A night at the Oscars

So last night was the big night. When all the big stars are dressed in Gucci, Prada, Armani, and sometimes homemade Swan. Well every year my sis, Amanda, and I vote on who will win and we bet something like a dinner or movie. I won last year. woot woot. So i was telling my new roomate Ryan about it. and He wanted in. The bet...1000 pennies. so the wheels in my head started spinning, which they rarely do and I thought hey, maybe other peeps will want in on the action. In all, Laurie, Luke, Cherise, Ryan, Carrissa, and Amanda all threw down. IT was a good beginning with most of us winning the first catagory. But as the night progressed I become concerned. I had only 4 wins. Laurie was at 6, and Ryan going string at 7. However, Luke was sadly at 1. LOL. poor kid. Ryan was feeling pretty good, I wasnt. But still the night was young. I had a losing streak of around 4 in a row. I started bargaining with Ryan, since he lives in my house I should take a cut. 60/40 seemed fair. but he wouldnt respond. 70/30? 80/20? ok ok, 100/0. I will take 100 and he can have 0. Well, little did we know that I would make a strong comeback and win the game with 12. Sweet Victory. Here are the final standings:

Cat 12
Ryan 10
Laurie 9
Cherise 9
Amanda 8
Carissa 7
and Luke 3...my bad.

To the victor goes the spoils. as they say.

I would like to say Thank you to my friends, Ryan for upping the stakes, My best friend and husband, Danny. and to God, without him, I wouldnt be here.
