Didn't think Friday would ever get here!

A couple of days ago a coworker's daughter came into work a stayed a couple of hours (bad weather caused her daycare to close early). Anyway she was the cutest four year old and after I introduced myself and gave her a magnadoodle to play with (I work for a juvenile product company, we seriously have toys bursting from every corner...) she informed me that she was going to draw me. This was my portrait:


Notice the blue mass above my head, that's my hair which I had in a high ponytail that day. Also notice the number of fingers I have... I think she knows that I need a few more appendages to get all my jobs done. That's my coworker, Wayne in the background. When he asked if she was going to draw him a picture, she just added him to mine. Lastly, this is the part that cracked me up: see the little person holding my left hand, well, when I asked her about the picture she said, "This is you (large blue ponytail girl) and this is your little kid." I laughed and said, "but I don't have any kids." She said, "that's okay, this IS YOUR little kid..." LOL. Anywho, my other coworker was in the office and laughingly said, "she might be predicting something." No laugh from me there. hehehe

Last night I had consumated the Jackson family unit of 2 bond by..... yes..... wandering around Walmart waiting for them to announce where they would be selling the PS3s so that I could knock over any elderly or small children as I leapt over aisles in a single bound in order to shell out some hard earned money for my husband's gaming pleasure. I went for the sheer fun of it! I've never waited in line for tickets to a concert or to see a movie, but I'm assuming this might be close. There were about 300 pep milling around walmart with no cart, no basket, just crowding up the aisles waiting for a chance at 10 PS3s. One girl I was waiting in one line with had brought 15 pep with her and had them stationed all over the store (If they announce that they're in the cereal aisle, I've got someone there, she said.). Hilarious! In the end the manager ended up doing a raffle to avoid the liability of people being trampled. Smart man! Well, here's our "unlucky" ticket stub.


I had 359364 and KJ had 363... they called 367! I had a feeling that was going to happen...
So no Playstation for us (I'm not devastated and I'm pretty sure Kj's going to make it). hehehe

Happy Friday all! The weekend's kind of up in the air (no idea what we'll do), but I'd like to leave you all with a rousing
(sigh, being married to a computer engineer with a talent for hacking and a love for the rival team has me just leaving a rousing) _________, __________! (For those of you who read and are not from AL, this weekend Auburn (my alma mater) plays Alabama (biggest rival) for their final regular season football game.)

Big Fat WAR EAGLE. I'll say even if I ruin my OWN marital peace. I see why some folks only marry Auburn fans ;)

And I think that was very sweet of you to mill around Walmart forever... Most of the places up here got 2 each and people were camping out. You know, there might actually be some around by the time Christmas gets here...
