Lucky Green Armchair

Image
  In the early seventies, I once lived in this house that had an upper bedroom that had access to the attic of the house. I used to go upstairs and play in this room all the time. There was a big ugly green upholstered armchair with big saddle arms in the room. I happened to be sitting on this hideous chair one day and put my hand down the back of the chair. I felt something hard and smooth and pulled the items out. It was coins. I found lots of quarters in that big old armchair that day. In those days that was lots of spending money for a seven year old kid. I was ecstatic because I was able to walk to the corner store and buy lots of candy and some toys too. Then there was another day I decided to go upstairs to this room and see if I could find more coins in this lucky green chair. To my amazement, I did manage to dig more coins out of the chair. It almost seemed magical because I thought I had cleaned all the coins from the chair previously. How could more coins just keep ...

Battle of the Cigarette Curse

Image
 One of the worst decisions in my youth at 17 years old was to pick up the nasty habit of cigarette smoking. Before I became a smoker I was a beautiful teenage girl with long flowing brown hair, smart and athletic with no bad habits. I also had a powerful singing voice that I trained myself without any outside lessons. Yeah, I may have been a little vain and loved the fact that I could walk down the street and people would stare at me all the time. However, a rough home life started to change my attitude and appearance. I cropped my hair and bleached it blonde and wore heavy eye makeup. I wanted to make a statement that I was a tougher individual than my previous girl next door look. I wanted to be free from all the ka offs that were occurring in the home. I started smoking, would hang out late at night with friends without a curfew. I enjoyed conversing with friends sometimes with a drink in one hand because there was simply nothing else to do nor did I care. I thought nothing wro...

The Pipe Dream Is Over

Image
  For several years I faithfully played the lottery. I was hoping at one point and was sure I would win the huge jackpot so I could buy this large elegant chateau type house that was on the market. I ogled this house so much and even knew how I would furnish and decorate it once I was moved in. Oh, did I want that house so bad! I even went overboard on my budget and bought a lot of Lotto Max lottery tickets hoping I would have the correct numbers. I even calculated the possibility of numbers and combinations for more chances to win. I would fantasize all the time about this beautiful mansion and about how much life would be better owning a large estate and having all the luxuries I do not have now. It was a wonderful dream and the lottery helped me produce those dreams in my head but the let down was it did not get me the ultimate win I needed to buy that house! As time passed on the dream started to fade into a lesser mode of wishful thinking. I knew in my heart that the chances o...
