This is I think the most common phrase I utter. And you wanna know what's really sad?? It's completely true. I have zero memory. Ever. I forget EVERYTHING.
"Hey did you bring *insert any given item here* like I asked you??" as spoken by friends, family, coworkers, etc.
'Oh dang it!! I forgot!'
"Did you go through your finances like I wanted you to?" usually said by Mom
'Aaagh, sorry. I totally spaced it."
"Were you able to do that for me?"
'Oh, no, sorry. I totally ran out of time/forgot.'
And the list goes on and on....
Though I stalk her blog and am so excited for her new baby, still consistently forget to call Brooke to say congrats.
I also forget to call back almost everyone that calls me in a timely fashion. This includes some of my voice students. Not good policy.
I always forget to write missionaries. This is one of the ones that frustrates me the most. Almost all of my guy friends that went on missions I didn't write at all, maybe one letter. I think I wrote one of my best guy friends 8 or 9 times and I thought I was awesome.
One of my best friends, Liz, just got home from her mission....I wrote her maybe 6 or 7 times....half of those being in the last month and a half she was out....better late than never, right??? The other sad thing is she got home from her mission almost 2 weeks ago and I didn't know....why?? Because I always forgot to read the letters her mom would forward me because I would forget to check my yahoo account I rarely get into. I've been wanting to call her since she's been back. Honestly I've been burning both ends of the candle...but I also keep forgetting to find out her number....I'm an awful friend.
My little brother has been out on his mission since July....and I have written him ONCE. Make that twice...but I never sent the second one because it wouldn't make it to him before he left the MTC.....I stink.
Do you see how this is a problem??? I'm ruining relationships and probably people's lives!!! No wonder I've never been given a calling that would have me be responsible for people throughout the week or why my family gets weary asking me to do anything. Maybe that's why I'm perpetually single too:)
Other things I've forgotten, recently or not:
Send jewelry back with Chad after Laura's wedding for Jocey and Lucy.
Bring black fabric for Melanie.
Bring a dress to wear to church when I was home (thank you April for the use of your closet)
Nail polish remover for Laura's girl party.
Mail package for Sarah (that was actually a combo of not having time and forgetting going back and forth)
In general I forget directions to places. Ask my friend Amanda. I think I called her every single time I was going to her house except once.
I forgot to 1) Call Dale on his birthday. I actually called but just because I wanted to say hi...so mostly I forgot it was his birthday. 2)Forgot to mail him his birthday card 3) forgot to bring the birthday card with me when I went to Utah 4) Still haven't mailed the card...why??? Because I keep forgetting. He, however, remembered that I forgot to get stephen's hot cocoa when I was in Utah and mailed it to me....because he is a good friend...and I stink.
There are a million other things I have recently and not so recently forgotten...but I can't remember them right now.

and many many more, just to name a few. Don't be offended if you're not on this list...it could just go forever.
There are hundreds of cards I probably should have mailed, hundreds of texts I should have sent and hundreds of notes I should have written....but I keep forgetting.
So don't take it personally anyone if I don't call you, write you, fulfill responsibilities towards you etc.
I truly and honestly never mean to not do something....
I just.....
forget......
