so, today I decided to cash in my bucket of loose change that I manage to collect throughout the year. I hate change. I mean, I really hate it. It weighs down your pockets, makes a ton of noise when you walk, they get gunky and stick to the floors of your car – just nasty. I would rather put it in a place where I would never have to look at it again for some time. And that’s what I do.
For the past ten years or so, I’ve been using this family-size jug of Hershey’s Syrup (don’t worry, I used all the syrup BEFORE I started using it to collect coins) to dump all my loose change in. I cash in usually in August before school starts for supplies, or extra money for carnivals and fairs. I manage to cash out between $60 – $170, I guess depending on how much I spend each year. Lately, however, I’ve been doing a lot of my banking electronically, so that may explain why I only got about $72. But hey. Money is money. It obviously pays to save those extra pennies.
By the way, I don’t see any point in pennies.
Ohhhh my god! It’s FRIDAY THE 13TH!!! I’m scared!!
Actually, I’m not. I don’t really buy into that whole superstition stuff. School used to drill that trash into our heads about the ladders, black cats and that silly horseshoe above the door. Wwwwahteva. What I DO like about Friday the 13th are the MOVIES! I love the “Friday the 13th” films, and I have the entire series on DVD Box Set. I even have Jason X (which was interesting enough), Freddy vs. Jason (which I thought was clever but Jason looked ridiculously short and wimpy), but I REFUSE to buy the lousy remake … ugh … THAT is a whole different post to gripe about, so I’ll spare you of that. I’ve rented it, I’ve seen it, and can only be thankful that I didn’t buy it.
Sometimes they have Friday the 13th marathons on television (I think TNT did one every 13th, but … wow, I don’t even know if TNT is around anymore … that’s how long it’s been).
Anyway, for whatever it’s worth, I hope you have a fantastic Friday the 13th, celebrating it anyway that you can.
I’ll be posting all my thoughts about this weekend once it’s all over.
