Street Money Update!
Well, it’s pretty late. I did minimal study time and maximal wasting time. So what the heck…here’s a post too! I am not going into any details, check the next post if you want to know how some of this money got here, but this is the official count for today and like, the last few weeks probably. I’m sorry for being a lame web person but I didn’t even check to see when the last time I put this up…so here it is anyway:
Lots of dirty, salty, beat-up, run over, snow plowed pennies; a few nickels, maybe one; and three or four or five dimes. How precise. I swear I will calculate every last drop of IV medication I give you in the future, but I’m tired and these coins are taking up space on my counter…I gotta get them logged.
Total on this haul: 43 cents–pennies; Zero nickels, my bad, I should have checked first; 50 cents in dimes.
I also noticed I wrote myself a little note for various cents to remember: 33 and 10.
So that brings today’s total to: One dollar and 36 cents (I am soooo lazy tonight that I don’t even want to use the “special” symbols button)
For the year so far—Holy Cannoli!—this is February—and late Feb to boot—crap. Check the total here!
Street Money Update—January 2010!
How lame! I am so far behind. I managed to shake the Facebook Infection called “BeJeweled”, but I have not been vaccinated for the “Fish World Flu”…sucks too, all that bubbling and gurgling, makes my stomach hurt. I blame my son. He said he needed a tank on the outside so he could go to his and get some coins or something…I don’t know. But suddenly I’m on level 5, I have 40-some fish and I find myself buying and selling and cleaning and feeding and treating and stealing and loving these stupid animated fake fish…I know I am wishing the unholy upon the masses of devotees, but I hope they do start charging for Facebook some time this year, then I NEVER have to go on it again! No way am I paying for the privilege of wasting all my spare hours of time.
Anyway…I do have school work to do so I better get on with this. Classes have begun and I need to keep up. BUT, I have found change all over the place and no chance to document it. Well, there have been chances but the socializing got me first.
I already have the 2010 link in place for the totals during the year and it has money listed, although I never sent an update about it…cart before the horse and all that…anyway, I’m telling you now.
At the beginning of January, let’s say, the 2nd, we collectively found 31¢. In change. And that’s not easy to do. Our weather has been for sh*t here and it’s either rain, snow, ice, melted black ice-snow, oil infused melted black ice-snow, slush, mud, or more snow. We have more snow right now, today, but even though it is 16° outside, it’s sunny and some of it is melting. Slightly.
In the parking lot of the bank, under a pile of snow-plowed, dirty, slushy ice-snow, I found just about the rattiest, dirtiest, oiliest, stinky dollar bill you could find that still looked like money. It had probably been there for a month or so. Stuck to the ground. Kind of folded on itself and faded to one side. I only saw it sticking out because it was greenish against the whitish. I parked the car and everything to dig it out. Dedication. And if you are wondering, except for being a lousy girlfriend, and not a very good house-duster or laundry do-er, I do apply the same overly-anal characteristics to everything else too. (Sorry, honey! As always…I’ll try harder!!)
Anystory…I got the dollar, tried to clean it in the sink, made it worse, so I just threw it in with the laundry, and presto! Looks like any old dollar again. And that was it for what’s already in the yearly total link. NOW, here’s what we’ve found since then:
14 days of coin finding (no luck on any more dollars). I’ll just give a general summary because I have no specifics except the amounts. We all found some. In the usual locations. The only notable coins are the 18 cents that Mason found in slush on the street. He said the plow went by and revealed the coins to him while he was walking home from school. Stevie found some slush money too, but I can’t remember which. I just recently found 13 pennies in the parking lot at school, scattered about just as the snow started to fall yesterday and half covered them up. Any more snow and I would have walked right over them. Thirteen seems like bad luck but it’s too late now.
SO here is the rundown: All in cents: 18, 2, 2, 3, 1, 6, 2, 3, 1, 15, 10, 25, 25, and 13. That is fourteen days worth of coin findings.
Total here is: $1.31 (from before) and $1.13 for all that other stuff. Hmmm. Maybe I should play the lottery. Combo numbers 131. I say that, but I am too lazy to go to a ticket seller location.
And that catches us all up on the money. Check it here for the year.
If I get sick of reading about real infections I’ll post some pics. I have some! They are off my phone and in my e-mail. Just a step away from my website picture folder! And two steps away from….you!
Life is de’ bubbles…
Later.
Street Money Update! Final 2009 Totals!
Ok. NOT a big finish for 2009. We went to the mall, walked around parking lots, hung out near the bank …but no…on the last day of the year we found a grand total of 7¢. In all-penny form. So that’s that on that.
Click it here for the GRAND, grand total and check it in a few when I start up the new year from scratch. (Hint, hint…I already found some cash!)
Thanks for following the rainbow!
Street Money Update!
Because I have to!! We been finding all kinds of money along the road….(say it with a southern accent ‘cuz its fuh-uhn!)
It’s been mostly nickels and whatnot…but on yet another glorious night of me failing with the cooking skillz, we found ourselves at the local McDonald’s where I spied with my super eye (in the parking lot. in the dark. several spaces from where we parked.) a folded up bill of unknown quantity. No one was around, no other cars either…in case you wonder…
It was five bucks!
I swear if I wasn’t so lazy I would make us all go to the mall and skulk around looking for lost money. Times are hard you know, and I hate to beg.
Anyway here’s the other money we found on various days from the last days we calculated (listed by coin to make it more interesting):
Quarters: 4 ($1.00)
Dimes: 4 (40¢)
Nickels: 2 (10¢)
Pennies: 9 (9¢)
Plus that 5 dollar bill. Grand total: $6.59
That’s not too bad. Check here for the year. Getting close to the end!!
Street Money Update!
Oooh…my son is dying to get his hands on one of the coins that I found in the last few weeks. See, I won’t let them take any of the money until I tally it up for all you fine folks out there who care about such things as this like I do…so I leave it sitting on top of the microwave, torturing them every day, until I can get here. So finally right??
One quarter (this is the one he wants–it’s just a regular old 1986 quarter–it’s not even really shiny–boys)
Three dimes
Fourteen pennies
PLUS, one fake quarter. It’s plastic and it has “COPY” written across both sides. It’s not even the right size. But I am so good at finding money on the ground I can find money that is not even real!
It’s a skill.
Update for the year. Final month! New count is on the way…this is how I celebrate New Years! So sad…
This is the total for today (forgot to add that): 69¢
And here is the semi-blurry picture of the fake coin. Toodles!
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
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??
just shy of pretty
