This morning I shared the same sad reality as millions of people around the country--I didn't win the lottery. All of my hopes and dreams for the last week came crashing down when I realized that I didn't even have one single number that matched the Powerball numbers.

This didn't stop me from making light of a dim situation. I texted my fiance this morning and said, "Dang, I had FOUR of the numbers." It was a total lie. I didn't even have one. I told him I had four numbers because I thought it would be a little more believable than saying I had five numbers.

He replied, "On one ticket?" Of course, I kept this going and said "Yes."

At this point, I'm getting ready for work in the bathroom dying laughing because I know that he is probably freaking out--even though the winnings would only be $100 bucks.

He said, "You won 100 bucks, bro." At this point, I thought it would be mean spirited if I kept it going so, I said, "No, I'm joking. I wish. I just wanted to mess with you."

He texted back, "You snot."

I'm not a billionaire or a millionaire today. I'm a snot.
