Hello my crafty friends!!!
This past week has been a crazy one for me. I haven't been able to post any 'new' projects that I have done, because I am still in the process of finishing them all! (I start one, then get asked to do something else...so I start that, then get sidetracked on something ELSE.. you all know how that goes, right? No....it's just me that does that?)
Well, the past week has been horrible for me. I had my bank account number (debit card to be exact) stoloen AGAIN. This has happened to me so much, that you would think I am the most careless person in the world, and in fact I am the total opposite! I shred everything, I rarely do online shopping, I try to use cash for everything, especially at restaurants, etc. Yet still... someone manages to get a hold of my information! I think I have figured it out though. It has GOT to be while I am in the hospital. I have my purse with me because of course they need your I.D. and Health Insurance cards when you are admitted. The first couple days of each hospital admission, I am not really "there," I am in so much pain that I am basically zoned out and not conscious. People will come visit me, and talk to me and I have no recollection of it the following days! It's bad. Well, it has got to be during this time...someone must be going through my purse!! Because I get out of the hospital, and my bank account is DRAINED. Same thing happened the last time my card number was stolen, it was right after a hospital admission.
I hate that someone can take everything you work so hard for...in a matter of seconds!! SOOO, I have spent the past few days canceling accounts, filing claims, and trying to get MY money back. Now all I can do is wait. Broke...and waiting!

So sorry to hear about your week :( good thing is next week has to be better right? The best thing that happened to me this week is that my husband bought me flowers twice for no reason at all. He is so wonderful. I don't know what I'd do without him. Thanks so much!
