Missing: One Mini-Pad

I was getting undressed this morning to have a shower and realized my mini-pad was missing. I am never without a mini-pad. Forget diamonds – when a gal gets to a certain age it's a mini-pad that's your best friend. That and vodka. 

I thought maybe it got dislodged and was stuck to the inside of my pajamas but I turned them inside out and it wasn't there. 

Maybe, I thought, it was stuck to the back of my thigh. I felt up my own leg (cheap thrill) and no, it wasn't there. Nor was it on my back or in my hair. I honestly don't know how it would travel from my underwear to my hair, but you never know. 

I even checked the bed and for one horrible moment imagined Dave going to work with a used mini-pad wrapped around the back of his neck. So I phoned him, and thank gawd, no mini-pad. That would have gone over well with a garage full of mechanics. We would have had to move. Probably to Outer Siberia. Just so we wouldn't hear the laughing.

I have no geezly idea where this stupid mini-pad is. With my luck it'll show up at the most inopportune time. Like tonight. We're having the neighbours over for dinner and I have visions of the dog trotting out of the bathroom with it plastered to her head.

  2. On occasion I find one in the dryer. How could that be?

    I remember a wonderful scene involving a friend, among a buncha women staying overnight in the same motel room. She discovered she'd packed no panties. Furious scrabbling in her purse and she came up with one pantie liner. Saved. Although it was a two night stay, tomorrow would be inside out and the last day the pantie liner. And no, she would not go buy a pair of panties on Long Island, forchrissake.

  3. Yeah me too... they're all dried up in a smooth little ball... it's worse when you find them all sodden and soaked in the washing machine. Ugh.

    Your story about your friend cracked me up!

  4. When I was a bout 4, I got a box of my mom's tampons and played "dynamite" with them all over the front lawn.

    2. You know, I don't really remember. She only ever talked about how embarrassed she was to come home and find the yard littered with tampons.

  9. One of life's little mysteries. Your mention of your dog scared me though. A friend was walking to the local shops with her dog. Most people she passed smiled. Some looked disgusted. She turned around to see Chester trotting happily behind her - chewing on her knickers - which he had lifted from the laundry basket as they left.

  10. I read this aloud to friends and it took me ten minutes to do so since I was laughing too hard to breathe. If you ever assemble your blog posts into a book I'll buy a copy, for sure! (ah... do tell us when it surfaces. Perhaps as a bookmark? Were you reading in bed?)
