I’m a Loser
It’s true.
I lose stuff all.of.the.time!
In my defense, it is not usually my fault things disappear. Seriously. Can I help it if someone digs through my jacket takes my cell phone and MP3 player?
Is it my fault if a white gold and diamond bracelet (the first present Peppe ever gave me) fell off my arm?
Am I to blame if I forget my college class ring and a brand new emerald solitaire in the bathroom at the lake and someone took them? Ok. Maybe I am to blame for that one!
The irony is, I am actually a very organized gal. I “got it together,” guys. I just lose jewelry.
My latest victim?
The white gold Calvin Klein watch Peppe bought me for my birthday the first year we were together. He gave it to me in The City of Lights, the city where we met, the city we love.
I have NO idea where this watch went, as it obviously sprouted legs and walked away, because I just can’t find it!
Last week, Peppe came home from errand-running and told me there was something wrong in our bedroom. Suspiciously, I walked upstairs and found this.
I had an idea as to what was in the box, but I hurriedly opened it anyway.
Yep. The man’s a keeper!
And, with any luck. So, is this new watch …

You definately got a keeper. I never get presents from my Italian, nor does anybody else I hope!

Very cute, and I can’t believe Saint Anthony didn’t hook you up….must be busy or something

I used to be the biggest “loser” up until the age of 20. I was famous for losing mittens but one year I actually lost a pair of winter boots on the bus.
Hey, does Peppe have a brother? Whenever my husband goes off on business trips he always gives me gifts… of food. Well, at least I’ll never go hungry with him!

Hello, you would want to not lose that man or that present.
That is so sweet! I think it’s so nice to give and receive gifts even when it’s not a birthday, holiday, anniversary etc.

he IS a keeper
And so is that watch

Your man sounds so sweet and you are very lucky. Beautiful watch too - let’s hope it doesn’t grow legs like the last one.

So sweet of Peppe! Enjoy, and take special care, of that gift!

Quite the *bling* you got there Cherie. Yeah, he is a keeper

That watch is GORGEOUS…and so is Peppe!
I feel your pain girlfriend as I too have a problem with keeping cellphones, jewlery and watches.

Nice bling!!

Hey loser (i feel so mean writing that!), sorry I don’t have your watch but you also left some little samples of perfume behind here in Messina. Or was that not such a subtle hint??

A definite keeper! And losing my wedding ring on a weekly basis makes me a big loser as well….
April 28th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
I think I’ll keep him, figcharlie! He is pretty good!
Michelle, I know … I waited and waited!
Linda, I am 32, I am not sure I will grow out of it! And, food is always good in my book!
I agree, Arlene. I actually said, “Whats the occasion?” He said, “Do I need a reason to buy my wife a gift?” ahhh
Erin - I am hoping to keep them BOTH for a long time!!
LOL, Leanne! That is my expression to justify everthing I lose!!
Thanks, G!
Isn’t it bling, MM? He told them I would like that!
Oh no, Jan!! Those are my problem areas, too! We need to start a club! And, thanks for the compliments!
Why, thank you, Louise!
April 28th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
HA! Sorry, Vanessa!!! LOL You and Sofia can keep them.
I remember that, Amber. I am so scared of losing my wedding ring.
April 28th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
So Cherrye, do you buy Pep jewelry? How about bling…gold chains, diamond ear rings
April 28th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
Aw, he is so sweet!!! What an absolutely gorgeous watch! Wow.
April 28th, 2008 at 5:18 pm
I lose things all the time too. This watch is beautiful though, maybe a good replacement.
April 28th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
I sometimes (seem) to lose things as well. Lucky for me, even months (in some cases, years) after they seem to be lost, they tend to show up again.
And let me just say, that watch is beautiful!
April 29th, 2008 at 12:43 am
You have definitely lost some big item stuff. Ouch!
Awesome, gorgeous watch! What a sweet man you have! Mine would have been busy yelling at me for losing such expensive items. lol
April 29th, 2008 at 9:27 am
Yea, J! Your comment made it through. And, uh no. I can’t afford the WATCHES he likes! lol
Thanks, Erin. I think he did a good job, too.
PP - I am hoping my other one shows up, so I can have TWO cute watches!
Thanks, LA Gal. I hope I am as lucky as you and the old watch shows up.
I do lose nice things, Rhea. I am lucky he never gets mad … at least not yet!
April 29th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
I want someone like that…who leaves me little presents and big presents…any presents will do.
Lucky girl!

Thoughtful man and I love that sparkler. Is it the same or similar to the one you lost?
Whatcha thinking?
