okra: My $4 Are Gone

Yesterday my purse disappeared at the grocery store. Ironically, I was trying to turn an insurance card to the service desk, that someone else had dropped, when it disappeared. Only $4 was inside. But, my driver's license was in there, all of my credit cards, and my cell phone. My new cell phone. So, it looks like I'll be getting an even newer one -- also, don't try to call me cell phone, haha. Though if you do and some guy answers, tell him to give me my stuff back! I cancelled all of my cards, etc. so if someone has it, they will be pretty disappointed. Of all the things I lost, the fact that they got away with my Azumanga Daioh cloisonné pin bothers me the most. It was in the shape of a tiny cute anime style wildcat. I'm trying to see if it is replaceable. Not much chance of that so far without buying DVD #6 in that series as well (it comes with the DVD). I also miss my orange wallet itself more than the things that were actually inside of it. I looked in the trash-cans, hoping to find it, but no luck. They still had a few of them at Target (thank goodness I had a Target gift card at home, or I wouldn't have had any money). They didn't have orange though. Now I have a purple wallet with nothing inside.

But, on the happier side of things, the grocery shopping itself went very well. I got the vegetables I need to make curry. Yum! I also got things to put in this pancake-type mix that the guy manning the register at the Korean market suggested. You put veggies in it and cook it into veggie pancake thingies. It looks really delicious. I also got some dried cranberries and yogurt pretzels in the bulk foods section. I think I'll take some of them on my road trip tomorrow! I get to go visit two of the site campuses affiliated with the college I work for. I will be out of the office all day. Plus, one of my buddies from work is going along, too! So it is going to be fun.

My pin looked like this guy.
