now you see it, now you don't

I want to believe in Ogopogo, the Loch Ness monster, and that aliens have visited earth. Perhaps it just follows, then, that I believe that the mystical forces behind the Bermuda Triangle have made our new apartment the new focus of their attention. Things have started to go missing around here, quite inexplicably. First I noticed that one of my favourite sandals was missing. I remember unpacking both of them when our shipment arrived, but there has been only one of them at the bottom of my closet for at least the last couple of months. Next, Chris's package of Aeroplan upgrade cerificates and Air Canada lounge passes vanished and it's doing an excellent job of evading detection. Third, one of Madeline's favourite outfits - her "crabby" shirt and the pair of beach pants she always wore with the shirt - has gone AWOL. I've looked every plausible place for them, and the best explanation I can come up with is that birds took them off of the clothesline. Or the Bermuda Triangle thing, of course.

If new blog posts stop appearing in the near future, well, maybe I will have vanished too ...

Is your maid trustworthy?? Sometimes they will take socks or shoes (only 1 of a pair) and then later say something like "this sock/shoe doesn't have a match, may I take it home?" Meanwhile of course they already have the match at home. Or another common thing is for them to bring small sample size empty bottles in their purse and take small amounts of shampoo ect each day. I really trust my maid, but I know many of my friends have had problems.
