Girls Retreat!

Well this last weekend was lots of fun. Our youth interns planned a girls retreat for middle school and it was a lot of fun. The theme for the weekend was unmasked so we made plastic masks. They weren't intended to be scary but they were kinda creepy. Well, I broke my rules for getting ready to go somewhere (in this case the retreat). I spent about two and a half hours total getting ready, yikes! It wouldn't have taken quite so long except we were supposed to dress for a fancy dinner and when I was fixing my hair I noticed the there was a steady stream of blood running down my right thumb. Apparently I had re-opened a fairly deep cut that I managed to give myself while opening a box about two weeks ago (but thats another story). So I had to stop and take another ten minutes to clean and bandage my wound. On top of that I was on the way when I realized that I had forgotten to bring shoes! We turned the car around and I jumped out, grabbed the closest pair and raced back to the car. Well, of course being the un-organized person I am, after dinner when I went to put away the necklace I had worn I realized that I couldn't find the bag I normally keep it in. No biggie. Wait, that bag is also the bag I keep my expensive locket in. Great. I looked high and low... and couldn't find it. I had the leaders ask everyone to keep an eye out for it and continued the search. No luck. I was thinking to myself that I really didn't want to tell mom that I had lost said expensive locket but I knew I had to so when she got there I told her the bad news. On the way home I happened to look down in between the seats and what should I see but the expensive locket in it's bag. If only I had closed the pocket the bag was in.
