Ever lose something and never find it again and it drives you crazy not knowing where it is? This happens to me on a regular constant basis. It started when I was young...I lost the remote to my new stereo. I searched everything, the whole house, endlessly and it never showed up. Where on earth could it have gone. I never took it outside so it had to be somewhere. I don't think I ever found it.
This happens a lot to me when it comes to jewelry. I take it off, put it in my gym bag, my purse, a random tote bag, travel bag, box...etc. and then it sits there. Over the years I have taken to doing a sort of jewelry inventory. I look through all of those things above and usually am pretty satisfied finding the one lost earring or pairs that I didn't even know I was missing. I did this last night and much to my happiness found quite a few pairs including these below which had just slipped off my earring holder and onto the floor, but under a stool:
This definitely was a happy victory for me! Then there are those things that go missing and you don't really care because you wouldn't necessarily wear them anymore, but finding them brings up a lot of good memories like this horrible green headband I wore every day for a good stretch of time in 2005:
My husband absolutely HATES it and I found it last night while doing jewelry inventory. He also hated the sweatpants I was wearing. This is a loaded photo because I am wearing a fleece that also went missing over the years and was never found, but on the bright side I also found my Blink182 t-shirt from the very first concert I ever attended. LOL! Then there are things like this sweatshirt *below* that have been missing, but still in use by someone else:
The problem with me is once I find things I tend to lose other things. For example, somehow this weekend my makeup bag went missing. I've looked high and low for it and still not found it, BUT I found this:
My set of spare keys that have been missing 2+ years! Every week for the past two years it has been on my TO DO list to go get a new set made (much to my husbands dismay I hadn't gotten around to it yet.), but now I don't have to! If I had never lost my makeup bag, I never would have found these little puppies hiding under the passenger seat in my vehicle. So...am I just irresponsible because I lose everything, or do I just lose things so I can find other thing? Who knows!? Am I alone on this? Do I have some sort of MISPLACEMENT DISORDER? Now where is that darn makeup bag?
******A special thanks to my friend Laci who somehow magically appeared in each of the photos with things that had gone missing...hmmmm****** LOL!!

Thanks Dad...I won't be needing that back.
