Bummer of a Day! (7/6)

You know that story about the "terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day" that makes you want to runaway Australia? Well. Just had one! I went into Lider (the Chilean Kroger) to get a few things and left my wallet at the checkout. Dumb, I know. I returned about 5 minutes later, and it was gone gone! No one knew anything about it. Deb had a stressful day at work and I needed to cancel my credit cards, but we had to go out because we were supposed to meet someone for fundraising Trivia Night at a resturaunt. (And I suck at trivia!!!) Well, while eating and playing, someone snatched Deb's purse! The resturaunt owner, a British gente, was so sympathetic and helped us call necessary places. Upon calling we found that whoever took Deb's purse somehow manage to spend $200 on her credit card in less than an hour. Without my wallet and Deb's purse we didn't even have a way to pay for dinner! I think I'm moving to Australia now. But the story ends better than this. Someone called the next day and claims to have found Deb's purse in the back of his pick-up truck. At least she got ID and licenses back. Mine is gone, but at least I can go and get file the appropriate paperwork next week.
