Sometimes I like to surprise myself with little gifts, preferably chocolate. But how do I do that, when I’m the one buying it? Well, what I do is I buy some chocolate — like a candy bar — and hide it somewhere. I’ll forget it, maybe for a couple of weeks, and then when I’m looking for something, I find it. “Whoa! I forgot I had that. Sweet!”
I do that with food in my car. I tell my husband its for “emergencies”, but your post makes me think maybe I do it to surprise myself. It is a good thing we are forgetful. ;)
