Did you look in ALL the boxes I asked?

Yes, he said. I can't find them. I think we got rid of them last year.

Hmm...I do recall getting rid of a bunch of red xmas bows last year. We put them on our fence and house for the holidays and they do tend to wear out over time, depending on the weather. But it's not like me to NOT remind myself to buy more (in the off season or when they are on sale after xmas.)

Well, Mr. Santa was all in a hurry to start decorating so I went out and bought more bows at full price, which kills the frugal person inside me, and I had to take what I could find cause every other person in town had the same idea.

Today I opened one of the containers to get some ribbon out and ALL OF THE BRAND NEW BOWS THAT I BOUGHT ON SALE LAST YEAR are in the box. Not covered by anything.



I know, I know...first world problems.

1. My wife stopped asking me if I had "looked" for something a long time ago.

3. LOL!

I should have known better. I do blame myself for not looking first.

5. But I did look!

and I couldn't see it from the recliner so I assume it no longer exists.

2. Go easy on the guy - he may have a good reason for not wanting to look in strange, dark boxes.
