Yesterday I went to Joannes to get some fabric to make a quilt for the new baby my niece just had. I knew she was having a baby, i don't know why ai didn't get this done sooner. So I grabbed my coupon and headed out the door. I had a few places to hit, CVS, Kohls, then fabric. I hit a good sale at Kohls and got to use a ten dollar off coupon I got int he mail. Saved 35.00 there. At CVS, I scanned my card for coupons, and ended up saving about 7 dollars there. good for me. Then, at joannes I found all the fabric to make my quilt, used a 40% off coupon for th highest item, and saved a little there. So far, so good.
I headed home and put all my stuff away, and got started on the quilt. I worked on it, stopping here and there to have a light lunch, talk to my son, talk to John. The picture of the quilt in the book looked like it would take me at least two days to get the front done. But it moved along, and all of a sudden, I was done. I was ready for the fabric for the back. So I had one more 50% off coupon from Joannes, so I headed back out the door. I bought too much fabric for the first part, so I grabbed them and the receipt to return them.
After I found the fabric for the back, I headed to the counter. The clerk returned the Fat quarters I bought too many of, gave me my refund then rang up the fabric I chose. It was already on sale for 50% off, so I gave away the coupon. When she rang up the fabric, she said it was 34.00. OH hell no. It shouldn't have been that much, so I went and found something else. So I found myself back at the register again, this time with a better priced piece of fabric. When I looked in my cart, my wallet was gone. I almost threw up. I went all over the store looking for my wallet, but it wasn't there. It was gone. John called cus he was holding dinner and wanted to know when i was coming home. He didn't even get to ask, I told him what happened, and told him to call the bank and cancel the cards.
I ended up barley having enough cash for the fabric I needed. Yes, I still walked out with my fabric, I still needed it. I am so freaking pissed off though. I cant believe that happened. I looked away long enough for someone to rip me off. mother effers! By the time I got home, John had canceled the debt card and credit card, and was on the phone with kohls to cancel that card. those are the only cards I carried.
Now, I have to stop by the bank and get new cards for John and myself. I have an appointment with the DMV to replace my licence. I still have to replace my medical card and costco card. son of a bitch. Well, now at least I have the back fabric so I can finish that today. I have to be at work at nine tonight, so it will be an early day for me. This has tought me a lesson I guess. I am going to have to learn to carry a purse, or find a way to keep my possession's safer.
Oh well, that was my weekend to this point. At least I get to try and take a better DMV picture.
