Great Start

I dragged myself out of bed around 7, groggy as hell. Got ready, but I couldn't find my damn wallet. Sonuva. I decided to go without it. I got to work, did my thing, then I went on break. As I walked by the student lounge (I work in a university) I realized just how damn thirsty I was. But I left my wallet. Instinctively, I reached into my pocket (which by all rights should have been empty as I'd washed my pants the night before) when what should I find but two bucks and some change. Yay me! So I wandered over to the vending machine to get some gum, but my favorite kind was sold out. Bummer. I bought a bag of pretzels instead. When I reached into the hopper for 'em my fingers brushed two rectangular objects. Yup, two packs of Double Mint bliss. Feeling rather full of myself, I sashayed over to the coke machine and made my selection. Two bottles rolled out. Hot damn! Not knowing what to do with the spare, I settled down next to a cute girl and offered it to her. We chatted the rest of my break and she slipped me her digits.

Yes, I'm gloating, and yes, I am the luckiest man on earth. I've got one magic dollar left and I'm buying a lotto ticket. When next I write it'll be from the grotto of my mansion.

I preferred the Aruba part.

Not quite yet. You haven't stated whether the mansion has slates or tiles.

That's awesome, Grib! I love days like that, and I think buying a lottery ticket is a good idea.

I'm a finance MBA. Don't say such things in my presence.

I don't have one. Time and time again I go jumping through hoops just to get a pic of myself to post... and then I do something stupid and reformat my hard drive without backing it up. I'll post one eventually, whenever I ever get my hands on a digital camera.

I'm glad someone is having good luck today. As for me, I am leaving the west coast tomorrow for Boston, where the weather sucks this time of year, to take care of my sister who has been in the hospital for 5 days. I just realized I will be sharing space with a CAT and I am allergic, AND my brother-in-law is an uptight royal pain in the ass.

anachronistic

my day was boring.

i woke up at 6 went to music lessons. the twenty minute drive to the school almost put me to sleep. later i found out that i did the wrong math assignment. i had a wedgie half of the day and i never got a chance to fix it.

i bought a bag of kit kats. i ate almost all of them already, i am on a sugar high. Wee!

Uptight people are the absolute worst, especially around their own place...you can't relax around them 'cause you're always wondering how many toes you'll step on.

Fortunately, I think he fell off the wagon (again). That should help.
