Several funny things happened in one day.....I MUST share the hilarity of it all.
First of all.....I dropped a glass vase on my toilet lid and the porcelain lid broke but the $1 worthless glass vase did not. So, I go to 3 different stores trying to find a new lid for the toilet because we're moving soon. Get this: To buy just the lid it costs $50.00. If I buy the whole toilet it's $30.00. Odd.
Second......my cell phone decided to stop working. It won't turn on no matter how long I charge it. I go to Verizon and discover that my one year warranty on my phone ended 2 weeks before. So, they tell me I can buy any new phone for sticker price or get the same phone I've got brand new for pretty cheap. But, the 'brand new' phone only has a 3 month warranty. What's up with that?
Third........our dreaded yellow 'check engine' light is on again. It's on so often I pretty much just ignore it now. It's like a normal part of the dashboard. I take the car to the mechanic--mind you this is all in the same day--and find out that the cadillic converter and oxygen sensors are faulty. The same cadillic converter and oxygen sensors that we replaced just three months ago. Very odd.
The kicker.........I run to Harmons late Saturday night to grab a few things for lunch on Sunday because we're having guests over. I get to the check out and the cashier asks for ID since it's a new policy if you use a credit card. All I have is the Visa. No ID. He grabs his manager and she tells me all about the new policy and why they check ID and how it's for my benefit. I totally agree with her, however, I still have no ID. So, she says she'll let it slide this time if the signatures from the reciept and the credit card match up. I was so nervous and flustered trying to sign my name that I signed L. Jolley on the reciept. The lady takes it and says, "Maam, the signatures don't match up." In all the embarassment, I signed my maiden name!!!!
I explain that I signed my maiden name and she looks at me skeptically. No kidding because I didn't even grab my wedding ring on the way out of my house.
Basically I'm mortified.
Somehow, she lets me go and trusts that I am, in fact, Lindsey Wintch. I get out to my car and find my wallet sitting there! I had just taken my credit card out for easy carrying and didn't even remember! Part of me wanted to go back in and flash my ID in front of all the cashiers and verify my identity. Instead, I drove home:)

Oh, Lindsey this makes me want to cry! I am so glad that you are laughing about it! It makes for a good post right? The maiden name signature is a crack up. I always do that!
Yup, either you laugh or you cry! You are so funny, though!
Lindsey that's hilarious! I didn't change my drivers license for a while after we were married and when I pulled it out for ID on my first post-marriage plane flight the name on my ID and the name on my plane ticket obviously didn't match up. Thankfully that was all before 9-11 and with a quick explanation I was let through. Glad you made it too!
Sorry linds, that's me, Emily, posting above as Christopher. He signed me out of google and him in and I didn't notice.
