I HATE when this happens! I was cooking earlier today and was getting ready to put some of the food in the freezer after it cooled. I went to the pantry, opened the door, got out my brand-new box of Ziploc freezer bags, started walking back towards the stove and the phone rang. This is when things fuzzy. I went to answer the phone and must have put the box of freezer bags down somewhere, but I don’t remember where!! I’ve looked everywhere! They aren’t in any of the logical places, like the kitchen countertop or on the table. I looked in the bedroom on the dresser where the phone is–no freezer bags. I even looked in every other room of the house in case the bags magically teleported themselves to another location. No luck. I am seriously considering looking behind the dryer at this point, as this is the location of some missing socks and occasionally missing underwear and once even a missing toothbrush (although we blame the cat for that). Anyone have any thoughts as to where my missing freezer bags might have gone to? ---

Did you absentmindedly put them in the freezer? 😃 ---

On top of the fridge. ---

I once found a box of Tampons in the fridge. ---

They’re (the Ziploc freezer bags) probably sitting next to my red Christmas sweatshirt, which I distinctly remember getting out of the storage closet, because I wanted to wear it this week. Have no idea where I put it. Damn forget-spells hovering in the doorways… ---

I once found a tiny fridge in a giant box of Ziploc freezer bags. Have you checked the dryer? Sometimes I find those missing socks there. ---

_looks embarassed_ Well, I found them. They were in the kitchen pantry! Apparently, I put them back in there at some point while I was talking on the phone. Sheesh! Well, at least I didn’t put my shampoo in the freezer as I’ve done before (I was talking on the phone while absentmindedly putting up groceries). I am, however, perfectly capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time so you’d think I’d master the art of talking on the phone while doing something else. 😉
