Tonight could be THE NIGHT. The night that all my dreams come true. It is possible that I will win the coveted Powerball. Tonight!!!! The Jackpot is now at $240 MILLION. I have been trying to win this sucker faithfully for about 7 years now. $5 for every Wed. drawing and $5 for the Saturday drawing. Even when the Jackpot is low (You can't win unless you play!) Double that when you include the tickets that E has also been buying. Just about every month he buys a new issue of the Dupont Registry, the guide to America's most luxurious homes and cars. So every month we have our cars and homes picked out, just in case we win!! I have to admit that together we have spent about $20 in tickets for tonights drawing, including a pool I have going at work.
So what am I going to do once I win? First of all, I will quit my job...or at least take a LONG leave of absence. Second, I will call a travel agent and have her book us tickets straight to either Costa Rica and Hawaii. Hopefully we'll get married there. Then we will honeymoon all over the world.....buying souveniers from all the exotic countries that we visit. Boy, I kind of sound like Becky Bloomwood-Brandon in the book Shopaholic and Sister, don't I? When we get home we will move into an amazing house and maybe start some kind of business. Who knows where home will be at that time....if we actually win the Powerball, it is likely that we will have homes in a number of places!!!! We would throw a huge party for everyone we know...YOU ARE ALL INVITED!!!! We will make sure our families are set and then give some to charity too, of course.
Okay, I am just dreaming, but you just never know...someone has to win it!!
And now on the more negative-side.....Holy Crampola..... This is definitely TMI, but man, do I have some terrible cramps going on today. And my back hurts something awful. I've worked 22 hours in just the first two days this week. And I am really looking forward to another 10 hours today. Woe is me!! I finished a couple of layouts last night when I got home and then went straight to bed. E said I kept him up all night long, tossing and turning, moaning and groaning. Oops! And I can tell that I didn't sleep well at all either...I feel like I took a fall down the stairs or something (and I have actually done this several times before, so unfortunately I know exactly how it feels the next day).
Wanna see my latest Layouts?
Have great day....keep your fingers crossed for me!!!!!!
Oh, and later today I should have several answers to the movie quiz that I posted yesterday....leave me a comment if you would like me to e-mail them to you!
Well I wish you luck, but you're going to have to share with me because I have the winning ticket!

NO WAY, I HAVE THE WINNING TICKET!!! LOL! So nice to have dreams..Dreams of becoming rich, it's too bad we all have that dream. I need to commit like you do Kristi and buy a ticket every week. I tend to only buy when the jackpot gets up there which is really not the right thing to do since my chances of winning go down as the jackpot goes up. I'll get it right someday!
