As I was getting out of the car next to a curb, I looked down to be sure of my footing. There was a quarter leaning against the curb. I rejoiced over my luck and a half dozen more quarters appeared, only they were pouring from my purse along with several dimes. I must have spilled $2 in coins. I really believe the first was a found quarter. Maybe not.
I had dropped change in the cross-body for several days. This was the first time in months I had used cash to get back change. This is why I like a purse with a zipper. This purse has a zipper but it was not zipped or change was pouring out of the side with zipper pull. Either way, I am not going to get change again and if I do, I will put it in my change container every day, the one sitting by my bed.
This could as easily have been a major loss of quarters and dimes, so I am happy I stopped the flow from my purse!
Saturday, I went into Walgreen's to buy something to spend my $5 credit. I got a pair of black gloves for me for $2.49 and got a pair for Tommy that were 50% off after my purchase. As I was looking at them, I picked up a Vaseline lip gloss that was pink. Well, yes it was a tube of pink lip stuff. But, I could not see pink on my lips or the back of my hand. However, I am happy to have something for my lips that won't leave my mask dark pink. 12-packs of Diet Pepsi were 3/$9.99, so I got 3 for Tommy. Altogether, I think I spent $12.95. Plus, I received 2 coupons for $2 and $7 that I will use.
At a big box, I bought ribbon for the green watering can, a red container for Christmas stuff, Reese's cup miniatures, and something else I cannot remember.
We got a burger and ate at the park, then went to look at Christmas decorations at about 4 pm. Some displays are pretty but not well-lit or lit at all. So, we discovered what some displays were all about.
Have you been out to look at Christmas lights? Have you seen any really fabulous displays?
I might see a few houses on the way home and Camden, where I work, is decorated nicely, but I usually do not go out at night when I get home. Plus, I libe in a very tiny town.Camden js bug city....lol.
ReplyDeleteWe only go to a few neighborhoods nearby even though I am dying to go further! We try to be home by 5 pm when it is just getting dark. Any other year, I would be willing to go farther. This year, I am not to sure of his driving.
Deletebig not bug....sigh
ReplyDeleteOur neighborhood has a lot of lights. We've not driven around much.
ReplyDeleteSAM,
ReplyDeleteWell, you still have time!
TheHub and I drive around to look at lights and have seen many beautiful displays!
ReplyDeleteAnne,
DeleteI thought about coming to that area of town, but I do not want to be out with Tommy driving after dark. Maybe I can get enough of the right food in him so his blood sugar will not be low and try going to other cities than Hueytown.
