Absent Minded. Always.

Are you ever forgetful? Please tell me you are. Tell me I'm not alone in my ability to forget so many things.

I have been meaning to buy jars for a while now. Jars. Nothing fancy. Nothing expensive. Nothing hard to find. Just jars. Mason jars, like for jellies right? I keep thinking how nice it would be to use them for storing soups and salad dressings.

I think these things, then I go to target and buy this gadget. I got so excited. A dressing mixer-upper and pourer thingy! yay! I got it home, made some salad dressing, mixed it up, ate a salad. Loved it. Then I made dinner and went to mix the dressing up again and thought 'gosh it would be great to just shake the living you-know-what out of this little jar thing' and it clicked. I didn't need this goofy gadget. I needed jars! I could shake a jar. It has a lid that won't come off, this thing has no way to really close it up, so you can't really shake the whos-its out of it, because you'll splatter delicious dressing all over the place.

Why do I do this? I knew I wanted jars. I knew I wanted them for salad dressing. I just forgot what I wanted, but knew what I wanted to do with it. Dressings. Maybe I have a 'one track mind'? Is that what that means? I'm so focused, dressingsdressingsdressings, that I forget everything else? That seems very silly to me.

I guess I'm stuck with this gadget, since I've used it a bunch and it's kind of fun to twirl around the stirring device. It just really frustrates me to know I could have saved money and gotten way more than one thing if I had bought some jars. I really need to write every single thing down.




I would say 'live and learn' but I'll probably just forget that.

If this gadget floats your boat,  you can check it out here.

And this dressing I made right there, it's out of this world and coming soon.
