I had a date day with The Surfer the other day and we thought we’d see a movie.
We sussed out which one we’d see, knew which time and which cinema it was on at so off we went.
However, when we got to the cinema neither of us could remember the name of the movie but as we knew the time we picked a movie showing at that time.
We sat through the ads for other movies and saw an ad to the movie we thought we were going to be seeing – Now You See It. That’s when we realised we’d stuffed up.
We ended up watching The Way, Way Back instead. I like Toni Collette so it was an immediate winner for me.
It could have been a lot worse, but luckily it worked out.
It’s this lack of attention to detail that sees me park my car in a multi-storey carpark and not remember which level I parked on.
However, my attention to detail springs to attention when I am getting dressed in the morning.
I usually start thinking about what I will wear to work the night before so I have a clear picture in my head of what needs preparing. I’m an iron as you go girl which I find much less fussy than having an ironing basket staring at me letting me know that I’m slack. Everything gets put away ironed or not. And in winter I don’t tend to iron as much.
When I get dressed I’m pretty neatly turned out with accessories to match or complement. And I often get compliments on what I’m wearing. One woman I used to work with recently even made an effort to tell me that she liked my style.
So who cares if I see the wrong movie because I didn’t pay enough attention, at least I looked good while doing it.
By the way, in the photo above, this wasn’t how we dressed to see the movie.
My wife forgets where she parks her car almost every day and rides the elevator down to each floor of the parking garage, getting out, pushing her car alarm and getting back into the elevator to go down to the next level if she doesn’t hear the beeping. I don’t know what’s in the water that is making people so forgetful nowadays but just know, you’re not alone.
Thank goodness for car alarms then ey? I think remembering where we parked the car is at the bottom of our lists, or maybe it’s a female thing?
I avoid multi-story car parking because I so often can’t remember where I parked!
