little bo cheap

I have been missing my wallet for nearly a month now.

While it's great for my budget, it's not great for my nerves. I know that at the grocery store discount cards are in it. There are old doctor's appointment cards (they'll know I go to the dentist). And then there are the credit cards and bank cards. And my AAA card's there. What if I need towing? Or what if my car needs towing?!

BrilliantEditor has to pay for everything. In the store if he wanders away while I'm buying (he's buying) something, I kind of say loudly, "Hey, big spender." And he ponies up the cash. Still it makes me feel as if I'm hoarding pennies. And thus, having lost something, wanting to gather it up, and watching money like a hawk, Little Bo Cheap is born.

But darlings, her life is short. I only made up her name today and like magic I found the wallet!

Where was it? I tell you it was in a Christmas-like place. If only it had been near a fireplace. It was so like a stocking full of gifts.

I found it in BrilliantEditor's boot.

His boot lives under the place where my purse usually lives. And so it makes some kind of sense. But I don't care about sense. It's cents that I want! And have.

Oh, it feels so nice and secure. Ahhhhh.
