Found!

A couple years ago a dinner plate dissappeared. It has bothered me ever since. How can you lose a dinner plate? A theaory I had was that my dad (who was visiting at the time of the disappearance) had broken the plate and not bothered to tell me about it, but that didn't sound like him. He's broken dishes before when I wasn't around and told me about it afterwards. The other theory was that somehow it was thrown in the trash and no one noticed it. I think a dinner plate would be pretty noticeable in the trash though.

For the first time in years we actually got down our special dishes for Easter. For the past several years we have been at the in laws for every feast and just used regular dishes for our "after holiday" feast. I asked Aaron to put the dishes away for me, since they are heavy and go in the cabinet above the fridge. While putting away, he found the missing dinner plate!!! That's great since one was broken recently and we were down to 6 dinner plates. Now we have 7.

In other news, tomorrow is downsizing day at Stampin' Up. No one knows who will be cut and who will stay. The employees have been wrapping up their business, making medical claims, clearing out their desks, their email accounts, and finding company owned items at home. Aaron has collected his company equipment to turn in tomorrow if necessary. He is one of two database administrators. They really need both, but conceiviably they could go down to one. Aaron is favored because he also works on servers, has been the virtual machine guy, and can do all kinds of other computer stuff too. The other guy is strictly a dba. The other guy, however has about 14 years seniority over Aaron. We will all have to wait and see. I don't want him to lose his job!!!
