Good Things About Getting Your Purse Stolen

1. You get to get a new picture on your driver license to replace the previous nasty one that made you look 10 pounds heavier... oh wait I WAS 10 pounds heavier. (almost)

2. Get to bust out (and of course eventually BUY) different purses. I WAS kind of stagnating (is that a word) with my sweet purse from California. But I happen to have seen it in our amazing mall here. That's it in the bag... sniff sniff.

3. You get to empty your wallet of all those useless cards... I really can't even think of all the cards I had in there... memberships, blood type, Buckle rewards... tons of them. Wallet now purged! check!

4. Get to buy a new camera! I've been toying with wanting a new cool one like my sisters (which include my awesome sisters-in-law) have. But I have this odd picture taking phobia... don't know where it came from, but I tend to feel like a total dork whipping out my camera randomly. Odd because I don't think anything of it when other people do... in fact I envy them because they're documenting their life better than me. Tangent sorry!

5. Get to get sweet new checks... I ordered WSU checks... I'm super excited!!!

6. I got to learn how to replace doorknobs... they got my keys + license = they know where I live and have my keys... ugh. New locks hahah!!! P.S. I'm faster at putting them in than Paul... shhhhh don't tell him. And he'll say that he had a harder door to work on... whatever!

So all in all... yes my purse WAS stolen. I was DUMB and left in under the table in my work (grocery store) public eating area/cafeteria and went back to work for 4 hours. Unfortunately there are crappy people that AREN'T NICE or HONEST or people their mommy's should be PROUD of. ;) So we changed the locks, cancelled the cards, closed accounts... all while we're in the middle of trying to buy a house... goodie! No worries, they didn't get ANY cash, didn't use my cards. Good times!

Hilary said...

wow, Ryan comments on your blog? Lucky!

Sorry about the bad parts of the theft... but yay on the good parts. So you DID get a new camera? An SLR? Which one? Cool!

Hil - No I did NOT yet get a camera. Thinking about it but trying to be frugal till the house closes. Then all *heck* will break loose :) We'll see. See above phobia - if I'm scared to take pictures with an iddy biddy camera how frightening will it be to take pics with a hugey one like that?
