Let It Snow

The snow is here and it just keeps on coming! I love how pretty it is when it first falls and how nice it looks out the window from my comfy couch! Not looking forward to trying to get out later today, but luckily S is not in NY and he can be the one to shovel! We are getting even more snow tomorrow night ... I'm glad it will be a white Christmas! Hopefully, the snow won't be too dirty by then and still look pretty!

The Countdown

The official countdown has begun ... 9 days to go!! I guess I'm pretty happy with how much I have done and a little stressed about how much I have left to do, but I am SO much better off than a lot of people I've talked to recently! That makes me happy and sad ... happy for me, sad for them. The girls asked what I wanted for Christmas this year and I said "more time." Pretty sad state of affairs ... but that is the reality of this crazy world we live in. I'm trying to keep the true meaning of this holiday in check and am so very thankful for my family, our health, our friends, that we have jobs, that we have a roof over our heads, etc.

Why?????

Why do I bother playing the lottery? It is the most frustrating thing in the world ...

My numbers for MassCash this past Friday night:
1-4-9-18-26

The numbers that came out:
1-4-9-18-32

OMG!!!!!!!!! I was one number away from $100,000!!! I could not believe it!! Why??? Why???

BTW, the payout for 4 out of 5 numbers on MassCash: $250.00. I guess I should be grateful ... found money two and a half weeks before Christmas!

The Perfect Petzzzz

I believe this is the answer to the number one item on Nikki's list for a dog just like Pepper ... I wonder if the batteries make it snore like Pepper used to or just breathe?

• This adorable dog which actually breathes offers a real pet ownership experience without the hassles and expense; say goodbye to feedings and vet bills and say hello to lots of love and cuddles
• Includes bed, brush, collar, pet tag, 1 “D” Alkaline battery, red pet carrier and adoption certificate
• The Beagle is sweet, gentle, lively and curious; they are full of personality and excellent with people - especially kids; these happy tail-wagers are sociable, smart and brave
• Made of 100% synthetic fur
