Coming Clean

Y'all, I'm losing it. 

Literally. 

A few weeks ago during a cold snap I lost both pairs of my favorite Spanx Tight End tights. (They are the greatest. Try them.)  I searched the house high and low, did every drop of laundry and still couldn't find them. Turns out I had hung over a hanger to dry after washing and put them in my closet, hidden between other clothes. I found them a week later - after it had warmed up, of course.

But it gets worse. 

Right after the New Year, I started reading Gabriel García Márquez's 100 Years of Solitude. It's been a slow read for me but I was diligently plugging away at it. And then, I lost the book.  It just disappeared into thin air. Or so it seemed. The Mister and I tore the house apart. I stripped the sheets off the bed, moved couches, broke out the flashlight and left no corner unchecked. B even searched the freezer. (I guess I can be a little scatterbrained.)  I was convinced the book had grown legs and walked away.  After three weeks, I finally gave up on ever finding it and started a new book on Sunday. 

Well, I found the book. 

In my gym bag.

THREE weeks later.

I could not be more embarrassed if I tried.

It totally happens. I blame ghosts. They move all my stuff.

don't tell your trainer re the gym bag. his response might actually make you punch him in the face.

Sara said...

Hahaha! I agree with Sarah, ghosts totally moved your stuff. Blame away!

Also, I hate that it's already too warm for you to wear tights. Seriously?! It's still snowing here. When can I move in?

I do this ALL the time. I swear someone in my house is screwing with me. Husbie just tells me I am forgetful. One time, our can opener disappeared for over a month, then all of a sudden it was back in the drawer. WTH? I currently can't find any of my 4 ID cards for the gym. ARGH! I hate forgetting where I put stuff...

100 Years was waaaay to slow for me. I gave up on it and I hate giving up on books. So, I'm glad you hear you feel similarly.

Ugh this has been happening to me too lately! It's the worst! Just yesterday I lost a bag full of $30 worth of art supplies... hopefully this story has a happy ending like yours did!
