…fell out of a wormhole, no doubt…
Ha! See, as soon as you order a new one the old one surfaces. There should be a scientific law for that.
Same thing happened to me when I was about to replace a CD that had gone missing for years. I’d always ask my sister if she knew where my Wallflowers CD was and she’d always say she “didn’t know” where it was. Well, it turned out that when I was in high school she got mad at me and hid it…and then forgot where she hid it. Thus she wasn’t telling a lie when she’d say she “didn’t know” where it was. It turned up again when Dad was getting rid of the old car and found it under the driver’s side seat. I was just about to buy it all over again. The CD survived around six midwest summers/winters in there and played just fine. I also had a vintage unopened bottle of Snapple under my seat once too. Makes me want to go check under there right now…
@sweetbo….who is your little doggie friend? S/He is adorable!
That’s my little “sister” Sophie. A cairn terrier (like Toto from Oz). She’s my parent’s dog I visit, get hyper, and then leave for them to deal with. It is the best arrangement ever. All the dog I’ll ever want without all the doggie byproduct an owner gets. 😀 Cairns are very terrier so they are not for everyone and require a lot of training classes (the dog I grew up with was a sheltie-corgi mix so this was an adjustment), but she is a really happy dog as you can see. We call her a “cairn terrorist” or Sophinator usually.

Did Jane find any of OSG’s earrings where she found her pen? Did a certain “Dark Prince” have “custody” of said pen?
No.Alas. And no, I did it myself: Jane has this drawer full of pens, half of them red, which nobody uses; we have pink ones, green ones, sparkly ink, silver ink, and some aged so long they have no liquid ink. So when I spot a comfy black one I tend to grab it.
Well, I had an emergency, I needed a viable black ink pen, but I never take for granted that one pen will be enough, because half our pens are (see above) dead. So I saw two, I swiped both. It wasn’t until the odd one was the only pen in reach that I tried to make it write, and then discovered it was (oops) the missing Wacom pen. 🙂 We are so organized around here!
Maybe Jane’s idea (over on her blog) of painting it pink wouldn’t be such a bad idea: bright mail-polish stripes might take on the tail of the ‘handle’ without damaging the way it works? If she puts them beyond the part where you hold it it shouldn’t influence the grip.
Or else something like a bright band-aid on the tail?
Or something like those bright-coloured indiarubber figures with a hole in their bellies that kids can stick onto the ends of pencils?
Just something to mark both her computer-pens out clearly for writers in a hurry without their glasses on…
Sorry for the typo, I meant nail-polish.
We put bright pink and green polka dots on a remote that seemed to blend everywhere…bingo!…..no more lost remote
@sweetbo….thanks for the Sophie pics…she looks wonderful…. Adventures of Sophie?
