I went shopping at Bath & Body Works yesterday. I decided not to cart my big ass purse into the store, and I just stuck my wallet into my OU pull-over.
The purchase was made, and then I headed to pick up the LM's who were enjoying some Mimi/Papa time while I shopped. After I picked them up, we headed to the Toxic Hell (taco bell) drive thru. I couldn't find my wallet. I had to call DL to rescue me while I went into frenzy mode.
Just thinking about having to replace my driver's licence, CDIB card, and SS cards made me SICK. (Yup, I have since learned that your SS cards do not belong in your wallet and I have remediated that, don't you judge me.)
I went back to B&BW- no wallet. Looked through the parking lot- no wallet. Went to Mimi/Papa's- no wallet.
By the time I got home, a nice couple had brought my wallet home to me. They had to go through a lot of trouble, too, because my old address was on my driver's licence. The folks that bought our old house lead them to our new house.
Isn't that a story? Here is me- as happy as possible, saying Praise the Lord! And this is how I looked when I was running my errands yesterday. No make up and hair looking a mess. I don't wear make up always, and it's about time you knew it. That's a fake Coach wallet, too. Don't you judge me.
In other news, I'm looking forward to my NYR's. One of them is to add to my home and office decor. I found some toile that I must have for my office.
Here it is.

I am so glad you got your wallet back! Did it fall out of your hoodie or did you leave it at BBW?
Regardless, it's great to know Christmas angels are still around.
Lucky girl!! How sweet of that couple to go through so much trouble for you! I would have invited them in for dinner! Ha, ha!!
I am so jealous that you get to go out shopping ... we are effing snowed in!! Ugh!! It has been a long-ass week with another long one forcasted.
Glad you got your wallet back.
It's a Christmas miracle. YAY!
(I totally don't wear make-up every day.)
You are so lucky! How nice of the couple to bring your wallet back!! There is nothing worse than that panicked feeling when you think your wallet is lost! Unfortunately, I have that feeling way too often... I am a FLAKE! PS I heart the toile...
HOORAY for nice people! What a nice story!
No judging on fake Coach either. It is all good!
holly, you should write a letter to the editor of the ada news and tell him your story so you can thank these people since dl didn't get their names. it would be a nice change to read about instead of all of the negative crap they print. remember when your g.dad lost his wallet on a bus in vegas? it had $6,000 in it and he had to call to get us to wire him money to get home. a kind lady found it and mailed it to him with all the money in it. there are nice people in the world.
I don't know if this helps or not, but I read somewhere a long time ago that it's wise to xerox all the contents of your wallet (cards front and back) every few months and keep it in a safe place at home so if you ever lose your wallet, you know immediately what was in it and you have phone number/account numbers handy.
Glad you got it back, though. The whole process stinks if you have to cancel everything.
Merry Christmas.
That was sooo nice of them.. They must have HUGE Hearts!
Glad it all worked out for you!
I LOVE TOILE!
There are some nice folks down there, that's for sure. So glad someone brought you your wallet back.
Are we on for tomorrow? I think Slim is out of town, but I'm not sure- I'll check.
Yay for all the good peeps out there. You got really lucky. Love me some faux Coach!
you're so lucky, mine was taken, it was a real Coach, whiich had cost me $$$ and get this- I had my social security, and both my kids in it!!!!! We had just moved and I was afraid I would misplace them in the move :(
That's one of the grand things about smalltown Aduh! What great people.
Oh, the no makeup is a daily for me. I know I scare people and I'm proud to admit that I perfect the homely look.
What a nice story! It is hard to believe that nice people really do exist still!
Does Mimi and Papa have any openings in their schedule for one cute and hellacious almost 17 month old? I just want to steam clean mah carpets ALL DAY. Without a shadow. :)
I'm so glad they returned your fake wallet. I wish there were more nice, honest people in this world. And I think that all women should be banned from wearing make-up! The boys don't have to wear it so why should we?? (But really..BEING HONEST HERE...I can't live without it) Only the occasional lazy Saturday. *darn it*
Totally off topic Haulee, but do you own an equinox? Do you like it? We're looking at new cars and it's on the top of my list. Any pros or cons??

That is SO sweet, sometimes people are so amazing! So glad you got your wallet back, that's the worst. Love that toile!
I'm hoping I can post a pic to this, but if not, can I have your email address? I have the the photo depicting what *really* happens when you stick a baby in a stocking. I'd love to share it with you!
