poverty stricken

I could have been rich beyond my wildest dreams, but .. I was 10 minutes late.

After making a run to the grocery store at 9:30pm (doesn't everyone do that on Tuesday night?), I decided to buy exactly one Mega Millions lottery ticket. But .. it was 9:55 and sales ended at 9:45. {sigh} I guess that means I'll have to dig through the trash, find a cardboard box, and live there from now on.

.. and oh yes, Miles and his mom arrived Sunday night; they'll be here until the end of the week. Beta is giddy beyond belief.
