"I got a dollar, I got a dollar"

You know that feeling you get when you put on your coat for the first time all year and when you put your hands in the pocket you discover that you left your self a present in the form of cold hard cash last year? It's a pretty awesome high isn't it? Now I want you to think about how you would feel if you found a dollar you didn't even know existed! Last night before bed I was working on clearing out my self in the pantry, getting ready for moving day. I was going through and getting rid of old food and garbage like old receipts and such. While I was thus engaged I happened across a shinny silver package. It was flat and sealed and had obviously come out of some cereal box that had long since been finished and thrown away. My first thought was it's just garbage, probably a coupon for something I don't need to spend money on in the first place. I was going to just throw it away without another thought but something made me pause. Curiosity got the better of me and I had to open it and know what was inside. Boy am I glad I did! Inside was a crisp new one dollar bill neatly folded in fourths to be packaged. The rush of excitement hit me. FREE MONEY! And to think I thought it was just garbage. Just goes to show you you can't judge something by it's packaging. Same thing goes for people.

Good for you Amanda! I love finding money! I found $50 inside a rite aid while looking in the candy bin. But I turned it...
