We’re spending our 9th anniversary leisurely. We started off by going to Circle K as soon as he got up and got a few treats. One of the regular cashiers there said my braids looked cute.

We got two bingo tickets. I sensed one would win and it did, but only $3.

We were amazed at just how cool it was for being mid-June, even if it was barely 7 AM. It was no doubt 10-15 degrees warmer in Phoenix at the time. The afternoons, however, are just as hot as in Phoenix.

When we got home we ordered the ornaments and the mugs, but we may have to reorder the mugs. I think their order site was down because a funny message came up about us being on that page for over an hour when we weren’t, and I never got an order confirmation.

Usually, when one spouse dislikes someone, the other spouse sides with them, so it appears I’m definitely not going to be getting any more jokes from Dave since Mary and I don’t like each other, though this is a good thing. Most of his jokes weren’t very funny and I know how to find my own jokes. I checked out a new site yesterday with loads of good ones, so Mary and Bob will be in for some good laughs.

The good and shocking news is that we now officially have both heat and AC in the truck! But we were compensated for this by our $600 generator which just had to break at not even 4 years of age.

Later…

Well, I’ll be damned. We just checked the lotto numbers and I actually hit one and was close on a couple of others. Real close. This is when I decided to keep on plugging away at it and see if I can develop the ability to psych out the numbers. Tom said if I can’t do it, fine, and if I can, that’s fine, too. I would’ve hung it up had I not gotten any numbers or close calls, but this has encouraged me to keep trying. It’s easier than trying to psyche out winning slot machines in crowded casinos where it’s much harder to concentrate.
