At the beginning of last period today, Beth, our computer lab tech, walked into my classroom. To be honest, Beth scares me a little. For a split second, I wondered if I was delinquent in returning a piece of equipment.
Just as I scanned my brain and determined that I did not have any overdue technology equipment in my possession, Beth handed me some cash and told me that I was the winner of this week's 50/50 staff raffle.
I won! I won!
Is this how Hagrid feels when he finds and devours contraband before I can stop him? SCORE! YUM! [Licks his chops.]
It was a modest $20 but I feel like a million bucks.
Hello, 3-day weekend!
Congratulations! I am usually not very lucky; so I applaud your good fortune. I love how you compare your winnings to Hagrid snagging a treat.
ReplyDeleteI rarely win anything, so this was sooooo awesome! I'm still smiling about it.
DeleteI can certainly relate to wondering what equipment I may have forgotten
ReplyDeleteFunny how we do that. I'm very responsible, but I get nervous when Beth shows up unannounced.
DeleteWow! You won! I have only won once in the last 15 years! You are lucky. Yes, I love the analogy to Hagrid's discoveries. Treat yourself!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny that Hagrid never loses hope that he will find something delicious on our walks and get to it sooner than I can stop him. With the odds at 1 win per 15 years, I'm going to have to savor this moment. :)
DeleteIt is always so fun to win things (no matter what they are) because I so rarely do. enjoy!
ReplyDeletesuch a great story! What a contrast of your feelings of anticipatory guilt washed away by the splendor of winning. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteHow nice that what you thought was going to be a negative turned into a positive! Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove how you immediately compared it to your pet! (I assume Hagrid is your pet ? :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
WooHoo! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYou give me hope in the 50/50 because I have always wondered if anyone really wins these things. I hope you did something nice for yourself with the money. Yay!!!
