Close call...

     As you all know, yesterday was election day... aka one of the longest days for the media.  I didn't get home until almost 2 a.m. and when I did I was so tired and out of sorts that I took all of my jewelery off in a rush.  I woke up this morning and I couldn't find my engagement ring.  I couldn't find it anywhere. And of course, to make things worse Scott just happened to be awake. He seemed peeved because he doesn't understand why I take it off before bed every night. I know I shouldn't take it off, but I just can't sleep with it on. I looked in all the regular places I usually leave it, but I had no luck.  Panicking, I tore through my dresser drawers and through out the bathroom.  I ended up finding it under a dog toy. I still can't find the necklace I wore last night.  The search continues tonight...

Hi Stephanie, I'm sure you were turning warm and cold at the same time. Something similar happened to me but I had lost and found mine in a yucky garbage bag after a dinner party. You see, my engagement ring got a bit to big for me after dieting for my wedding. So after a summer barbecue with family, we were trowing all the dirty paper plates away in a garbage bag and with it my engagement ring. It took me actually an hour to realize I lost it only because my fiance was asking where it was. I got in a panic attack and started to look everywhere like a chicken without a head, knowing I was wearing the "thing" before the barbecue. Just when they were about to put the garbage bags away I had a feeling I had to look in the garbage bag and luckily for me my beautiful diamond ring was in there all wrapped up in salad, dressings, rice and other slippery things. I was near to crying yet very relieved and happy. The next day I had the ring altered to fit my fingers. Guess where my ring is now? Because I gained weight again after the wedding and our first child, it is now safely stored in its jewel box and I can't wear it anymore but... I cannot lose it either or.... I have to lose some weight!

You are your mother's daughter.
