1. Blow dryer - I suppose if I used it often, I would have noticed that it had gone missing sooner. None of us remembers the last time we saw it or used it. We used it in three separate bathrooms and also the garage for woodworking projects and possibly elsewhere. 2. Watch - Missing for about a month and a half. I have another watch, but Mickey fell off his attaching section and is now floating around inside it. The arms are still attached to the center and sort of tell time, but the arms get caught on armless Mickey. It’s a sad sight. 3. Etching paste - I bought it to etch our initials in our water glasses. With four of us drinking water, our glasses keep getting mixed up. So then we get another glass out of the cupboard which dirties all the glasses much too quickly. If we had a glass with our own initial on it, then we could use it all day before we wash it saving water and energy. 4. Can of food in the field - We buried a can of food and noted the location for a “wilderness skills navigation project,” but we forgot which tree was one of the points of the triangle (or whatever it was). So now we have no idea where that can of food is. A homeschool project gone awry. 5. Card reader - For our SD cards. I finally found my cord so that I can download the pics straight into the printer or the computer. But we do have other cards and do need our card reader. 6. My daughter’s current writing book - We’re using something else for the present. 7. Pink flamingo legs - Our dog chewed on my pink flamingo a little and the legs fell off as he was drug around the yard and into the field and hither and yon. Legs are missing. A legless pink flamingo lies on top of my file cabinet. Seems to match armless Mickey in a really weird, limbless sort of way. 8. Sewing box - Since I hate sewing, this has been a very convenient loss. However, I am back working on a quilt after about 1.5 years of sewing vacation and I need quilting thread, etc. 9. Evanescence sheet music - Pretty song, missing sheet music. It could be in the credenza. But didn’t see it the last time I looked there. The cover is a little less than happy looking, so I put it away so that I didn’t have to look at it. Now, it’s missing. Hear the piano part on YouTube.com. 10. Class ring - from university. 18K gold. Ooops. 11. Stone from ring - Huge Alexandrite stone fell out of my ring while cleaning the house or folding clothes. I remember it catching on something, and then later I noticed the stone was missing. I’m a firm believer in using something rather than keeping it locked up in the safe deposit box. However, that philosophy does have its downside. At least I know it’s somewhere in the house, right? Unless I took out the trash or fed the dogs, or watered the lawn. Another ooops. 12. About 22 forks - Stainless steel, in two different patterns. Lost over the last 20 something years. Gone. Why would the forks go that the spoons and knives not go? I guess into the fork vortex. 13. One green-handled steak knife - Missing. Gone. I even dug through the trash bit by bit out on the driveway, in the wind, no less. Someone brought their set of steak knives over for a barbeque and one knife disappeared. Yeah, it’s totally gone. The only place I didn’t look was in the tan/gold sofa, but I’m not going to tear it apart for a knife that I don’t think is in there anyway. There is only one conclusion that can be drawn. I’m a loser. Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 3. Ever After 5. Naked Truth 7. (leave your link in comments, I’ll add you here!)
