I may be losing it

One thing I am not good at is remembering names. I actually can remember faces but putting names with it is not a strength of mine. I know you thought I was perfect but SURPRISE I am not. Case in Point. Today at swim lessons this lady, whose face I did recognize, comes up to me and says "You got a new car." My mind starts racing to figure out where I know her from- (school, church, soccer, neighbor, baseball, relative, piano etc.) I have no clue who this lady is or how I know her. So out come the feeler questions. How are your kids? How did you hear about this swim school? (That got it narrowed down to the neighborhood.) I still don't know who this lady is and how I know her and now I have to go every week to swim and some how figure it out. I hate that feeling, especially when they remember your name. I do this all the time. I think I am losing it, although my kids and Jason would say that that has been happening for a long time. People will introduce themselves to me and 2 minutes later I have forgotten their name. So I guess next week I will keep asking the feeler questions until I can figure out exactly who this lady is. (Or maybe I will go and ask my neighbor Heather who knows everybody in the neighborhood and see if she can figure it out for me!)

Or you could say, "Help me remember your name" GG

As Ryan would say, you probably know her from Sonic.
