This week is my spring break. I am spending my time relaxing, getting some much needed things done around the house, and not missing my middle school buttfaces not very much. I do mean the term buttfaces to be endearing. I love my kids, but we have hit the time in the year that I just need a break from them, and they need a break from me. Spring break is such an essential part of school, especially middle school.
I kicked off my spring break on Saturday by buying the first Powerball ticket of my whole life. I don't really know why I have not purchased one before now, but I am glad that I bought one on Saturday. I WON! It was only $4 but a win is a win. I matched the Powerball number and one other number. I didn't know that you could win smaller prizes to help recoup money spent. I thought before Saturday that you either won millions or you ripped up your tickets in a fit of saddness. I was happy find out that smaller prizes are not only available, but they are not that out of the ordinary in powerball. You have a 1:30ish chance to win the smallest prize. That is not terrible. I figured that now that I am not a Powerball virgin, I will play the game on an occasional basis. Especially when the prize gets real big. Maybe I will win millions and buy you a new car!
Today is St. Patricks Day! Make sure to go to the store and take advantages of the great deals on Guinness! When I was checking my blogs this morning (I have started using News Gator again...see this old post) I saw the following two articles about St. Patrick's Day on a blog called Mental Floss. Check them out!
