2 Pennies and a Lipstick Bar

Okay, I had to return some books and DVDs to the library and decided to just go ahead and run some errands even though it was almost 100 degrees out. I do have to leave the house between now and September, once in awhile, I guess. So, first I went to Goodwill because it was on the way. That and it was half off day. Half off on all the junk for sale! And I found a penny! And this lovely lipstick bar!


How cool is that? Of course, I only own one tube of lipstick, which I never wear, and this puppy has six slots so I think I'll sell it on Etsy.

Then I went to the library that felt so cool I really kind of hated to walk back to my car even though it was in covered parking so knew it wouldn't be boiling hot. Then I stopped at the grocery store on my way home. Found another penny! Wee doggies!

And both pennies are the new 2010 pennies with the new design on the back with the shield instead of that building. Go figure! What building is that anyway?! Just checked. It's the Lincoln Memorial.

New Pennies Found in Change

Not found money that I can count, but I just found these 2 pennies, and I feel like I'm way behind times. I just noticed 2 shiny new pennies in my change yesterday. And these weren't normal new pennies. These are the new Lincoln one-cent design that was launched in February. What rock have I been living under?

Take a look. Not a great picture, but the shield shows in the penny on the left. Lincoln looks the same and has a new 2010 date. But the new pennies are beautiful, even though they feel light, like ramped up Monopoly money if Monopoly dealt in coins.

Have you seen the new penny? What do you think of them?
