"The one time I was really surprised was..."

when I got 777 at the New York New York. I love slot machines and Las Vegas. But I'm not always that great at figuring out combinations. That's why I don't play poker. Slots are much easier to understand, except when you get some crazy combination. I had no idea what I had gotten that night, except the bells were ringing and then a fancy "777 Statue of liberty" attendant came over and gave me a pin! I still didn't get it until my husband showed me that the combination of symbols was not just 777, but more like a 7, a wild card and a doubler. Well, that was just fine by me. I think I wound up paying for the whole vacation that night.

You can ask Ricky, but I'm not easily surprised. For sure, he can't surprise me. I read him to well, and have this little habit of figuring things out way too soon. Movies rarely surprise me. TV shows, books...I guess it just has to be accidental for me to be surprised. Sometimes it feels llike a bit of a curse, because I can't feel the joy of a pure surprise.


OK, that was my second attempt at my writing prompt post...not all that creative, but at least I tried!
