Two wins
In other news, such as it is, be it ever so not-terribly-interesting, I won a door prize today. It was a giveaway from a pricey local shop, a place that generally has very nice (but pricey) clothes, where I do not shop because of the prices. So what did they pick to give away? Probably one of the uglier items in the store, a shirt that was most assuredly overpriced and which I suspect only an active sportswoman with zero fashion sense would buy.
Needless to say, I don't plan on wearing it.
Last May at my last intensive retreat the nuns were holding a bazaar. On the second day they held a raffle. I didn't know about it until five minutes before the draw. Tickets were cheap so I bought 10. Second prize was a bottle of champagne and 4 flutes. I was not interested (even in my drinking days I got no kick from champagne) in winning that, and I didn't. I got a Discman. Which is cool, because although it's virtually obsolete technology nowadays, I can use it at home.
I never used to win anything. Now I'm sort of hoping I win the next raffle, for which I bought a $10 ticket two weeks ago (to encourage a buddy) although I never thought to ask what the prize is. A Pontiac Solstice would be acceptable.

Well, since it does seem you are on some sort of a winning streak, who knows, the third time could indeed just be the charm you need -that Pontiac Solstice.
I wish you luck, good vibes, all the jazz that comes with gambling, ya know -rabbit's foot in my back pocket (or should that be in your back pocket.) You name it kiddo, I'll pull for you to win. And, if you lose, you can blame me, tell me I didn't get enough lucky charms working or some such like that. Maybe I should send you some money and have you buy me a $10 ticket too -we can then share the Pontiac, via long distance, huh?
Good luck with the Pontiac. I'm still waiting for 6/49. After more than 20 years with the same numbers, I HAVE to win soon.
I never win anything. I actually stopped by to see if I could post a comment. For the last year I could never get to this place to do so. Even now when I click on comments your whole blog comes up again in the comment box which it has done before and usually I click off as I don't know what is happening but this time I clicked on the link to comments on the second frame of your blog and I got here so I really don't know why.
Hope you win the car!
