Oh. My. Gosh. So we got home from our vacation and I did the usual. Laundry, pay bills, sort through things and put them away. You know the routine. Then I decided I wanted to take some photos. No surprise there, right?
But I wanted to use my best lens. My canon 7-200mm f4 L lens. Love that baby! 
So I go to look for the lens. Can’t find it. It’s not in my big camera case that I left at home. Not in my office. Then I vaguely remember “hiding” it. :crazy2: I do that sometimes in my rush to leave. Hide some jewelry, my backup disk for my computer, the backup thumb drives. Had I hidden my lens?
Where the HECK had I hid it? I’ve done some silly things…like wearing shoes that don’t match… I blame it on the fact I always seem to be doing several things at once. You know, like most females. So sometimes I don’t give quite the concentration to the task at hand. 
So I tore my bedroom apart. Drawer by drawer, shelf by shelf, bag by bag. Nothing. By then I’m panicked. What the heck am I going to tell SuperGuy? (well, I WASN’T going to tell him, that’s for sure!! I’d NEVER hear the end of it!).
Anyway I look in my closet again. And again. Finally I see that this tupperware bin of old socks (don’t ask) is out of place. I look in there and HOORAY, there is my lens!! I sure don’t remember putting it in there…at all.
But my lens and I are reunited. All is right in my little universe. But the next time we vacation? I’m so writing down a list of where I stash stuff and giving the list to my sister…

I love the lens on my camera, too! My camera is an old camera that only uses film, and my hubby bought me a beautiful zoom lens one year that is fabulous.
The memory thing- it sucks doesn’t it???
Been there, done it. I still can’t find a pair of earrings from last year… :cursing:
Oh! I blame my memory problems on doing too many things at once also! You’re not alone. So glad you and your lens were reunited!
I cleaned my fridge last weekend (way overdue), and I found my long lost sterling silver hoop earring. Yes, in the fridge … under the meat drawer. I can’t figure out that one, but I don’t think I put it there!
Boy can I relate to your story! We are leaving on a cruise in less than 2 months. While discussing it, Doughboy asked me if I knew the whereabouts of my passport. My reply was, “Of course I do – it’s right in my backpack along with my iPod. It’s in our closet”. So I go to the closet to make my point, and my backpack was gone. I panicked for 2 weeks as I turned our house upside down. I was at the point where I was going to have to show up in person for a new passport. when I thought of one more place I hadn’t searched – my scraproom. There in the corner of my scrap closet was my backpack. I was sooooo excited to find it! It’s in a new safe place now…some where…oh, dear!
Oh, I have done this dozens of times. You would be surprised that even though we are in a RV with limited space, i still manage to misplace things.
As for the different shoes, I am notorious for doing this. Back when I was working, when I found shoes that I liked, I would buy them in several colors. You guessed it! I would be out in public or perhaps even at a customer with two different shoes on. It is very embarrassing!
Glad you found your lens!!!
teehee.
Glad you found the lens. If you had time to make a list, where would you hide the list?
Mental Mama…hope you find your earrings!
Amy…you found your earring in the fridge??
I’m just glad I found my lens. I’m going to have to quit multi tasking so much…
So what’s with the tupperware bin of old socks?
oh, “special places”. Sometimes finding the “special places” that hold treasure can be very productive.
Like finding a $100 bill in the bobin drawer of the sewing maching, what year did I do that?…..now if I could just find the “special place” I hid my Gram’s wedding ring……, will check old sock tupperware today…..
I was totally going to say that I flew to your house while you were on vacation and stole the darn thing because I was so jealous
Glad you found it!
Tupperware full of old socks, hmmm?
I spent parts of August and September looking in every nook and cranny of my home/garage/yard for my spare camera. The one that is beat up, but goes with me everywhere and I know how to operate its every function. Best I can figure, I set it on the trunk of my hubbie’s car and he drove off with it. Mabye some kid found it on our road, maybe it is in pieces somewhere. While I am totally bummed, I congratulate you on being organized.
Tupperware full of old socks, hmmm.
Been there…done that, only I hid jewelry.
OMG. I think it’s the onset of oldtimers disease. I’ve had it for years.
I still have a blouse in my closet that I absolutely do not remember buying. I think I was out with friends and must have had one of those liquid lunches. You know the kind. And then we went shopping. Oy.
Totally sounds like something I would do…
I am beginning to realize that my memory is not all it should be. I have actually started to learn that I need to give a lot more conscious thought to where I am putting things. When I remember to that is :crazy2:
Too funny! I do that all the time!
