3. I got my ears pierced when I was 7. I had to work on my mom for a while before she would take me. I still remember it very clearly, even the little gold stud earrings I picked out.
4. When I was in my freshman year of college, I got a few extra piercings in one ear, plus a piercing in my belly button. Later, I let those grow out, as I grew up.
5. I play the lottery. I have always been a dreamer.
What about you, readers? Do you play the lottery ever?
Linked with Nancy, from A Rural Journal, for Random Friday.
Beautiful flower bouquet!
ReplyDeleteI remember having my ears pierced when I was around 9.
I've never played the lottery!
Wishing you and your family a nice weekend, Lisa.
We have weeds growing out of the cracks in our driveway. There has been way too much rain.
ReplyDeleteNo lottery tickets here. Have never been much of a gambler. :)
ReplyDeleteI had several ear piercings and a naval piercing, but have let them all close up now.
Beautiful flowers from JP's garden!
Oh they are lovely flowers Lisa. You rebel you with all these piercings:)
ReplyDeleteLottery tickets not my thing I am a dreamer but I guess not about money yet still a dreamer. Good luck on that Lisa you could do great things with that win I am sure.
Take care. Hug B
One of our favorite pastimes on long drives is to play "If I Hit The Powerball" game. If I hit, I will have a lazy river like at waterparks around my property and will have slides as well as stairs to get from floor to floor inside :)
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are lovely! We are having algae and mildew problems from the rain, I empathize!
ReplyDeleteLisa,
ReplyDeletePretty flowers! I can see why they make you smile.
Send your exrta rain my way. We could use a good soaker.
I think I was 8-10 when I got my ears pierced. I also have extra ear pearcings ... 8 in all. 3 in the left ear, 5 on the right. Funny, I know. One piercing in the left ear just kept getting infected and after 3 years I gave up and let the hole close.
I am a daydreamer, but not a lottery player. When the money gets really big the Hubby will buy a few tickets.
Never played the lottery, but I still have my original piercings from age 8!
ReplyDeleteonce in blue moon for the lotto tickets, an uncle once won 6 figures, my mom's cousin a million, you'd think I be encouraged, lol. I had my ears pierced when I was 15, came home and my Dad fainted, true story! (only child over protective man). Once thought of the BB but was too chicken...beautiful bouquet of mixed flowers.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny that you would ask - because lately i have been thinking i should learn about buying a lottery ticket. Haven't tried, yet.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers.
Beautiful YOU!!!
-g-
Love the flowers, and such a nice gift.
ReplyDeleteYes, I played the lottery when it first came out here. I played Cash 3 for a week using my birth date. Then I played my granddaughters birth date and won 290.00. I was SO excited and called everyone I knew "I won the lottery!!!!" So, with that I bought a washing machine. I know, but I needed one. LOL
I think you should have kept the belly button piercing. How fun!
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers! I was almost 12 when I got my ears pierced. I had to ask my dad for permission, which meant it was a big deal. I had a second hole put in when I was in my 20s but let those close up. Larry buys a couple of lottery tickets a week. Still waiting to win! :-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flowers!
ReplyDeleteNope, no lottery for me, but my husband plays. :)
No rain here in Oregon. Weird.
#1 made me smile and go 'awwwww!!!'
ReplyDeleteit has been years since i've played the lottery. years.
I used to play the lottery in Texas when it first began, but then I thought "I'm spending my children's food money on this..." and I stopped. Never bought another one, even though my kids are grown now. It's addicting...and I never won anything.
ReplyDeleteWe never do the Lottery, but my mom always did and had big dreams of winning. I don't have any piercings anywhere because I get hurt so much unintentionally, that's enough for me! Plus, my hair always covers my ears, else I might have done my ears. We have green algae on our front stoop, have for over 25 years. If you find a good way to get rid of it, let us know! It never gets any sun there. Your flowers are beautiful! I see cone flowers, daisies, and hydrangea?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms! How sweet!
ReplyDeleteI was in college when I got my ears pierced. lol!
I rarely play the lottery but it's fun when I do!
The bouquet is lovely -- the hydrangeas gorgeous. I used to play the lottery. As *they* say ... if you don't play you can't win! I'll take your rain -- we need more. I was in college when I got my ears pierced and I did them myself! Ouch!
ReplyDeleteLove the flowers. We play the lottery each week. You can't win if you don't play! Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteNice bouquet! I do not play lottery. But I do remember in Jr. High hiding in the girls bathroom with a friend and letting her pierce my ears.
ReplyDeleteThose flowers are so pretty! What a lovely bouquet. My husband buys a couple lottery tickets whenever he remembers to do so. He bought some yesterday actually!
ReplyDeleteI play the lottery a little. And you had a stomach ring - I would never have guessed that. sandie
ReplyDeleteI'm not a gambler. Hubby won $1,000. with a scratch ticket years ago. We decided to quit while we were ahead, so have not been playing since.
ReplyDeletethe flowers are very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMy moms sometimes buy a ticket- but they never win anything!
love

I have some alge growing on my back porch and the garden is so full of weeds that I can't keep up. Oh well... tomorrows another day and it is suppose to rain all night tonight.
ReplyDeleteI love flowers from the garden! I just gave a bouquet to a co-worker who was leaving. I think it's like giving a piece of your heart.
ReplyDeleteWe play the lottery when it's a big pot. I like to dream too.
When we first moved to Virginia I played the lottery. It was new to me (they don't have it in Alabama) but now the thrill of 'never winning' has taken over and I just don't do it.
ReplyDeleteI do play once in awhile.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter wants a ring in her lip, uh... no. She can wait until college (and hopefully by then she'll have outgrown it). eesh
I didn't get my ears pierced until I was an adult...and my Dad still wasn't happy with me! Thankfully he doesn't care anymore. I've though about getting another in one of my ears, but my daughter (14) would disown me if I did! :)
ReplyDeleteAwwwwww...those gardens were always so beautiful...it took years and I'm sure they are enjoying each and every plant...I certainly hope so because there's nothing like leaving a legacy behind when you move on!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteI always THINK of playing the lottery! Does that count? I am also a dreamer.
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa, Your hydrangeas are gorgeous.... Nice arrangement.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember when I got my ears pierced --but I was probably in college --or maybe older. Back then, it was fairly new!!!! See how old I am.... ha
I have never EVER bought a lottery ticket. Just can't do it... I'll never win this way though, will I??? ha
Hugs,
Betsy
We play the lotto every week.:)
ReplyDeleteJust about all the teen girls in this area have a belly piercing. I have two piercings in each ear and that's all for me. lol
Those flowers are so pretty!
Enjoy your Sunday!
My late father used to say "Play it with a dollar a week--no more--just in case". Last year when it was at $10 million, I spent $10. (I didn't win). :)
ReplyDeleteI have never played lottery but I have my ears pierced too but then that is very common for us Indians! And it rained pretty heavily here in Mumbai too last week, the streets were flooded!! Have a nice day Lisa :)
ReplyDeleteI've never played the lottery, but I got tipsy on champagne when I was 21 and tried to pierce a second hole in my ear with an ice cube and a darning needle. Oh the stupid things we do when we are young;)
ReplyDeleteThose flowers are gorgeous!
I never play the lottery. Never got my ears pierced either. Must be some attitudes I got from my Mennonite ancestors!
ReplyDeleteI've never played the lottery. I got a couple scratch tickets from a family friend, but that's been it. If you never play, you won't win. YOur chance are better than mine.
