Yes, I think investing thousands into Powerball is a very smart investment! If only I had thousands… =)

We have a “Running of the Pinkies” round these parts where 15,000-some Pinky balls are rolled down a hill to a final destination and winner. No we didn’t win either. My husband has that winner gene. I tell him he needs to play Powerball more often. Maybe if we just spend thousands of dollars, it will finally yield our millions we’ve got coming at us.

Hey, at this point I would love to win anything…tire pressure gauge, pencil, medicine dropper, whatever. I need some proof that the Universe hasn’t permanently aligned against me. =)

You know that ones that wins a prize but always a really small one. Like two dollars or a free ticket when I buy scratch offs. Or I’m called in the last 1/4 of the raffle when all the really good shits gone. I guess it’s better then never winning though. My husband says if he didn’t have bad luck, he wouldn’t have any luck at all. =]

Every year at my daughter’s school carnival I participate in that stupid cake walk…and have YET to win. It’s always me and about 6 first graders marching in that circle…pathetic. I think I’m staying out of it this year. =)
And, thank you so much for the compliment! My husband doesn’t think my sarcasm comes off half as funny when it’s directed at him! He appreciates my new outlet. =)

Yeah, Wendy, I would probably be the one to win the golf package, a new set of crescent wrenches maybe, a free root canal…you get the picture. And, hey…I bet you rocked those golf pictures in your big ol’ maternity shirt! =)

I always think the more I want something the less likely I am to win. I did win a cake walk once. The cake was disgusting.

I love how you write. You have a way with words that makes me laugh and laugh.

John totally enjoyed the package but if it makes you feel any better, it wasn’t worth it…now the diamond ring or the shopping sprees I would have claimed with enthusiasm!,,,, hang in there,,,,your chances at that are a whole lot better than the lottery 🙂
