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!

Book Review: The moments you were mine by LJ Evans

  Once again I was lucky enough to be on the ARC team for another book by LJ Evans. Since I have discovered LJ she has become one of my top 5 must read authors. LJ’s books are like Christmas Day. Or your birthday if you’re like me and obnoxiously celebrate both. :) You count down the days until it happens with great expectation and excitement and then it gets there and you almost don’t want it to be there because then it will be over and you have to wait another 364 days for the magic to come by again. Thankfully for all of us LJ writes more than one book a year so we are all #blessed in that aspect. I’m always super excited to get and read her books, but it’s a mixed feeling of not wanting to start reading it because then it will be over, and I can’t wait to read it and see what happens. Oh the struggle of being a book lover! I had some FEELINGS over Parker and Fallon. I felt like they were real people and at several points I wished they were real people so I could take t...

45/52

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...

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...
