"Things like to hide from me" or "I am getting old. . . "

I have been "looking" for my bell choir book for about 6 months now. . . you see, we didn't have bell choir after Christmas last year because the director was finishing up her Master's degree and teaching Kindergarten, besides being a busy Mother of two college graduatesand two in high school. . . sooooooooooooo I took my book home, planning to practice with another member during the hiatus. Well, I got this job and have been sick and one excuse after another. . .

Today, I was sitting at the computer and spotted something that looked familiar at the end of my couch. Good grief! The bell choir book was right there all along. We play on Sunday so am happy that I have the old book back! Guess I need to clean more often?

OK, that isn't the only thing that has gone missing over the months. . .

I had put my media card in the usb photo thingie on my computer and downlaoded/uploaded the photos. The next morning, I saw it still there and took it out BUT I could not see where I had placed my camera the night before. . . so I guess I set the media card down somewhere. . . finally found the camera and then I lost the media card. Now that wouldn't be so bad IF I knew where my little "purse" of 5 other media cards were. I usually carry it with me in a bag -- hate purses -- but had emptied the bag one day when I was doing something that I did nto need all the extras I usually carry. NOW, where did I put that? Still haven't found it.

I really wanted some photos of my class during the Thanksgiving celebration. Thus, last Sunday, after church, I braved the torrid rainstorm and took two buses across the river to Oregon to a shopping center where I bought the camera 5 years ago. That is where I bought my additional medi cards also. I had a hard time finding the usual rack for them and then found out that they don't produce my type any longer. . . sigh Who would have thought? Had I known that, I might have bought a few more when I was buying. With my luck, they would all be in the same little "purse" that is lost now tho. sigh

I am hoping that one day SOON, I will see the card right before my eyes when least expecting it. What if it snows this weekend? NO PHOTOS!!!!!!!!! Arrrrggggggggh If I could at least find the single one -- all the photos are uploaded so I don't mind about not having photos, I jsut need the "empty" card!!!!!!!!! Soooooooo, tomorrow that is my plan. . . I am cleaning til I find it! It has to be here somewhere. . .

I'm sad. . . .

A teacher I know from the internet and her hubby have been remodeling an old hotel for sometime now. The photos she has shared are of a drop dead gorgeous restoration. I have been waiting to see the finale. . . last I heard, they ordered the elevator for it. I even hoped to go someday just to see it in person and of course meet "Chloe."

Now she is talking of moving to another country and not living in this restored hotel/home after all. Yes, I am sad. . . and praying hard that she was just kidding.

That's all. I can't bear to dwell on this. Her plans for the restored hotel as a private home were something to look forward to . . . the joy is gone.
