Close but no cigar....

Last night was the Lucky Hearts dance and the chance to win $10K!!!! We made it into the top ten!!!! Which means that we got to go stand in front of the entire crowd as they drew the last ten #'s!!! I was sooooo nervous. Ours was #292 drawn out of 300...we won $200. Better than nothing but winning the $10K or spliting the $10K with the 2nd runner up would have been good too. Oh, well we had a good time for FREE!!!! Our ticket into the dance was paid for by my dad as our Christmas present....so a free night out with a prime rib dinner, wine, a dance and $200 bucks ~ pretty darn good if you ask me!!!!

Speaking of wine ~ I think I drank a couple of BOTTLES too many (yep, you read that right ~ 2 1/2 BOTTLES of wine consumed by moi LOL). And beleive me when I say that I was feeling it today!!! Although, I am now starting to feel better (thank goodness)!!!!

I will try & post a couple of pics tomorrow!!! Good night for now.

Misc Ramblings

Well, last nights purse party went well despite the snow and cold weather. I even got 2 bookings!!! I am ready to get the Zag Bag business up and running again. For 2 reasons really....1.) I need an occassional break from this house/kids and 2.) The extra $$ is nice to help pay bills/vacations/etc.

Picture this.....It's Saturday, 5:30 am, the kids are with grandma, Brad is at work. So, what am *I* doing? I should be all snuggled up and snoozing in my toasty warm bed but I'm not. After Brad left I just couldn't fall back to sleep so here I am tinkering on the computer.

Speaking of which...I ordered a new cell phone Thursday directly from Virgin Mobile. It was about the cheapest phone they had (only $15 ~ good enough for what I need it for). Fed Ex ground shipping was free ~ OK anything free is great!! So, with tax my new little phone was only $16.15!! Here I am expecting my new phone to arrive sometime mid-next week. So imagine my surprise when the Fed Ex truck comes wheeling up in front of my house FRIDAY afternoon (this was just 1 day after ordering it). All of my invoices indicated Fed Ex GROUND but the box said Fed Ex EXPRESS!!!! WOO!!! HOO!!! I'm sure that was probably a mistake but it worked to my advantage huh? Well, now I am trying to get everything transferred over from the old phone to the new phone on-line and well....Virgin Mobiles system is not working with me here!!! So, now I have to wait until 7 am Mountain time (I *think* that is 9 am MY time ~ scratching head here). But hopefully we can get this fixed today and I will have a phone again. Not that I use it that much really but I do like having one when going to purse parties and on the road with the kids, etc. Just that sense of security I guess.

I will need to get a nice long nap in this afternoon as tonight is the Lucky Hearts Dance and I plan on being out late and drinking a little bit of wine!!!! But for now I guess I will clean up this scrapbook room. How DOES this room get messed up so quickly?

My poor neglected BLOG

Well, it has been a few weeks since I last posted and LOTS has beening happening. The biggest news being that we got robbed. It was the evening of Jan 17/morning of Jan 18. I woke up and discovered my purse missing and our back door unlocked. Bradley wasn't home ~ just me & the kids. They took my purse from the living where Lance was sleeping and I had a lamp on in that room too (brave people I tell ya). We found my purse out in the garage with all the contents dumped out on the hood of the car and the ground. They took my cell phone, a credit card and a few dollars ($3 or $4) that I just happen to have (they hit me on a good day LOL). A trip to Home Depot and $400 later I am feeling a little bit more secure. No one has been caught yet but there have been lots of similiar break-ins in surrounding towns so hopefully the police will get a break in the case real soon.

On to other news. We had a pretty big snow storm last night/this morning but based on the news reports it sounds like we just missed the MAJOR part of the storm. I think we got about 4-5" of snow. Not enough to call off school. I am sure there are lots of disappointed little kids out there today (LOL). Bradley had to take a load of de-icer to Kansas City this morning and he called and said just outside of our area the roads are fine in that direction. But south of here (closer to St. Louis is supposed to be a BIG mess) and Bradley may have to take a load of de-icer to the St. Louis airport later today.

Thank goodness we didn't get hit too hard as I have a purse party tonight in Quincy. I have taken it easy on the parties lately and haven't had any for a few months now. But I think that I am ready to get back into the swing of things!!! Hopefully, we will have a good turn out and I will be able to get a couple of bookings too.

I have been busy scrapbooking and creating layouts/etc for my design team obligations at www.savvynsassy.com I am waiting for my Feb shipment of ribbon and can't wait to get started on my creations. Also, this month I will be hosting a challenge on their site ~ I will be posting it sometime over the weekend. I will be giving away a RAK to those participating as well. So, be sure and check it out. I will post the details here too!!!

Well, off to sort my fabric swatches for my party tonight and make sure that I have everything that I need for tonight. Like I said it has been a few months who knows what might be missing and where it might be (LOL).
