CRS is an expression my sister uses all the time! Have not heard anyone else ever use it! LOVE IT! St. Anthony St Anthony, Please come around. Something is lost, and must be found. CRS - Can't Remember Something/Sh*t ~ your choice or feelings at the time. ;-) |

Now this weekend, a quilting buddy stops by and in our visit, I mentioned the fabric and go to get it to show her and get her opinion as to whether or not it would work. HMMMMM not in closet! Did I move it to my sewing room? CRS! All weekend I'm trying to remember. SEARCH closet, SEARCH sewing room, multiple times! . . . wander through house trying to find it. Where is it? Now I know there must be a quilters BLACK-HOLE! The same quilting buddy had a pattern that she pattern that she had purchased years ago- disappear into that hole. And now my bag of fabric. :?: Is there a BLACK-HOLE at your house? I keep yelling at it to give them all back- and like the commercial- "and I want it now!" Alas, hasn't worked yet. |
I am always looking for something......sometimes by the time I find it, I forgot what I wanted to do with it.....so life goes on.

My best friend uses the "crs" on me lots! LOL...the other day as i was going thru my paper receipts, junk mail, etc....found a $5 bill fold up inside a store receipt :oops: at least it was a good find! LOL but im still looking for that darn 2 yd of fleece brought recently! Yep, gotta be a black hole here, probably will fall in it myself if i don't watch my steps! LOL

I don't have a black hole. I have a ghost. I "lost" my 1"X6" ruler from my upstairs sewing room. It re-appeared months later in the silverware drawer in my downstairs kitchen which I am in every single day. I have no kids, no pets, and my partner avoids my sewing room like the plague. It's the ghost. The same one that turns on lights downstairs when I am alone in the house. It's the ghost.

Yip lose things all the time, but they always turn up in a day or two except one thing. I have a regular book with quilting designs, nothing out of the ordinary except it is a odd size wider than it's long. I swear I have lost that book more times, I find it then it disappears for a month or two. I think there is a gremlin that really likes my book.

LOL - you know, someday, a scientist will find that the dark matter in space is filled to overflow with all the things everyone over the last thousand yrs has lost never to find again! sharet

So frustrating!!! I feel your pain...I'm always saying that I spend more time looking for something than I spend being productive. So afraid "Old Age" has crept up on me. hehe
