Anyways, when I got home I didn't unload my bag and put the stuff away. I just took out what I needed: the baby outfit and toy for my friend's son, and the Christmas note cards. On Monday this week, I was writing a pen pal letter. I had reached the last page in my memo pad, so I went to grab one of the new letter pads I'd bought at T.M.
I looked for the bag in my craft room (which is a big mess and disorganized). But I couldn't find it. After searching all the places it could be (which aren't a lot). I came to the realization I must have thrown the bag out! I went out to the trash can, tipped it on it's side, and started rummaging through it. Couldn't find the bag! I went back inside and started looking around again. After many futile attempts to try and locate the darned bag. I never did find it! My only guess is I must have thrown the damn thing out. But I don't remember throwing it out.
I remember last seeing it Wed or Thurs last week. I remember picking it up (the bottles had clanked around), and putting it to the side of the bookshelf (because my husband needed me to make room for his stuff). I guess I must have mistaken it for another plastic bag of trash and thrown it out. Unfortunately the trash was collected that Friday. So it's long gone :-(
It upsets me to think about (especially in the beginning). But I'm slowly getting over it. The lesson to be learned here, is always double check what you are throwing away. AND remember to put your items away when you bring them home.
Oh BTW, I did go back to the store to TRY and recover what I lost. Sadly majority of the items were gone. I did manage to buy a couple of the notepads and they key ornament (last one!).
