The Slob BlogBecause slobs need love too!

For your average slob, putting something in a “safe place” is the absolute worst place to put something you’d ever like to see again.  You’d be much better off putting important items in terribly thought out places where you can’t possibly miss them.  That said, for slobs, no place is foolproof, and it’s best to just start getting used to the idea of losing things.  The upside is that many of these things will turn up again someday when you least expect it.  Losing things is good for us…it helps remind us that things are not life, they’re just stuff (to quote American Beauty).  And, if you’re not buying that crap, remember that anything lost becomes new again the moment you find it.  So think of losing things, not as a loss, but rather as the gaining of lots of new and exciting surprises. (Which you may have already paid to replace*)
