Outside the box

So, your mother gets back from vacation in one week and you have evidently lost one of the earrings that you hounded her for five months to get you for your birthday. That it is her fault for repeatedly asking you since July “did you lose the earrings I got you already…why aren’t you wearing them,” which then forced you to start wearing them and consequently lose one will not go over well. Thus, you now have the following options:

1. Search on ebay for one earring to match the one I’ve got left.
2. Go to Macy’s and buy the exact pair of earrings.
3. Hire little Indonesian children to spend the next three days scouring every inch of my apartment.
4. Invent story of masked gunmen on a stealing one earring rampage.
5. Enter witness protection program.
6. Invent new medical condition which prevents me from wearing more than one earring at a time.

    Why Indonesian children? Throw Mexicans at the problem, easier to find/get.

    BTW, don’t think it’s escaped my notice that your current subtitle “maybe I’ll get it right next time” is from my favorite song of all time by the best band of all time.

    That reminds me. Update your amazon wishlist. All your high priority items are from 2005. Esp. since your eyes aren’t set on the tv or anything.

    You don’t need to tell her twice.

    Shhh, you’re not supposed to tell the people where I’m going! When are you coming to visit? Did you hear I own an elliptical machine? Didja?

    You’re so racist.

    And fatist, what of it?

    Apparently I do. Still un-updated. How badly do you want that Braff brother book from 2003. Hmm?
