La Vie En Rose for 2004 January 20 (entry 2)

(8) Tue Jan 20 2004 22:29 Like finding a $20 bill in your pocket: ...only much, much better. I just realized I have a scholarship I had forgotten about. From scoring well on some stupid examen back in HS. I decided to save it for when I *really* needed it, then completely forgot it's existence. By now, intrest has added up to 1150--which means I can use it for books and supplies this year, and save my other money for Europe! Yippee!!!

Nothing beats free money (just ask the government)

I once found $20 in that pocket of a purple sailor coat I had (and didn't wear very often). Why did I ever put $20 into my pocket in the first place?

On Sunday I found a car key to my mom's Camry in my peacoat that I apparently hadn't won for over a year. We sold that car to my mom last Thanksgiving 2002.

If finding $20 in your coat pocket excites you, you should put a $20 bill in all of your coat's pockets. A nice little treat left for yourself for a rainy day!

We would do that if we had $100 extra to hide away.

I was just thinking the same as Kristen
