Yep, I actually did this.  Since the beginning 
of July, we have been remodelling the entire 
second floor of my house, which means that my 
entire room has been in boxes and I was sleeping 
in the living room on the sofa bed for three 
weeks while new paint and carpet was being put 
in.  

So, one day I just get a hankering to look at my 
cels, and I could not find my one and only cel 
book anywhere.  I have only 10 cels, so they 
were all in this book.  And these aren't cheap 
cels.  So I looked around for it, and couldn't 
find it.  I figured I had brought it downstairs 
with my computer and everything else that hadn't 
been put in boxes, because the boxes were going 
into an attic that gets VERY HOT in the summer 
and it wouldn't be too smart to stick my cel 
book in that environment for about a month.  So 
then I started to think "well, I know its not 
good to put it in the heat and I wouldn't have 
done that, but did I anyway?"  After scouring my 
desk and every room on the first floor, and 
eventually my entire attic, opening at least a 
dozen boxes of books and things, I couldn't find 
it.

I eventually got really paniced and thought for 
a moment that maybe the carpet people had stolen 
it. ^_^ I was about on the verge of tears when I 
go back into the room downstairs will my comp. 
et all and find it under a stack of posters that 
I had taken off my walls.  So I had basically 
walked by it every day since we had started 
remodelling.  I gave it a big hug when I found 
it. ;)

So I guess the lesson of the story is, even if 
you are putting your cels in a safe place that 
you will remember, you can and will forget about 
them.
