Birthday Reminders

First, I have always had a bad memory, especially of dates.

Some years back I completely forgot my x's birthday and wished her a very happy birthday the next day. I truly believed that her birthday was that day not realizing it was the day before. This small example should show how bad I was with dates.

Now to the main part of the story. Every year, I have to be reminded of my family memebers' birthday and anniverseries etc. My brother calls me to remind dad or mom's b'day or marriage anniveresary. Mom calls me to remind me of brother's b'day and so on. And even then I tend to forget when THE EXACT day comes.

This is every man's nightmare and I am sure this is an age old issue. Maybe I need a new PDA. :) . I would love one anyway. Mom, Dad can you hear me. If I get a PDA I will never ever forget your b'days or anniversaries or anything. I swear!!!

I did call mom on her b'day last week without realising that it was her b'day. After about 10 minutes of conversation mom blurted out, "So you are not calling because its my b'day today?". Aaahaa...it was a revelation to me, I say.

Yeah, that's me.
