Buck 55 - sexy, sexy Baltimore

Woke up early to cool, dry weather and decided to take advantage of it and go for a run. I was rewarded with this sexy sexy pic on a van parked at the end of our street. Yeah that's right - Baltimore is as sexy as you've heard! Dropped Buck 55 on the sidewalk after snapping this pic.

Buck 54 - lawyer and a doughy dog

Drove to Glen Burnie to meet with a potential lawyer for our home sale and closing. I passed the building and had to turn around, which led to the discovery of Doughy Dog. The lawyer was fine, great, let's get this meeting over with and please tell me what's the deal with Doughy Dog. She highly recommended it. I don't eat a lot of hot dogs, but I do love them every now and then at backyard barbeques, vary rare sporting events and absolutely if I stumble on a roadside van when hungry. I dropped Buck 54 in the Lutheran Church parking lot where Doughy Dog was parked.

Buck 53 - switchbacks

Switchbacks in my neighborhood - who knew? My father-in-law from Chicago did - that's who. J and I went running with FIL and his fancy, pretty dog Chester (a Saluki) when he was visiting from Chicago. He's a runner and runs every visit, but this was the first time we joined him. And whatdayaknow - he takes us on a new route and we discover the switchbacks between Woodberry and Druid Hill Park. What is wrong with us? I can't tell you. I didn't want to run when J got home from work because it was hot and I am a big baby about the heat. But, I did really want to run and just gave myself an excuse to stop if the heat was getting to me. Dropped Buck 53 on the switchbacks. Thank you shady, reasonably inclined, butterfly filled switchbacks for keeping me running.

Buck 39 - 52 ALL to one funny person

I was getting annoyed with the accumulating bucks and this whole idea. Wondering, should I keep it going or just buck it. Luckily, this morning I read a friend's lament on Facebook and knew what I needed to do. Get rid of the current stock pile and mail it to said friend. whew! and perfect. this very friend once stood on the street outside work asking colleagues for $10 with no intention to repay. I regretted not giving it to her then, just because it was funny. She is funny and original and I'm glad I know her. I am walking to the PO now to mail her Bucks 39 - 52 ($14) for this quote:

Kim Kardashian was given 25K by Armani to TWEET about their brand once?! She has 0 talent, I have talent coming out of my ears and no ones paying me for this FB status update!

Bucks accumulating

It's been too hot to leave the house lately and busy getting everything in order to sell. Pockets full of numbered bucks for next outing.

Buck 36 - 38 westernmass revisited

Buck 36 - to ubiquitous street musician on main street northampton.
Buck 37 - I tucked into bike path railing in Leeds. We liked the condo in Leeds, we liked the bike path, we are excited for our new life.
Buck 38 - got tucked into busy busy wait in line bathroom at rest stop, because I would see exactly who took my stall as I exited. She didn't look like she needed a buck, but it might amuse her.

Buck 34 + 35 - Delaware

On drive up to westernmass we decided to take an exit and find a nonchainfastfood place to eat. University of Delaware exit seemed like a good idea. Utilized new iphone to find downtown and restaurant options. Decided on Home Grown, well, because of course college downtown has an eatery with that name and of course near and dear and confident we would find a healthy option. Noticed the art hanging system - cuz we need to notice that stuff and duly note. Dropped Buck 34 by the table on our way out. J said I looked way suspicious.

Cupcake shop next door, of course, because of the home grown and all and also near and dear, so we stopped in for 2 to go. Asked girl at counter which was her fav, she said Banana???? I like a banana bread fine, but really? I'm thinking she was trying to get rid of the least bought cupcakes of the day. She did confess that the red velvet was their best seller. J got strawberry icing with vanilla cupcake. I got mint chocolate chip. They were good, lots of frosting and ya know, perfect after some home grown and all. Pic of J leaving Buck 35 in apron pocket of cupcake mannequin (mannequin? confusing!).

Buck 33 - Pit Beef

We heard the best pit beef was at a small shack under the highway. Thin slices to taste as you order! We braved the sun and heat and ate outside at the picnic tables. Dropped Buck 33 in the parking lot. Thank you for the best pit beef sandwich!

Buck 32 - The Brewer's Art

T+J stopped for a visit on their way to the beach. Beers in the basement at Brewer's Art and then walk to Helmand for dinner. Perfect Baltimore night. Found a penny on the way and dropped the buck there, Chase and Charles.

Buck 30 + 31 Wind up space and vicinity

Buck 30 - was dropped on the floor as I left the Wind Up Space. Had a fun night with J and M watching a bad movie drinking cheap beers.

Buck 31 - was dropped on Maryland Ave because I am rarely parked here and someone will be happy to find it there.

all caught up, have just Buck 32 in my pocket now.

Buck 28 + 29 Mt Royal and North

Buck 28 + 29 went to kids drumming on buckets at intersection of Mt Royal and North. So far, the most money was dropped at this intersection.
