Hitting the Jackpot

Jackpot

You can’t expect to hit the jackpot if you don’t put a few nickels in the machine.” – Flip Wilson

Carole was off in Vegas doing a bit of celebrating this past weekend and because of that, I think this is the perfect 10 on Tuesday! I sure hope they were doing lots of shouting over the weekend!

Ten Things to Shout When You Hit the Jackpot:

  1. What?!?!
  2. NO WAY!!!
  3. OMG
  4. WOOOHOOOOOOOO
  5. We’re in the money!
  6. I can’t believe it!
  7. Yipppeeeeeee!
  8. I’M GOING TO DISNEY!!
  9. Wait, what?
  10. I have to pay how much in taxes???!!!???

Chances are very good that I will never shout any of these ten items because in order to win a jackpot I have to put some nickels in the machine, which I don’t do with any regularity.

That got me thinking about other ways to hit the jackpot and I think a non-gamblers jackpot list is a thing… isn’t it?

So here is my Non-Gambler’s Jackpot list:

  1. All of your kids graduating from college AND finding jobs
  2. The birth of your first grandchild
  3. Noticing that you have lost weight and you have not been dieting
  4. Groceries that miraculously pro-create in your cupboard eliminating the need to ever return to the grocery store
  5. Self-folding laundry
  6. The discovery of a Pug that does not shed
  7. Teleportation is a reality
  8. Deciding that you do not have insomnia, but really only need two hours of sleep at night
  9. Being able to do your hair EXACTLY as your stylist did – Every. Single. Time! (See Saturday’s post!)
  10. Getting gauge on the gauge swatch on the first try

Now this list would be hitting the jackpot indeed!

Happy Ten on Tuesday!

    Love your non-gambler’s list! I can’t decide between teleportation or self-multiplying groceries is my favorite. Self-folding laundry is a close one too.

    I also LOVE your non-gambler’s list! I tried to pick a favorite, but they’re all so great I can’t choose just one. Here’s hoping we hit that jackpot!

    I love your second list <3. I can very much relate to #10 these days – gauge is eluding me lately!

    Oh, I love your non-gambler’s list! A much better (and healthier) way to hit the jackpot. 🙂 (Teleporting. If only. . . )
