500 million. 500 million. That is so much money. Sooooooo much. Can you imagine your life after 500 million dollars? I cannot. If I lived on that money with my current lifestyle, I could live for almost 90 years. With money left over. So am I going to buy a ticket? Probably not.
My current obsession with Dave Ramsey is influencing this one. He always says "the lottery is a tax on the poor". But I don't know if I believe it. I mean having 5 or 10 to put towards it is fine. But I wouldn't say spend 100 on it. I dunno. I always lose anyways soo it's not worth it to me.
Who knows no one could win this week too an then it could get even higher. But what a life changing moment for someone who does win. Wow.

Scrapbooking, Saints Row 2, and chips and salsa
I love these. All of these things! I am seriously addicted to all of these things. Scrapbooking however is hard because you always see new things that make you want to buy them and it's easy to spend all your money there. It's super crazy! But the good thing is, after buying everything you have a stockpile and can go do it when you are a little short on cash.
Saints row 2. For those of you who don't know, I love Xbox. Like almost unhealthily. It's my escape. What I do when I'm depressed or sad or lonely. It's great. Sometimes I do it when I am none of those things. And just because I love the game. I happened upon this game not too long ago (a few days to be exact) and knew I was going to have to buy it. Went to GameStop, and $19 later, I was playing it. It is so fun. It's very crude however. Not something for young kids. But it's my new obsession for the moment.
Finally chips and salsa. I am hooked. If video games are my alcoholic escape, chips are like my actual drug. Like my injection. I crave them all the time. I generally have a bag of tortilla chips with me always. It's bad. But so good!! I think it's the salt and the crunch combination that are too much to resist.
A lady I work with makes her own salsa and sells it for our company's charity. I have bought 2 jars and been given one. It's so freaking good. If any of you SOCal kids want some it's so delicious. I have the hookups. Let me know :)

Retail bleeeeeeech
I have worked retail or even just sales my whole working career. Well before my current job that is. And it always amazes me how people treat sales people. I have gotten "you-who's" across the store, Finger snaps, or rude excuuuuuuse me's" and sometimes you get the nice customers who love talking to you and are so friendly and it's so nice.
Theeeeen you get the people Who want to tell you everything about their lives. Or the crazy ex girl friends that they may have had.
I work with my roommate from time to time to help her out when the store needs coverage. And today when I was working we had a guy come in and talk to us for one hour about crazy dates that he had been on with crazy girls. We were slow but even when the customers would come in he would stop his story and wait till we were both back to resume.
It was really annoying. So if you are shopping please be kind and respectful and nice to the workers.

Tuesday's review
Soo, because I am doing a post a day for a year, I figure one day a week I can do a "cop out" and review a product, app or game that I use. Today goes with writing, listening, podcasts and an iPhone app. Stitcher radio is a great app for anyone who likes listening to podcasts or even live radio.
As you can see from the pictures it has so many options to choose from on a wide variety of shows and topics. It is also very easy to use. The shows are divided by not only content (finance, writing, politics) but also by you put shows you want to constantly be updated on and you can see lots of different topics.
It's a really great app. Anyone with an IPhone or iPad should get it and use it. I love stitcher :)

My bucket list
Flash mob!!! I finally got to see one!! So amazing! I was super happy that I had the opportunity to do this. Kevin's little brother is in a band, dead off center (they are super good) everyone should check them out.
They did such a good job with this flash mob and everyone had a great time. The people in the restaurant are super surprised and it was such a fun song for them to do!
This has always been something that I wanted to see, there is only one more flash mob related item on my Bucket list. And that is to actually be in one. But it always feels good to do something on the list and to experience new things!
I have video but have to upload it to youtube before I can show people via this blog. This was a really fun day for me and I got to spend more time with Kevins family which was really great too :)

A day in HB
I know that it's technically past midnight, but I haven't gone to sleep yet, so it's all good. I got to spend the evening with Kevin's mom. I was really nervous because I had never had any one on one time with her before. But as the night progressed I quickly realized I had nothing to worry about.
It was a really fun time we went to dinner and looked at Kevin's baby pictures, (Kevin was almost as cute a kid as me ;) ). Then we watched Hugo. Which was good, but I didn't understand how the robot tied into it. Like I understood that he drew things and that's all that was left of his legacy buuuuut, why was the robot created?? Ha oh well it was fun :)
So overall it was a really fun day to spend down here and really get to know more about Kevin's mom and family.

We didn't start the fire
So scary day at our house last night. If you never saw Lesley's post, our house caught on fire. Literally flames in the wall. It's really crazy. Luckily the mechanic was here to fix another problem, but it was still pretty scary.
The good thing is our house is fine we are all safe and our possessions are good too. But it's a scary thing to have something like this happen. Something that is so intrusive in your life. You are supposed to feel safe at home and not that I don't feel that way now but still it's frightening.
It's all good though :) life moves on and I have an exciting weekend ahead of me. I get to go watch a flash mob on Sunday. I can't tell you where though. I will be filming and taking pictures though! It will be my Sunday blog :)
