If you find my mind-keep it- I'll be back shortly

It had to happen at a crucial time of a very important project. In fact I was on the verge of completing said project when I ran into a brick-wall of a road block. I'm getting ahead of myself.


My favorite 23 year old daughter returned from her mission at the beginning of April. She, like I, like books.... a lot. I need to apologize to her future spouse as this is a gene she inherited from me. Fortunately, for said spouse, most of her genes come from her mom's side. I digress.
A decision was made to create a book case in the wall in her bedroom. This project was one undertaken with the intent of it being done with a reasonable amount of time. Key word being reasonable. I digress.
Today's issue is the lack of a caulk gun. What is it with caulk guns. I feel like a dog who has lost the location of the most recent bone buried in a yard. This evening's main activity was scouring the house for one caulk gun. I know that in the past year I have purchased at least three of these things. It seems as if once it is used it decides to disappear. Is it possible that they are made in Australia and are boomerang caulk guns? If I were to go to the local Do-It center would I their find my wondering caulk guns waiting for their next unwitting victim? Or is it possible that their is a fraternity of caulk guns out their and their hell week is putting up with my home improvement projects and once done they get to lounge in some poolside resort watching all the other caulk guns?
My daughter leaves in three weeks for school-our hope (and her mother's prayer) is that it will be done wayyyyyyyyy before that.
