I thought I'd let you know that I'll be winning this evening's MegaMillions lotto drawing, so if you don't see any more posts from me, you'll understand.  Afterall, I'll be very busy jetting off to some exotic land, and there will hardly be time for journaling (or is that journalling?).

I play the lottery a few times a year and I am always convinced that I'm going to win.  It's kind of fun to think about.  Things I'd do with $45 million....

1.  Quit my job - I'd quit via singing telegram.  I like my boss, he'd understand.  I'm thinking something along the lines of a gigantic drag queen in a Carmen Miranda get-up.  Perfect.
2.  Show up at my sweetheart's office with a bottle of champagne and a sack of cash.
3.  Send my three officemates each $10,000.  They're awesome kids and deserve some money to piss away however they see fit.
4.  Pay off my mortgage and put a homeless family in my condo.  I would do this for two reasons.  1) It's a nice thing to do.  2) It will thoroughly piss off the Board and those neighbors that I desperately want to piss off.  (you all know who you are)
5.  Get on a plane and personally tell my mom (she has a bad ticker, don't want to shock her over the phone), then fly her to Italy to buy a house.
6.  Show up at my sister's house with another five dogs (she has four rescues) and a million bucks to go buy a farm....and 100 more dogs.
7.  Give a million dollars each to my favorite animal, breast cancer and AIDS charities.
8.  Send checks to my ten closest friends and family members for $100,000.
9.  Send a limo to the homes of my three closest friends to whisk them away (no luggage) for a one month vacation in Tahiti.
10.  Find another job.  (I can't sit on my ass all day long!)
