Well, I Had One Number on the Powerball Last Night


I very rarely buy lottery tickets, mostly because I rarely have cash on me and, when I do, I try to hold onto it as long as possible. However, the jackpot on the Powerball has reached a high enough number where I felt investing the $2 I won on a scratch off (a Christmas present) wouldn't hurt.

Predictably, I didn't win anything. I checked the numbers earlier today and I had one (the number 18).

The ironic part of it though (which is also a bit sad) is having one number drawn is officially the closest I've ever come to winning the jackpot. Up until this point, I don't remember ever purchasing a lotto that even had that many numbers drawn.

In other words, you would be wise not to ask me to pick lottery numbers for you.

I didn't get an opportunity to see it at the theater as I had hoped but did watch it last night

Movie Review: Abigail (2024)

Image
Synopsis: A team of criminals is hired to abduct Abigail, the young daughter of an unknown wealthy man with the promise of being paid a percentage of the $50 million in ransom money. They hold Abigail in a remote mansion with the expectation of it being a simple 24-hour job. Instead, they soon learn the mansion is an elaborate and unescapable trap and their hostage is really a centuries-old vampire. Who's in it? The movie stars Melissa Barrera , Kathryn Newton , Alisha Weir , Dan Stevens and William Catlett. Review: I came across Abigail on Peacock a few days ago and, while I was concerned the trailer gave away too much of the movie for me to be surprised by it, I gave it a chance last night. It turned out to be a great choice. I'll start out by saying that group of criminals had to be some of the dumbest people I've ever seen in a horror movie. Not only were there red flags to begin with, starting with the whole "hand over your cell phones" thing, they still

Kwik Trip Kitchen Cravings Tailgater Pizza

Image
  When my wife and I decided on pizza for dinner last night, I stopped at Kwik Trip with the intention of just buying a cheap, frozen, cheese pizza for our daughters since we already had another pizza in our freezer. However, as I was walking up to the checkout counter, this particular pizza caught my eye and, even though I wasn't crazy about spending $8.99 when I already had another option at home, I was intrigued enough to make the purchase anyway. We ended up making the pizza in the oven when I got home. After trying it, I have to say it is one of my favorites. One of the things, in particular, that really stood out for me when it came to this pizza was the toppings. The combination of sausage and cheese curds was both unique and delicious, especially since the curds were fresh enough to still squeak when we were eating them. The pizza also proved to be surprisingly filling, both because of the thicker crust and the generous amounts of toppings and cheese.  Normally, when my wi
