i'm suppose to be the "finder", not the "loser"!!!

it seems like whenever someone is looking for something, either at home or at work, they come to me; many times its because its something that i had worked on or was involved with, or as is the case at work, i've been here longer than some other folks. and so, when i 'lost' my purse this past weekend, i was and still am, in SHOCK! first of all, the last time i remembering seeing it, it was with me in my apartment and i didn't go anywhere, so i couldn't have left it some place else....my car keys, work keys, apartment and mailbox keys were in there; my lipstick, inhaler for my asthma, drivers license, health flex card, work ID, and numerous pieces of paper - receipts, bills, phone numbers, notes to "self" - all GONE! how, how could this happen? my apartment is not that big!! i even spent 30 minutes in the dumpster in the slim chance that somehow it was accidentally thrown in the trash, but NOTHING. the only thing i can think of is that perhaps in the hectic rush to help my sister get her car loaded, my purse somehow got left out on the sidewalk or the parking lot and got picked up....somewhere, someone is $20 richer....
