Flylady Saved My Marriage

...but not the way you think. I've been flying (lets just pretend I mean levitation, because that's a lot more fun) since just before Christmas. This last week I finally got my routines completely in place and I've been cruising along with my five minute room rescues and zone work and decluttering. The house almost looks like actual people live here. Before, It looked more like the place was inhabited by adolescent Sasquatch.

Anyway, I am notorious for losing things. I lost my digital camera once for well over six months before I found it in the place I had put it to keep Jasmine from playing with it without permission. But the worst thing I ever lost was my watch, wedding ring, and the ring Andy bought me when I was baptized. I would take my rings off and put them on my watchband (the watch was also a gift from my adorable and hopefully forgiving husband(let me just point out, in my defense, that he once lost his wedding ring too. True it was only for a couple of months and not two years, but still...)) and hang it on a special nail (which I didn't put there but seemed handy for the purpose) on a kitchen cabinet. For almost two years now the whole thing (well, except the nail, which was still there) has been missing. I've torn apart my bed looking all around the waterbed mattress. I've gone through the garbage. I've looked in couch cushions and under furniture. I had no idea where it was but, as is typical for me, I pretended nothing was wrong and hoped it would turn up. Then, today, I found it.

Where? How? I found it while decluttering the small coffee can I keep my pens and pencils in. I was going through to see which pens worked and which ones should be tossed when, at the bottom of the coffee can I found my watch, which needs a new battery now for some reason. I've actually found a lot of missing things lately thanks to my new flying routines. Thank you Flylady!
