Jackpot.

Hello homiez.  Sorry it's been a while.  I've had a busy and exciting past few days!  To those of you who are my FB pals, this blog will probably sound like a broken record so if you choose not to read this, I will not be offended in the least.  But guess who put $20 into a quarter slot machine at Potowonami, got down to $1.75 and ended up walking away $760 richer?  Oh yeah...THAT WOULD BE ME!!!!  You guys, I can't describe that feeling.  Yeah, sure...it wasn't a million dollars.  But really, who's going to complain about earning an extra $760 sitting on a chair for 10-15 minutes?  I sure as hell ain't!  I would like to think it was all karma from not winning the Power Ball last week like I was supposed to.  LOL!!  But no, really...it was quite incredible.  I immediately cashed out and ran (yes, almost a full sprint) over to my partner and his cousin who were at another table playing a card game.  We all took a double take at that ticket!!  When my partner said, "Way to go, babe.  I'm proud of you", that's when it became real.  That's the moment I realized I wasn't seeing things.  But walking around a casino at 3am surrounded by mostly weirdos with that much loot in your clutch is quite flustering.  I have never wanted to get out of a place faster in my entire life.  LOL!!  This money came at a VERY good time for my partner and myself.  We had both just gotten paid on Friday from work and we both had several things we needed to pay off.  I took all my winnings (except for a little cash I left out for myself) to the bank right away that morning.  Most of all, I'm excited to have more than enough money to be able to buy Christmas gifts for the people I love.  There is nothing I love more than watching the people I love most open a gift I put all of my thought and heart into and watching the looks on their faces.  For me, giving is WAY better than receiving.  I've always felt that way.  But now the challenge is what the hell to get everyone!  The people God has placed in my life, I swear, are the hardest people in the entire world to shop for!  Hahahaha!!!  I try to be creative whenever possible, but sometimes that is a challenge too.  But we shall see.  I will begin my gift research today.

And a very happy 5th birthday to a very special little man this past Friday.  Your Daddy and I love you and miss you very much.


Until next time, kittens...
