GAP Goof

So, last week when we went to Illinois we stopped at the Outlet Mall by Iowa City....it is a good one, GAP, Old Navy, Nike, Coach, Banana Republic, Ralph Lauren......just to name a few.  Anyway, Gary dropped Mark and I off to shop our little hearts out ...for the whole time it took him to get gas....ha....talk about power shopping.....so we started at GAP, they had a huge sale on dress pants so I went and actually tired some on......while I was trying things on Gary and Mark went to Nike and while I was paying Gary and Mark came back letting me know my time was up........(I did manage to go to the Coach store while they ate at Arby's.....OMGG, even in an outlet store.....on the clearance rack making it an extra 50% off.....plus a 20% coupon the purse I liked would have cost me $238) so I just left and went to Arby's.

Later that night I was looking for my phone but couldn't find it......no biggie, I do that a lot and my phone does not sustain my life like my husband and children.....so I really didn't worry about it.  Monday night while watching Pawn Stars the phone rang and the number came up on the TV, Gary, being very astute said, "Who is that calling?"  To which I answered, "Ummmm, it's my phone, I wonder what he wants!" Ha, first of all, it was very surreal and second, I guess I didn't know until that moment that my phone was male!

So I answer, and yes, as you can probably already guess, I had dropped it at the GAP when trying on clothes.  The very kind young man on the other end explained, "They found it yesterday, but everyone was trying to figure out what to do so I took it and said, let's call home."  He then took my address and told me he would send it the next day by UPS.  I told him I would pay for it, just to let me know his name and the cost. 

So on Thursday afternoon when I got home from school, there was my phone, delivered by UPS.  Mark suggested that I just keep in in the BIG UGLY UPS envelope it came in so I could keep track of it, but I decided to open it and take it out!  Inside it was surrounded by lots of GAP bags, but there was no name and no mailing bill.....but there was a piece of paper.....a 30% off coupon......with a smiley face.........there are some nice people in the world.......and one of them is a dude by Iowa City that works at GAP!

So there is my "stupid turned feel good" moment for the month of March.  Not nearly as good as Taryn and Riley's but thought I would share.  Have been thinking of you all lots......sending lots of love......and hoping the blog gets more posts this week, I love reading them!

PS:  Taryn, how unfortunate that Nelly's mother named her one SON Nelly and then her other son Free City!  When you marry him, you can name your children something unusual, but hoping nothing like that!  :)
