OMG Loulabelle! I CAN imagine that.........but not specifically.....and I may hit "submit reply" to this when I type it.....and I may not. Time will tell!

OMG....what won't I reveal at this point? OK.......picture this....

I am on a trip with my boyfriend. "THE" trip....*wink*.....that we'd been waiting for. Alright........it was only our 4th date, but it was "THE" date! We traveled all day and then settled for a night at a mutually agreed stopping point. Ahhhhh.....lovemaking with abandon.......then we decided we needed sleep and I partially unpacked. I needed my jammies (Shut up! Yes I have to sleep with "something" on) and I needed my teddy.

*waits for the gasps and laughter to stop*

OK......sooooooooo.........sleep, sleep, sleep.........snore, snore, snore......and up and showered and out and on the road again to our destination. Three quarters of the way to our final destination.........I suddenly remembered I didn't remember if I had repacked my teddy. Yes! A friggin stuffed animal.......alright?

Screech! I made him stop at the very next rest stop.......I had to call the motel and find teddy, didn't I? I called......they checked.....snicker, snicker,......with the maid. Yes, she found teddy.....she'd mail him to my home. We'd continue on.......right?

Well....I tried and tried to forget and make the best of it. We drove 4 more miles and I started crying. He stopped.......said he understood.......and we drove back........67 miles back......to the motel. Screech! I leaped from the car and ran into the lobby....hoping upon hope that they hadn't sent the mail off yet.

OMGGGGGGGG! Teddy was in a box and couldn't breathe! More snickers.......from them.......not me.......and I was clawing at the box like a crazed mother bear protecting her cub. Ahhhhhhhhhh.........got him back. Got back in the car.....and off we went again........doing double time because of a stuffed animal (I loved that bear!).

So........to answer your question? Yep! If something meant that much to me..........I'd call, I'd go back, I'd scratch and claw the box open in the middle of a packed lobby..............Who cares? I'd probably never see these people again.........and they would be glad of that I am sure!

LOL hun! Sorry for your loss............gimme the number of the hotel and I'll get that magnificent vibe back in your life!
