Yes, I saved myself $13 when I found the back to my earring last week.
And yesterday I lost $12, plus tax, when a four-pack of deodorant fell off the roof of my car onto a four-lane road. Don't ask.
Yup, I am just lucky that way.
The ironic thing, I was going to return the deodorant because I accidentally bought the $12 four-pack instead of the $7 four-pack.
So I guess now I am technically out $19.
Plus tax.
Yay me.
Opps, I did it again.
I took my earrings off as I was sitting at my computer and I dropped the back.
The last time, I never found it and it cost me $13 to order a new back. Why you ask? Because my stupid earrings are a screw back and the several jewelers I have been to do not carry the size I need. Yes, I know most jewelery stores carry, oh about 300 earring backs. I am just lucky that way.
And after about 20 minutes of crawling around under my desk with a flashlight, hubby and I gave up looking.
But you know how they say necessity is the motherhood of invention. Well have I got an invention for you.
Ok, not so much of an invention as it is an idea, but I am still proud of myself.
I took a piece of screen I found in the garage - don't ask, I didn't. I taped it over the vacuum hose and I vacuumed away.
Of course I had to stop several times to clean out all the dust and other little crap that was under my desk. But I found it!
So now my earrings are back securely in my ears, the rug underneath my desk is clean and I still have $13 in my wallet. All is good in the world.
