Poor Man's Tax

This past Friday, I paid the poor man's (in this case, poor woman's) tax. I spent $2 and bought two instant lottery tickets. I was quite sure I was going to win the 4,000 dollar jackpot. However, for some odd reason, I only won two dollars. And then of course I took the two dollars that I won, and bought two more tickets. And you know what? They were both losers. Darn taxes!

Woman, you are hooked! :) Hey, if you want...you can just give me the $2.00. I will then keep the money and tell you that you lost! I will spend the $2.00 on an ice cream cone. :)

I have to admit to loving the little scratch offs!

I need to start doing something like that -- I rarely every buy any type of lottery or scratch offs! I should try my luck :)

Next time my bestest friend is here, we can all hang out! I'm sure she'd like you too :)

How is the e-bay selling going?
