¡viva loteria!

as the expression goes…

“the sun even shines on a dog’s ass every now and then”

on sunday and monday, i was that dog’s ass…sorta. this is one of those “got to take the good with the bad” things. the bad was killing myself working over forty hours just between friday and monday. but enough about all that shit – let’s focus on the good part!

(mom always told me i needed to be more positive)

i have some of the shittiest luck with scratch off lottery tickets. one day, god willing, i’ll win the big jackpot on one of the regular lottery tickets and then all my gambling can be done in vegas and florida and monte carlo.

(or AC when i try and hook up with snooki or something – we all know how i love short, curvy, latinas…and despite her “guidette” rep she’s actually chilean).

but the tan curves have me distracted here (NOT a first time) so let’s move on…

on my way home sunday night i bought a “loteria” scratch off (designed to look like a mexican bingo card – $3) and won $20 (a record for me on scratch-offs, i should add). i cashed it in for the first $5 ticket that “jumped out at me” (lost) and took the other $15 home – or to HEB, to be more precise. bought what i needed on the way home, which ran $12, so i took the other three bucks and hit their scratch-off vending machine and bought another loteria…and won $20 again! took that to a different convenience store on the way to austin the next day and between that and the change in my pocket got a rockstar recovery, another loteria ticket, and took the other $15 with me, where it went to cover (not including tip) my much-needed post-work bar tab.

and there we were – all the food i needed for my two days off (this is being written on the morning of day two) and my post-work monday booze all covered by lotto money…so THIS is what lucky trailer people feel like!
