I have started the new year by pulling a 10 hour shift at the restaurant and doing a little sewing on two of my handbags before going to bed. That was my first day of 2008. I didn't mind working a long shift at all. I know it's the first day of the year and most of Chicago is off today but i want to make the most cash i can before school starts.
If i do so, I can then buy a better sewing machine so i can work on my bag collection. I have two machines at home but they need to be repaired. I used them a bit too much. What i really need is an industrial sewing machine but they're quite costly. I cannot afford one at this moment.
Today I spent 15 dollars playing the lottery hoping to hit the jackpot. This would solve all my problems and allow me to buy a few extra toys like a good serger machine and a MacBook Pro.
I already own a PowerBook but i find it inferior. Although it works good and is in great condition, when i look at it all i see is a small dent i put on it a little over a year ago. While working on a school project, I needed to do a photo-shoot on a sketch model which required a laptop to show how it would work as; then suddenly, the prop fell apart and my Mac hit the floor. It may be a small dent to the naked eye but it's eye soaring to me!
Despite of all the good wishes and prayer, I did not win the lottery today. That's right-not today!!! So for the mean time, I will continue to work long hours, wear-out my sewing machines and drop my computer until i hit the lottery. I'm not rich but content and hopeful.
