This morning I put my hand in my pocket to find a couple of crisp (and newly washed) dollar bills. I haven't worn these pants in awhile, and they went through the wash some time ago. But it's such a nice surprise when that happens isn't it? You find some money that you didn't know you had, and so you can spend it however you want. In my mind that means I can spend it freely without guilt. I mean really, I didn't even know I had it, so why not spend it? My wife might have a different opinion. She'd say something like, "You know, that could buy 10 diapers..." or something similar. We usually think about money in terms of diapers since our twin boys were born. But it was only $2 afterall.

I wish it would've been more money hiding in my pocket. But then I suppose I would've realized earlier that I didn't have a $20 or something, and spent hours looking for it. This way I get a nice surprise, I don't spend time looking for it, and everyone's happy.

I'm just glad money can stand up to washing machines. Or I'd be out a lot of cash in my lifetime. I better go, I hear a Mountain Dew calling my name from the vending machine. And since I have 2 bucks, maybe some Twizzlers too...
