Did any of you win?

The lottery I mean.  I don’t know about you but to me, 500 Million is an unthinkable amount.  We buy tickets with my brother and my sister so it would always be a third for us.  Well a third of that amount is STILL unthinkable.  How would you take it?  Would you do a lump sum or take it annually?  Why? 

Most of us do dream I think.  At least those optimistic friends of mine.  I dream.  I dream all the time.  I play the what ifs in my mind every night as I’m falling asleep.  I think about what changes we could make.  I think about changes we would not make just as much.  I think about all the people we would want to help and how there are so many limits and restrictions it’s hard to go with your heart.  I think about A trip I’d like to take, not allllll the trips we would take.  I’d like to either take all the kids on one trip or take each family on their own trip.  I think about the impossible….all. bills. paid. totally. off.  Everything.  House, car, all of it.  What a dream.  Believe it or not I seriously do believe one day will be our day.  Just don’t know when.  J

I ended up not cooking today like I thought I would.  I had no idea that we would get messages for free things at McD’s.  When they say free, I’m in.  After we ate the free fries, got a cheap cheeseburger and had our free shake, we were both full.  No need to cook.  There’s always tomorrow.  And the next day.

If any of you have a Power Cooker and have successfully made some meals you love, please share.  I’m so anxious to try things.  I’m thinking from the info-mercial that one day we just might try some ribs.  They were fall off the bone!  Oh I can’t wait until I use it again.  It’s better than the crock pot. 

Although you won’t catch me giving up the crock pots.  Nope.  No way.  I know soups and stews can be done in either but I know I will be using the crock pot for that.

I’m working on an afghan for Melanie right now.  It will go with her pillow.  Mommy started making an afghan and life got in the way.  We turned it into a pillow.  I have used the rest of the yarn to make her a poncho and now a blanket.  I’m having to add to the yarn for the afghan, but I got the yarn for a song.  It was part of my wonderful find at Goodwill.  I plan to stop by all the other Goodwills in the area and see what kinds of yarns they might carry.  Seems like a super way to find deals.  Of course I will check it good and make sure it isn’t smelly or buggy before buying it.  Just like if I’d find it at a garage sale.

Stormy weather makes me a bit nervous.  We’ve lost many appliances over electric fluxes.  I think I’ll be stopping  here for tonight.  Tomorrow I’ll be back.  Fun time happening I’ll be telling you all about. 

Hugs and love,
