I have GOT to enter the lotto

I have told you ladies how I am pretty lucky with winning things.  Lately whenever I am somewhere with a lucky draw, I just know I am going to win.  Today was the last day of term.  Just over 3 glorious weeks of school holidays!  I know the weather is kak but at least we can sleep late or just lie in bed and cuddle and drink tea.  No rushing off to horse riding, ballet, soccer etc.   Every term one of Sofia's classes gets to host the school cake sale to raise funds.  The Busy Bees were up and they did a splendid job.  They have some REAL moms in their class, the super ones who throw amazing parties and bake incredibly and decorate everything perfectly.  One of our moms says 'how INCREDIBLE is the decor?'   'Huh?  Didn't notice,' I say.   'We have GOT to beat them next term!'   'Um, ok then.'    Seriously, just don't notice these things and despite being somewhat competitive, I am not when it comes to school stuff.  In fact I am probably a crap school mom not very involved or overly helpful.  I think being a bit shy and socially awkward in groups means I am even less inclined to get involved.  My excuse is BB... I will do the community, they can do the school stuff.  

So being a great customer I buy lots of cake and those yummy broken marie biscuit cocoa squares.  I also take 2 raffle tickets to win the splendid black & yellow bee cake complete with wings, legs and feelers.   I tell everyone I am going to win it.   The time arrives to leave and fetch Rebeka but they haven't done the draw yet and I am waiting for my cake.  Finally they do the draw and my name is called.  FREAKY Dudes!  Everyone was squealing in disbelief and looking at me like I was some kind of nutty psychic.   I was actually really embarrassed and felt myself blushing which I never do.   How weird is that?   I said I would win, I just knew I would and I did.   The cake is now in my freezer to be thawed on Monday morning when Fifi-girl turns 5.    Gary says enough of the cake and hairdo's and wine and books, I need to win something real now like money or a holiday.  I agree, it is time to step up my competition entering and hopefully win a trip to Disney or something.  In the meantime, it is now 93 sleeps till Mauritius, not that I am counting or anything...

I will buy a lotto ticket for you. If you win, you fly me and the fam there (after taxes, lump sum) and then you'll have a serious nest egg for BB and yourself! I'll tell you when I buy it :) - or maybe you should tell me the day that you "feel" it! And then you must take me to Woolies, cos I still don't get a store that sells clothes and food.

P.S. I am seriously lucky, too. Won three cakes in a cake walk in third grade ! We are sure to make headlines. Another angle for our Oprah appearance!

LOL - you remind me of my dad. He NEVER enters raffles, but in the 1980s he was persuade to buy two INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE (!) R10 tickets in a raffle. He then forgot abotu it & we were on holiday in Plett when his office called to say did he know anything about this Rolls Royce... Turns out he won vintage Rolls Royce in a raffle!! I keep telling him he should play the Lotto...
