My absolute favorite charcoal skinny jeans are completely AWOL. I am despondent. I have clothes all over my house but I checked everywhere!

It's not clothing, but my collapsable Nordies re-usable shopping bag is missing. I use it to carry my heels in when I commute. )-: Have no idea where I've left it. It's not where it's supposed to be and I'm beginning to wonder if I actually left it somewhere...

I have shoes stored away since my boots are taking over my space at the moment. I've been hunting for two days for a pair of cream shoes I KNOW I have SOMEWHERE!

Oh no! I did think I'd lost my phone charger this morning thankfully it was just in the wrong drawer.
Considering how messy I am I rarely loose clothes *touch wood* and it's usually just that I've hung it to dry somewhere different or someone has put towels on top of my washing in the airing cupboard x

Oh no! How awful.

This has never happened to me. But I do forget that I have things at the cleaners, panic, and calm down.

Perhaps things will turn up when you move?

My clothes tend to wander away, though most of the time they turn up within a few months. This has happened more frequently since I moved.

I've been looking for my dark blue felt hat, which is perfect to wear in winter, and haven't been able to find it for months. Yesterday my mom called to tell me that it finally turned up at her house!

I am currently missing all of my winter hats. I had several items of clothing that have just "disappeared" never to bee seen again. On the other hand, I have also moved 9 times in the past 4 years and used laundry facilities at someone else's home or the laundry mat frequently. I don't think that is where my hats are though-- since they never left CO! More things disappear into the black whole that is my mother's house than have ever been stolen out of a dryer!

I have this nagging feeling that I took my BR Martin pants to be properly hemmed and just never picked them up (I did a very last-minute slapdash job before an interview last year and needed to have it taken out and done professionally). It seems unlikely because the tailor surely would have called me, right? But I can't fathom what else it could be. I have scraped every corner of my house for them.

I did find the dress though. It fell behind my dresser.

I often panic when a piece is missing only to find it hooked on another hanger after picking up a big bunch of dry cleaning.

Maya, you should ring your tailor. Couldn't hurt to inquire.

One of my black velvet gloves is missing. (sob!) I LOVE those gloves!

Eh, this would have been almost a year ago. They don't keep un-accounted-for items longer than 60 days. The thing is, I'm not even sure if I actually ever did take them to the tailor. I know I had been meaning to, but I can't recall if I did. Not to mention I haven't been consistent about what tailor I go to, so I wouldn't even know which one I left it at.

Anyway, I'd hate to turn into this guy.

This is ridiculous and OT clothes wise but... once I couldn't find my floor mop-- I checked any alternate spots to where it should have been--checked thru hockey sticks and umbrellas. I thought I was going crazy -kept looking off and on over the day just to break up the feeling of loosing my mind knowing it should be where it usually lives next to the sink in the laundry room but it's not there--rewalked my last steps everything arrrrg. I was recounting my slip into senility over supper when my middle son told me he had it in his room, under his bed. I think my most used expression to my kids since then has been "I would never have thought to look there!!" .

Yup, I would have thought to look under my son's bed for a mop...NOT! LOL They never clean anyway, yet they make off with our cleaning tools?? What is that some kind of cruel joke they like to play...

"Let's watch Mom hunt for the mop...Go hide it in the dog house..."

Mmmwhhhhahahahaha...

(Can you tell I have 3 kids?? LOL)

Thank goodness I'm not the only one who misplaces objects that *shouldn't* be hard to find.

The other day I brought my water bottle in the house, set it down on the counter next to my purse, and spent the next 30 minutes looking for it. (The water bottle is unfortunately very close in color and almost the same height as the purple purse that was in front of it.)

And I've also lost items (a badge/lanyard, keys, cell phone, headphones) in pockets that I wasn't aware my purses even had.

This happens to me, too, and it generally means either (1) I need to go pick things up at the dry cleaner or (2) I need to purge my closet.

I had a pair of BCBG white pants missing forever, finally bought a new pair, and then they showed up in the midst of my fiance's shirts - I'm sure it will turn up!
