I need to be changing my hair color. Some examples: Last week gas prices went up to 2.50. I'm driving by the gas station and I'm thinking, man that sucks! It'll be three bucks by tomorrow! Because in my mind, the three dollar mark was coming right after 2.59. Hello Amber! This is not time, it's money. Then a couple days later I go to Hollywood Video to rent TrueBlood. It's a series on HBO; it's supposed to be really good. So I walk over to get the DVD. I pick it up, it says complete first season and I think great! So I take it home and plop it in the DVD player. And guess what? It was only for the last two episodes. That would have been great if I had watched the first 10 episodes already! Jeez... But in my defense the sticker with the barcode for Hollywood Video was covering up the part that said Disc 5 Epsiodes 11 &12. So now I have to take it back and see if they will let me trade it for the first disc without charging me. But I'm gonna guess it'll be a no go. We'll see. And yet another example. Yesterday I'm leaving church and I have to go to the grocery store on my way home. I was craving chicken and we didn't have any. So I'm driving down the street. There are multiple stop signs, and I stop for all of them. Then I get down to the main road. I stop, look both ways, no cars so I go. About halfway through the intersection the light turns green. And the only reason I noticed that I had just run a red light, is because it caught my attention when the light changed. It didn't even occur to me that I was sitting at a light. Or that I had to wait for it to turn green. I fully expect to receive a ticket in the mail sometime this week. Just my luck....
