You Know What This Trip REALLY Needed?

Credit card fraud. It really did. And thank you random person who somehow swiped my card information and fashioned a new card for yourself. After reviewing your purchases, I appreciate your plight.

You obviously needed to feed your family. It warms the heart to know the first purchases were $500 in groceries at Smart & Final.

And the three charges at the Gap for Over $400? New school clothes for your kids won't just buy themselves.

Thank goodness you got my card in time to spend $70 at the animal hospital, where presumably you saved your sick kitten, or finally got your dog fixed. I can't stand to see animals suffer.

Lastly, I applaud your ability to appreciate the good fortune you've received. And what better way to celebrate that than $200 spent at a liquor store? Just let me know where the party is, and I'm there! Just don't be surprised if I bring a few friends. Don't worry, they think it's a costume party. Ha ha! Don't mind the handcuffs and stun guns!!

5 of you HAD to say...:

OH NO! Really? That's terrible! Good luck with all the paperwork and everything that goes with it.

Mama DB said...

seriously. The animal hospital? How odd and traceable...

Oh, the bandwidth. You have to laugh I suppose.

I REALLY love you Rachel. you are awesome. Good hearted sarcastic and totally able to see the big picture. My grandmother was of the "mieux vaut rire que pleurer" school (better laughter than tears) and when presented with the option, it's nice to see you so often choose to laugh, even if tHROUGH those tears. tears possibly of laughter. OK, must go to bed. It's over. I know and you have more recent posts, but it's YOUR fault for writing such a great blog that is SO you, I feel like I've caught up,. Gonna save the more recent ones for when I'm awake. Love ya, hope your money's returned. (Same thing happened to us last year and we didn't know, credit card co called us and told us. I guess spending hundreds of dollars at home depot in alabama didn't fit our profile. Also followed by a liquor store run...

You know I'm reminded of the Friends episode with Ma-Nana and Monica. Except rather than your Monica being adventurous and exciting... yours goes to Smart & Final. If someone was going to steal your identity and drive you to the brink of madness the least they could do is make it interesting.
