Entitled "Tuesday" (Written again by unnamed family friend....)
So, I went on a Starbucks run today; the nearest is about 12 minutes away. I was sent to get a hot chocolate, venti iced coffee and grande vanilla bean frap with an extra shot. I ordered and the total was $10.63. My coworkers had given me $7 in cash but I was just going to use my debit card to pay. So I looked in my purse and no wallet. This morning I had realized I didnt have my wallet, but did have my debit card, so I thought I was cool unless they asked me for ID. Anyway, so I start looking through all the little pockets and couldn't find my card. I thought maybe I had left it in my car this morning when i got coffee so I went to look. I couldn't find it so considered driving all the way back to work or gathering all the loose change to pay the difference. I looked all through my car and found a handful of nickles and dimes. My coffee had spilled in the center console and the change was all stuck together and was really really gross. So I went back in and the cashier was just kinda waiting for me... I had to go in the bathroom to rinse off the change so I could SEPERATE it.... I FINALLY got it all unstuck and went to pay and I was STILL short 2.86. The cashier was looking at me like, really?? You are that broke and you are spending the last bit of your money on coffee?? So I guess she felt bad for me and took off the charge for the extra shot, the total was something like 1.76. So I pulled out this REALLY old used gift card I had saved to give to my daughter and told her to try it. She said "Well if you don't know the amount on the card it probably won't work". I had no idea if there was any money on it... so she tried it and it didn't work for the total so she tried it again for $1.50. Thank god it worked that time! So I still owe starbucks some change... pathetically she took it out of the tip jar.
Seriously... every day this is my life.

I am so enjoying these stories. It seems that Polvo's "friend" has a little bit of a drinking problem the past 2 days.
does your "friend" know you have pilfered and are sharing his/her stories with the blogosphere?
Good question Abbzug... the answer is rather technical, long, and boring but the short answer is no.
Now, I've certainly contemplated letting this friend know I've taken such liberties - but then I'd most likely have to direct 'said friend' to this blog right? and, well, I'm not sure that would be best either.
I have taken it upon myself to remove any names and replace them with him/her/daughter, etc., and I have corrected some of her spelling as well.
She also happens to be a self proclaimed photoshop Genius, often with mal intent and does graphic art for a fortune 500 company - so that's also something these blogs don't need.
Am I missing something?
In this story Polvo mentions his purse. In the other story about the diet Dr.Pepper, he mentions his make-up.....
Ummm, Polvo, so I have a question:
how is you'r vagina today?
Ok, so I just noticed that these postings are "told by a family friend"
Yet the question still stands.
my vagina is fine
can't speak for everyone but I am feeling better just knowing polvo's female parts are working fine.....that had me tossing and turning a few nights........but seriously...we ought to invite the "family friend" to contribute to all the blogs...I like her (his) style...I too thought it was polvo writing both the stories...shows you why I made lots of D's and F's in school I guess..........
