For the second time in as many months, I lost the screw back to the platinum diamond earrings that Mike bought me for Valentine’s Day two years ago.

I woke up yesterday morning and immediately new I had lost it. I don’t know if I was fiddling with it in my sleep or what, but it vanished. Mike was crawling around the bedroom floor looking for it with a flashlight, and I even sorted through the dust in the vacuum cleaner, and it is nowhere to be found.

I put them back in the box they came in and stashed them in my underwear drawer, because at $80 a pop, I won’t be getting a new back any time soon.
