172 Disney Earrings

172 Disney Earrings

Object: 3 pairs Micky Mouse earrings

Acquired: December 2000

From: Disney World

Notes: You can see I lost one of the earrings.  Not too long before we went to Disney, I'd lost one of a pair of earrings I'd worn non-stop for YEARS, and to make up for it I was looking for new earrings while we were there.  These are some of the ones I got. I can't sleep with them in, but I still like them years later, so I guess that's fine.  They are just a subtle bit of sparkle when I want it.

Also, one of the earrings was missing for several years, so I pulled it's partner out and stuck it with my other earrings that I loved even though their partners were gone.  When I first listed these, there were only five earrings, but then I knew where they were, so when I was going through the 'lost earring' compartment of my jewelry box, lo and behold! there was another one. I like to imagine it's like when a person gets amnesia and forgets their SO, and they tell the SO that the other person is dead, and that's just how life is for a few years until it's discovered that the amnesiac was actually working for the mob all along, but no one thought to tell the SO that it'd all been a lie.

And then everyone lives happily ever after.
