KEEPING ALERT

We're all guilty of doing some (or all) of these things from time to time. How many are you guilty of?

1. Calling someone on the telephone and asking them, "Where are you"? (This does NOT apply to cell phone calls)
2. Walking into a room of your house and not being able to remember why you went into that room in the first place.
3. Having someone come up to you, hug you (or shake your hand) and tell you they're so happy to see you... and you have absolutely no idea who this person is.
4. Laughing so hard that you end up not being able to remember what got you laughing to begin with.
5. Not questioning the words of a flight attendant when she asks people to get ON the plane. (I don't know about you, but I'd prefer to get IN the plane)
6. Standing next to 'your' car in a parking lot, trying to figure out why your car keys do not work anymore, only to realize 10 minutes later that this is in fact, NOT your car.
7. Pushing harder on the buttons of any remote control, because the batteries are either no longer working, or close to not working.
8. Going outside on a nice day, with yard tools in your hand, and then having no idea what you were going to use them for.
9. Walking into a grocery store, and coming out with a cart full of groceries, none of which are the groceries you went in to purchase in the first place.
10. Answering the telephone (any telephone), and having a 5 to 10 minute conversation with a person that you don't even know, by mistake.
11. Going to a family reunion, only to find out that you have no idea who those people are that you're supposedly related to somehow.
12. Getting a telephone call from someone in your family, and they ask you if it's really you on the phone (I've had this happen to my many times. I simply tell them to hold on a moment so I can go tell myself that I have a phone call waiting for me)
13. Excusing yourself from the dinner table to use the restroom, only to get there and realize that you really didn't have to use the restroom in the first place.
14. Getting a piece (or pieces) of mail in your mail box, that is addressed to another person... putting the mail back in the mail box that is clearly marked (or otherwise noted) that this person does not live at your home... only to get that very same piece of mail back in your mail box the following day.
15. Watching your pet get completely spooked out and run into a hiding spot, only to find yourself walking around the house trying to figure out what spooked out your pet in the first place.
