$3,400

No, that is not the amount of money I have raised since posting about my donation page (so far posting that on every social media outlet I have an account on has amounted to a grand total of $0). That is the amount of money I accidentally charged to my mothers credit card the other day.

I wasn't online shopping, stealing her money, or other naughty things... Here's the story:

As the Stateline pageant gets closer, I'm starting to get more prepared by gathering all of my clothes, costumes, interview outfits, stuff of that sort. I have to be down in Edwardsburg the day before the pageant for rehearsal. It's a two hour drive so it's not an option to drive there, back, there, and back again. I decided to check out hotels that I could stay in for the night. Ms. Montgomery suggested the Holiday Inn Express in Mishawaka, (what?) Indiana. While trying to book my 1 night stay from February 1st to the 2nd, which would have only been a $90 charge, I accidentally made the reservation for February 1st to March 2nd... My mother got her credit card and entered all of the information. She only noticed the mistake after the charge was made.... the $3,400 charge!!!

OH SH*T! 

We called the Holiday Inn Express company, the Mishawaka (again, what?) Holiday Inn Express, and my mom's credit card company... no one could say they could fix it...

OOOOOHHH SH*T! 

They did say they would make a note on the credit card that the reservation was canceled but the man at the desk, Steve I think was his name, said that he didn't have the clearance to cancel the transaction on my mom's card, but his boss would do it on Monday...

Pshew!

Everything is hopefully going to get itself worked out tomorrow. If not, I really need to win Miss Stateline so I can pay my mom back for that charge.

My crazy life continues...
