I am hot right now...should I buy a lottery ticket?
For lunch on Friday, I walked over to the downtown Marriot for the annual Ceramic Tile show and luncheon for Architects and Interior Designers. A bunch of tile vendors rent the ballroom and set up booths to display their products, BUT there is also a really nice buffet spread, drinks, and desserts.
It is pretty much a social event. I ran into old classmates and former colleagues. There are people that I see once a year only at this event. As I walked in I dropped my business card into a bowl to win prizes. Later, the pulled my card and called my name! I won a gift card to the Plaza for $100. I never win - the tide is turning.
On Saturday, my dad and I went to the Kansas Jayhawks vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers football game in Lawrence. KU hasn't beat the Huskers since 1968. KU totally destroyed the Huskers 40-15.
I briefly played a little bit of oker back in college. Not much! Saturday night at a friends house for his birthday, we were playing Texas Hold 'em. Seeing that this game could go on forever and the fact that I was getting a little ancy, I decided to go big on a few hands. For if I lost, I would soon be out of the game with the others who were having fun chatting it up. I happened to get lucky and soon I had a whole lot of chips. I never play poker and I was never certain if I had good hands; I just got lucky. And I was able to take home the top prize.
I should play the lottery or is my streak now over.

wow. 100 bucks to the plaza!! I'm jealous. I say buy some lottery tickets. might as well... plus the powerball used to be up really high (although that was a little while ago).
ooh and no vocals/boring music isn't necessarily bad. I love classical which is mostly vocal-less.
ooohhh and you should get the free download of the week this week on itunes. (Living Things is the band name, I think) it's a fun, catchy song. (and free is always good!)
Some guys have all the luck.
Isn't that an '80's song? I'm never that lucky.
Maybe it isn't luck. Maybe God wanted to bless you for being faithful with the ministry he's placed in your hands.
Texas Hold-Em is so fun to play. We have the poker table top.
yeah, you have the table top that dash wants us to get. I on the other hand want the x thousand dollar game table! I want it with the nice leather table top for dining and the big leather seated roller chairs. It has drawers built in to hold the cards and cup holders and chip holders and .....
Well, I've wanted it for several years so I could go on, but I won't!
I'm holding out for that :). Maybe for our 50th wedding anniversary the kids can get that for us! I'll have to make sure they know the one I like! :) Only 38 1/2 more years to go! I can hardly wait!
Maybe, it'll be on sale or you can find a good used one by your 35th year anniversary.
lol, one can ALWAYS hope!
I think the cool greek people have given you some of their good luck...
I'm not lucky, but I'm greek
