Brain cells and Shopping

Ok, I'm honestly starting to scare myself!  I single-handedly figured out how to add the "Pin it" button on my website.  I do not know how I figured it out without crashing my whole site...But I did it!  I feel like a kid who just learned to tie her shoes. This part of my newly found brain is fabulously smart and I wonder where it has been my whole life...I seriously could have used it about a dozen times (just in the past hour)!

I wasn't always like this.  In my day, about 100 years ago (when we walked to school uphill and barefoot), I was what one would call a "smart girl".  So, when did the brain cells decide to jump ship?  And how did I get them back at the age of 50?

Here is my theory....

When my daughter Zoe was born 20 years ago, I breastfed her for 8 months until she weaned me.  About that time, I noticed I became a raving idiot and you know why???  My daughter had sucked my brains out through my nipples.  You can't make this shit up!  (FYI...it paid off, she is super smart!)  So why now, after 20 years, have I acquired a brain Einstein would be proud of (well…if Einstein had an IQ of 90).  Maybe aliens came down and are using me as a test dummy.  Or...maybe I had a secret filing cabinet in the back of my head that was misplaced all these years and when I clocked myself on the head with a shoe (don't ask), it jarred the filing cabinet open. I don't know, but I guess I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. What I should do is share my newfound brilliance with the world...Or...I could go shopping to celebrate. Being fabulously smart is exhausting!
