The $600 Shower Curtain

(And no, it's not from Louis Vuitton.)

I was at an ATM yesterday in Charlottesville and withdrew several hundred dollars from my savings account in order to deposit it into my checking account.

Before I went to the bank, I stopped by Bed Bath & Beyond to buy a new shower curtain. I reached into my jacket and pulled out my coupon to save 20%. Unbeknownst to me, the wad of cash came out as well and fell silently like a feather to the floor.

I left the store and didn't realize my money was gone until I was halfway back to DC.

I don't know whether I'll ever forgive myself.

Hey, at least I saved 20%.
