Lost and found

Good day all.  Can you believe we're over the hump in the first week of September?  Uh-oh.  The 5th.  Today is my anniversary and we both forgot!  Well, after 43 years and a house in disorder with rearranging schedules to share a car, it's understandable.  A Dairy Queen chocolate rock sundae tonight! 

 Before I forget, Yankee Candle has a BOGO large candle offer until 9/8 that is not listed on their website.  You need the coupon to use in stores and that was sent by email, but if you order online or call (1-877-803-6890) and use the code FALL, you can get a free large for every large you purchase.  Great for Christmas gifts and only $5 shipping, free over $100.

I had my camera on my wrist after snapping the brats, and in my frustrating search, kept clicking.  I think I was assuming that reviewing the photos would reveal the items' whereabouts.  It was cold and I wanted to grab a pair of socks, but couldn't find them.  Why?  My furniture is wearing most of them.

 

So I went upstairs and checked another drawer for the fuzzies, grabbed a pair while holding two boxes I planned on finishing. Don't forget the TP for the bath downstairs. Hmm.  I thought I had the boxes.  Must not have grabbed them - check the cupboards.  Nope.  How about here?  Nope.  Have a few pieces of chocolate while you're looking.

 

 

 

 

 

 So get another box and start over instead of wasting more time.  Hmm.  Feels a little heavy - must have a smaller box inside.

 So this is where the GPS cord has been hiding for a year.  YAY!!!  I'm going to put it in hub's car and tell him it was there all along.

  Now where are the little Friend pillows I stitched a few weeks ago and have not seen since?  Caswell Massey had the best lavender scented soap on earth, and I wanted to get a few bars for gifts.  Not the same as it was years ago.  Very disappointed, but being very fragrant, I like to put stitchery in the box to grab the scent.  So I did.  But kept checking and they weren't there. 

 After throwing the lid in frustration, I see this.  The damn things were stuck in the top of the lid so every time I peeked inside to get what I KNEW I put in there, I couldn't see them.

(Note the empty Dove wrappers)

And where are the labels I printed for orders?  Wasting more time searching so just reprint.  After doing just that, I needed my recipe book for mom's rice pudding, couldn't find it, but when I needed the drywall trowel to add another coat, there was the recipe book with the printed labels beneath.  Why????

Printing them again was a good thing, because as I picked up the new *$#@ printer and slammed it back down, I saw this peeking out.  My floss guide that I've been searching for to check on this.  Big difference.

  

So even though I had a very frustrating day of searching, I found several things in the process.  A good day!  But where were those boxes and the pair of socks I grabbed?  After a shower, I went into the closet for lotion, and saw them sitting on the attic access steps.  I must have set them there when I grabbed the roll of TP!  A day of mysteries, all solved.

 

The End.
