I win!

 Ok, hi, by the way, anyway! I have the best luck when it comes to accidentally getting such great deals that it feels like stealing!!

Example: Had an inside deal on a Disneyland package, staying at the Grand Californian, early passes, breakfast with characters etc...  through the sister of a friend of mine, she’s affiliated with Disney. The deal was priced stunningly low. I read it wrong and thought that is was for three nights, four days. The reservations were made for that amount of time.

We met my friend there and on the second morning she was packing to go home and I was all... why? “ Because that’s the package” 

Uh...Holy shit! Suddenly I was hit with the idea that I was gonna be on the hook for an extra $2000 since we had all these character meetups and early access and the most expensive hotel, in a suite! 

So I start sweating, call the front desk and ask them about it and they had entered it into the computer just like I’d said, hotel said ; “You’re good. This package is this much money and you’re fine” 

I called my friend and told her, she tried to come back and they said... Nope. 

2) bought a wedding ring for $10,000. Went back to get two diamond bands for either side and were told that our sales person was let go. She priced my ring incorrectly and the company had to eat.....$20,000! I insured my ring that day. 

3) Not nearly as impressive but warms my heart none the less.... I love Multnomah Falls. In fact, some of my ashes will be spread there. It is a deeply happy place for me. So, I went looking for some art depicting the falls and found a painting that I LOVE!!! Now, it was strange because the painting was identical to others on the site, in that it was framed in a gorgeous frame and covered in glass, but the price was WAAAAY off from the others. MUCH less $$ so, I checked and double checked and it wasn’t a miniature version or anything, same size, 24x18, yes, framed, yes, glass, yes signed... not a print....

So I bought it. It came with a “lovely” note in which the artist tells me that due to his mistake I’d just purchased a piece of art for less than the cost of his supplies. Oops!! 

And it’s hanging in my home as of today and I really do love it 😍 

So is his letter!!! 😂

I’ve made the trailer for crowd funding my Doc. It needs editing but it’s moving along!

I started a podcast!!!!! I might as well put all these thoughts that go through this quirky brain to work!! I’ve done two shows now and I love it. Robb is doing it with me and since we chat every day anyway it’s super easy and laid back. Go me!

Speaking of go me... Night my Luvs
