Back in the Saddle

I admit. There has been a renaissance in blogging in my family. I first mentioned wanting to update mine a few weeks ago, but I really wasn't serious.

Now my brother-in-law and sister-in-law have beaten me to the punch. I am admittedly following their lead.

But I have had alot on my mind lately that I'd like to share. Things like the top 5 denominations of paper bills...

So here they are...

5) $5. This bill makes me sad. I feel poor when I pull out a $5, it's as if that is all the money you have. In a way, it is...no matter what you buy with a 5, your change back is almost nothing, leaving you hopeless.

4) $10. Admit it. You stilll like that Bennigan's jingle.

3) $2. This bill is unique, but it's uniqueness makes it obsolete. Yeah it's cool to have one, but you never want to spend it, so it's like throwing $2. And that isn't cool.

2) $1. The most versatile bill. You can use it for tolls, soda, Reese's, and putting in the offering plate. Fold up two $1's creatively and it looks like you put a lot in the offering plate - which is handy when you need to try to impress the Creator.

1) $100. It's all about the Benjamins. No other denomination carries the prestige of century bill. It's been made into movies, and referenced by J. Lo. Clearly the penultimate.
