Some of you might know my obsession with the lottery. I love to occassionally purchase a $1 Quickpick to potentially become a millionaire overnight (BTW, I did once match 4 numbers and won $100 bucks!), but generally I don’t get a single number. To me it isn’t so much about winning, but the chance to win. Plus, the money goes toward a good cause….

Anyway, I am starting a team…

Yes that’s right, I’m an official JackPot Captain. I’m still waiting for them to ship me my official Captain kit (hat, billboard, payslip/money holder, and whistle).. but if you are interested, let me know and i’ll let you know when the jackpot gets over $50 million.

So in Underworld (the movie), there are vampires and werewolves that pretty much duke it out. I was thinking the other day… if I were in the movie, which one would I be? My gut reaction was that I would probably be a vampire because I already have fangs and because I’d like to hang out with Seline (aka Kate Beckinsale). When I asked Laurie, she also said vampire which got me thinking… why were there no girl werewolves? I’m trying to imagine a hot girl (like Selene’s twin sister or something) that could turn into a more slender (and probably less hairy) werewolf, but I am having a hard time.

Which one would you be? Vampire or werewolf?

Today, Toby celebrated his 2nd birthday. Laurie invited her coworker over with her dog Snuggles to celebrate and open presents. Here is the rundown of what Toby got:

– A superman shirt
– A cool bird toy attached to a stick (so that you can swing it around)
– A plastic ball with a bell in it
– A stuffed turtle toy that squeaks when you squeeze it
– A stuffed mouse toy with a bell on its tail
– A new collar and tag etched with the word “Toblerone”
– AND an Apple Dog Cake and cookie from Five Paw Bakery

Here are some fun photos of Toby and Snuggles from the party.

Read this in the NY Times today about Goldman…

The Goldman Sachs Group reported today that it earned $9.34 billion this year, the most in Wall Street history, and that it would set aside $16.5 billion for salaries, bonuses and benefits for employees.

That figure works out to an average of $622,000 for each employee, although the payouts will be far from uniform: the investment bankers at Goldman who arrange mergers and acquisitions or sell corporate stock to investors will receive much more, and support staff and other kinds of employees much less.

$622,000 is the AVERAGE?!!! Holy jeepers Batman!
