Phooey on winter...

We woke up to rain today. Rain that froze shortly after hitting the ground. We also got hit with ice damming problems again (google ice damming). The water was coming in through the top of the big window sill in the dining room. Craig was out in rain for an hour trying to chip the ice off the roof. The rain seems to have slowed now. Thank goodness. Now it's just a slushy, icy, frozen mess.

The Earring Abyss

I don't know what it is about me and earrings, but I always seem to lose earrings. Well, I seldom lose the pair, but I tend to lose just one, breaking the set. It's starting to get annoying. My problem is I like dangly earrings. Not ones that hang down to my shoulders, just ones that hang a little past my earlobe.

Yet again today I have lost an earring. It actually happened some time last night. My sister called, I had on new earrings that I just ordered at a friends Lia Sophia party, I took one off while we were on the phone because it kept clinking the phone reciever. That was the last time I saw the pair. Craig picked up an earring off the floor this morning in the living room and said, "This is yours." That's when I realized I didn't remember taking the earrings off last night before I went to bed. I've been tearing apart my room, the living room, the kitchen, the couch, the laundry chute all to no avail. I don't want to give up because I really like these earrings. I've resorted to prayers to St. Anthony, patron saint of lost items. I hope he's not having too busy of a day! I really want to find that earring.

The ironic part... I bought these earrings to go with a necklace my friend Sangeeta made me. When she gave me the necklace... she gave me matching earrings too. I lost one of those earrings as well. So I have a mismatched pair of earrings to go with my necklace. BOO!
