I threw $40 in the garbage
Literally. I wondered what happened to the two twenties I got back at the grocery store on Wednesday. This morning I bagged my kitchen garbage and I found them. Thank goodness!

I've been busy fundraising and coming home very tired. :)

1. I threw out twenty bucks yesterday.



I had been accumulating my winning Lotto tickets on my dresser for some time. Yesterday I decided to cash them in. Four of the 3-out-of-6 winners had expired beyond the 180 day limit. I never learn.

Well I guess we've all bought stuff that turned out to be "throwing away" our money - its just more vivid when you actually lose cash!

5. I threw away 22 dollars
I got a head collar for the puppy and it was chewed up within 2 hours. :(

6. What are you, so rich that you just throw money away?
Just kidding. Thank goodness you found it. Even with today's prices $40 is nothing to sneeze at.
I love when something I've lost just reappears after I give up searching.
:bounce:

I took a friend out to lunch and bought a new top to celebrate!
