Me: Have you seen the 1/2 cup measuring cup?
Bryan: No, I never use it.
Me: Are you sure you haven’t seen it?
Bryan: I’ve never used it before.
Me: Well that doesn’t mean you’ve never SEEN it
Bryan: I haven’t seen it. If I put it somewhere, it would be in the drawer
Me: I have no idea where it is, I looked everywhere.
Bryan: You use it a lot?
Me: Almost every day. I used it Friday. The only thing I could think is that I accidentally put it in the oatmeal container when I threw it out.
Bryan looks through the garbage, and sure enough, that’s where it was, inside the oatmeal container.
Me: At least I was right.

Makes me wonder how many things that just disappeared were accidentally thrown out.

I also found my boots for CP12 training that I hadn’t seen in 3 years. I remembered that last time I saw them they were inside a box in my old suitcase, in my parents’ basement. Must have been my old one since I didn’t get my new one until right before our wedding. And that’s exactly where they were. I might put things in strange places (really, my closet would have made much more sense) but at least I find them … assuming the garbage man hasn’t gotten to them first. I also found my Corporate American Express Card. And that thing’s tiny. It was behind the couch in my important documents portfolio. I knew where the AC cover was too.

Unfortunately I don’t know what happened to my passport :-/ I know exactly where my old one is. I know I took it out of my purse after Rome because I didn’t want to lose it and it was on the coffee table for a while… but why wouldn’t I put it in the drawer under the TV then? *checks again* … yeah, it’s there.

  1. Wow, I have to say that is pretty amazing!! You actually knew where it was. I am so glad you found it. Ha. But it is crazy the amount of things we lose by just misplacing them!!

  2. Haha. I’m glad you found everything that you’ve “lost”. Hehe. I think I’m the same way when it comes to remembering things, but it’s definitely not as good of a memory as your’s.

  3. I’m the worst at finding things. When I lose something and ask my sister she always finds it in a spot I’ve already looked.

  4. I can’t even count how many times i’ve accidentally tossed in the trash.

    If you want to hear something funny, once I was bringing laundry and dishes downstairs from my room (I’m a hoarder, shhh). I proceeded to throw the laundry away, and put the dishes in the laundry basket. This is what happens when you don’t sleep. :P

    Probably completely irrelevent. LOL

  5. I haven’t been blog browsing in a while so I didn’t get a chance to catch up with you.

    YEAH i should’ve double checked with you first re: Disney Turkey legs. I mean I remember having a whole disney convo with you when i first stumbled upon your blog.

    Anyway I am just like you!!
    Me: HONEY! Where’s the [insert missing item]?
    …five seconds later, I scan my brain, check the location and there it is!
    LOL.
