Have you ever searched and searched for something in all the wrong places only to...

[flaps]

all of the sudden realize what you were looking for was right before your eyes and you just weren't seeing it?

And if so, do you wonder how often you overlooked what should have been more obvious?


more questions added a few posts down

YUP! And YUP!

Happens to me all the time. Too often.. But...I don't "realize" it was there right before my eyes. It comes out of hiding and APPEARS there right before my eyes...

[flaps]

another question - have you ever found what you were looking for only to

a) have found it too late
b) or to then lose it again

 

[onecoolmama]

Yes to both again!

This happens to me all the time! I am thinking there are little gnomes in my house that like to hide things and then laugh while watching me go nuts looking for it! Then laugh harder when they put it back right where I had left it!

And, yes, I have found them too late!

Isn't that called Serendipity?

I think I may have really goofed up my lines and I feel simply aooful.

Hasn't Jolie made amends, monkeyboy?

No monkeyboy, I'd say more like:

Can't see the Sherwood Forest for the trees.

Forget Sherwood Forest!

I'm not Jolie and I know nothing of making amends to monkeyboy.

But I was of the impression that it only takes one side.

Kinda a "looking in the mirror" kinda thing. If that makes any sense.

Funny thing, though, when you do finally find it.......it's always in the last place you look

Jolie is monkeyboy, and monkeyboy is Jolie?

You tell the truth.

I'd take that ex-parrot back the shop if I were you. Perhaps you might exchange it for a slug... Of course, said slug wouldn't talk so I guess it wouldn't exactly be a replacement then would it?
