Birthday Money!

When you are a kid, it takes a while to appreciate the value of a card with 5 bucks in it. As an adult, 5 bucks in a card is awesome! And it's awesome whether you're 5 or 50...

I mentioned in a previous post that somehow Geoffrey the Giraffe got wind of my son's birthday, and he gets a $5 coupon to Toys r Us in the mail every year for his birthday. Today, I got the grown up version...$15 to spend at JC Penney! No catch...if I manage to spend only $15, my purchase is FREE. How cool is that?

Yes, I know there is probably some "Big Brother" marketing going on and I should be mildly alarmed that Toys r Us and JC Penney know when my sons and my birthdays are. But really, I'm just thrilled to get the freebies!
