The Lottery

I follow the mantra that the lottery is a tax on those who do not understand probability (thanks dad!). I've never really been into it but I did buy a 5 lottery tickets this past weekend because someone's gotta win. Why not me?

And because winning the lottery would make this month's goal null - there is soooo much I could/would do if I won the lottery. I'd start by paying off all of our debt and all of our good friends and family's debt. Then I'd buy a house and get a personal trainer and nutritionist and let's be honest - I'd get some lipo and a tummy tuck. I'd probably take a leave of absence at work and travel the globe for a couple of years with Scott. Then we'd come back to our lives and I'd go back into teaching. I'd probably take a TON of college classes because I love to learn - it's just so darn expensive. And of course I'd give tons of money away to charity.


It's nice to dream. I don't do it often. I mean, I have goals. Attainable goals. But if something's not realistic I really don't let myself think about it. What's the point? God, I'd love to win the lottery. So much would be solved. People who say money doesn't buy you happiness need to be punched. LOL I mean, of course, it won't buy you happiness if there is a foundation that isn't there. But God I'd love to win it! I bet it WOULD make me happy. AT least in part.
