How Sweet It Is

 ...that smile that happens when you put on a pair of shorts you haven't worn since last year and there inside the back pocket is a $20 bill.  Hope that happens to you this weekend.

  1. So true, usually it's just a buck.

  2. I just found $10 in a purse from last summer!

    ReplyDelete

  4. Hope you spent it on something fun!

    ReplyDelete

  5. First, I would have to still be able to fit into the shorts :)

    ReplyDelete

  6. Now that would be a great thing~

    ReplyDelete

  7. I would love to have that happen to me! But I was wearing maternity shorts a year ago, and they don't have pockets, haha.

    I found your link from Friendship Friday. :)

    ReplyDelete

  8. Awesome! I love when that happens. :)

    Blessings,

  9. Lucky you! I wish this would happen to me. Most I ever found was a few coins.

    ReplyDelete

  10. Ha hahaaaThanks for the thought That sometimes happens, happily.

    ReplyDelete

  11. I rarely ever find money in my shorts! I find tissues...and lint... no money!

    ReplyDelete

  12. I love that. I put on a pair of walking shorts the other day and found $10. Have a wonderful weekend.

    ReplyDelete

  13. I LOVE when that happens. I've had it happen with garage sale pants too.

    ReplyDelete

  15. Oh wow! So what are you going to do with your $20??? :)

    ReplyDelete

  16. That has happened to me. Sweet reward for not outgrowing the shorts.

  19. That happened to me once! One time, and we were so struggling financially at the time. You wouldn't think it but that $20 was such a blessing.

    ReplyDelete

  20. I thought you were going to say that the tag said size YAY!...but $20 bucks would make me happy too! I might spend a bit going through my old shorts today!

    ReplyDelete

  21. I rarely find money left behind. I have a knack for spending every last cent.

    ReplyDelete

  22. That would surely be wonderful. Never happen, but the thought is great.

    ReplyDelete

  23. Woohoo Bonus!!!
    Have a great weekend!
    Blessings, Joanne

    ReplyDelete

  24. Love it when that happens! Just doesn't happen often enough . . .
    Have a blessed weekend!

    ReplyDelete

  25. Never happens to me! Maybe some change, that's about it! But I can always hope!! xo

    ReplyDelete

  26. Annmarie, To be honest, I'm happy whenever I even find a coin in a parking lot. A found $20, even in my own slacks, would be spectacular! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

    ReplyDelete

  27. I'm happy when I find quarters in the washing machine or dryer! I consider them my "tips." A $20 bill would be the ultimate tip. Do something good for yourself!

    ReplyDelete

  28. Yes, I've had that happen to me when pulling on a winter coat I haven't worn for a while - it's a great feeling :)

    ReplyDelete

  29. I couldn't agree more! I haven't had that happen very often but when it does it's a treat!

    ReplyDelete

  30. hey, you are $20.00 richer. sort of similar ... when you wonder why some money went & you know the pocket you thought you left them in & they have been through the wash & dryer & ... it is forever later & you look in the same pants & there for some odd reason is the money is magically there. but it was not earlier? odd!! too cool!! (:

    ReplyDelete

  31. YAY! that is so cool and it would never happen to me because I'm too paranoid about money falling out of my pockets so I never put it in there.

    ReplyDelete

  33. I thought sure you were going to say, you put your short on and they zipped:):) Now that would make me happier than a twenty dollar bill.LOL. Smiles, Susie

    ReplyDelete

  35. OK, now you've got me looking through my pockets!

    ReplyDelete

  36. lol, I agree with Susie above! Having last years pants fit would be so much better than money!

    ReplyDelete

  37. oh dang if it happened to you congrats...smiles....hope you have a great weekend!

    ReplyDelete

  38. Talk about being hit with a golden ray of sunshine, eh? I'd be happy to find a quarter. Heck, I'd be happy if I could still squeeze my backside into last year's shorts. And button 'em. And still breathe.

    ReplyDelete

  39. Hi, coming over from the Aloha Friday Hop! That definitely would make my day!!

    ReplyDelete

  40. :))) And a 20?? Aaahh...the sweet little surprises!
    Thanks for the wishes, and you have a terrific weekend...

    ReplyDelete

  42. You can fit in last years shorts? Lucky you... for more than the 20!

    ReplyDelete

  44. I just hope I haven't outgrown those shorts from last year!

    ReplyDelete

  46. I found $15 in a purse that I haven't used for months, just the other day. I was so excited!

    ReplyDelete

  47. I LOVE when that happens. :)

    Hopefully, this weekend!!!

    ReplyDelete

  48. Hey!
    If I find a ONE dollar bill, I will be happy! :-)

    ReplyDelete

  49. Awww, that's a nice thought. Hope you have a great weekend, too!

    ReplyDelete

  53. Usually I find a cough drop or an old movie ticket..Congratulations to you!!

    ReplyDelete

  54. i love sweet surprises! :)

    ReplyDelete

  56. Don't know when I last wore shorts, but from time to time I HAVE found a ten or twenty dollar bill. That's always a nice surprise.

    ReplyDelete

  57. HAHAHAHA it almost did! Yesterdays shorts were changed early, cuz needed to wear something more proper as we were heading to a doctor appointment... and so put those shorts on today... and $4 wadded in the pocket. (GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE!!!) the bucks were from my son-in-law to square off a bill he felt he owed me. awh.

    ReplyDelete

  58. I came across a $50 bill once when I was putting out Christmas decorations and happened upon the Christmas cards from the previous year. I ended up putting it in another Christmas card and anonymously left it on a co-worker's desk (she had been out of work for a while and was struggling financially).

    ReplyDelete

  59. Nice find!!! I love those moments (even though they happen very rarely)

    ReplyDelete

  61. Wow that would really make me smile..........lol Lucky you.....

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  72. Oh wow! must look over my old shorts, too! :)
    I hope I could find some happy sprinkling dust though. Just what I need right now :)

    ReplyDelete

  73. I usually just get lint. Or an old Kleenex. :-)

    ReplyDelete

  74. Funny! I just cleaned out my closet this week! I forgot to check the pockets...

    ReplyDelete

  77. I swear, just 2 days ago I was pulling paper out of my purse and found a couple of bills. I exclaimed to my husband "Look, I found $2!" Then as I opened the folded bills, there was also a $20. "Look, I found $20 more! I didn't know I had this!"

    It was almost like winning the lotto! I guess this must be the month for finding $20's!

    ReplyDelete

  78. Woo Hoo, love those moments.

    ReplyDelete

  80. In Serbia we would say "from your mouth to God`s ears" :)

    ReplyDelete

  81. That usually happens to me but when I change from winter to summer coats and vice versa!!!. Have a great weekend!

    ReplyDelete

  82. Thanks for the reminder! My shorts from last weekend have a $20 in the pocket from when we were at roller derby!

    ReplyDelete

  84. Good for you, I found a $50 once.

    ReplyDelete

  87. Love it! My family thinks I'm weird, but sometimes I put money in my winter coat pocket at the end of winter so that I can get excited the next year when I find it. :)

    ReplyDelete

  88. I know that feeling, but the best part was knowing I could still fit the same shorts from last year... ;-)

    ReplyDelete

  89. Great feeling :) going to check mine now :)

    ReplyDelete

  90. Awesome! Would love for that to happen!

    ReplyDelete

  102. What a nice surprise..yes, thats happened so when I'm in a pinch, I'll check my pockets (lol)

    ReplyDelete

  103. That's awesome! The only way I would find money like that though, is if someone planted it there. Oh well. :)

    ReplyDelete

  105. I just found five bucks in a pocket in my shorts. :) Love when that happens! My son really loves when I find money in his pockets when doing laundry! He better start checking them pockets! :)

    ReplyDelete

  107. Hahahah.... that was luck... I usually wash the money before I find it. and then it is mostly alway coins.

    ReplyDelete

  108. Wow--that would be great fun!!
    Enjoy.

    :)

    ReplyDelete

  110. I actually had a moment like this 2 months ago. Lol, "I happy danced" so hard I almost pulled something. It was a great day!

    ReplyDelete

  111. When I find a note in my pocket it is typically beyond legal tender after doing at least three cycles in my washing machine!

    ReplyDelete

  112. I love finding money in the back pocket of my jeans. I don't wear shorts...so usually I don't go a whole season before finding it...usually after it goes through the was is when I find it. :) Thanks for visiting my blog!
