Went looking for the wife's passport because I was buying airfare for a vacation in Brazil this September, couldn't find it. When the wife found it, her green card (which is always in the passport) wasn't there. I was beginning to second guess myself because I was the one who handled it last and made copies of it for the Removal of Conditions packet, "did I lose it?" came to mind... I started thinking it may have fallen in the envelope for RC packet, maybe I left it work, maybe (god forbid) I lost it at Staples or the Post office... But no, I knew the importance of the green card, no way would I have been so careless with it. So, where the hell was it?! Argh!

After turning the house upside down, we found it, right next to her passport. <_<

Better to clean the house than to pay $400.
