Let’s shake off the alcohol buzz and talk about money…Street Money Update!
And it’s a good one.
I’ve been saving the pennies, nickels and dimes we’ve been finding all over the place, for one big post when I had time to do it.
Today is your lucky day!
Keep in mind, we pretty much find money everyday now, but with my schedule it’s too hard to put a few cents in here on a daily basis. But based on last night’s little post and the fact that I am hooked on some stupid internet game thru the facebook…i can take some extra time on Sunday to share this exciting money total! School prob won’t suffer any more than it did with my two martini study group if I wait a few more minutes today…let the fog clear and the headache subside…
Anymoney…here is the top news first (everything else after is anti-climatic, but it is still money!):
Approx. one month ago: In a pizza restaurant parking lot, as we were leaving, just laying on the ground folded up: Twenty dollars! Yes, 20! Twenty. It was dark too. I spotted it and picked it up. I figured it was some bill, but twenty was a surprise!
Oh, and I think Mason found a penny as we were going in!
Then I made notes on a scrap paper like this:
Lisa 2¢
Bowling: M= 1¢ S=$1.27
M+S weekend, 12¢
Penny at clinical.
1¢ at school.
10¢ Stevie school.
More school money, 47¢ with a date, 10/12/09
And then I have a bunch of loose change that we found and put on the microwave just waiting for this special day: 21¢
Grand total for the last month or so…$22.23!
Not too bad. This will boost the numbers for the year. Check here.
Thanks for following the madness. Poker is next while I still have battery power….
Street Money Update!
Weekend fever!
Six cents via Stevie and me.
Eight cents via Mason and the post office parking lot.
Street Money Update!
Cause you know you want to know and you know I want to tell.
All for one cent. A penny for your thoughts.
Street Money Update
Real quick on a Saturday night. One at school. One by Mason. One by Stevie. Three cents. Check it here for the year.
Street Money Update!
Enjoy these silly postings because they will be few and far between soon. Few and far between soon. Say that five times fast. That’s alot of description words or conjunctions or something…anyway…I’m losing the steam for being able to do all I want when I want. The time is short. Even shorter than I realized a week ago. But this is not about that. This is about money. On the street. So here’s the count. Today and yesterday.
Found my lucky penny yesterday before school, but it was only half lucky.
And today was a nickel and dime day. Nickel on the street. Dime at the Walgreen’s. It was on the outside under a mat in a crack. (If you read this post kind of sing-songy it sounds like Dr. Suess)
So the total for now is 16¢
More Money! The BF found three cents today! AND he picked it up! It counts! That brings us to 19¢! Oh my!
Street Money Update!
It gives me luck and fills me with hope.
That is asking alot of some loose change I find on the ground. Which I did. Saturday and today. One cent and one cent.
It just keeps rolling in right??
Street Money Update! Super Deluxe All-in-One Edition!
We found money. I have managed to keep it in neat rows for posting so I wouldn’t get confused about how much and what day and where. But, it has been, like a week, and even though I am pretty anal, I’m just not that good at keeping track of the coins when I had more important career-building school studies to worry about. So here it is, all in one big clump:
Six cents. Somewhere. I found it, but the memory is gone. Maybe walking the kids to school…
Four cents. Most likely found on the way to school based on the ratty nature of the coins.
Six cents. Mason found, riding his bike around at the end of our block.
Eleven cents. Somewhere over the weekend, I think. Most likely in a parking lot.
Twenty-two cents! At the laundromat! Washing the bed comforter. Exciting weekends. I wonder what I would do on Saturday and Sunday if I was rich?? What would I do on any of the week days?? Doesn’t matter.
The kids went camping all Labor Day weekend and Stevie said she found a quarter! But, she spent it on candy. It doesn’t count if it doesn’t come home.
Grand total for this post: 49¢ Living Large!
Street Money Update!
Walking with the Stevie. One cent on the way to school. One cent on the way home. That’s two total.
Street Money Update!
The pennies are getting hairier and hairier…just one, found all mangled in the street today on the way to school. But it counts!
Street Money Update!
Nothing too exciting. More change on the way to school.
Two nickels and three pennies. Total of 13¢!
Little by little our fortune grows….
