Night Night, Sleep Tight, Don't Let the Necklace Bite!

Last night I learned the hard way not to wear my favorite beaded necklace to bed.... and actually, after what happened I won't be able to.

I was exhausted yesterday and fairly early into the evening went upstairs and collapsed on my bed. I was fully dressed with my necklace around my neck. My favorite necklace, which was really quite simple.... two strands of tiny beads in black, white, tan, and brown on wire. The necklace has a chain in the back that allows me to vary the length. I love this necklace because it matches my work clothes and a lot of my wardrobe, so I can wear it all day, almost everyday! It's really quite cute, the perfect Wendy necklace, because it was nickle-free, and it looked really stylish.

Occasionally, the closure side of the necklace ends up in front, and the extra chain dangles down. Last night I was apparently somewhere between awake and asleep when I felt something "crawling" on my neck. I've seen enough spiders in our home to know that they could end up in bed with me. The crawling feeling felt like a beetle or something more threatening... sure enough I felt my neck and there it was, so naturally I grabbed it and pulled it off only to be showered in tiny little beads. They were even in my bra!

So... moral of the story for me at least is not to wear jewelry to bed. I'm going to miss that necklace! Seriously, but at the same time I'm thanking God for a sense of humor. I felt sad just for a couple seconds, but then couldn't help but laugh.
