God's Quarter

The other day at work I wanted to get a soda from the vending machine but didn't have enough money.  I had finished lunch and was thirsty, so I started looking around the floor for a spare quarter.  While doing that I decided to ask God if he'd give me a quarter so I could buy the soda.  I looked around a little bit more and headed back to my desk thinking that God decided not to give me a quarter for a soda.  No more than 10 minutes later did my coworker walk by my cubicle and say "Did anybody drop a quarter?"  I jumped up and said, "Yes, I did, well I didn't but I'll take it!"

God gave me a quarter.  Would he have had I not prayed? Maybe.  Would I have known it was from Him had I not prayed? Maybe.  In any event, if you ever question God's existence remember God's quarter.

Haggling

I am going to haggle for everything from now on (or at least try to remember to.)  I recently read an article that said Best Buy and Circuit City sales associates are encouraged to make the sale even if it means knocking off a few bucks from the retail price.  That article and the fact that I just called up Oneida to cancel my order because the same silverware set was going for less at Walmart but decided not to because the Oneida lady that answered the phone ended up giving me a 15% discount.  I think it still ended up being a little more expensive than Walmart, but not by much.

Robots in Disguise

Pictures to come later, but I finally got around to buying the greatest toy ever. I'm sitting here at work, bored and can't wait to get home to play with it some more.

*Update - I don't think I'll get around to getting pictures up, unless the video my mom made ends up on my computer.
