Bathroom sinks and diamond earrings...

This morning was one of those typical mornings of dragging myself out of bed 45 minutes before I'm supposed to be somewhere (a Dr. appt today) therefore forcing myself to rush in getting ready. Well my wonderful boyfriend gave me 1/2 carat diamond earrings for Christmas and obviously I wear them every day but I take them out at night because they bother me while I'm trying to sleep. Usually I put them back in in my bedroom when I get dressed for the day. Well, this morning I just grabbed them off the nightstand and took them into the bathroom with me. As I'm sure you have figured out by now, I dropped one of them and to my horror it slipped right down the drain. Of course I didn't have time to do any extensive searching but I did take the thingy out of the drain and pick thru the hair and whatnot that was clogged in the drain with my tweezers, but to no avail. So I'm really sad today, but my dad is coming over tomorrow morning to help me take the pipes apart and see if it is stuck in the trap or in the pipes somewhere...so keep your fingers crossed. I'll let you all know if we find anything.
