Happy Thanksgiving Weekend

Happy Sunday everyone, I hope a good Thanksgiving was had by all. It was nice to have a couple of extra days off, but I could use one more to fully reload for the week. I was able to get an extra running day in, but I also ate enough for four people. I need this week to get back to normal.

I found $3.35 this week, so I'm pretty happy with that. Thanksgiving morning was fun because I found $1.15, 1.20 in euros (not sure how to write that) and the Jack of Clubs - a card that I needed for my collection. This morning was a little odd because it was raining when I got up to run so I ended up sleeping in until about 9:45. That hasn't happened in an extremely long time, but when I got up I went for a little walk and ended up finding $1.22. It makes me wonder what I would have found earlier in the morning! Oh well.

I'm excited to count up my monthly total next week and looking forward to a fun December and last month to the year. Have a great week!

Biting the Dust

Good evening! So, I took a bit of a spill yesterday, got a bruised knee and elbow, but otherwise I'm good. I tried to make it graceful as a tripped over some uneven concrete, but there was no one around to see it to verify my gracefulness.

Other than that, I had a pretty good week. I found $5.41, a Trader Joe's gift card with $1.39 on it, a Visa gift card with $.95 on it and $.75 in Canadian cash. I've found a lot of change this month, so my little cup is already overflowing a bit.

I'm looking forward to this week because people say that the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is one of the busiest nights out of the year. Go out and drink people...and drop your money outside the bar for me to find!

Until next week, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

November Cool

Good evening everyone! The Bears just crushed the Lions, so things are good tonight. My money finding this week was nothing special - $3.90 - but nothing to sneeze at either. I found close to $2.00 this morning on my run, including 48 pennies. I think that may be a new record. Good times.

I was also thinking this week how it had been a while since I found any foreign coins, and the foreign money Gods must have heard me. I found a $2.00 Canadian coin and a 5 cent Canadian coin. The "toonie," as I've been told it is called, is a cool looking coin. It has silver and gold and it kinda big. It was a fun find today.

Other than that, nothing to exciting. Looking forward to another good week. Until next time, have a great week!

I Heart October

October is always one of my favorite months of the year. I love wearing sweaters and sweatshirts and just being comfortable. This was a good October because I found 42.94 during the month, which is pretty damn good. Finding a $20 bill always helps, but even without it, it would have been a good month.

As I mentioned earlier I also like October because of Monopoly at McDonalds. While I didn't win anything bug, I think I ended up with about 150 Coke Rewards points, a few free Redbox movies and some free pictures from Snapfish. I always like free stuff, so I'll take it.

This week was also pretty good. I found $5.08, including another winning lottery ticket. I seriously don't understand how people scratch of winning tickets and then leave them on the ground. I'm not complaining though. I also found a $.50 coupon to Walgreens, not too exciting, but still pretty good.

Until next week, have a great second week of November!
