the wallet
I lose things quite often. I'm sure I've mentioned that before.
This week's (or maybe it's been two weeks. I've lost track of that, too) lost item is my wallet. It hasn't made such a huge deal--it keeps me from spending loads of money, anyway, but I'm starting to be inconvenienced by it.
I watch the checking account to see that no one is using it to buy all the things that have the As Seen On TV logo. No one has. But I always have to ask BrilliantEditor for money.
"Honey, do you have ten dollars so I can park the car and get some lunch?" Honey is often on the phone when this exchange happens, so I'm betting that he wouldn't mind if I found my wallet.
I'm getting close to calling the bank and telling them that I can't find my cards. But that's the bank and the credit card and the driver's license and my library card, too. And then there's my fabric discount card and the phone numbers of people I'm supposed to call.
The bank does a really crappy job of keeping track of that stuff.
So I'm looking for my wallet.
Any ideas?
