I found my black Sharpie!

What?  You didn't know it was missing?  Well, it was.  And it was a problem, let me tell you.  You see, I have a skinny black Sharpie marker that I use when writing out tags for Christmas presents.  However, on Sunday afternoon when I decided to tackle wrapping the pile of presents in the would-be nursery, I could not find my marker anywhere.  It was NOT in it's usual place--the pen cup--on top of my computer desk (I looked carefully through them all twice).  It wasn't placed on the desk.  It wasn't in J's pen cup, either.  I couldn't find it ANYWHERE.  So, I was forced to use a fat red one instead.

Which wasn't a good idea.  Especially on the little tags.  It was just too thick to write "Uncle J...... and Aunt Angie" on the From slot for the nieces and nephew (and I wrapped their gifts first).  I found a black pen and crossed my fingers that it would not smear.  It did a pretty good job, but it still wasn't my Sharpie.

Last night, as we were getting ready for bed and J was giving me my shot, I suddenly had a brainstorm.  I actually shouted, "I know where my Sharpie is!  It's in the bathroom cabinet!"  And I ran off to retrieve it.  Yep, there it was.  Right next to my pregnancy tests.  I remembered putting it in there last March when I was testing every day or two to watch the line get darker and needed to mark the date on the test.

So, I put it back where I found it for now.   At least I know where it is if I need it for gift wrapping.  Don't judge me...doesn't every infertile keep a Sharpie in the bathroom (for precisely the same reason)?
