I was not surprised at all to see the gold band at the bottom of my clothes dryer after I removed the load of jeans this morning.  I have found many, many odd things in there including, but not limited to, Lego pieces, candy wrappers, lip gloss, iPods, ink pens, loose change, fourteen crisp dollar bills, and a live mouse.  Well, okay, the mouse was actually in the washing machine and was not live long since Big D decided to drown it on the spot.  Gross, no?

So the sight of the ring did not ruffle me.

Big D’s wedding band, was my first thought.

But on further inspection this was not Big D’s ring.  This was not my ring.

Oh my goodness….it was the ring of power!  The one ring to rule them all!  My precious!

I found it, so it’s mine.  My precious….

You can just call me Ajaxgorn.  Or Frodo Borax.  Or Legowoolite.

Or Crazy Woman Who Finds Weird Things in Her Laundry…….your choice.
