A little while back I went to Walmart and bought some chocolate chips. I was checking the receipt on the way out (because that's the kind of person I am) when I noticed that the chocolate chips did not ring up at the sale price. It was only a .39 cent difference, but for me it was the principle of the matter. The woman at customer service scanned some bar codes and then handed me 5 bucks. I'm still not sure why, but it was pretty sweet.
When we bought our car I withdrew a large sum of money from the bank and placed it in 2 chase envelopes. I ended up having 250 bucks left over. I THOUGHT that I took all of the money out and placed 50 in my wallet and left the 200 on the desk. A few days ago I started looking for that money and couldn't find it anywhere. I freaked because I had thrown away both envelopes and had taken out the trash. HOWEVER, last sunday I was asked to substitute in Primary and I wrote myself a note, which I placed on the door of the bathroom. On monday I took the note down and threw it away in the BATHROOM trash. Fortunately I don't empty the bathroom trash as often as the kitchen trash, fortunately I wrote my note on the back of a chase envelope, fortunately it happened to be the one that still had 200 bucks in it, and fortunately I remembered and pulled it out! wow.

This says "posted by Preston" but I know my daughter's voice when I hear it. I knew it wasn't Preston in the first line when it said "it was only 39cents difference but I had to take it back. If I know Preston, he would not take something back to save 39 cents. Am I right? PS. Glad you didn't throw away the cash. Whew!
FOr real! Yeah, it was me.
