ICICLES!!!!!

My feet and hands are like icicles lately!

For about the last 4 days I cannot get my extremities warm.

So I finally pulled out the fuzzy socks.

My pink ones are my favorite.

I only have two pair, pink and black.

Upon consideration.....

They appear to be working.

I think when my feet get cold my whole body temperature drops.

So my goal...keep my feet warm.

I think I need more fuzzy socks.

My hands will have to suffer,

I really don't want to wear gloves 24/7.

Loose Change

Today while making a quick stop through a local drive through..
The car in front of me dropped some change
while paying for her purchase.
Of course, not getting out and retrieving the change
she just reached over into what I'm assuming was her wallet
and got some more.
Loose change, lying on the pavement
right outside the drive through window.

I started to wonder...
how many times a day do you think this happens?
At how many different drive through establishments?

So here I give you...
a part time job for your unemployed teenager.
Traveling from place to place
every evening
retrieving the loose change that is sure to be found.
Might not make him rich...
but would give him/her some loose change. ;)

On a serious note..
I mentioned to the worker of said establishment
I'll bet at the end of the day you could gather a few bucks
worth of loose change from down there. (indicating the pavement)
Her reply..
We actually see people walk through the drive through
gathering the loose change.
Go figure.

On the Radio

I like B98.7 radio.

I listen to it daily

whenever I'm not listening to my i-pod.

I like the Radio contests

the only one I ever play or try to play

My favorite

"THE SECRET SOUND"

Here is how it works:

Todd chooses a sound that is found in most households

he then records the sound

B98.7 plays the sound at 8:10 a.m., 1:10 and 4:10.

Be the 20th caller

guess the sound correctly

and win!!

Every time someone guesses incorrectly

the pot goes up $98.00

Easy peasy right?

NOT!

They have this contest about 1-2 a year.

last time they had it

I just knew I knew the sound...

I tried calling

(I typically only listen in morning on the way to school)

I never ever ever got in.

Soon the prize money started getting huge

like in the 7-8,000.00 range.

Todd started giving clues

one a day.

He was giving clues that fit my guess.

He was giving my guess away!!

I had not even had the chance to guess it yet.

My dialing became more frantic...

and still no luck getting through.

I just knew with these clues someone was going to guess.

And they did!

Some random idiot...

who needed clues...

guessed my answer...

the one I had known forever.

Breaking apart a garlic clove.

And he won!! He won over 8,000.00
URGH!!

So now...

"The Secret Sound" is back.

again, I think I know the sound.

The prize money is in the $2,000.00 range and growing.

Yesterday as Brooklyn was doing homework at 4:10

she yells "mom the secret sound is on"

I go into her room

and decide I will try calling

(remember I don't usually play late in the day)

Dial once....busy

Redial....busy

Redial....busy

Redial....RING!!

Seriously!! Brooklyn and I are ecstatic.

Here is my chance to make my guess.

Which I feel really strongly about.

"Hello, B98.7 you are my 16th caller"

"TRY AGAIN"

URGH! URGH!

He was after the 20th caller!!

After years of listening to this game...

I FINALLY get my phone to ring

and...

I am 4 callers off!

Seriously?!?!

I just know my guess is correct...

I will persevere and keep trying...

Someday I will get a chance to guess...

Hopefully, it is a time I do indeed know the correct sound.

Indecision...

Life can be full of Indecision...
Big things to decide
small things to decide
So many decisions in life..
I could make a list
But I wont, it could probably go on forever.
My most recent bout of indecision...
Is this:

If your a semi frequent visitor of my blog
you are probably noticing
my round of background changes...
sorry.

I loved my Jane Austen books.
But, I felt the need for change.
So I have been trying a few on for size.
I think I have tried 4 in two days. ;)
This one seems to be a keeper.

I'm into shabby.
So hopefully this particular indecisive moment
IS OVER!

I'm moving up!

I have been coveting a blog!! On one of the blogs I follow immediately plays music as soon as I pull up her blog.

I want music!!

So I got it!!

It was easy!! Once I played around with it for a while.

I admit, I am not the most computer/internet savy person on the block. I am learning though, and now I have music. :) It (the music) brings joy to my heart. You will notice I am a very diverse music listener. One of my favorite current songs is by Taylor Swift...It's about Romeo and Juiet. I couldn't find it. DRAT!!

I wondered if I could just download my itunes onto my blog....This works just as well.
