This post will NOT involve use of the S* word because everyone else is mentioning it on their ljs. What I WILL mention is earrings.
Not an unusal thing to write about, surely? Well you see, I have a high lose rate of practically everything you can mis-place or forget or leave somewhere. It went through a phase of umbrellas last year (the reason we now have 5 in total these days). This year, much to my despair, it's earrings. However, it's earrings when I'm wearing them and always my right one.
Now, I have lots of pretty jewellery. Partly because I'm a magpie and partly because I've lots of people who know me well and help add to my collection. But all the favourites are rapidly becoming odd ones rather than pairs.
Anyway, I was sat shivering on the bus (after a 30 minute wait in S, utilising one of the many brollies) and went to adjust my hair. What was missing? Yet another earring. I sighed a miserable sigh and shrugged and decided from now on no more hook throughs, it's butterflies all the way! I settled into the journey and resigned myself to it taking forever. I got off the bus and carefully picked my way through the slush, switched off my MP3 player and put up my brollie again. There was a rather odd noise and it wasn't coming from any of my usual sources (there's a tendancy to hear me before you see me due to jingly bracelets and other things). Finally figuring out where the noise was coming from, I looked up into the workings of my brollie and THERE IT WAS. Dangling, as if it had always been there. The missing earring.
I still can't figure out how it go there. But at least I'm back up to two today. And whilst this isn't a par on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rainbowskye's usual chaotic and wonderful mix, it did make me 'Huh!'.
Hope you all get where you're going safely today.
*snow in case you're reading this some months later. Seriously, EVERYONE on my flist (well ok, most of them) is mentioning it today.

You know when you buy earrings they come with extremely tiny mini-tubes to help keep the earrings on display in the packaging? I actually keep these and use them to secure my hook-throughs when in my ears. Claire's Acessories also sell variants of butterflies which you could use to secure the earrings when in your ear, but they are a little big at times. Still work though. :)
