The Watch Curse
I have a strange little curse. I lose watches. All the time. I believe I’m on my fifth watch in two years. I lost two watches last year within a six month period. Trust me when I say I will never be buying a Rolex.
My husband can’t understand why I lose so many of them. I’m convinced the children took the last two and threw them in the garbage, since the last place I had them was on their bathroom sink while washing their hair. It’s a subtle form of revenge really. When I don’t allow them to eat doughnuts and candy for dinner, the watch goes missing.
The most recent addition to the Watch Disaster Collection was a Target bargain special. $19.95 for a fake gold watch complete with cubic zirconia bling bling. It was actually rather pretty. I first lost it in the YMCA when it fell off my wrist in the parking lot (stupid clasp) and they thought it was real gold and diamonds. When I called about it, they had it in their safe. 
Yesterday, I was taking out the trash and it fell off again. I didn’t notice it until I was at work. After I got home, my husband showed me the watch, which he’d found at the bottom of our driveway. The face was cracked and it looked like I’d run over it (I probably did). He just shook his head at me. Amazingly, it still works. I will likely go back to Target and buy an identical replacement. 
What about you? Is there anything you always seem to lose or destroy?

It sounds like a lovely watch though.

I lost my mind a little while ago. Haven’t found it yet. Don’t miss it much though.

My husband is the one who loses things. I can’t count how many times he’s misplaced his cell phone and wallet.

Michelle - sounds like someone is trying to tell you something with these lost watches!
I’m always misplacing my keys. It’s horrible. I end up finding them, but it’s this huge circus because ususally we’re running out the door to get the kids somewhere and can’t be late. I’ve spent many a quarters and now dollars(as they get older) to get everyone looking for them. I’m trying to always keep them in my purse, but somehow they find their way out!

Oh I’m horrible with jewelry. And I remember everything that I lost. A gold necklace lost in Las Vegas, a gold watch somewhere in a grocery store, a diamond earring down the drain, another diamond earring outside, and the worst was my diamond from my engagement ring after 25 years of marriage while cleaning leaves on our hill. My husband replaced that one with a bigger diamond in that case
I just recently lost a gold pinky ring and since it happened the day before our anniversary my husband got me a new one 
And then for the first time I actually found my original ring.

LOLOL…you must have a small wrist or it’s that magnetic thing some people have in their system and it’s like putting two polars together and they just jump off of you:lol:

Jeanne–hugs on the lost jewelry! Yikes.
Melissa–LOL. I think it means I need to WATCH my time better. ::groan::
