I've been writing on paper currency since Middle School (early 1980's) and I always thought I'd receive one of them back someday.. Alas, that never happened.

I remember finding ~Wilds~ prior to 2000, but at the time I didn't realize that you needed the serial number & series year or that you actually needed to have the dollar in your hands to be able to enter it.. Oooooh Welllll.... {RegretRegretRegret}
After I received a ~Wild~ in 2003, I held on to it and finally registered on this site. I entered only 12 bills that year.. In 2004 it more than doubled to 37 bills.. Quadrupled in 2005 to 172 bills.. And beginning in August 2006 I ~E.M.S'd~ every dollar that came my way, which was really hard to get used to because I had always used my debit card- never, Ever cash... but I managed to enter 529 bills that year!
In 2007 I entered 3,195 bills... In 2008 I entered 1,594 bills, and as of September 8, 2009 I've entered 2,022 bills ~Whoohoo!

I used to be obsessed with checking my email to see if WheresGeorge had sent me a notification after someone else had re-entered one of my dollars.. until I added the wireless notification alert to my cell phone! It's pretty exciting to hear George's text come thru when a re-entry has been made!! :O)

I'm looking for my *~Prince Charming~*
Do you know where he is?

Here's a little bit of history about me ~
From January 1991 until June 2001 I was the main Receptionist for a very large Automobile Dealership doing much more than answering over 400+ phone calls per day... In January 1992 an "Office Romance" bloomed with a super sweet guy who, at the time, was the Detail Manager. I was 23 and he was 24. He swept me off my feet.
One year later, in 1993, we bought our house, and began to make quiet a good living for ourselves.
On our fifth anniversary, in 1997, we were married in a beautiful sunset ceremony overlooking the ocean in Maui, Hawaii. It was the most perfect day of my life.
By Thanksgiving 2000, after four years and $35 thousand dollars, we were finally pregnant with our ~Twin Miracle babies~
But on June 19th 2001, seven & a half months into our pregnancy, my dear husband passed away during his two month recovery after his modified Fontan heart surgery for his congenital Single Ventricle heart defect.
At age 33, he was one of the ~Oldest Living Survivors~.
Our ~Little Girls~ were born 17 days later, one month premature and in *perfect* health.
It sounds like my life could have been some kind of medical drama. But I was and still am ~very proud~ to have been blessed with having him in my life for almost ten years. He was the first best thing that had ever happened to me.

The last eight years are a {Blurrrr}.. Busy being a widowed, single 24/7 Mommy to 4th Graders and a 1st Grader born in 2004 from the one & only short-term, EX-boyfriend.
I don't necessarily like being alone.. but, being alone and (somewhat) content is better than being with someone who doesn't love me & vice versa, Right? :o)
