Today I found 24 cents. . . all pennies.
On my way to work this morning I was stopped at a traffic light and I spotted a penny in the road. The early morning penny is always a nice way to start the day. Figuring it was a sign of good things to come I stopped at the Kwick Kar Wash and found 14 cents (again, all pennies).
On my way to meet my friend Susan for dinner this evening I was at yet another red light (on the same road as in the morning) and I found another two pennies. The light turned green just as I had retrieved the coins and was getting back into my car. After dinner I went to the post office and found a penny on the ground between the automated postal machine and a trash can. On my way home I checked another two car washes and found a total of six cents (you guessed it, all pennies).
Just as a point of interest I must say that I never had any idea how expensive clothes are. Susan decided that I needed some new shirts and pants so she helped me pick out a few things today. After making the purchase I wish she had decided to pay. You know, I don’t want to talk about it anymore.
Totals for the day: 24 cents
Race Totals: $171.24

How much??
Seriously, way too much. I'll give you one guess and i'll let you know if you are over or under. Just so you know I got three dress shirts, two paris of jeans, three pull over shirts/sweater type things, and one t-shirt. Grand total?
What store?
I can tell you... $270 BUCKS!!!!!
it's all worth it! Chris is a hottie tottie now!!!!!
Brian:
Stein Mart.

Boy, way to ruin the fun for everyone, and even that number is low! It was a tad more. Grrrrrrrr. Besides, I was always a hottie, right?
okay $275....
There you go. But I was a hottie before, right?
Like I said, you are a hottie NOW Chrissy ;)
I don't think that's too bad for that many items. Had the surprise not been spoiled, my numbers crunching would have taken me right around that area.
Think about it this way: If you close out the year with the same acumen you've shown thus far in your change quest, then your purchase will be paid in full!

Thanks for helping me see the bright side of things. Providing I don't hang myself with one of my new shirts 1) because of the cost or 2) because the Astros are such a horrible team to watch right now, I will do my best to stay positive.
