luck. or amazing skill. whatever.

I rarely win anything. When I was younger, I did win a Boy Who Could Fly kite through a coloring contest, but that's pretty much the highlight of my luck. I just don't have much of it .... but I think things might be changing.

We had a Cinco de Mayo potluck at work today. While everyone ate, a jar of beans was passed around and we were to guess how many were in it. The person closest to the actual number would win a cute little cactus. As I'm sure you've already figured, I won.

My guess: 1,550
# of beans: 1,552

Amazing, right? I know. It's still blowing my mind. Check out my lucky orangeish-yellowish cactus:

That's amazing! Two beans off?! You must've had the force with you. That's powerful stuff.

Luck? I think not. Skill? Absolutely! The annual Christmas candy jar has finally paid off!

And how does cactus succulentus feel about its new-found competition? Is there really room for TWO cacti in your heart?

I think you're just happy to be able to say you own cacti. Be sure to water it everyday. Like you would to puppies and little children.
