oh please lottery let me win

So I have my next set of tickets will last me until the end of november. It stinks living in a state with no lottery. So I have to drive to California to get tickets, not like its really far but further than just going to my local gas station. I picked my usual numbers just hoping for them to get picked.
Making my weekly football bets tomorrow. NCAA, NFL ya know the works. Do I really care about football? na not really just want to win. So if I am betting on a game I am right there watching the game.
If I lose my bet I would turn off the tv but my husband likes to actually watch them even without betting on them.  We also like to bet on the horse races when we are at the sports book. Those are fun to watch, I love horses. The other day I bet on one that was like 42/2 and wouldnt ya know it He won. I about came out of my seat. lol. it was pretty funny. I then bet on a trifecta (sp?) all was going swimmingly then this big black horse came out of no where and one with my three in the order I picked but behind him . So I lost. maybe next time I will throw out a banana peel so he slips and wont mess up my bet. I would have won 128 dollars for my 2 dollar bet. oh well. Thats why they call it gambling. I have a bingo tournament coming up too. I love bingo. I sit there right along with the old ladies. Love every minute of it too. My hubby doesnt like to chat in bingo, so I talk to him anyway. lol.
So along with the bets I also have work to do tomorrow. Have to get ready for the garage sale, gonna sell off a bunch of my stuff, including my beautiful fake tree. I decided that I would like a real tree this year. Allergies be Damned I will have something real in my house. I can hardly wait to have the scent of the woods in my home. I may live in the sand but for Christmas I will pretend to live somewhere I actually like. I wasnt cut out to be a desert dweller. I use to get cold all the time but after the hysterectomy years ago I am hot as hell and living in hell just makes this horrible.

So those are my complaints and hopes
recap
hate nevada
wants to win money to move out of this hot ass place.

so enjoy the small things while you can, dream big because everyone needs a dream.
and love, tell people you love them everyday, the last thing you want to live with is regrets. we dont always get a tomorrow so make today count.

finding a job in Las Vegas

I swear I will just give up. Finding a job here thats not flipping burgers is impossible. I have hours I can and cannot work. I want to move away from here. The crossing guard here told me that the unemployment rate has gone up to 18 percent. While that seems high, its probably right. Companies are not hiring. Mom's that havent gone to work in ages cant get jobs because they dont have recent experience. Nothing like a kick in the teeth, you stay at home to take care of your kids and get penalized for that. Crime seems higher, not surprised about that either. Thought about going to school but I dont want to start a nursing program before I move. Hopefully we will move to where its quiet, and my kids can play outside. Probably could find a job easier. I have heard people say that they find jobs once they leave Las Vegas, hope that is true for me. That or I win the lottery. I have my numbers picked an waiting for them to come up. Until then. I guess I will remain a unemployed house wife, which my husband assures me is easier than "real " work.  I would love him to try this out. Our kids would eat him alive.
Oh well time to eat some more bon bons..

later

Combatting my seasonal allergies

Guest post written by Beth Ann Dwyer

There are so many things to think about when it comes to dealing with my fall allergies. For one thing, I like to switch my eye makeup because it seems like I'm constantly rubbing my eyes when it comes to allergies. I'm kind of bad about doing that anyway, so I need some eyeliner and mascara that stays put rather than just making a raccoon eye mess when I'm dealing with allergies.

I thought that this time around I would try and find a new brand of waterproof eye makeup. I looked online with my wireless internet Raleigh to find some good suggestions for waterproof mascara, especially. I came up with a few and decided to go and test them out at a beauty counter to see what I thought of them.
