Hi All....can I vent?
I have AGED in the last three days (shocking because I'm already old...) and I wanted to share my horror story.
Three days ago I was late, and in a rush to leave for a party. I was madly putting on my jewelry, which was in the little dish where I put it when I'm home. I grabbed my bracelet and heard the noise: one of my new (to me) antique OMC earrings, apparently stuck on the bracelet went flying...I knew not where.
To make a long sad story short, I went three days without finding it! I covered every inch of that room on my hands and knees with a flashlight, moved all the furniture, moved and completely dismantled a big book case, went through the trash, sifted through the ashes in the fireplace....no luck. I even 'frisked' my big shaggy velcro-haired dog several times!!
I've been just sick about it.
Yesterday the gal that cleans my house came and she and I tore the room apart again. No luck. I had to leave...really depressed. An hour later I got a phone call. The housekeeper had given up "looking" and then miraculously found it while dusting!!!!! It was sort of under/behind the TV set..where we'd both looked several times before.
I just had to share this...I hadn't told anyone yet of the loss. I'm still walking around the house in shock! Bleah!
MORAL: NEVER NEVER hurry when your're putting on your jewelry!!!
Thanks!
