I swear, for the first 34 years of my life, I didn't lose any jewelry. The closest I came is having a necklace stolen during a move. But Over the course of the last year, I've lost a ruby ring, a bracelet that I received that evening and lost straight off my wrist by midnight (never to be seen again), one of my Brian Gavin studs that my husband gave me when our son was born ... and now it's my wedding band.
I had taken it into the bathroom to steam: I walked into the living room and my friend asked me to read an e-mail for her; I put my hair up, read the e-mail, grabbed a few things from the kitchen that also belonged in the bedroom, picked up my toddler, walked into my bedroom and over to my desk, all prepared to put the ring back in its little house while I did some chores ... and BOOM! no ring.
I have spent the last 24 hours tearing my house apart. I've taken books off the shelves. I've cleaned out all the drawers in my desk. I've picked up my friend's computer and shaken it. I've checked all the outgoing trash. And ... nada. Anybody have any suggestions or anectdotes about Weird Places They Found Things? Or, failing that, dust? Or, failing that ... a metal detector?
