Dumpster Diving....

Okay this is going to have to be quick. I just got home from my pottery class and I still need to watch American Idol (don't tell me who got kicked off - I don't know yet!). I know a bunch of people are waiting. I guess it was a good cliff hanger....

So, yesterday I told Jake I wanted to go take a look in this dumpster that is just for recycled paper. We have a bunch of them our town. They are green and everyone knows they are for recycling. I was reading on Hot Coupon World and a bunch of women go on Monday and look through the recycled papers for coupons. This particular dumpster I wanted to look through is perfect because it is at a church and it has walls built around it to hide the dumpsters, which mean I can pick through without drawing too much attention to myself. We got there and I started looking. First I saw a bunch of opened mail. It was stuff like credit card statements and things that I personally think should have been shredded. I told Jake we should warn these people that someone might steal their identity. I was, of course, kidding....I am not that much of a vigilante. I digging until I come across a bag that has some papers, magazines (new ones - you know what I love more than magazines? Free ones. LOL.) and a passport. Yes, a brand spankin' new passport. Trust me, if it wasn't for the craziness of finding a passport, I probably wouldn't be posting about my DD on my blog since I know the "gossipers" are having a hay day with this one!!! I show it to Jake and he checks it and sees it was just issued on April 2nd. Oops...I don't think anyone wanted to recycle that. I started to freak out a little....what do we do? Take it to the guys house? Leave it here? No, that really wasn't an option. So, Jake says we need to take it to the police. Great. Now I have to tell them I was digging in a dumpster, looking for coupons, when I found this thing. We went there. I was so nervous. I am not even sure why. But, anyhow, it took forever but I did give it to a police officer - who had to take my name, address, SS# - what the heck? He didn't even ask where I found it. So, that is my story. You thought I got arrested didn't you? I will say, there was a little rush when I was looking through the stuff but...I don't know if we'll be doing it too much. I think if may be easier to have people save their coupons for me. I am addicted (yikes).

Have a good night.

BTW....while I was typing this Jake was watching the news and they said who got kicked off American Idol. So he knows....I still don't.
