My "if I win" musings are similar to others here. And I'd set up a metal sculpting studio for myself.

This may seem odd, but I've found myself wanting to play Civilization today. The first time I played, I was listening to Bowie and named all my cities after his song titles. (Suffragette City!)

Oh, dear, lisah.

I do not have a plan for any millions or multi-millions I might acquire. Just getting all that money into FDIC insured savings accounts until my debts and taxes are paid and then I'll figure something out.

I never play, which means I never win. But I seriously think I might be traumatized by it!

I feel bad for my mom re:David Bowie because she was just saying how she thought he was so much younger than she is, but really she is only a year older. I think it made her feel good- and then he died:(

I heard a good analogy for the chances to win the big lottery. If you had a stack of pennies the height of the empire state building, then the odds of picking one particular penny out of that stack are a thousand times better than picking the winning lottery numbers.

Do you ever lie in bed at night, in the dark but not asleep, and think that it could be any night of your life when you were lying in any bed as long as it was dark and if you reach out and turn on a different lamp you will be in a different room than the one you went to bed in?

Had trouble getting up this morning.

That's fascinating. I dreamt my cat pooped a lot in the litter box and I had to clean it. Thanks dreams!

The window cleaners are back.

I dreamed about work meetings. So incredibly boring.

I had a dream we had a new neighbor who brought over 2 strawberry bushes (I know they don't grow on bushes in real life) to my house and 2 plants with money tied to the branches to our next-door neighbor. I asked the next-door neighbor if he wanted to trade 1 strawberry bush for 1 money bush so we would each get strawberries. He was all, "Yeah, I'll keep my money plants, thanks." And then on closer inspection the "money" was just coupons that look like money.

So basically I won, is what I'm saying.

Is that a prophetic dream that you aren't winning the lottery? Better enter the strawberry lottery, Tep. Which is basically what planting strawberries is, I guess.

ETA also, I have a Strawberry Tree in the backyard which is for shade and ornament, not for eating - it has fruit that kind of look like strawberries and they are technically edible but, as the lady at the nursery told us when we bought it, you wouldn't want to. SO be careful with those strawberry bushes.

Is that a prophetic dream that you aren't winning the lottery?

I hope it's a prophetic dream that strawberries are coming my way! (Well, we bought strawberries at the grocery store this weekend, so they already came my way, but I'll take more!)

ISTR that, in the dream, I saw that a real $10 bill had fallen off the money bush, and I pocketed it. So this means a couple of things: 1. I am a shifty thief in my dreams, and 2. $10 founding father without a father, yo.

But if I randomly find a $10 in the next couple of days, I'm going to open up my own psychic hotline.
