I need to win the lottery

I really need to win the lottery - I found this great house, I want to buy it - it only costs 325,000 - four bedrooms, 3 baths - The view is something right out of an Ansel Adams photo. 43 acres, you could walk all day and never leave your own property - city life is nice, we live on top of each other - I want some room to move about, just meander in my pajamas knowing no one can see me - of course I wear sweats/shorts and a t'shirt for pajamas so I pretty much can meander in them anyway, but that is not the point...what was the point - Oh yeah, money, some people have too much money and I need some more money - just enough to buy this house, a boat, a jeep, a condo in LA - somewhere downtown - downtown LA has really come up. Should have bought there 20 years ago when no one wanted to live there; that darned hindsight - doesn't just bite you in the xxx every time? I don't want gobs of money, just enough to pay off bills and take care of my family - breathe a little easier. Of course that really doesn't matter a whole lot, it would just be easier. Yesterday, I watched a butterfly - Karma, who is a boy butterfly - but that is hard to discern. Anyway, you may have read about the flat tire while 4 wheeling, which left us meandering in a field, where we found a cocoon, which overnight became a butterfly - I spent, oh I don't know, two hours watching that butterfly - watched his wings dry; watched him take his first flight, watched him meander about the yard, at one point before he could really fly, he was on the ground so I put chairs all around him, then I sat there for, well, not all day but several hours, photographing him - I have a lot of butterfly pictures should anyone wonder why they have a butterfly picture for a Christmas present. (Hey, some of them are pretty, and what a great story) As karma's wings dried he took off...how sad I felt - what joy I felt - and Karma, he flit about the yard all day. Every time I was outside he would fly around. (you could be skeptical like Eileen and say it was a different butterfly, but a mother knows her son - it was Karma) I reckon watching a butterfly take flight and head out for his 6 weeks of life is worth more than money, but I sure would like that house - We could be happy there - room to breathe, sit in the jacuzzi and watch the sunset over the canyon - sweet! Shari is right though - Eileen and I walked the milkweed fields looking for more cocoons, could not find a one - you can't find Karma, Karma will find you! Now, if the winning numbers for tonight's lottery could find me, that would be sweet! Oh, that Magic Jack thing, not bad - quality is a little less than regular phone but for 20 bucks, unlimited local and long distance - good deal really. Hey, if you see a butterfly today ask him if he is name is Karma?
