Trip-ching

Well the chachachange can didn't exactly get fat from my trip to Jacksonville. Largely due to the fact that my aunt would not let me pay for anything. But we did manage to accumulate $2.03 over the course of 3 days which brings my total to...................drum roll please..............$11.50! We have made our first $10.00.

Bling-ching

When I went to pick up my jewelry sales money I had $2.70 in loose change in the bag. Since I don't deposit coin, I have contributed it to the Cha Cha Change can to bring my total to $9.47. Since I will gone for a couple of days, I will be packing the Cha Cha Change can's toothbrush so it can travel with me. There should be loads of opportunities for loose little money on a trip.

Roger-ching

Roger needs to keep a closer eye on his loose change. I found $1.61 cents in his office this morning. I have already warned him that any loose coinage I find is mine, mine, all mine so it has taken up residence in Cha Cha Change can. I'm such a bandit but all's fair, right? Brings my total to: $6.77. Vacation here I come!

Car-ching

I dug through my car today and turned up $3.40! BONANZA TIME! My total in Cha Cha Change can is $5.16. This is really eye opening for me in just how much loose change is lying around that people can ignore but added to a growing little change can will eventually amount to something significant. The one thing I have promised myself is that I will not go around looking down for discarded coins but I won't ignore them if they present themselves. Instead I hope I can go through life looking for those pennies from heaven.

Kit- ching

This morning I found .22 on the kitchen counter. It is close to St. Paddy's day so maybe the leprechauns left it for me. It was all in pennies but I swept it up anyway and now it is safely away in my Cha-Cha-Change Can. This makes my total $1.76. Here's hoping you all have a great day!

Desk-Ching

Today, I found .50 lurking in a desk drawer. I blew the lint off it and deposited it in my Cha-Cha-Change can. At this rate, I'll be heading for Hawaii in about 50 years or so. I will totally rock a grass skirt by then. Do they make one that fits around an entire wheel chair? Maybe I'll find enough coin to afford a gigolo to push me around the sand. Of course I have to be careful that my "boy toy" doesn't drown me in the ocean and take all my money. Here's a pic of my earnings today.

A new beginning

Recently Kaylee found a little blog called "Change Pot". This is basically someone who keeps a tally of all the change they find. I've always been a huge collector of change so I thought I would rob this idea and just do it for myself for grins. I'm calling mine Cha-Cha Change a play on words after the song by the GREAT Aretha Franklin "Chain of Fools."So I'm starting today with $1.04 cents that I found picking up in the house. I'm choosing a tropical theme for my new Blog just in case I find enough money to take a splendiferous vacation! Cha-Ching
