Monday Medley: Tossing money at Mall of America

Did you hear about the man who was trying to spread holiday cheer at the Mall of America? He was arrested for disorderly conduct for throwing 1,000 $1 bills to the crowd. I get why it could cause a disturbance (or stampede…) but it was a nice gesture, dude.

Smaug is flying Air New Zealand! I love it.

Crafting Connections is giving away a bunch of free mini magazines, but they are only free today so get them quickly!

The Thanksgiving weekend record was broken with the second movie in The Hunger Games trilogy, Catching Fire. Have you seen it yet? Indy and I read the books out loud so we are looking forward to watching it together. Laurie says that it was very well done—much better than the first film—so I’m optimistic again. But who am I kidding? I really wanted to see it either way!

If you’re buying Starbucks gift cards this year, today is a good day to do it. You can save $25 off any order of $60 or more in honor of Cyber Monday. I completely forgot about Cyber Monday, of course, and I usually buy a few of these for people who love Starbucks (I’ve given up caffeine again, myself). Know of any other good deals? Share them in the comments below.
