So back in December when I was driving back to WA from MA with my friend Meg, I lost my keys. I have a big set of keys and it was getting cumbersome to have them with me all the time. The only one I was using was the car key, so I took it off and put the other keys somewhere safe so I wouldn't lose them. I must have done done this on the second day or so.
Fast forward 4ish days. We arrive home and it's about 5:30. It's pitch black out since it's winter. I had no idea where the keys are. We're locked out. Meg & I start tearing the car apart and we're searching in all our bags, under the seats, in the console, in the door. I make some calls and find out that a friend does have a key! YAY, we can go get it so we start reassembling the car. Molly doesn't really want to get back in, but she has too. Before we drive off I just go and check one thing. I'm able to finagle my way into the house. I go and open the door. Molly comes bounding in and I call out to Meg that we can get it and I see utter relief on her face. I call my friend and tell them I'll get the key later. Thankfully we had 1 spare key in the house and that's what I've been using.
Fast forward to today, March 2, 2011. I stopped by the Department of Licensing to see if a copy of my title had arrived so I could transfer my plates. (I've been trying since last week to do this). Thankfully it was there and I could get WA plates. I am no longer a resident on MA...Officially I live in WA. Bittersweet. My MA plates are on the car cause I haven't gotten a chance to change them yet (obviously blogging about it was more important!) I needed my registration so I ran out to the car to get and pulled out all sorts of paper from my glove box. I threw the papers on the passenger seat and took what I needed back in with me. Once I got back out with my brand new plates (the one in the picture IS NOT mine!) and went to put the papers back in the glove box. And what do I see there? Keys! That's where I put my keys for safe keeping! I really thought Meg & I had had looked there. Guess not! I'm happy to have my keys back though I think I'm going to get rid of what I don't need. I've gotten use to carrying smaller, lighter keys!
Have you lost anything recently?
Where did you find it?
I hate it when I do things like that, but I LOVE it when I happen to find the missing things! Did you just recently move from MA to WA? That's a pretty big change of scenery!
ReplyDeleteI hate losing my keys! It's the worst. I haven't really lost anything lately...that I can think of! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I lose things daily. I wish I were more organized but with 6 children is it any wonder I'm able to keep track of anything?? I often lose my keys and I hate to say it but my wedding rings too. I often take them off to cook or clean which is a bad habit to get into. I am stopping by your blog from the Thirsty Thursday blog hop and a new follower.
ReplyDeleteI didn't lose my key, I flushed it down the toilet. That key was never found again. Glad you were able to find yours. :)
ReplyDeleteI lost our tax refund check and found it later that morning, but only after digging through our recycling bin that was on its way to the curb to be recycled--oops!
ReplyDeleteGuess that's what I get for trying to de-clutter our dining room table in a hurry :)
I am a pro at losing my debit card, drivers license, keys and glasses. fastest way to find them is to move on and replace them!
