The Nitty Gritty

I don't typically answer these sorts of chain emails (anymore. Let's be honest, I was a big fan of FB "notes" back in the day) but I received this today, filled out by a friend, and learned a few things. There are a ridic amount of questions - but, should you be interested - here it is. Anything you could ever possibly want to know about me.

Age you get mistaken for: Last night at the KP concert, I was asked which high school I go to in Raleigh
Have Tattoos? Yes. This is not something I'm particularly proud of...
Want any tattoos? Sometimes I get the urge for another. But there are no other places on my body I'd want to tattoo
Got any Piercings? Yes. Too many
Want any piercings? There isn't anything left to pierce
Best friend? The B

Where I want to be right now. In bed watching crappy TV. Or at the beach, drinking a pina colada
The last thing I ate. Filet Kabobs from Sitti. Delish.

DIG

A while ago, Dock and I decided to start a business. After our initial planning meeting, we named this business DIG - Draper Investment Group. Basically, the goal of our side start up company is to win the lottery. So, every Tuesday and Friday, it is mine and his responsibility to buy a (hopefully winning) lottery ticket. When one of us hits the jackpot, we will split the winnings 60 - 40. While I am the president of the company, he wins the 60 because frankly, he paid for the first, well, 25 years of my life. I probably owe him a few bucks.

So with this new endeavor, I have carefully selected Raleigh's lucky gas station and frequent this secret spot twice a week to invest in DIG. This morning, when I stopped to buy the ticket for tomorrow's drawing, "Pete" (I'm not sure that's his real name, since he can't speak a whole lot of English, but that's what he's asked me to call him now that we're friends) asked me what I would do with the winnings.

Naturally, during the rest of the drive to work (at my real job) I thought about what, exactly, I would spend all of that cash on. Before investing and saving, I came up with the first six things I would do with my 40%.

1. Pay for the rest of Bub's schooling
2. Buy my Chloe bag
3. Pay off the rest of my car
4. Head to Napa Valley for a week
5. Start a scholarship at the University of Kentucky that pays for a super fun girl interested in PR to go to school
6. Buy a bar so SL and I can make our dreams a reality

What would you do with your lottery winnings?
