Happy May Day!

The month was good, the week was good and the new month is off to a good start.

The end of the month is always exciting for me as I get to count up my monthly windfalls...especially when I know it was a good one. This April didn't disappoint as I found $35.83. That doesn't match April 2010 because that was the glorious month that I found a $50. I reminisced about that today as I was counting up my cash. Good times. I will take $35 anytime though.

In a shorter term, I found $10.30 this week. I found over $1.00 on Wednesday, which is good for a weekday. I'm sure it helped that the night before the Bulls and Blackhawks both had pivotal playoff games and people were out at the bars. I'm not ashamed I kinda planned my running week that way. Plus, the weather was much better on Wednesday than Tuesday. I also found a $5.00 bill this morning not far from my house. Not having to go far for cash is always nice, plus it gets the run off to a good start.

Speaking of good starts, that $5.00 does kick May off well. Hopefully the good finds keep on coming. Also this week, I found a Canadian penny to add to my foreign totals. This morning I saw the book, "Something Borrowed" right on the sidewalk. I do read, so I was intrigued. If I'd been walking, I probably would have grabbed it, but I feel like I say that about a lot of things. I will not be seeing that movie, by the way. I do love Ginnifer Goodwin from her time on "Ed," though. One of these days it will be released on DVD, and I will be a happy gal. But I digress.

I hope everyone has a great first week of May. Talk to you next weekend!
