I was almost writing this from the pokey..

Or is it hokey? NO, I think its pokey. ANYWAYS Point being I was almost arrested!

Backing up, the week before Christmas my co worker and I were both given gift cards by one of our co workers. Really nice! Well we found out that my card had money on it and hers did not. So she stuck it in our co workers mailbox with a note on it since she was on vacay.

Days later, Katie and I went shopping to find her a dress for New Years. While we were out I found the two dresses from Dress Barn that I've posted on here. Planning to wear the Blue and Brown one to Emily's wedding, I decided that I needed some boots, since it's stinking cold and snowy here.

So Katie and I headed to Walmart, got some boots and a wedding card to go with Emily's gift.

lalalallal all is well, i wear my boots and thank co worker for them again because they were fabulous with the snow!

She goes to Walmart THREE TIMES to try and figure out what happened.

Finally, she finds out that 25 mins after she purchased the two gift cards, one was redeemed. Problem is, she did not give them to us untill two hours later, because we are on staggered lunch and she wanted to give them to us at the same time.

So there is a big huge Walmart investigation into who redeemed this card. I will say that it did take her awhile to convince them that it wasn't one of us who redeemed it. *Shakes head*

So they decide the only way they are going to figure it out is to get out the security tapes and see who did it.

So they leave my co worker waiting for quite some time, untill they run up to her yelling "We got her !! We got her!! We know EXACTLY who she is!! And she was buying BOOTS!!!!!"

To which my lovely co worker replied, I KNOW SHE BOUGHT BOOTS SHE TOLD ME !! YOU GOT THE WRONG ONE!!!!!!

God Bless Her... I wouldn't make a particularly good crook, as I paid for the amount that was over the gift card with my DEBIT CARD!!

Sheesh

I did ask her if they told her how much stupid I looked because I lost my gift card in my pouch, and had to empty the whole thing untill I could find it. She's like, so THATS what took them so long! HA!

I just had to tell Katie that we were famous with the Walmart Police. I don't think I have ever in my 27 years (almost 28!) of life been scrutinized and watched on a security video. And frankly it kind of freaks me out. But Its still pretty funny!!

Oh and if you're wondering what happened to the other gift card that was redeemed 25 mins after she bought it? The Cashier pocketed it and gave my co worker and blank one. Proceeded to take a break and went and spent the gift card. Nice, huh? The creepy thing is that its the walmart I go to! I am only using cash there from now on. If they will do that, I wouldn't put anything else past them!

January Recap

  Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t

Frugal Friday- (Some) Tips and Tricks on how I get the most bang for my buck

(Shoutout to Ollies for the perfect Picture for this blog post) Remember when it was January and I said I was going to blog more this year? Well, it's now December, and I haven't blogged since January so clearly that goal went out the window.  BUT! I am here blogging today to share something I'm passionate about! And that is SAVING MONEY! And spending the least amount of money on things. Listen, the lower the price of something is, the more I like it.  I was waxing poetic about this subject to a friend on Marco Polo this week and decided that I felt the need to share it with the world. So, world, (or the three people who read my blog) You're Welcome. Sidenote: These are just some of the ways I stretch my dollars and get money back from purchases. Some of these have referral codes that if you join from them I get some sort of a reward, and some don't have codes, or I'm just not cool enough to know where to find them. Use the code, don't use the code, but plea
