That lovely little red gem, that holds my whole life...

So all of my posts require me to get the pictures off the camera and show you all the lovely things we've been up to and though I fully intend to do just that, tonight is not that night. My thumbs are over zealous in punching the space key at the moment so beware of that.
Ya know when you misplac e something and you don't remember exactly what happened to cause it to be lost in the first place? DUhhh why else would it be lost right?? I know! So I went to Safeway to purchase a bunch of nothing separately so I could have enough transactions to earn my great interest on my checking account. So about a 1/2 hour later I wander over to the computer to balance my account and what do you suppose I can't find....yup. My wallet. dun dun dun...I guess amidst all of my separate transactions I misplaced my whole life. Of course I checked the obvious places and then got online real quick just to see how much a thief might be able to spend in a 1/2 hour and was relieved to see nothing I hadn't spent myself. I began the ever so tedious process of call ing my banks and canceling cards (after I called the store to see if they had found it). I was just headed over to the neighbors to ask if they'd sit with my sleeping kids while I run down to the store and search for it myself. when... I ha d an epiphany..."lighting just struck my brine!" (really we call that inspiration from the H.G.) I went to the car (for the 3rd time) and open the passenger side door and what do you suppose I found? one guess is all you'll need..... yup, that little red gem tucked ever so nicely between the seat and the door. It had just slid off the seat, CAUSE APPARENTLY I drove 80 in the 2 blocks from Safeway to my HOUSE! 80!!!! I get back on the phone and tell the banks I'm retarded and I found my wallet, and my identity isn't stolen. And of course I still get new cards cause once you call those nifty little cards lost, their lost forever. Moral of the story is. Hold on to your wallet cause your whole life is in there and don't forget to pray. I wish keyboards had musical notes. Can I patent that? a musical note on your keyboard. It would be the new favorite key. Don't steal it I thought of it first. more to come. more to come.

This is my favorite kind of post - not because you lost your wallet but because the way you let your mind just type what it was thinking. I totally know the losing your whole life in one little moment feeling. If I had a dollar for every debit card and driver's license I've lost, I could buy the latest fashion handbag I'm sure! I'm glad you found your wallet AND got your great interest rate to boot! Love you Jennis!

I am SOOOOO glad you found it. I have been missing a set of keys for at least 2 weeks now! Ergh! I wish I had a bolt of lightning hit me, but I think Kaiya lost mine and she's not telling. Glad everything is ok!!!
