It's Friday, and that means Company time! Company Girl Coffee, that is. I don't have much time today so I thought I would just post a funny story about something that happened to me last week. I tried to forget about it, but today's small thing about keys brought a smile to my face.
Last Friday I dropped off my kids to school, dropped off our dog at the vet, and went to do my usual weekly grocery shopping trip. It was nice to come home to both my husband and my brother-in-law to help carry in groceries for a change. (Usually no-one is home but me so I haul them all in myself.) When the last bag was in hand, my husband asked me if I had the keys. I told him yes, knowing for sure that I had put them on the dining room table with the first bags I brought in. You can see where this is going....
He locked the door to the van and we went inside to put away groceries. Later that afternoon, I needed to get something from the van. I went to my usual "key hook", but found no key. Uh oh. I began to retrace my steps, look in all my pockets, and the different places that the keys may have wandered off to. (I do have quite the mischievous toddler!) No keys. At this point, I'm starting to panic. I even went out to the van and peeked in the windows to see if I had mistakenly dropped them on the floor or something. Nope.
It was time to confess to my husband that I couldn't find the keys. So he and my brother-in-law joined in the search. We looked through every bag that had been thrown out and even in the fridge. We dug through the misc. keys in my junk drawer to see if we had a spare still. No luck. Finally, I had to make dinner so I reluctantly discontinued the search until after we ate.
Sometime during dinner I asked my brother-in-law what he had done with the bag that I gave him to take out to the freezer in our garage. "It's still in the freezer," he said. Huh. Away he went only to re-appear with some very cold keys!
Talk about brain freeze. Am I losing my mind, or just my keys? How did that happen? Oh well. At least they were found. Now I have an incredibly funny story to tell. Go figure.
Anyone else out there losing their mind...um...I mean, keys? I'd love to hear your story!
Have a great weekend!

Oh my goodness! I can't believe they were in the freezer! Keys are always "missing" around here...often at the bottom of my purse or wherever my man leaves them. I tossed 2 or 3 keys today but couldn't bring myself to throw any more...."just in case" they go to something important. Argh!
Thanks again for your input the other day....my mind is still working :)
That's funny.
I have a bad habit of tossing my wallet in haste into one of the bags of groceries as I'm leaving the checkout and forgetting it. I thought I'd lost my wallet once -- even called my credit card company. ...Yep. You guessed it: Found the wallet in the freezer with the still-in-the-plastic-bag frozen ground turkey.
I'm new to RachelAnne's companygirl thing... I've had fun today visiting some great blogs.
Have a great weekend!

We have a cabinet in the kitchen that is next to the door that leads out the the garage and the laundry room. We use it to store prescription meds in since it is far enough away from the stove to be safe. The other day I searched for twenty minutes for our salt and pepper shaker. I finally gave up. That afternoon when I went to get some allergy meds guess what I found? Yep. There it sat in all it's glory. Don't know how it got there since there are no food items even remotely close to the medicine cabinet.
But thanks for inviting us over for coffee, and thanks for sharing your story. It's nice to know I'm not alone.

How funny! That would be the last place I'd ever find them.
Keys are always an issue here. Since we live at the beach, our enclosed downstairs is not where we spend most of our time. We usually throw our keys on the steps on our way up. That way we can grab them on our way out of the door. One day I had to go to the city to take my oldest to the dentist, she had an abscessed tooth. I get everyone ready, they go downstairs, and I look for the keys...they aren't on the steps. I turn the house upside down looking for them. No keys.
My hubby calls from work to chat. I am freaking OUT! I tell him my problem and he gets real quite. After a long pause he says, "Ooops. I picked up your keys with mine and they are here at the store." He had to close the store and come home so that I could make it to the dentist on time.
LOL! Glad you found the keys. Mine are always walking off. One would think that they are attached to a lanyard they would be hard to misplace, but I manage anyway.
