Today   I   won  a  raffle!!!!   I  was  so  shocked  I   had to   hear the  number   twice   before  I  realized  I  had  the  lucky  ticket.    It didn't seem like  this made  the  instructors  that happy  at  the  job  agency  where  this  took place.     I won a  coco  set.    Talk about  a  random  prize!!!  lol.   The  mug  included looks  neat, tho.    Does  it  get  cold  enough to enjoy  this  in California????    This  type  of raffles take  place  every  FRiday.  Once again,  I hope to be  employed  real son,  so the  changes  of me winning again are  slim.    Just  thought  I  s hare  the  Good news.    I realized I  needed a  new  blog  on Ep,  anyway. 

It's the  first  thing,  I remember,  winning  like this,  since  I was  like  10 yrs  old.   I  won a  t-shirt  and  Ice cream  at the  Angels  Fan Appreciation  day.   I believe  that  was  in  1998.    Wow!! Hard to believe it's been that  long!  I also  won  a  sportsmanship  trophy  in  2000 (sadly,  my final yr playing  Little  League baseball.)   I miss that  to this day.     I also once   won   a Nolan  Ryan  autoglove  in  Little  League  ,  for  selling  the  most candy.   That  was always  great  fun.   


I  would  be interested  in hearing  some  of the  more  interesting  things  that  you have   won.    Please  share what  it was and when  and  maybe  some  background, like  my examples  above.     Feeback  and comments  on  my  posts  are  always  welcome!!

This  probably  isn't   that  interesting to most of you.    Howver,   It's  greatly appreciated, so thx for reading!

Good for you! Hot cocoa is such a happy thing to have so yes, it gets cold enough in Cali to enjoy it, just make it early in the morning. Plus whenever you see your mug it'll remind you that you've won. Perhaps holding some significant symbolic value for you?

I don't win things often so when I do it's very VERY exciting. The last thing i won was a drawing at work around Holiday time and I got Godiva chocolates, a lot of chocolates too. Took me a while to eat it so I guess it felt like I'd won a few times more than I really had. Which I didn't mind one bit.

Congratulations again. I hope you get work soon. Makes me feel bad for skipping work today but I needed this day. Good luck buddy.

lol. Thx!! I appreciate your support on this! lol. Good point. Guess some of the nights are cold enough to enjoy it. Cool. True. Then again, I can see the mug anytime I want. I put it in a particular place. Maybe a little bit. Not so much, now that I made a note of my luck on my calendar.
Vey true!! Who does win things often, tho?? That sounds nice!! That is darn good. lol. That must have been nice!! Do u have drawings like that often?
Thx again. I noticed you always pretty quick to comment on my postings. I rlly appreciate that. Not lucky, in this economy. Any ideas of where I should look next? Understandable!! Must have been nice. What do u do for work?? Thanks again!

That's really exciting! I remember in Biology class last semester I won a raffle for a (pretty expensive) study guide book. I was completely shocked, but it's a great feeling! I don't think I had ever won anything else. :) Congratulations on the trophies, though, I feel like trophies are earned more than ...based on luck. so Good Job! You must have been really cute to sell all of that candy haha and really good at baseball to get trophies!

lol. Thanks!! It really was, just because me and raffles don't go very well together. True!! That guide book sounds helpful? I hope it was? I guess it's hard not to be shocked when you randomly win these things. I guess there's always a first time. lol. I appreciate that! Good point. That's probably true. Thx again! The trophy was because I was always a good sport. I sucked at baseball, but was always lots of fun. I doubt I was cute. Just knew a lot of nice ppl.
