today is my husband's birthday. his day started out pretty fantastic if you ask me.
before work, he swung into the gas station. there are a couple guys from work there. one of them buys a lottery ticket. then matt, thinking it could be his lucky day, buys one as well. he almost bought a different one, but bought the same kind his buddy had just purchased. then, another guy from work buys another one of the same kind right after matt. they go to work.
at work, before they start their shift, they start scratching. matt sees he has a bunch of matching numbers. first he won fifty, then a hundred, then one fifty...pretty soon he had a winning ticket worth FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. happy birthday indeed!
so, matt figures he has been so lucky today, he purchased 27 powerball tickets (he turned 27 and he's all about numbers this evening). i can't complain because he bought it with his winnings. plus, how damn cool would that be if this was THE story of the $20 million powerball jackpot winner.
when i got home tonight, we had dinner, then had some carrot cake bars i bought today. tucker was looking forward to daddy's birthday cake, so we even plunked some candles in there for him and daddy to blow out.
anyways, wish us luck with that powerball jackpot. :)
That's awesome! How great to have a win like that on your birthday. If you do win the Powerball, remember those who read your blog. Ha ha. :P

I love you. You said damn. That is awesome. I am so freaky about saying things like damn and other words of questionable merit on my blog. You are my new favorite person.
I am so excited for you guys! $500 bucks! Awesome! Go powerball jackpot!!!

I have dreams of winning the lottery. But I've never bought a ticket. I guess I'm afraid of my dreams. Ok just kidding. But happy birthday to your hubby!
