All About the Benjamins

Again, let me just kick it off with the big news: I found another $20 bill this week! Last week I was thinking that I jinxed myself talking about all the change and then Tuesday morning I head out and find $20. Thanks to everyone that knocked on wood for me.

When I left the house Tuesday morning it wasn't raining. It started about 10 minutes later and the thunder and lightning made me think it wasn't going to stop anytime soon. I told myself to get to a certain spot and then I would turn around. I cut back a different way that I don't normally run...and that's where I found the $20. Thank you rain storm. It was meant to be.

This was also the week of finding piles of change all in one spot. Yesterday, I finished up my run and was walking almost right in front of my house and I saw three quarters, four dimes and two pennies all sitting together on the street. I was super excited about that one. It's funny because it's light out, there are people walking on the sidewalk (not a lot because it is kinda early, but there are some people out there), so do they see it and just keep walking? Do they not see it? It was on the street and not the sidewalk, but still. People usually tell me that they will stop to pick up a quarter, but not a penny. In this case, it looked like a little treasure on the street. Oh well, I'm not complaining. Thanks to everyone who let it sit there for me to find.

Then this morning, I'm in the middle of my run and see an even larger pile of change. Unfortunately in this case, it was almost all pennies, but there were a hell of a lot of them. It looked like someone just took all of the change from their car and just set it on the street. It was 37 pennies and one nickel. I had a small dilemma deciding on how to carry it all home, but I figured it out. I ended up with $1.81 this morning with 51 pennies. Good times.

My total for the week was $23.93, so this month is looking good. I will have my total next week, so until then, have a good one everyone!
