Found 2 cents

December 21st, 2008 at 07:30 am

This past week I got a package from a seller on Ebay. Amidst all the packing material I found a penny!

Yesterday while at McDonalds I found another penny in the parking lot.

I haven't found any money recently, so I was quite surprised and thankful!!

Was that something I sent you on ebay? Can I have my penny back?! LOL
With my luck, if I dropped a penny in someone's package, it would put it into the next weight bracket and they'd get a postage due notice on it!
