Lake Photos + Growing Pains

Of course I am only going to show you the good ones. Well the ones I thought were good. I sware my sister in law takes the best freaking pictures lol. And my swim shorts made their way into a photo too. Despite the look of the pics we really did have a good time splashing around in the cool water that day.

Like I said in my previous post, it was a relaxing day out on the lake. I could use more days like that but work takes up like ALL OF MY LIFE it seems!! Which brings me to my next question: Why in hell did I want to grow up?

I remember talking to my friends about the house I was going to get that would be next door to my bestie and we would have awesome cars and for some reason I couldn't wait to start working! Boy was I day dreaming HARD! All you do is work and pay bills when you grow up, unless your cool and graduated from your dream college and went straight to your dream job where it doesn't feel like you work a day in your life. Oh yea, that's how I thought life would be when I stepped across the stage for my diploma in High School. I never thought I could fail a class in college or work at the same gas station for 3 and a half years. Life sure can be a tricky one huh.

With all of that "experience" under my belt I have learned to take chances and see where they take me. I do have goals, don't get me wrong, but now I feel like if I just stay on the straight and narrow I might miss out on some things that I might never get another chance for in the future.

I don't know how I spiraled the conversation into this but I am known to be random at times. I just want to live a little. Maybe I will "take a chance" and quit both of my jobs........or maybe I will think of something a little less crazy. Me and my husband are working our butts off to save for what I would like to call a nest egg.

Anyways enough about me: How is your grown up life treating you?

If I Were To Win The Lottery

I am no stranger to the lottery. I used to work at a gas station and sold it everyday for about 3 years. People get pretty serious about winning it big. I always wished I could win, but in order to do that I would actually have to play. Seeing all of the people spend their precious money on a piece of paper that more likely than not disappointed them the next day didn't really appease to me.

It's a fun thought though huh? What would you do if you did win. If the pot were up to a million or more, what would you do with the money (after they take those precious taxes)?

Pay off my debt..Mine and my husbands. We have plenty thanks to school and a couple of credit cards to pay off. It would be really nice to be debt free

Buy a house..that is big enough for the family of 5 I have been dreaming of. Well I would at least buy a house that was big enough to start a family. Somewhere in the country with plenty of yard for my big doggie and a guest house for my husband to have a man cave...or to use as an actual guest house.

Quit my job..Yeah that might not seem like the smartest move but with millions of dollars I could live comfortably without working. Mind you I would have to spend and save wisely but that is a lot of money. I could volunteer places I have always dreamed of and not succumb to the pressures of the daily grind. 

Share..Sharing really is caring, and I care about my family enough to give them a piece of the pie. Parents and inlaws first then my brothers and sisters mainly. I love them and would feel horrible if I didn't give at least a little.

Hopefully by the end of this little list I won't be down to a few thousand dollars but its only a dream. If that really happened I would probably freak out and spend half of it blindly by mistake lol. I do have a love for clothes shopping lol.

What would you do if you one the lottery?
