Trashy

Oooooh, trashy....harsh word, no? I bet you saw that title and wondered to WHAT I would attribute such an offensive adjective. Well, sadly, it refers to a little task I had to do today in the ladies' bathroom at church during bible study.

I drank a leeeetle too much Vanilla Coke, headed to the ladies room, and after washing my hands, I dried them. As luck would have it (didn't I say before how my life's curse was dropping anything and everything that can possibly be dropped), my wedding ring came off with the paper towel I dried my hands with and before I could stop myself, the paper towel (ring included) was in the trash can.

So yours truly had to stop, take off the trash can lid, and proceed to empty its contents right down to the wet, nasty bottom where my ring had sunk. Gross.

Needless to say I had to wash my hands again.

And dry them with a little more caution.

ewwwwwee!!! Gross...But....

Man I just thought of that moment when I realized that I lost my engagement ring...I just felt that feeling for your when you said you threw it in the trash. I was sooo hoping it would end the way it did. At least you knew when it came off your finger!

Gross! I think you need your ring resized if it comes off so easily!! :) I once threw my cell phone away in Troy, Alabama and did not realize it until I was almost to Destin, Florida! We had the owner of the store go outside and look through the massive trash can for my bag that had my cell phone in it! He did it and found it! Well, I hope you went home and cleaned your ring!

Too funny... well, actually, not funny but you know what I mean. Two questions - did anyone come in the bathroom while you were digging through the trash? (because that would have been an amusing moment) And, is the Bible study at the church you've decided on as "home" or are you still looking?

Random response to your comment... No, it wasn't always Czech Chat - I changed it recently because we decided to make it more of a "family blog." Still may change the actual web address, but for now it's the same.

Elizabeth: So funny you ask that - b/c that was the dread I was feeling as I went through the trash. I was already drafting my explanation in case anyone came in! :) But, no, I was mercifully left alone for the excavating endeavor. :)
Yes, this study is at the church we think (or are really trying to feel settled with) will be home.

At least it didn't go down the drain like Heather Stone! She lost hers :(.
