Look what I won! and I'm Moving!

Naomi over at Superdumb Supervillain had a contest going to win this 8'x10' rug from Flor.com valued at $339.00.

I WON!!!!!!!!!

Plus we are moving this weekend to another apartment in the same complex we are in, a one bedroom downstairs. It is the one we wanted when we moved in but it was already taken. All this has happened this morning. PHEEEWWWW! I'm tired just thinking about it. But no more stairs, which is great for me and $100 less a month for rent. So we could not pass up the opportunity.

PLUS_ Last night I got an email from Therese at Thefarmhousefive.com telling me I have won a $25. GC to her website. She has gorgeous stuff for kids. Check it out.

Heads or Tails #28

This week's theme for Heads or Tails is:
Tails - List 7 Things from a category of your choice. Here are 7 of my favorite television shows.

1. House - I have a huge crush on Hugh Laurie who plays Dr. House, and I just love this show.

2. ER - I have watched every season season of ER since the beginning. Can't get enough of it.

3. Grey's Anatomy - This is my favorite although I was a little disappointed in the past season.

Hmmmm....Doctor shows- Notice a pattern here?

4. Survivor - This is another one I've watched every season of. I look so forward to each new season. In CA we had a Survivor season finale party every year with our friends. It was great!

5. Dexter - My new favorite show of the season. What a great concept for a show.

6. Ugly Betty - Great characters. Keeps me interested.

7. CSI's - yep, all of them! The original is my fave, then CSI Miami (adore David Caruso), then CSI New York.

WANT

Manic Monday WANT

The theme over at Mo's this week is WANT. The one thing we want most in the world is our own place on the lake, similar to this one we looked at last week. It even has it's own party deck in the water, great for cookouts. A little steep in price for us, but we want to be on the lake so bad.

Monday's A Bitch
The Five Senses

1. What smell reminds you of your childhood? breakfast cooking in the mornings, beauty shops (my grandma owned a beauty shop and I spent LOTS of time there)

2. Would you ever consider getting laser eye surgery?
If you pay for it, I'll have it done today! Otherwise I cannot afford it.

3. What food do you love now, that took you a long time to develop a taste for?
Chinese food. I would not even try it as a kid because it looked gross to me, but I love it now.

4. Do you have sensitive skin? Is there any material that you don't like touching your skin?
No, I do not have sensitive skin. I don't like anything itchy and scratchy next to me skin, but no one does.

5. Whose speaking voice is your favourite to listen to?
My son David. I could talk to him for hours and hours. My hubby says I light up like a Christmas tree when he calls.

Manic Monday

1) You find that your best friend has stolen money to pay for medical treatment for a seriously ill relative. What would you do?
I would do nothing, I think. That would be their business, and wow! That is a hard question to answer. But yes, I think that would be between them, God and the police to figure out.

2) What three things you regret not learning to do?
Swimming
Quilting
dancing
*********************
Curious as a Cat

1) What existing country has the most beautiful sounding name?
United States of America

2) What job do you think would be a lot of fun to try out for awhile?
I would love to be a teacher.

3) For what would you sell your soul?
There was a dark time in my life that I would have sold my soul for money, but I would not sell my soul for anything. Would you?

4) What is the best revenge you have ever taken on someone?
It took me a long long time to realize that the best revenge in the world is to be happy. People who did things to you that make you want to get revenge do not want you to be happy. They want you to be miserable. I decided not to play into that.

5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.
This photo reminds me of my own hands. Hands tell such a story about us, who we are, what we do and don't do. Every line in our hands has meaning. I wish I could read hands. I'd like to know what story mine tell.

Smokey Bones - the adventure

Hubby worked last night so my son Dennis, his wife Regina and Lily picked me up about 5:30 pm for an adventure, or so they told me. Little did I know what an adventure it would be. First we headed down to Kennesaw to the new Burlington Coat Factory store that just opened. It was very nice. I wanted a new purse, but the "one" just wasn't found. I bought Lily a cap that she wanted...pics coming later.
Then we went to eat, or tried to. Everywhere we went had an hour to ninety minute wait just to get a table. We stopped at about five places. By this time, Lily was cranky and Regina was getting a migraine which only got worse as the evening went on. We finally stopped at Smokey Bones BBQ, a place I had never been. We walked in and they stated it was only a ten minute wait...so Great right? WRONG! I looked around... I saw every obese person's nightmare... BOOTHS!!!!! I do not fit in booths very well anymore, sad to say. It's one of my biggest fears, either not fitting at all, or getting stuck.Add that to another reason I just don't go out anymore.

I had to ask, very embarrased, if they could let us have the only table in the whole place that had a booth on one side and chairs on the other. It was a table for eight. The hostess looked like I'd just told her I would rob the place or something, she seemed very confused, so I had to explain to her that I was too dang FAT to fit in their booths. The nicest waiter in the world, a cutie named Jeff, came up and heard the conversation. He asked us to wait a minute, then proceeded to give the four of us this eight person table. The atmosphere was good, Lily was singing, things got better..... for a minute.

Regina's headache got worse, and after we ordered it took almost 45 minutes to get our food. By this time it was after 9pm, the baby was literally screaming to the dismay of all those around us and was very hungry, and Regina just wanted to go home to bed.

But..... the food was worth every minute's wait. Very very good! I even had a drink, which I've never done in front of my 31 yr old son... they have a specialty drink called a frozen Cosmorita, which was an icy concoction of margarita and cranberry with a touch of vodka thrown it. We finally left and although the night sounds awful, the adventure was fun for me anyway. I got to talk and laugh with my son, laugh and sing with with my grandbaby, and came home and slept like a baby myself.
Sorry you have a migraine Regina, hope it is better this morning. Thanks to you both for taking me out!
