So anyone that knows me well knows that I have taken up this silly habit of picking up pennies where ever it is I go...if theres a penny laying there I pick it up...

Sometimes I even find nickels, dimes & quarters...even found a dollar or two over the past three years...LOL once in awhile I find some interesting object laying there and pick that up too...sometimes not very interesting objects also. I have a lil flower pot that I keep these items and coins in...

My collection consists of several nails and screws along with a nut...dont want anyone driving over them and getting a flat tire...i have a lil broken plastic piece from what must have been a hair tie, it has pretty lil flowers inside...there is an orange plastic letter O...a strange pic lookin thing that is the shape of an r and it is kinda sharp and dangerous lookin...I have a part of someones GR plastic letters off their car...half of a key...and someones lost earring...along with many pennies a few nickels, dimes and I think someone has confiscated my quarters...grrrr

It doesnt really matter where it is that I am...if I see a penny (or other interesting object that catches my eye) I pick it up. It doesn't even matter if it is heads up or tails!

So, the funniest place I ever picked up a penny...LMAO...was on the dance floor at the bar one nite...and yes, my friend pointed it out to me just as it had caught my eye also...and she was laughing as she pointed it out. I don't think she really thought that I would actually pick it up. But I did. And we were sorta laughing about it...however that isn't the really funny part of it...the funniest part is the fact that there was yet another penny laying on the floor and just as it caught my eye and I was about to pick it up, some guy stepped exactly in that spot...I waited a moment for him to move, however he seemed to want that particular place on the floor...

I smiled at him a couple of times while my friend and I were trying to contain our laughter...she KNEW I was going to pick up this penny...And I did! I gently placed my hands on his shoulders, smiled sweetly at him moved him slightly to the side, leaned down, picked up the penny and then politely put him back in his spot...I think he may have been a bit confused....hehe
