My sister remembers the name of every dentist or doctor she's ever seen. I can't seem to remember when I booked my daughter's well check, though.

Why can't I remember birthdays? What is it with birthdays? I've been beating myself up for being rude to my 11th grade prom date for years and years. Sometimes, I'll be walking down the street and suddenly remember some silly thing that I said or did and, since I'm fair skinned and blush at the drop of a hat, turn bright red. Then I start to beat myself up over beating myself up. It's silly, but it's hard to cut off... Me, too. Why can’t I remember birthdays? What is it with birthdays?

I still remember stuff from elementary school that I would rather forget. With detail. On the other hand, comes in handy when you are following 350 people on twitter :-) With you there my friend.
