Every once in a while I do something that is completely absent minded. I started thinking about this the other day when I was in a hurry to get out of the house but I was on my phone talking with a friend. I was frantically looking, no tearing through my room. I was looking in all my pockets of all my shorts and pants. I looked through my dresser, my closet, and through the dirty clothes hamper. I checked the dryer, the washing machine, the bathroom...everywhere I could think of. What was i searching for? MY CELL PHONE!!! That's how dumb I am sometimes. I spent a good 10 minutes looking for something that was in my hand. It was like I was in a hypnotic state. I was passively going through the motions of looking for something that is usually in my pocket. Since I didn't feel it in my pocket I started looking for the device...never connecting that I was using it the entire time.
It's not the only time I've lost my mind. There has been more than one occasion where I eat a bowl of cereal, putting the milk in the pantry and the cereal in the refrigerator. Yesterday I accidentally put face wash on my toothbrush. I'm going insane obviously. Last week I was driving around just thinking about things and I realized I was in the Best Buy parking lot in San Marcos....that's right, my subconscious decided I was going to Best Buy.
It scares me some. It reminds me of my dad. I don't think I've ever opened his microwave without finding a cup of coffee in it. There was also the time my friends roommate used lemon dish washing liquid to flavor his chicken. I think that was because he was a idiot though and thought the lemon meant it was lemon flavoring.
Why am I telling you this? I don't know...why are you reading it?

I do the same kind of stuff all the time.
Also, don't you think it's weird that we make our dish-washing fluid smell like food?
on one hand I do think it's strange on the other I kind of dream of the day when they make soap that smells like bacon.
