This morning, I was in a great mood because I was expecting a package containing my new 9WEST Magnett Knee High Slouch Boots in Dark Brown that I ordered on Wednesday. In total I paid about $65 (credit card rewards, coupon discount, 50% off sale) for boots that were selling for $169 at department stores.

That said I was in a great mood this morning until I learned someone used a bank debit card without authorization. I spent about 10 minutes insuring I had all the information I needed for the 30 minute phone call (mostly waiting for a customer service rep) to the bank. Someone used the card to pay $16.11 at a movie theater in Dallas, TX. The bank was very responsive in processing all of the needed actions to correct the problem. The bank rep asked if I called the police. Is that normal?

After I finished with the call to the bank, I did my hair and makeup so I could try on my new boots with different styles.

I am very happy with my new boots, however not that happy with the photos and videos I shot modeling the outfits. Decided to use only some of the photos.

I justified the purchase of the boots- because I often wear my brown suede jacket and the price was good. The problem? Because I am losing weight the jacket is now a little big.
