Found 38 Cents Yesterday

Last night right after I shut down my computer for the day, I saw the money sitting on my coffee table that I'd found yesterday and realized I hadn't blogged about it. Doh!

Oh well, here is what I found:

• at a gas station:  a dime, then a quarter, then two pennies
• in a fast food drive through lane:  a penny

Yay! I had walked quite a bit first looking at another gas station, another fast food place, a bank drive through, a shopping center parking lot, and along a busy street. I was beginning to think I wouldn't find any money then I did.

So the moral of the stories, kiddies, is don't give up. Keep at it. You never know when you'll strike it big.

• what I thought was a penny in the street (but turns out it was a dime and the only reason I could tell was it was smaller than a penny, just as black as a very tarnished penny though, but size does matter)
• a penny in a parking space in front of an auto parts store

Yay! That's 38 cents found today!

Found 38 Cents on a Walk

Today I am boycotting Black Friday by not going to any stores (so far anyway). I don't plan to either. I am the kind of person who goes to Wal-mart in the middle of the day in the middle of the week to avoid as many people as possible. Shopping on Black Friday is just asking for it, to me.

So, after piddling around here this morning, doing some cleaning, goofing off online, you know the drill, I decided to go for a walk. I found that little pile of money! Yay!
