Luck of the....Scandinavian?


Happy belated St. Patrick's Day to all! I'm not Irish, not one drop of the green blood coursing through, yet I decided to take my last $30 and hit the bingo hall on St. Patty's Day. Perhaps a bit of a quizzical turn for someone who is about to declare bankruptcy...but I figured I could either go pick up my dvd player and dvd's from the pawn shop, or I could roll the dice for a potential return of more than just my dvd player. The decision was made easier knowing that my brother has offered to give me one of his 3 dvd players so I don't have to pay the pawn shop to get mine back.

I am pleased to report that I did not require even a wee bit o' luck of the Irish variety, but that my Scandinavian blood possesses a bit o' fortune of its' own. I did not even wear a shred of green and still managed to win $99, which for me at present, IS a pot of gold. It means not having to sweat for the next two weeks about how to keep gas in my car without the help of friends. It is a good feeling, almost as good as the feeling elicited by the knowledge that I will more than likely be declaring bankruptcy later in the week and can gleefully put to rest the financial nightmare I have been living for the past year and a half! Woo hoo! You go you bloodsucking, greedy little attorney bastards...plead my sad little case!!!!

May the road rise to meet you and the wind always blow at your back! Long live Ireland! Ok, so I like to pretend to be Irish once a year...work with me here!

I want to go bingo! I am not talking about that lame interactive show that one can currently partake in downtown St. Paul, I am talking about the real thing. Since the bingo place is located right next to the liquor store, that would even make it more great!
