Oh, I am a genius!

So for those of you who don't know... I am going to a concert this Friday... My first real concert. I'm looking forward to it. We got tickets to see Cher, her second last tour. :P We ordered the tickets like within the 45 minutes it took to sell out. Both Mom and I sat there calling and checking online... It was insane! Then later that day we heard how fast they sold out. A couple days later, we get the tickets delivered by UPS. Mom told me to put them somewhere safe. I'm thinking safe? Right, cuz some burgler is going to raid our tiny apartment for our Cher tickets... But hey whatever.. I still have no idea what her idea of safe place is though. And she wanted me to keep it in the big ol' UPS envelope. That I don't get... I can probably keep track of it without the big ol' cardboard envelope. But whatever... Not knowing where to put it in my room, I just put it in the desk. Again, for those of you who haven't seen our place, we have one of those rolltop desks. The Desk

Anywho.... It went on unnoticed there off to the side in one of the few spare spots. One day I pulled 'em out to show Mom for some reason. Well, when I put them back. I guess I put them too close to the top. When ya open and closed it, that envelope just kept getting pushed further and further back until it was all the way shoved to that back compartment where only the rolling lid goes. Not cool. It took me about two hours to pull out two very yellow unused envelopes and one UPS envelope. How? I put first a pair of scissors in a bag with a draw string and then wrapped it with tape, sticky side out. When that stopped working, a ruler replaced the scissors. Shoving these back there, opening and closing the lid to smush the paper objects against the tape, then tugging on the draw string to pull out the bag, taped up object, and hopefully the tickets. My Tools

Thanks to my not paying attention, we nearly lost our very expensive Cher tickets... No refunds or replacements... On the other hand... Thanks to me and my creative ways, I got the tickets back out without having to tear apart a pretty nice desk... All the same, my hands hurt from trying to shove them in spaces they don't fit, the panic was not fun at all, and still I was told to place them some where safe AGAIN. Well, hopefully I did a better job this time.. And I am not gonna tell you all, cuz then you might send a burgler for my Cher tickets.
