Has anyone found my mind, it seems to be missing ...

I am spending the holidays in the US this year so had to get myself organised, with a much appreciated push from my roomie I am all set, presents are all bought and wrapped, tree is up and decorated, cards written and posted.  I admit it, I was starting to feel a little smug when friends and colleagues would mention that they needed to start their shopping and asked how I was doing and I could say I was all done.  The look on the faces of people who know me well is priceless :)

Anyway, a couple of days ago I was driving home from work and somehow missed a call from my brother, then a short while later, my sister called.  As I answered she was already laughing and asked if I had heard from my brother lately.  I explained the missed call and she said, "well he called me earlier and asked if you were losing your mind so obviously I asked why. He then went on to say that he had just received a christmas card from you and thet you had addressed it to him and Sue".  Sue is my brother's ex-wife, they have been divorced for almost 20 years and he has been with his partner Vicky for about 12 years.

Seriously, I can't beleive I did that.  I havent called my brother back yet but I have posted him a new card, and checked it twice to make sure it is addressed correctly.

A little later on the same day I was in the bathroom looking in the mirror at the shirt i was wearing thinking something didn't look quite right, the buttons looked a little strange.  And then I realised, it was inside out!!!  It was 11pm at this point, I had been to work, for the entire day, been home all evening and not one single person had mentioned it to me. In my defence, I was wearing a cardigan which covered most of the shirt.

I am so ready for my holiday, just one more week of work to go, yay.
