I love your beef jerky escapade. It sounds like something I would do. And your effort to surreptitiously make things right… 😂

Once I accidentally stole something from Hobby Lobby, because it was at the bottom of the cart & I realized in the parking lot since it wasn’t in the bag, it probably wasn’t on my receipt. I tried to verify this, but if you’ve ever attempted to read a Hobby Lobby receipt, it’s like deciphering hieroglyphics within The Matrix code if they were typed on an ancient typewriter you found at a garage sale with a dried out ribbon.

The clerk was flabbergasted as I tried to explain. (She couldn’t read the receipt either.) When she finally realized I wasn’t blaming her for anything & just wanted to pay for the item, she couldn’t believe it. Apparently this honest act granted me sainthood status & she just couldn’t believe it. Meanwhile, I (the saint) was thinking, “Wow. You’d think a craft store that plays instrumental elevator music renditions of church hymns & has Bibles & crosses in the impulse buy aisle while you wait to pay, would not be so shocked at honesty.” Then it occurred to me that she probably assumed I was a heathen. 😂

I love everything you write and up until this post I thought we shared the same brain. The brownie corners are the best. Period. They make pans for individual brownies just so everyone can have one. This is very disappointing.
