Lost Keys: $350 and 150 minutes

I’ve had my comeuppance.  Will it help?  I don’t know.  I’ve had comeuppances before.

But $350 and 150 minutes (with two year old in full action at the dealership) is a lot to pay for losing your key.  If trauma and sacrifice can etch the memory, this should do it.

I know what I have to do now: always put the key in the same place.  Can I do it?  I’m a bit frightened because always returning the key to the same spot was my plan before.  You know, when I lost the keys. And when I lost them again.  And again.  I feel like my plan needs more detail somehow.  But what detail is there other than “return key to spot”?

    Have you considered one of those beeper thingies, like this? http://www.keyringer.com/ It seems like it would come in pretty handy.

    That’s a great idea, Robin. Thanks for the link. At first I thought I didn’t want to spend $30 on something like that, but considering that it’s less than 10% of what I had to pay to replace the keys it could turn out to be a bargain!

    I think I’d also consider one of those nifty spring-action thingys that people keep their key cards on at work. Wake up, get dressed, attach to belt and away you go! Or even a lanyard around your neck.

    Perhaps the problem is not with the plan but with the execution of the plan!

    Always putting them in the same place used to work for me (before becoming a parent and far less organized … )
