..but anyway...
When we spent Christmas in Las Vegas, I won a small fortune..yeppers..5 figures..
...$100.00 to be exact!
And, if you'd been betting I'd have it like 5 minutes before it was spent..you'd loose that bet ;-D
I STILL have it..tucked safely in my old worn out wallet..
Wanna know why? I was soo tickled that I had won (Mr. B won more..but he played more..) that I kept saying I didn't know exactly what I wanted to spend it on.
Oh..that and I haven't spent it on a brand new wallet.. {yet}
So every time I find something, he puts it on the register and takes out is Visa..{I don't carry one..or any other...because I tried, single-handedly, to end the recession and stimulate the economy..all. by. myself..}
So, I have a couple of new things AND $100 in my old worn out wallet!
Yesterday,
I have had such luck so far..think it was all those black-eyed peas we had on New Year's Day??
maybe ;-D

Shoot! I knew I should have eaten some black eyed peas on the first! That has to be it!
By the way Lady, you are looking fantastic!!
Lady Luck never looked so good. Mr. B you are a sweetie!
A great match; necklace and sweater; you and Mr B.
It's the simple things in life...right!!! What a beautiful portrait Granny on Main Street!
3 inches of new white snow in Iowa...ahhh Florida...sigh...!
Love the sweater! Can I borrow Mr. B?
I love that sweater.. and the necklace... and you look fantastic in both!
That five figure amount is going to last a long, long time if you can figure out how to have Mr. B with you every time you see something you like. I don't carry a credit card either....much harder to buy something. I have to admit...when I am at Costco with Mr. Gates ..knowing he is paying...I get a little more carried away...lol...like it makes a difference...all the money comes out of one place.
You are so cute! And frugal! The sweater is delicious and I know that Mr. B will continue to subsidize your frugality. He's a gem. Sadly, I didn't eat any o' those black-eyed peas. Dang!
I don't know about the black-eyed peas, but that sweater and necklace combination looks great on you!
I'm glad you posted proof of how smashing you looked yesterday :) It really was the perfect match.
You two make such a cute couple! Love the necklace and sweater!
Miss you, sorry I've been absent! Hope all is well and 2011 is going great! Now I'll head back a read a few more of your posts and see if I can catch up!
You are just tooooo cute! And it's no fair! So there! -mumble- -pout- -sigh-
But I love's ya' anyway!
Gentle winter hugs...
can I just say how wonderful you look? I am saying it....you really do! Thanks for being a friend Colleen....I appreciate you....
Always fun to win...and 5 figures! Sweet that Mr. B treated you and you got to keep the winning! Thanks for visiting my blog!!
Congratulation on your win. He sure is a sweetie. I too have tried to end the recession but my sweetie doesn't pull out his credit card! Love the sweater and the necklace.
Congratulations on your good fortune! I am convinced that I am going to win the lottery; I just do not know when, which is a problem. As everyone else has said, that is a very pretty picture of you! You have such lovely eyes and I am envious of your beautiful hair.
Best,
Collen
I don't blame you for wanting to use your $100 to get something very special.
