Does your bank have a coin counter? Our's does and it's free to members. :)

You know, I'm sure they probably do, and I hadn't even really thought about it. My presumption had always been that they like coins rolled in those wrappers, but I guess that might not be the case anymore. That said, it's actually more difficult to get to my bank than the grocery store with the CoinStar, because my bank is closed before I get home from work and I'm always at the gym during their limited Saturday hours.

But! The Coinstar was free to use, too, because I converted my coins to an Amazon.com gift certificate rather than cash! And since I kind of consider spare change to be "free money," I'll take a gift certificate that I have to use to buy myself something fun! Oh darn! :D

Woe is me, $38.00 worth of Amazon fun! :D

Hehehe we don't have much spare change anymore since we use the debit card almost exclusively. BUT we bought Jack a bunch of stuff before he was born (most notably his crib mattress) with spare change. :)

Yeah coinstar was, once upon a time, my favorite thing ever. Today. Also.

Incidentally, Heather can't ... you know, do stuff that involves the universe outside of her school. As her attorney, I've advised her to get in touch with you but I can't say when that will happen.

*sigh* My favorite thing this past WEEK has been The Shining. For some reason, it's the easiest thing for me to write to... (in the background). WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?! AAAACK!

Now attempting The Birdcage. sigh. :-D
