Yesterday while running errands I found a Super Why! costume for Bug. I hid it immediately when I got home and will pull it out for him to wear on Halloween or possibly some random rainy day between now and then.
The problem? I hide things all the time in an oh-so-perfect spot only to realize later than I can’t remember what was so perfect about the hiding place except that it’s perfectly hidden—from me! So…this time I think I did something brilliant and actually wrote on my calendar where I hid his Super Why! costume.
Now I just have to make sure I can keep track of my calendar for a few months...

I am always hiding things and can never remember where I put them. I did it earlier this week and decided that I needed to start a master list of what I put and where I put it. Only problem is that I'm sure I would forget where I put the list!
ReplyDeleteI should start writing things down too. I am always hiding gifts/purchases and then I forget about them. Case in point, my friend and her kids came over for a playdate. Her son just celebrated his 5th birthday. I had hid his gift from lil'D and forgot where. I was scrambling and found it just in time for their arrival. Have a wonderful day and take care.

That's brilliant! I do that all the time too...not the brilliant part, just the losing of things.
ReplyDeleteWhen I don't try to put things in a safer place, I'm actually better off. I LOVE your calendar idea though.
Or you could post where you hid it. :)
ReplyDeleteThat was super-smart! I did the same thing when I bought a graduation gift months in advance (and it really helped!) but I didn't make a habit of it. I need to make a habit of it.
ReplyDeleteI bought a bunch of picture frames about a year ago and heck if I can find where I stuck them! argh.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I do THIS always. All the time. I find Christmas presents by Easter, and vice versa. I think the calendar idea is pretty spectacular; I'm going to do the same thing. If I can remember to.
ReplyDeleteI am sort of confused...what is a super why! costume? :)
oooohh I hate it when I can't find what i hid. I've written things down before too, but sometimes I forget where I've written them. Oy!
ReplyDeleteI do this sort of stuff all the time too, even forgetting where I wrote the reminders. I finally started writing down everything in my Gmail, either sending myself emails and "archiving" them or writing drafts. That way I can always access all of my info wherever I am. Home, traveling, and even through my phone in the grocery store.
ReplyDeleteHi! Stopping by from SITS . . . I too love getting those great deals to put away for the future! :) I am always so proud of myself. I think your idea of writing on the calendar is a really good one -- very funny! Hope to visit with you again . . .
