#20 Happy "I Forgot" Day

#20 Happy "I Forgot" Day
July 2, 2013

Yesterday was "I Forgot" Day, but I forgot to blog about it. ;) Apparently this is a real holiday where everyone is provided with a reminder to write all those cards they forgot to write this year or, if you want to work preemptively, the cards you will most likely forget to write in the future.

It appears that there are even entire websites with templates such as these for writing those forgotten notes:

Dear [insert name of the forgotten here]:

Please forgive me for having forgotten to acknowledge your [birthday, anniversary, graduation, etc] this year! It was thoughtless of me to have missed such an important event, and I'd like to make it up to you by [baking some cookies, buying you a drink, writing you a poem].

In my case, being forgetful is [part of my charm, especially unusual, an all-too-common occurrence]but know that [you're in my thoughts, I care for you more than life itself, I adore you] and I can hardly wait to [celebrate with you, acknowledge your special day in style] … next year.

[With much love, in all sincerity, yours truly…]

[Your name]

p.s. Also, thanks for the [birthday, anniversary, graduation] gift. I forgot to send a thank you card this year, but it was really great! Exactly what I [needed, wanted, was too cheap to buy for myself].

So, be expecting some lovely cards in the mail soon! ;) Unless I forgot that I forgot your big event...
