This afternoon I went to the Hinckley building for a clothing swap. I brought a purse that was in mint condition from a D.I. swap that I didn't really want. I picked out 2 king sized blue jeans so that my mom can make a jean quilt. They had a point value system which limited you on what you could pick out to keep. Jeans were 5 points, t-shirts 2-3 points, shoes 10 points. Kind of dumb tally system as far as checking out. Because if the leftover clothes are being donated to charity ie (D.I)--there is really no point to keep track of how many points are spent. Now if they wanted to limit the good clothes from getting picked first, than I can understand the idea behind the point system. 


So I went to check out and handed the girl my ticket worth 2 points and 2 jeans. The girl looked at me and said these jeans are 5 points each. I said, "I know." 2 Tickets for 2 jeans. I still want them. She had this weird look on her face, kind of like I don't know what to say. Then she said, "we'll just take points from over here that someone else didn't use up." She bagged them, and I was on my way home. 
We'll....I got smart on the system. I found a sweater in the freebie pile in our laundry room and decided to go back just shortly before they closed the swap. 
I SCORED!!!! They finally disregarded the point system and said get what you want. I got 4 more pairs of blue jeans. So 6 total!! After trying 2 of them on....I found one that I LOVE! The other fits too, but it is more of a low rider pair of pants--not really what I prefer. 


So the funny thing about all of this is I had more luck finding a pair of pants that fit me by randomly grabbing pants off a swap table, then when I've tried on 15-20 pairs of jeans in a store!


Then we went on a date night Scavenger Hunt! It was sponsored by the I-Comm group on campus. It took close to 2 hours to find everything...I must say that is 1 HOUR longer than the SCROLL newspaper said it would take. Each location or business offered a clue to the next location and a discount at their store. We used Antonio's phone and a bar code application to scan a bar code at each location we went to. It was fun, but 3/4 the way through I was wearing out of energy. A lot of in and out of the car!


So I guess you can say that we scavenged a lot of Free things today! 
Happy Friday!
