At a Loss Pt 2: iLose

I love my husband more than anyone else on the planet but the sad reality is, he's a loser.

He loses his keys, he loses his wallet, he loses money, he loses jewelry, he loses umbrellas, he loses books, he loses cell phones, he loses EVERYTHING; all the time. Ok...Maybe that's harsh. it's more fair and accurate to say that he "misplaces" things for extended periods of time. All the afformentioned items almost always turn up...eventually. sometimes it takes a few minutes, sometimes hours, sometimes weeks. See, as smart as he is, and lemme tell you that man is indisputably SM-ART, is as absent minded as he is. He's left the remote control for the stereo in the kitchen for hours at a time, left his wallet in the car for days, etc. again: these things always turn up, it's just a question of when...usually it's either right before or right after the credit cards are cancelled or item is replaced.

The most recent victim is the iPod nano i rufus gave him for this past father's day. it was little and cute and green and now it's gone. Poof. Nowhere to be found. He thinks he may have left it at work, so it may be somewhere in his department's office or somebody may have just walked off with it. it's anybody's guess.

Anyway, with Christmas right around the corner, I'm rufus is considering getting him another one...one of the new nano's...again in green. We know he'll enjoy it as much as he enjoyed the 1st one, listening to his podcasts and his Red Hot Chili Peppers, we're just going to accessorize it with a chain that clips to his wrist....

Now, wasn't there a fairly recent post of yours where you'd also lost something very important?

Are you a pair of losers?

I dated a guy that lost everything too. I am anal rententive and everything has to have a home to return to. I have to admit, I got hot headed a few times over wallets lost out in public and such. I believe murder is what was on my mind. But that's me, you're obviously much more patient than I'm capeable of.

Ok. No one else seems disturbed by something in this posting so I have to point it out. Now, I'm ALL for domesticity and all the wonderful things that go with it, but have you really turned into THAT person?? The person who buys gifts for their significant other for FATHER'S DAY under the guise of the DOG???

I love you more than life itself, but that my darling, is R-E-T-A-R-T-E-D!!!!

Ask Doreen. Im sure she agrees :-P

RC: i'm patient as long a it doesn't affect me. when/if he loses something of mine or somehting like, say, THE CAR then we'll see how patient i am...

JM: oh stifle yerself, mary. go walk your fish.

thomas: if you can find it...you can keep it...

Why not get him a LARGER ipod, and by larger, I mean physically larger, so it's more difficult to lose.
