Well my wife and I just celebrated our first glorious year of marriage on August 19th.  It was a great year filled with lots of memories and changes.

One observation though I’d like to point out with my new found wisdom from having 1 year of marriage under my belt is how clueless being married has made me.  Not clueless about everything, just hopelessly clueless about my personal schedule.  I honestly have no idea what events are coming up anymore. Are we going out of town? Do we have people visiting? What’s todays date?

I used to have a pretty reliable mental calendar, knowing that “ok in 2 weeks I’m going out of town” or “next Thurs so and so is coming to visit”  Now I couldn’t tell you what I’m doing tomorrow let alone next weekend!  So as a result I’m constantly “double booking” and making my wife mad.  Often getting the “don’t you remember we decided to do xyz next week, so we can’t do abc?!  I just talked to you about this!”

I guess my question to the married men of the world is if this is normal? Do you find yourself having had the same lobotomy that I had where the scheduling part of your brain has been lopped out and chucked in the trash? Now to clarify, this is only the part of the brain that deals with your social calendar of events, the work or business calendar part of the brain remains in tact.
