And why do we need to work again? Can't I just win the jackpot?

Hey all,

Why is it necessary to work again? There are these days I'm really not in the mood to work and this is one of these days. I'd rather just be at home, make some pages of my Italy Scrapalbum, make a walk in the park and just enjoy the weather. Doesn't that sound way better then sitting inside a building, working on your computer or reading some things because...... Yeah, why was that? If I'm well informed it has something to do with paying the bills, getting food on the table and a house. Or so it is rumored. But I'm not sure. Sometimes I have the idea it's also to keep people from the streets. Enjoying free time too much..... Is that a bad thing? To me it sounds wonderful! Don't we all wish we'd have more time for ourselves? I wish our work week could exist of two days and the weekend of five days. Now, that would be great! I'd really love that! Instead of "working from nine till five".

There could be a solution. We could win the jackpot in the state lottery. Now that would be a wonderful opportunity to quit my job and start doing what I want every day! Going on a holiday, scrapbook everyday, buy whatever I want.... And much more. That would be great. Don't you think? But it's not easy. What is the chance to actually win the jackpot? Well, with the lottery I'm playing with it's way better then with all the other lotteries in the Netherlands, but still..... Usually I only get back what I paid for the lottery ticket. And sometimes not even that. So, how long shall I wait for the jackpot? Or shall I just give it up? I don't know, it's an interesting question, but I think I'm not ready yet to answer it. I think I'll just keep on playing for now.......

To make up for the time I haven't been able to scrap (and to have something to do besides my job :) ) I have decided to give myself a challenge:
The Page-a-Week Challenge.
This means that I'm gonna make at least one page/layout per week. Maybe, by the end of the year I will finally have finished our Italy album. You think I'm gonna make it, or not? I wonder................
