The Strangest Thing

I went to my closet today to grab my black boots to wear with my outfit.  But they were not there.  This is the first time that I went looking for my black boots, my favorite black boots, since last season.  And I have NO FREAKIN' CLUE where they could be.  Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I am very consistent with putting my boots back in my closet and my closet is extremely organized.  I nearly know where everything is...except for said boots.  It is the strangest thing.

I have tried to remember the last time I wore them.  Sometime at the end of winter, which would've been early this year.  I have looked for photographic evidence of wearing them.  I know I didn't lend them to anyone because there is no one here that I would lend them to.  I can't possibly figure out where I could've left them.  After all, it's kind of hard to leave LARGE BLACK BOOTS somewhere and not remember that you left them, right?  What's even harder is trying to remember where you may have left something months ago.  That, my friends, is nearly impossible.

Could they have been stolen?  Did I put them somewhere inconspicuous in the house?  Did I really leave them somewhere?  Is Brian hiding them from me?  I am so confused.

I have scoured my oh-so-tidy closet.  I have searched our coat closet downstairs, and those of you who know our house know that our coat closet is not a huge closet.  I have looked under the bed, in commonly used bags that I've packed, I've asked Brian if he knows where they are - all to know avail.

At this point, my favorite black boots are gone, and I have no explanation as to why.  I feel like I am losing it and am really beginning to question if I really am that consistent and organized...

...This is the last photo that I can find that shows me wearing them:
