Tire Adventure

Today I decided to treat myself to Mr Goodcents for lunch. It's about 5 minutes from my work, so I could bring it back and surf the net for my lunch break. Well I walked outside with visions of sub sandwiches in my head and for some reason I walked directly toward my back tire. Slowly I realized I was staring at it and then I found out why. It was darn near flat. Great. Quickly I call home and find no one there and then call Mom's cellie and got no answer there. Soooo I decide to crawl toward a gas station on the way to Goodcents (I'm keeping those sub sandwich visions alive). Luckily the road has a low speed limit which is stricting enforced so noone got irritated behind me. I arrive at the station with a FLAT tire and begin pouring air into it. I get it full and hang up the hose and turn around to inspect it. Hmmm, what's that hissing sound?? This can't be good. So I decide to JET back to my hometown and the trusty tire store on the way. Amazingly I get right in and he fixes it in about 15 minutes. Somehow a razor blade was stuck in it!! Good grief! So I settled for Sonic and continued back to work with dashed dreams of a sub sandwich.

Sleep

Well we got my Mom retired and after a very long day of party planning and executing I learned that I'd be sleeping on the floor. Lovely. Then I find out that I'll be sleeping there right up until I go to work Monday morning (for the first time in 2 months). Lovely again. What is that saying about company and fish after 3 days?? Ummm more like 1 day... So I get to spend my last 2 days before heading back to work in the stressful situation of having company. Lovely. Life is just peachy right now. Pause.

Retirement

Well today was my Mom's last day!! After 43 1/2 years of working with the same company she has hung up her spurs! We're having the party Friday and taking a Navigator limo into work for her official party there where she gets her present. Then off to lunch and back home for another party here. We'll be partied out!! So Good For Her and here's to 43 years of retirement!

Lottery Winner

I bought a Powerball ticket last Saturday because I could definitly use $85 million. I of course had no actual expectation of winning, but I could afford to blow $2. This purchase consquently caused a big arguement between my sweetie and I, which ended in me swearing not to share any of my potential winnings. But back to Powerball. I completely forgot to check the numbers Saturday night or Sunday. But I remembered Monday afternoon so I powered up the laptop and googled MO lottery. I checked the first ticket and as expected no winners. Then I checked the second ticket, and WOW I had a winner!!! I couldn't believe it! Me who never wins anything ever had won Powerball!! So today I walked right up to the Price Chopper Customer Service window to claim my winnings. And walked away $3 richer. Not real sure what I'm going to do with my winnings, but I know they will go towards a larger purchase.
