September 28 A while ago I lost an earring. I was pretty sure it was near the dresser in my bedroom, so I wasn't terribly upset when I couldn't find it immediately. I figured the next time I was doing a move-the-furniture vacuuming, I'd find the earring. Well, no, I didn't. I was still reasonably sure the earring was in the bedroom. As I told a friend at the time, I was disappointed that the cleaning spree didn't make it appear, but I was going to quit looking, except to keep an eye out for anything shiny in or near the carpet. And I did just that. It turns out the earring had managed to lodge itself under some television wire, on the television stand which lives near the dresser. I was after something else tonight and happened to move the wire. Imagine my surprise to find the earring. I can figure out how it got on the television stand, but I'm not quite sure what combination of jiggling got it under the wire. I am just glad it was there. And yes, I still have the mate. So I have back both halves of a favorite pair of earrings, which, in case you're curious, are small gold hoops. Something else I have is a resolution to be a lot more careful when I'm taking off my jewelry! Text © copyright 2000-2004 Becky
